Finding a dentist in Jonesboro, Georgia starts with the numbers: the city has 37 dental practices in the Dental.me directory, 17 of them carry a Google rating, and those rated offices average 4.61 stars. Start with the practices listed below, then confirm the details you care about directly with the office.
The Jonesboro dental market at a glance
Jonesboro is the seat of Clayton County, just south of Atlanta along the US-19/41 corridor. The directory lists 37 practices in Jonesboro. Of those, 17 carry a Google rating, a little under half, so those are the offices you can compare on rating directly. The other 20 are listed without a rating; Dental.me does not record why, so a missing rating is a gap in the Google review record, not a judgment about the office.
The 17 rated Jonesboro practices average 4.61 stars across 2,374 Google reviews, and those reviews are concentrated: the three largest counts hold 1,801 of them (76%), and the median rated office has 19. A glowing rating built on three reviews behaves very differently from a 4.7 built on five hundred. The sections below break the market apart by rating band, by review count, by website coverage and by the specialty lists, so you can narrow from 37 names down to a short list that fits what you need.
Top-rated dental practices in Jonesboro
The table lists the six Jonesboro practices rated 4.7 or higher on more than five reviews, ordered by rating and then by review count. It leaves out six practices with a perfect 5.0 on five or fewer reviews each, and it is not a list of the most-reviewed offices: Sylvester Malcom holds the most reviews in the city (4.5, 692). Sanford Gruskin has the highest rating in the table at 4.9. Click any practice name to open its full Dental.me profile.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sanford Gruskin | 4.9 | 200 | View profile |
| Benjamin A Taylor Sr DDS | 4.8 | 16 | View profile |
| Arena Dental Group | 4.7 | 568 | View profile |
| Homegrown Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics | 4.7 | 541 | View profile |
| Shannon Skiba | 4.7 | 108 | View profile |
| QG Dental | 4.7 | 27 | View profile |
Two things are worth reading off this list before you pick up the phone. First, the top of the rating column and the top of the review column are different practices: Sanford Gruskin leads the table at 4.9 on 200 reviews, while Arena Dental Group (568) and Homegrown Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics (541) each hold a 4.7 on more than five hundred, a far larger sample. Second, a 4.8 backed by 16 reviews and a 4.7 backed by 568 are not the same kind of evidence, so weigh the count alongside the rating. The chart below shows how the six review counts compare.
How ratings break down across Jonesboro
Averages hide the shape of a market, so it helps to see where the 17 rated practices fall. Eight of them are at 4.8 or higher, the largest band, but six of those eight are 5.0s on five or fewer reviews each; only Sanford Gruskin (4.9, 200) and Benjamin A Taylor Sr DDS (4.8, 16) reach the band on more. Five more sit between 4.5 and 4.79, one falls between 4.0 and 4.49, and three are under 4.0: A.Y. Dental Health (3.9, 140), Smile With Confident (3.3, 46) and Evaristus Okogie (3.8, 19). Thirteen of the 17 rated offices (76%) are at 4.5 or higher.
The practical takeaway: in Jonesboro a 4.8 or 5.0 often rests on a handful of reviews, so the rating alone does not separate offices well. Compare the review count behind each rating, then ask the office about the things a star score cannot capture — whether they take your insurance, how soon they can see you, and how they handle the specific procedure you need. Dental.me holds no availability data (posted hours appear on 12 of the 37 profiles).
Website coverage and how to reach a Jonesboro office
One detail that shapes how you research is how many Jonesboro practices have a website URL on file: 10 of the 37. The split is lopsided: 8 of the 17 rated practices have one, against 2 of the 20 unrated. For most offices your first contact will likely be a phone call, so check the Dental.me profile for the current phone number and address before you drive over.
When no website URL is on file, that is a record of what the directory holds, not a verdict on the office. Use the profile page as your starting point: it brings the rating, the review count, the address and the contact details together in one place.
Pediatric and specialty dentistry in Jonesboro
If you are searching for a child’s dentist, the Jonesboro pediatric list has five entries, and two of them are separate listings for Homegrown Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics; the rated one is the third most-reviewed office in the city (4.7, 541). The other three are Dentistry for Children of Jonesboro (5.0 on one review), Evaristus Okogie (3.8, 19) and one unrated practice.
You can browse the list on the Jonesboro pediatric dentists page. Jonesboro’s other specialty lists are small and overlap: the cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening lists are the same four practices; the orthodontist and Invisalign lists are the same three (Arena Dental Group, Homegrown Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics and Sanford Gruskin); the dental implant list has four; the oral surgeon, periodontist, endodontist and denture lists have three each; and the emergency and prosthodontist lists have two each. Cross-check any specialty list against the rating and review count before you commit to a first visit.
Using the Dental.me Score to choose
Every rated practice on the Jonesboro dental directory carries a Dental.me Score. It starts from the Google star rating, holds it back until there are enough reviews to support it, and adds up to a 3-point lift when an office has confirmed its details, so a 4.7 on 568 reviews ranks above a 4.8 on 16. By Score, Jonesboro’s top three are Sanford Gruskin, Arena Dental Group and Homegrown Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics.
The Score is earned from that Google review data — it is never something a practice can purchase. The only element that can be paid for anywhere in the directory is Featured placement. The Jonesboro directory opens with four listings marked Featured, shown out of Score order; after those it follows the Score. A Featured placement does not change a practice’s rating or Score. So when you compare Jonesboro offices, use the Score as a summary of the rating and the review count behind it, then confirm the practical details — insurance, hours, the specific procedure — with the office directly before booking.
