Hillsboro is a long list to work through. Dental.me records 90 dental practices in the city, and 47 of them carry a Google star rating. The task here is not scanning a short list; it is narrowing 90 entries down to the two or three worth calling about your own procedure, insurance and schedule. This guide does that using only the fields the directory stores.

Those 47 rated practices hold 8,616 Google reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.69. The mean covers the rated 47 only — the 43 practices with no stored rating neither raise nor lower it. High stored ratings are common here, which means the star figure alone will separate very few of these listings from one another.

Which fields are filled, and which are blank

Start with what is actually filled in. Dental.me stores a website URL for 45 of the 90 practices and a Google rating for 47 of them; for the rest, those two fields are empty. An empty field is a gap in this database and records nothing about the practice — not that it lacks a website, not that no one has reviewed it, and not that nothing else can be found out about it. The fields that are filled more widely are the contact ones: an address and a phone number are stored for all 90, opening hours for 39, map coordinates for 59, and at least one named provider for 33. Insurance, prices, appointment openings and new-patient status are stored for none of the 90.

What the 4.69 average is made of

Break the 47 rated practices into bands and the shape is lopsided. Thirty-three sit at 4.8 or higher, and 15 of those at exactly 5.0. Five fall between 4.5 and 4.79, five between 4.0 and 4.49, and four below 4.0. Because more than half the rated field is at 4.8 or above, the median rated practice sits inside that top band, so a 4.6 here is below the local median rather than a low score in absolute terms. Screening at 4.8 and above still leaves 33 practices to choose between.

That is why the star number stops working as a tie-breaker. What still varies at the top of this list is the sample each average rests on: 23 of the 47 rated practices carry at least 100 Google reviews, and the largest stored count in the city is 730. A 5.0 built on nine reviews is a much smaller sample than a 4.9 built on five hundred, so the two averages are measured with very different precision. That is a statement about sample size and nothing more — neither number establishes clinical quality, and neither is a patient count.

The six practices this page lists

These are the six Hillsboro practices named on this page, with the rating and review count stored for each. Fifteen practices in the city hold a stored 5.0, so a perfect average is not by itself a distinguishing fact; read each one alongside the count underneath it:

• Anthony Hoffman — 5.0 across 621 reviews, one of 15 Hillsboro practices holding a stored 5.0, and the largest sample among them on this page.
• Smith Dental — 4.9 from 671 reviews, the largest review count of the six listed here.
• Cornell Dental — 4.9 across 566 reviews.
• Hillsboro Dental Excellence, LLC — 4.9 from 551 reviews.
• Malinda Kearbey — 4.9 across 496 reviews.
• Mark Coussens — 4.9 from 317 reviews.

What those six have in common is measurement, not merit: each average rests on several hundred Google reviews rather than a handful, which pins the figure down more tightly. It is the most the rating data on its own can tell you, and it says nothing about the treatment behind it. You can compare all 90 listings side by side on the Hillsboro dentist directory.

What each Hillsboro category page lists

The category pages vary a great deal in length, and each publishes its own count. Reading them first tells you which offices are listed under the work you need, which is not the same as confirming that any of them performs, schedules or prices the procedure — a listing records an association in this directory and the office confirms the rest. Where a list is long you have more names to ring; where it is short, start ringing earlier.

At the longer end, 22 practices each are listed under teeth whitening in Hillsboro and cosmetic dentists, with 21 under dental implants. For straightening, 14 offices each are listed under orthodontics and Invisalign, and 12 under pediatric dentistry. At the shorter end, 5 endodontists are listed and 3 practices appear on the oral surgery page — short lists, which tells you how many names those pages carry and nothing about how much of that work happens in the city.

A five-step way to work through 90 names

With 90 candidates and 33 of the 47 rated practices sitting at 4.8 or above, the star figure alone will not narrow the list far. Use the fields the directory holds, in this order.

The logic is straightforward: 33 practices already sit at 4.8 or above, so starting there still leaves a wide field. Add a review-count floor to prefer averages measured on larger samples, open the category page for the procedure you actually need, and then call — because whether an office takes your plan, has an appointment, and suits you in person are the three things no stored field on this page records. On cost, Dental.me stores no prices at all, so ask for an itemised estimate and compare it against our national guide to dental costs.

What the neighbouring directories publish

Hillsboro sits in the western arc of the Portland metro, and each surrounding community publishes its own directory count: Aloha lists 23 practices and Beaverton 153 to the east, with Cornelius at 6 and Forest Grove at 18 to the west. North Plains lists 1 and Banks 2 on the rural north edge. When an in-city list runs short — endodontics, for instance, at five — those pages are the next ones to open. Dental.me stores no drive times, so distance is a question for a map.

One habit is worth building where a list runs this long: the nearest office is not automatically the one whose category listings, opening hours and insurance fit your case. The directory records at least one category listing for 87 of the 90 practices and opening hours for 39, while insurance participation is stored for none of them, so that last one always comes from the office. What this page gives you to compare profiles against each other is 47 stored ratings and 90 phone numbers.
