Directory data as of August 2026. Google ratings/review counts are third-party data and do not by themselves prove clinical quality.

Dental.me records 288 dental practices in Huntington Beach, and 162 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 close behind 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 category 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 nine of the 16,855 Google reviews recorded across all 162 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 288 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 — 162 carry a public Google rating, and those rated offices account for 16,855 Google reviews between them. The mean of those 162 star ratings is 4.64. Dental.me stores a website URL for 146 of the 288, opening hours for 150, and an address and phone number for all 288 — 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 146 practices and holds none for the other 142. 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 142 the record still carries the address, the phone number and the category listings, plus a Google rating or a set of opening hours wherever those are stored.

How the 162 rated practices are distributed

The stored ratings sit high and close together. 107 of the 162 rated practices carry 4.8 or higher, and 69 of those sit at exactly 5.0. Another 25 fall between 4.5 and 4.79, 18 between 4.0 and 4.49, and 12 below 4.0. When two thirds of a rated field lands in one narrow band at the top of the scale, the star number by itself separates very few of these offices from one another.

How the 162 rated practices score Two of every three sit at 4.8 stars or higher 4.8–5.0 107 4.5–4.79 25 4.0–4.49 18 Under 4.0 12 Bar length is proportional to share of the 162 rated offices.

That distribution has a practical consequence for how you search. Sorting 162 rated practices by stars still leaves more than a hundred names above 4.8. The fields that keep varying after that sort are the review count behind each rating, which category lists 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 category pages list

Each Dental.me category page publishes how many Huntington Beach practices it lists, and that published number is the only specialty count this guide uses. Three of them are at the ceiling: the dental implants, cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening pages each display 50 practices, which is the maximum those pages show, so each of those lists runs to at least 50 names. At the specialist end the counts are exact and much shorter: 25 practices are listed under oral surgery and 27 under endodontics.

Practices listed on each Huntington Beach category page Counts published by the category pages themselves Teeth whitening 50+ Cosmetic dentists 50+ Dental implants 50+ Orthodontists 47 Invisalign dentists 47 Pediatric dentists 36 Emergency dentists 36 Endodontists 27 Oral surgeons 25 50+ marks a page displaying its 50-practice maximum. A category listing does not confirm a practice performs that procedure.

For children and alignment the published counts are exact: 36 practices are listed under pediatric dentistry, 47 under orthodontics and the same 47 under Invisalign. Another 36 appear on the emergency dentists list. Dental.me stores opening hours for 150 of the 288 practices in the city and none for the other 138, 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 categories are populated and nothing further. A longer list means more offices to ring about that category; 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. Ask the office to confirm the procedure before you treat a category listing as settled.

The five practices this page lists

The table above is the directory’s own ranking of five Huntington Beach practices; 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 Huntington Beach Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery a 4.9 across 1,272.

Levi and Miele Dental Partnership stores a 4.9 across 701 reviews and Robert Moretta a 5.0 across 356. Elsewhere in the Huntington Beach directory, The Endo House stores 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.

Four steps the stored data can actually support 1 Start from the category page 2 Read the rating with its sample 3 Note whether a website is on file 4 Call and ask what the data omits

Start from the category 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 146 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 288, 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 153, Costa Mesa 136, Garden Grove 212, 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 288 practices with the rating, review count and category listings recorded for each. If cost is your first question, our national guide to what dental work costs sets out typical ranges to compare an estimate against before you book.
