Of the 295 practices Dental.me lists in Fremont, 170 have a Google rating stored, and the stored ratings average 4.57 stars. The other 125 practices have no stored rating. Dental.me does not record why a rating is missing, so an absent rating says nothing about the quality of care in either direction; it only means there is less to compare before you call.

Review counts here are modest. The 170 rated offices account for 10,922 Google reviews — about 64 per rated practice on average, and only 34 of the 170 carry 100 or more. A rating resting on a few dozen reviews can move with a handful of new ones, so a five-star office with 40 reviews and a five-star office with 400 are different amounts of evidence. A website is on file for 139 of the 295 practices (47%): 132 of the 170 rated practices, but only 7 of the 125 unrated ones. A missing website in our records does not mean the office has none.

What the ratings say, and what they don’t

An average of 4.57 hides a spread. Of the 170 rated practices, 105 (62%) hold 4.8 or higher. Below that, 18 (11%) sit between 4.5 and 4.79 and 25 (15%) between 4.0 and 4.49, and 22 (13%) sit below 4.0 — 47 practices under 4.5 in all. The average sits below most of the rated group because of those lower ratings, not because the typical rated office scores 4.57.

Many of those lower ratings rest on very little. 14 of the 22 ratings below 4.0, and 10 of the 25 between 4.0 and 4.49, rest on ten or fewer reviews. So read a low rating the same way as a high one: together with the number of reviews behind it, and with what those reviewers actually wrote.

How to weigh a rating that rests on few reviews

Thin ratings sit at the top of the scale too. Of the 59 Fremont listings holding a stored 5.0, 39 rest on ten or fewer reviews, while only 1 other rating of 4.8 or higher rests on so few. A perfect score on a handful of reviews is a small amount of evidence. It is not a reason to rule an office out — a newer practice may simply have fewer reviews — but it does mean the content of those reviews tells you more than the number attached to them.

When you read them, look for specifics: reviews that name the dentist, describe the treatment and explain what went well or badly are more useful than one-line ratings. Dental.me does not store review dates, so check on Google how recent the reviews are. A website on file makes it easier to confirm who the treating dentists are and which services an office lists before you call, but it is not a measure of quality.

Where the review volume sits

The five most-reviewed offices together hold 2,618 of Fremont’s 10,922 Google reviews (24%): Munira Lokhandwala, DDS, PC (4.9 stars, 897 reviews), Pearl Orthodontics Fremont (4.9, 621), Donald Lane (4.9, 406), Fremont Pediatric Dental (5.0, 366) and Fremont Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (4.9, 328). The same five hold the five highest Dental.me Scores; Donald Lane and Fremont Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery share the fourth Score and are ordered by review count.

Seven Fremont offices hold a stored 5.0 on 100 or more reviews: Fremont Pediatric Dental, Creative Dentists, Inc (254), Theodore R. Okazaki DDS, Inc (253), Kenneth Louie (157), Apollo Dental (146), Ryan W. Jergensen DDS (141) and Smile Matters – Preet Sahota DDS (120). A rating and review count are a record of what Google reviewers posted, not a measure of clinical quality or of how busy an office is; they are a reasonable way to narrow a list. For how rating and review depth combine into one Score, see how Dental.me ranks practices, and every rated office is ordered on the Fremont dentist directory.

What Fremont’s service pages list

Dental.me groups each city’s practices into service pages. A listing on a service page means the practice’s profile is associated with that service; it is not a board certification, and it does not tell you how much of that work an office does. In Fremont the longest pages are teeth whitening (51 practices), cosmetic dentistry (49) and dental implants (45), followed by pediatric dentistry (32). The orthodontics and Invisalign pages each list 29, and periodontics 25.

The emergency page lists 21 practices, oral surgery 14, endodontics (root canals) 11, dentures 9 and prosthodontics 3. These counts are practice profiles, not a headcount of specialists. Dental.me does not hold appointment availability, after-hours coverage or insurance participation, so call to confirm that an office performs the specific procedure you need, is taking new patients and works with your plan. To browse by service, start from the Fremont dental implant page, the cosmetic dentistry page, the orthodontics and Invisalign pages, pediatric dentistry, or the emergency dental care page; for an urgent problem, save an emergency-listed office’s number and confirm its hours before you need it.

A way to narrow the list

With a long list and many ratings resting on few reviews, it helps to work in layers.

Start with the service page that matches what you need. Then weigh each rating by its review count, and read a sample of the reviews for the things you care about — a rating cannot tell you how an office will handle your particular case. Confirm insurance participation and whether the office is taking new patients before you book. Before committing to a crown, an implant or braces, a routine cleaning is a low-stakes way to see how an office explains its findings and its fees.

Just outside Fremont

If you live near the edge of the city, a neighbouring list may be closer to home. Newark (49 practices) and Union City (65) border Fremont, and Milpitas (158) is just south in Santa Clara County. Hayward (112) and Dublin (87) are further north. Across the Dumbarton Bridge, the East Palo Alto page lists only a handful of practices, so check it alongside Fremont’s rather than instead of it. For the shorter service pages, such as oral surgery, endodontics and dentures, widening the search to a neighbouring city gives you more profiles to compare.

Costs, insurance and how the Score works

A rating says nothing about price, and Dental.me does not hold fee schedules for Fremont offices, so ask for a written treatment estimate before major work and confirm the office is in-network for your plan. Dental.me does not publish prices, and our national guide to dental costs gives no price ranges either; it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials), so ask each office for a written, itemised estimate. The Dental.me Score combines a practice’s stored Google rating with the number of reviews behind it; the full methodology is in how we rank. When you are ready, the full Fremont directory lists every office — start there and shortlist three that fit your needs, your plan and your commute.

Dental.me organizes dental directory data so patients can compare offices with confidence. Use each practice profile and its available website, map, and phone details for current appointment, payment, and care decisions.
