Dental.me records 295 dental practices in Huntington Beach, and 172 of them carry a Google star rating. The largest Google review count stored for any of them is 1,844, at California Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center; Huntington Beach Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is next at 1,272. Those are the largest Google samples in the city’s record. They record how many Google reviews each listing has, not how the offices behind them treat patients.

This guide uses only what the directory stores and what its Huntington Beach directory page publishes: the practice count, Google star ratings, Google review counts, the address and phone number held for every practice, whether a website and a set of opening hours are on file, and how many practices each service page lists. Prices, insurance networks, wait times, appointment availability and treatment outcomes are not recorded here, so this page treats every one of them as a question to put to the office rather than a fact to assert.

The size of that leading review count is worth a moment. 1,844 reviews is roughly one in ten of the 19,179 Google reviews recorded across all 172 rated Huntington Beach practices. A sample that large pins a star average down far more tightly than a rating built on twenty or thirty reviews. That is a statement about measurement precision and nothing else: a bigger sample does not make one practice better than another, and Google reviewers are not a verified patient list.

The Huntington Beach record in one look

Of the 295 practices Dental.me groups under Huntington Beach, CA — grouped by the city and state stored on each record, not by a municipal boundary this directory does not hold — 172 carry a public Google rating, and those rated offices account for 19,179 Google reviews between them, about 112 per rated practice; 53 of the 172 carry 100 or more. The mean of those 172 star ratings is 4.64. Dental.me stores a website URL for 155 of the 295 (137 of the rated practices and 18 of the unrated ones), opening hours for 160, and an address and phone number for all 295 — so a phone number is the one field on file for every practice on the list, and whether a given one still reaches the office is something the call settles.

Read the website field precisely, because it is easy to over-read. Dental.me holds a URL for 155 practices and holds none for the other 140. The directory records no reason for either, and a blank field is a gap in this database — not evidence that a practice has no website, no online presence and nothing you could find out about it. What the gap does change is where you start: for those 140 the record still carries the address, the phone number and the service listings, plus a Google rating or a set of opening hours wherever those are stored.

How the 172 rated practices are distributed

The stored ratings sit high and close together. 113 of the 172 rated practices (66%) carry 4.8 or higher, and 70 of those sit at exactly 5.0. Another 28 (16%) fall between 4.5 and 4.79, 18 (10%) between 4.0 and 4.49, and 13 (8%) below 4.0. When about two in three rated practices land in one narrow band at the top of the scale, the star number by itself separates very few of these offices from one another.

Some of those top-band ratings rest on very little. Of the 70 Huntington Beach listings holding a stored 5.0, 33 rest on ten or fewer reviews, and 3 other ratings of 4.8 or higher rest on so few. At the other end, 8 of the 13 ratings below 4.0, and 4 of the 18 between 4.0 and 4.49, rest on ten or fewer reviews. A handful of new reviews can move any of those a long way, so a low rating on three reviews is thin evidence against an office, just as a 5.0 on three is thin evidence for one. Dental.me does not store review dates, so check on Google how recent the reviews are.

That distribution has a practical consequence for how you search. Sorting 172 rated practices by stars still leaves more than a hundred names at 4.8 or above. The fields that keep varying after that sort are the review count behind each rating, which service pages a practice appears on, and whether the directory holds a website for it. Everything past those — who suits your case, what it will cost, when you could be seen — is not in this data and has to come from the office.

What the service pages list

Each Dental.me service page publishes how many Huntington Beach practice profiles it covers, and that published number is the only service count this guide uses. The three longest are teeth whitening (79 practices), cosmetic dentistry (77) and dental implants (67); each page shows up to 50 profiles at a time, but the count it publishes is the full list. The specialist lists are shorter: 27 practices are listed under oral surgery and 30 under endodontics.

For children and alignment the published counts are 37 practices under pediatric dentistry and 49 under orthodontics, the same 49 the Invisalign page lists. Periodontics lists 46, dentures 17 and prosthodontics 2. Another 40 appear on the emergency dentists list. Dental.me stores opening hours for 160 of the 295 practices in the city and none for the other 135, and it stores no same-day capacity and no current availability for any of them — so that list is a set of numbers to call, and the answer about tonight comes from the office.

Those counts describe how the directory’s service pages are populated and nothing further. A longer list means more offices to ring about that service; a shorter one means fewer. None of the numbers measures how often a practice performs a procedure, how experienced its dentists are, what it charges, or whether it is taking new patients this week, and a listing is not a board certification. Ask the office to confirm the procedure before you treat a listing as settled.

The five practices this page lists

The table above is the directory’s own ranking of five Huntington Beach practices by Dental.me Score; here is what the record holds for each. California Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center stores a 5.0 rating across 1,844 Google reviews, the largest review count recorded for any practice in the city. Smiles Cafe Dentistry stores a 5.0 across 1,256, and Beach City Dental – Huntington Beach a 5.0 across 576.

Huntington Beach Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery stores a 4.9 across 1,272 reviews and Levi and Miele Dental Partnership a 4.9 across 701. Elsewhere in the Huntington Beach directory, Robert Moretta stores a 5.0 across 356 and The Endo House a 5.0 across 326. Read each pair together rather than separately: the star figure is a third-party average and the review count is the sample it rests on. Neither field records what treatment any of these offices provides, so the shortlist still ends in a phone call.

A method for choosing here

Because the stored ratings cluster so tightly at the top, a sequence of questions works better than a sort.

Start from the service page for the procedure you actually need — an implant, a crown, a child’s check-up and a clear-aligner course each sit on a different Huntington Beach list. Read every star rating together with the review count under it, since 1,844 reviews and 40 reviews are very different samples even when both average 5.0. Note whether the practice is one of the 155 with a website on file, then call: insurance, who would treat you, whether the office takes new patients and what the procedure costs are stored for none of the 295, and a stored set of opening hours is a record of usual opening times rather than of this week’s appointments.

Cost deserves its own call. Dental.me stores no prices and no plan participation for any Huntington Beach practice, so no figure on this page is a quote and none should be read as one. Ask for an itemised treatment plan in writing, and get two or three of them for anything elective. Two offices holding the same 5.0 Google average can quote very different figures for the same implant or aligner course, because the rating measures reviews and says nothing about price.

The city line is not the edge of your options, and each neighbouring directory publishes its own count: Fountain Valley lists 115 practices, Westminster 155, Costa Mesa 136, Garden Grove 218, Midway City 7 and Seal Beach 25. If a Huntington Beach list is short for what you need, those are the next pages to open. Dental.me stores no travel times, so how far any of them is from you is a question for a map.

When you are ready, the full Huntington Beach directory lists all 295 practices with the rating, review count and service listings recorded for each. 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.

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.
