Howell, Michigan has a mid-sized dental directory: Dental.me lists 29 practices in the city, 20 of them carry a Google rating, and those 20 ratings average 4.75 out of five. Start with the names that pair a high rating with a deep review count, then call to confirm your insurance and how soon the office can see you.
This guide reads the Howell directory one figure at a time: Google ratings and review counts, the websites, phone numbers and posted hours on file, and the Dental.me service lists each office appears on. Of the 29 practices on file for the city, 20 carry a Google rating, built on 4,121 published reviews. None of those figures measures clinical quality.
What Howell’s dental numbers actually say
Of the 29 practices Dental.me lists in Howell, 20 carry a Google rating, and those 20 ratings average 4.75 out of five; the average is a plain mean, each office counted once. Fifteen of the rated offices sit at 4.8 or higher, two land in the 4.5-to-4.79 range, two fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and one rates below 4.0. The other nine listings have no Google rating on file, and Dental.me does not record why; an unrated listing is not a warning sign, it simply has no public rating to read.
Seventeen of the 20 rated offices sit at 4.5 or higher, and half of them, ten of the 20, hold 100 reviews or more. Two of the 15 top-band offices rest on fewer than 15 reviews: Howell Orthodontics (5.0 on 13) and one office rated 5.0 on a single review. A rating band is not a measure of clinical quality, so read the review count beside each rating before you treat two offices as equal.
The Dental.me Score that orders the table below is built mainly from a practice’s Google rating and the depth of reviews behind it, with a small lift for an office that verifies its listing. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order. With 15 Howell offices at 4.8 or higher, the ratings alone separate few of them, so the review count and the service lists are the more useful tiebreakers.
The top-rated dental practices in Howell
The table below lists the six Howell practices with the highest Dental.me Score, ordered by Google rating and then by the number of reviews behind it. Shant Bedikian holds a 5.0 on 594 reviews; four offices follow at 4.9; and Howell Dental Care Center PLLC, at 4.8, holds 1,151 reviews, the largest record in the city. The second-largest record, West Highland Dental Care (4.8 on 613), ranks #7 by Dental.me Score, so it is not in the table, and it is on no Dental.me service list.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shant Bedikian | 5.0 | 594 | View profile |
| Steven Stilianos DDS PC | 4.9 | 419 | View profile |
| Michigan Dental Studio | 4.9 | 298 | View profile |
| David Betcher | 4.9 | 211 | View profile |
| All American Smiles Dental Grp | 4.9 | 171 | View profile |
| Howell Dental Care Center PLLC | 4.8 | 1,151 | View profile |
Read the table as two columns. The rating is the Google average; the review count shows how many people left one. A 4.9 on 419 reviews at Steven Stilianos DDS PC rests on a broader base than a 4.9 on 171, though both are high scores. Three of the table six, Steven Stilianos DDS PC, David Betcher and All American Smiles Dental Grp, are on no Dental.me service list, so ask them whether they do your procedure.
Reviews and websites: how deep the record runs
Across Howell’s 20 rated practices, offices hold 4,121 Google reviews. The six largest records are Howell Dental Care Center PLLC (4.8 on 1,151), West Highland Dental Care (4.8 on 613), Shant Bedikian (5.0 on 594), Steven Stilianos DDS PC (4.9 on 419), Michigan Dental Studio (4.9 on 298) and David Betcher (4.9 on 211); together they hold 3,286 of the 4,121 reviews (80%), and Howell Dental Care Center alone holds 28%. The chart below plots those six.
A larger record means a single new review moves the average less, but a review count is not a measure of quality, and Dental.me does not record how long an office has been open. When you are weighing a 4.9 against a 4.8, check how many reviews stand behind each number before you let a single decimal decide.
A practical first step is whether an office has a website URL on file. Nineteen of Howell’s 29 listed practices do, roughly two in three, and all 19 are rated. Dental.me also holds a phone number for 28 of the 29 listings and posted hours for 19. For the ten with no website on file, a phone call is the quickest way to ask what they offer; a missing URL says nothing about the care inside. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
Specialty care available in Howell
Howell’s Dental.me service lists, longest first: teeth whitening 8, cosmetic dentists 8, dental implants 6, pediatric dentists 5, orthodontists 4, Invisalign 4, periodontists 4, dentures 3, emergency dentists 2, endodontists 1. The oral surgeons and prosthodontists lists hold no Howell office. Howell Dental Care Center PLLC is on nine of the 12 lists and Jacob Thayer DDS PLLC on eight. A place on a list shows what an office lists, not how often it does that work, so ask whether the office does your procedure itself.
Use the service lists to shortlist by need before you compare ratings. Two Howell listings carry orthodontics in their name, TNT Orthodontics – Invisalign & Braces (5.0 on 100) and Howell Orthodontics (5.0 on 13); both are on the orthodontists and Invisalign lists, so compare them with each other rather than with a family practice on stars alone.
Nearby directories
If no Howell office fits, the directory also lists Brighton (72 practices, 38 rated), Hartland (23 practices, 11 rated), Fowlerville (6 practices, 3 rated), Pinckney (6 practices, 4 rated), Hamburg (2 practices, 1 rated). Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live. Each hub ranks its own practices by the same Dental.me Score.
How to narrow the list
Turn the numbers into a shortlist in four steps. First, use the service lists to find the offices that list the care you need. Second, from that shortlist, favor the practices that pair a high rating with a deep review count, since the two together show both the score and how many ratings produced it. Third, call to confirm what Dental.me does not hold: whether the office is in your insurance network, whether it is taking new patients, and how soon it can see you. Fourth, book a first appointment and judge what only a visit shows, such as whether the dentist explains your options clearly.
With 15 Howell offices rated at 4.8 or higher, weight your own priorities. A parent will read the five-office pediatric dentists list differently than someone comparing the six offices on the dental implants list, and both are right to. Start from the Howell dentist directory to see every practice with its current Score, then work down your own shortlist. The data narrows the field; the first visit makes the decision.
