Finding a good dentist in Fond du Lac starts with the 38 dental practices Dental.me tracks across the city, 17 of which carry enough public feedback to earn a rating that averages 4.71 stars. Focus first on the highly rated, well-reviewed offices below, then confirm your specific need by phone before booking.
Reading the Fond du Lac dental landscape
Fond du Lac is a compact market, and that works in a patient’s favor. With 38 practices packed into the city and its immediate edges, you are rarely more than a few minutes from a chair. The catch is that only 17 of those 38 offices have gathered enough public reviews to carry a Dental.me rating, so nearly half the field is a blank slate rather than a bad choice. When an office shows no rating, it usually means the practice is small, newer to the review-collecting habit, or simply quiet online, not that patients dislike it. Treat the rated 17 as your shortlist and the unrated remainder as candidates you vet the old-fashioned way: a phone call and a first visit.
The headline number for the rated group is genuinely strong. A 4.71 average across 17 offices, built on 3,617 combined reviews, means the typical Fond du Lac practice with any track record is doing right by its patients. That average is not propped up by one outlier either; as the distribution below shows, the ratings cluster tightly near the top.
The highest-rated practices right now
Here are the six Fond du Lac offices with the deepest, strongest records, ranked by rating and then by the number of reviews standing behind that rating. Mauthe & Associates is the standout: a perfect 5.0 that has held up across 775 reviews, more than any other practice in the city and roughly a fifth of all the review volume in town.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mauthe & Associates DDS, SC | 5.0 | 775 | View profile |
| Jeffrey Twohig | 5.0 | 202 | View profile |
| Thomas Kraus | 4.9 | 453 | View profile |
| Floros Family Dentistry | 4.9 | 370 | View profile |
| Sarauer Family Dental LLC | 4.9 | 233 | View profile |
| Steven Schmoldt | 4.8 | 309 | View profile |
A useful way to read this table: rating tells you how patients felt, and review count tells you how confident you can be in that feeling. Jeffrey Twohig and Mauthe share the same perfect score, but Mauthe’s 775 reviews make that 5.0 far more tested than a rating built on a couple hundred. Thomas Kraus and Floros Family Dentistry both pair a 4.9 with heavy volume, which is arguably the sweet spot for a routine family checkup.
What the ratings distribution tells you
Of the 17 rated offices in Fond du Lac, the vast majority sit near the very top of the scale. Eleven of them clear 4.8 stars, two land in the 4.5 to 4.79 band, four fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and not a single rated practice sits below 4.0. That last fact matters: in some cities you have to actively steer around weak offices, but here the floor for a rated practice is a respectable 4.0.
The practical takeaway is that a Fond du Lac patient can afford to be picky. When 11 of 17 rated offices clear 4.8, you can choose on fit, hours, and location rather than settling on rating alone.
Website coverage and how to reach an office
Before you call, it helps to know how much you can research online first. Dental.me has a website URL on file for 22 of the 38 Fond du Lac practices, about 58 percent of the field. For the other 16, no website URL is recorded, which does not mean the office lacks a web presence, only that Dental.me does not have one on file. For those, the practice profile on the city hub and a direct phone call are your best starting points for hours and booking.
How much feedback stands behind the average
A 4.71 average is only as meaningful as the volume beneath it, and Fond du Lac’s rated offices rest on a solid 3,617 reviews. That is a lot of patient experience for a city this size, and it is not evenly spread. The six practices in the table above account for the bulk of it, led by Mauthe’s 775 and Thomas Kraus’s 453. When you see a high rating paired with hundreds of reviews, treat it as a stable signal rather than a lucky streak.
Specialty care: implants and children
Routine cleanings are easy to fill in Fond du Lac, but specialty needs are worth checking against the directory before you assume you have to travel. Seven of the city’s practices list dental implants among their services, and six list pediatric dentistry, both healthy counts for a market this size. If you need an implant consult, start with the Fond du Lac dental implants directory; for a child’s first visit or ongoing care, the Fond du Lac pediatric dentists listing narrows the field to offices that specifically flag kids’ services.
You can browse every rated and unrated office, filter by service, and open individual practice profiles from the Fond du Lac dental directory hub, which is the fastest way to move from this shortlist to an actual phone number.
Looking just beyond city limits
If your preferred Fond du Lac office is booked out, or you commute, a handful of nearby communities extend your options without a long drive. The largest is Oshkosh, about 20 miles north on the far side of Lake Winnebago, with a much deeper directory of its own. Closer in, Waupun to the southwest and Lomira to the south each list local practices worth a look. Smaller Campbellsport and Brownsville round out the ring of towns within easy reach. Each has its own Dental.me hub, so you can compare ratings the same way you would inside Fond du Lac.
How to use these numbers well
Put it together like this. Start with the ranked table and pick two or three offices whose rating, review depth, and location suit you. Cross-check anything specialty-specific against the implants or pediatric listings. Confirm the office has what you need, whether that is evening hours, your insurance, or a particular procedure, before you commit. The Dental.me Score gives you a reliable read on how a practice has treated its patients, but it is a starting point for your shortlist, not a substitute for the conversation that tells you whether an office fits your family. In a city where the rated field averages 4.71 stars and no rated office falls below 4.0, you are choosing among good options rather than avoiding bad ones, which is exactly the position a patient wants to be in.
