Leominster has 41 dental practices in the Dental.me directory, and 24 of them carry a Google rating. Those 24 have collected 6,165 Google reviews between them, about 257 each on average, but the reviews are not spread evenly: the six most-reviewed practices hold 4,635 of them (75%), and 10 of the 24 rated practices have fewer than 20 reviews. The city-wide average rating is 4.41 stars.
This guide sets out where the Leominster ratings fall, which practices have the most reviews, and what each Leominster specialty page lists. If you want to jump straight to browsing offices, the Leominster dentist hub lists every practice, with the Google rating and review count where one is on file.
The market at a glance
Two of those tiles need a note. First, 24 of the 41 practices carry a Google rating; the other 17 have none on file, and 14 of those 17 also list no website. Those are empty fields in our record, not a verdict on the practice behind them, so treat an unrated office as “unknown,” not “bad,” and call it. Second, 22 practices list a website. The directory records the address and not what the site publishes, so treat it as a place to start rather than a promise of posted hours or insurance detail — all 41 have a phone number on file and 23 have posted hours, so a call can answer what the listing does not.
Where the ratings actually fall
A single 4.41 average hides how the ratings are spread. Break the 24 rated practices into rating bands and most sit at 4.8 or higher, with the rest spread across the three lower bands.
13 of the 24 rated practices — 54% — hold a 4.8 or better, four sit between 4.5 and 4.79, four between 4.0 and 4.49, and three below 4.0. That is not a split into two camps. The four practices at 4.5 to 4.79 hold 2,374 reviews and include three of the city’s five most-reviewed offices: Dental Dreams, LLC (4.5, 902 reviews), Allure Family Dental, Inc. (4.5, 792) and Poornima Gopalakrishnan (4.5, 668). The four practices between 4.0 and 4.49 rest on 61 reviews in all, and the three below 4.0 on 156, 153 of them for one practice. Practices rated below 4.8 hold 42% of the city’s reviews.
The practices with the most reviews
Of those 6,165 reviews, three in four were written about just six offices: together they hold 4,635 (75%). Three of the six are rated 4.9 or 5.0, and three are rated 4.5.
The most-reviewed practice is Howard Markowitz DDS PC, with 1,211 reviews at a 4.9 rating. Next come Dental Dreams, LLC (4.5, 902) and Allure Family Dental, Inc. (4.5, 792), then Michael Cronin (4.9, 705), Poornima Gopalakrishnan (4.5, 668) and Leominster Endodontics, whose 5.0 rests on 357 reviews, the most of the city’s six 5.0 ratings. The other five 5.0s rest on 1 to 119 reviews.
Three more practices hold a 4.9 on more than 250 reviews: Danielle Calagione (331), orthodontic practice Dr. Rowe and Dr. Canary Orthodontists PLLC (328) and Joseph Mallouh D.D.S., PC (284). Every one of these offices is profiled on the Leominster hub with its rating and review count.
Why look at review counts at all? An office with a 4.9 across hundreds of reviews is averaging hundreds of separate ratings, where a 5.0 on two reviews is averaging two. Of Leominster’s 13 ratings at 4.8 or higher, 8 rest on 100 or more reviews and 3 on fewer than 10. A 4.8 cut-off would also drop three of the city’s five most-reviewed practices. Read every rating next to its count, and remember that neither number tells you about clinical quality, price or whether an office is taking new patients.
What each Leominster specialty page lists
Leominster’s specialty pages range from 11 practices to none, so it helps to know the count before you assume a procedure is listed in town.
Cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening have the most listings, 11 practices each, followed by dental implants (9), pediatric dentistry and emergency dental care (7 each), periodontists (6) and endodontists (5). The lists get short after that: orthodontists and Invisalign have 3 each, dentures 2, oral surgeons 1, and no Leominster practice is listed for prosthodontics. An emergency listing does not tell you an office’s hours or whether it can see you that day, so call to confirm how each handles urgent visits.
Allure Family Dental, Inc. and Poornima Gopalakrishnan are each on eight of the 12 lists, more than any other office. Dental Dreams, LLC, the second-largest review record in the city, is on the pediatric list only. The one office on the oral surgery list is James Connors II, with a 5.0 on two Google reviews. A list links a practice with a service, so confirm the procedure with the office.
One way to narrow the list
All six of Leominster’s most-reviewed offices sit at 4.5 or higher, and ten of its rated practices rest on fewer than 20 reviews, so a star rating read on its own tells you less than it seems to. Three moves cover most of the work:
- Compare ratings with their review counts. A 5.0 on two reviews and a 4.5 on 902 rest on very different amounts of feedback. Ten of the 24 rated practices have fewer than 20 reviews.
- Treat 4.8 as a band, not a cut-off. A 4.8 floor would drop three of the five most-reviewed practices in town.
- Match the listing to the job. Check the specialty page for the treatment you need, then confirm with the office that it does that treatment, and ask about hours and insurance.
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, itemized estimate. And if you are curious why one office outranks another on Dental.me, how we rank practices explains the method.
If Leominster does not have what you need
Nearby towns have their own Dental.me listings: Fitchburg (47 practices), Lunenburg (9), Sterling (4), South Lancaster (3), Shirley (2) and Westminster (1). Only Fitchburg holds more practices than Leominster, and its lists do not fill every gap: its prosthodontist list is empty too, and its oral surgeon list holds one office. Browse the full Leominster list on the Leominster dentist hub, which shows the Google rating and review count for each rated practice.
