Dental.me tracks 66 dental practices in Jackson, and 33 of them, exactly half, have a website on file. The split follows the ratings closely: 32 of the 35 offices with a Google rating have a website on file, against 1 of the 31 without a rating. All 66 have a phone number on file, and posted hours are stored for 33. This guide sets out the ratings, review counts and service lists, and how to narrow them to a short list.

Here is the shape of the whole market on one screen.

Of those 66 practices, 35 have a Google rating on file, with 6,363 reviews between them. That is an average of about 182 per rated office, but a few large records pull the average up: half of the rated offices hold 54 reviews or fewer, and the six largest records hold 3,861 of the 6,363 (61%). The 35 average 4.55 stars. The bands below show how those ratings spread.

Eighteen of Jackson’s 35 rated practices, just over half, sit at 4.8 stars or higher; 7 are in the 4.5 to 4.79 band, 5 in the 4.0 to 4.49 band and 5 below 4.0. Not all of the 4.8+ group rests on much feedback: four of the 18 hold 14 reviews or fewer, and three of the six offices rated 5.0 hold 10 or fewer. The 31 practices without a rating are simply unrated; Dental.me does not record why.

The five offices below 4.0 are Emily Kaiser (3.9 on 68), Fatima Shukr (3.8 on 389), Geoffrey Reeves (3.8 on 28), Natalie McGraw (3.1 on 7) and Center for Family Health – Dental (2.9 on 62). Together they hold 554 reviews, and Fatima Shukr’s 389 is the fifth-largest record in Jackson. A rating says how reviewers scored an office, not why, so read the reviews themselves before you rule an office in or out.

The six Dental.me Score leaders in Jackson

The six offices below lead Jackson by Dental.me Score, which 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. Two are rated 5.0 and four 4.9, each on 195 reviews or more. They are not the only 5.0s: four other Jackson offices show 5.0, on 53, 10, 5 and 2 reviews, and they sit 11th, 21st, 22nd and 27th by Score.

• Summit Pointe Dental – Jackson — a perfect 5.0 across 312 reviews, the most-reviewed five-star office in town.
• Elizabeth Garcia — 4.9 stars over 418 reviews, the single largest review base on this list.
• Hesham Elewa — 4.9 stars across 307 reviews.
• Northwest Dental Excellence — a 5.0 rating over 199 reviews; it is on no Dental.me service list.
• Jackson Implants & Periodontics — 4.9 stars across 204 reviews; it is on both the dental implant and periodontist lists.
• Constance E. Smith DDS, PC — 4.9 stars over 195 reviews.

You can see all 66 on the Jackson dentist hub. The three largest review records in Jackson are not in this six. The Dental Experience (4.8 on 1,407) holds 22% of all the city’s reviews and sits 8th by Score; Pura Vida Smiles (4.1 on 907) is second by count and 29th by Score; and Cynthia Rider (4.6 on 428) is third by count and 16th by Score. Elizabeth Garcia’s 418 is the fourth-largest.

Two of the six, Summit Pointe Dental – Jackson and Northwest Dental Excellence, show 5.0, and the other four show 4.9. A rating on a few reviews can move a long way with the next one, while a rating on hundreds moves little, so read the star and the review count as a pair, never the star alone.

Match the practice to what your mouth actually needs

Dental.me sorts Jackson practices onto 12 service lists, from what each office lists. Here is how long each list is.

The longest list in Jackson is dental implants, with 14 practices; Jackson Implants & Periodontics is on it and on the periodontist list, which holds 7. The cosmetic dentist list and the teeth whitening list hold the same 13 offices. Seven are on the emergency dentist list and 6 on the pediatric dentist list, and the orthodontist list holds the same 6 offices as the Invisalign list. Four are on the endodontist list, three on the oral surgeon list and one, Pura Vida Smiles, on the dentures list; the prosthodontist list is empty. 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.

A four-check routine

Half of the Jackson offices have no website on file, so some of the checking happens by phone. These four checks cover the ground.

Check the rating and the volume together. A 4.9 over 400 reviews (like Elizabeth Garcia) is a different promise than a 4.9 over 15. Confirm the specialty is actually on staff — don’t assume a general office places implants. Ask about emergency access and real hours before you’re in pain, since seven Jackson practices are on the emergency list and posted hours are stored for 33 of the 66. And check the cost and insurance fit up front, with the estimate in writing; our national guide to dental costs publishes no prices, but it lists what a quote depends on. Curious how we score these practices in the first place? Our ranking methodology lays it out.

With 33 of the 66 offices showing no website on file, hours, insurance networks and services for those offices have to be checked by phone; all 66 have a phone number on file. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you. Don’t treat a missing website as disqualifying; Dental.me does not record why one is missing.

The bottom line for Jackson

Read the rating and the review count together, check the service list and ask the office whether it does your procedure, and confirm hours and insurance by phone where no website is on file.
