To find a dentist in Marion, Iowa, start with the 18 dental practices Dental.me lists there. Fourteen carry a Google rating, and those 14 average 4.61 stars as a plain mean, each rated office counted once, and 4.90 weighted by reviews, across 2,585 reviews. Of the other four listings, one is matched to a Google profile showing no reviews and three have no Google match.
How Marion’s dentists rate at a glance
Ten of the 18 rows come from the national provider registry (NPPES) and eight from a Google business search. A registry listing gives a provider’s name and the address filed with the registry, and it does not show that patients are seen there. Dental.me holds a phone number for all 18, which come to 15 distinct phones, and posted hours for 11.
Dental.me holds no review text, no review dates, no appointment-availability data and no insurance data, so it cannot say how recent a rating is or what reviewers wrote; the dates are on each office’s Google profile.
The median rating is 4.9 and the median review count 95. Five of the 14 rated offices hold a 5.0, and three of those rest on three reviews or fewer. A Google rating does not measure clinical quality. The Marion dentist hub lists all 18 rows, rated or not.
Four listings carry no Google rating: MILLER DENTAL, matched to a Google profile with no reviews, and Peter Nopoulos, INDIAN CREEK DENTAL and Bradley Wagoner, with no Google match. Dental.me does not record why a listing has no rating, so an unrated listing tells you nothing either way about the office.
The top-rated dental practices in Marion
Every office in the table holds a 4.9 on Google. The table lists the six with the most reviews, which are also the first six by Dental.me Score: Charles Scholl (813), Cottage Grove Dental Care (392), Marion Dental PC (380), ED Dye Family Dentistry, PC (291), Indian Creek Dental: James Walker, DDS (264) and Uptown Dental (202). Each name links to its Dental.me profile. A count is a sample size, not a measure of care.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charles Scholl | 4.9 | 813 | View profile |
| Cottage Grove Dental Care | 4.9 | 392 | View profile |
| Marion Dental PC | 4.9 | 380 | View profile |
| ED Dye Family Dentistry, PC | 4.9 | 291 | View profile |
| Indian Creek Dental: James Walker, DDS | 4.9 | 264 | View profile |
| Uptown Dental | 4.9 | 202 | View profile |
The six largest records hold 2,342 of the 2,585 reviews (91%); the other eight rated offices hold 243. Charles Scholl’s 813 is more than twice the next record, Cottage Grove Dental Care’s 392.
Rating bands in Marion
Of the 14 rated offices, 12 sit at 4.8 or above and hold all but seven of the 2,585 reviews. None sits between 4.5 and 4.79. Wolken Dental (4.3 on six) sits between 4.0 and 4.49 and Dr. Richard Wolken (1.0 on one) below 4.0, and the two rows give one address and one phone. The median, 4.9, sits above the 4.61 mean because the 1.0 on one review pulls the mean down.
Two cutoffs cost different things here. A cutoff at 4.8 keeps 12 offices and removes seven reviews, the two Wolken rows. A cutoff at 100 reviews keeps seven offices and removes 110 reviews (4%), but it drops the other seven, among them IOWA KIDS PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY, INC (5.0 on 57), eighth by Score and the one row on the pediatric dentist list with fewer than 100 reviews, and Matthew J. Sieverding, DDS (5.0 on 41), ninth. Neither cutoff measures care, and Dental.me holds no review dates, so it cannot say how recent any rating is. How the Dental.me Score is built.
Websites on file in Marion
Fourteen of the 18 listings have a website URL on file: 13 rated offices and the unrated MILLER DENTAL. Edward Lenz (5.0 on three) is the one rated office with none. No URL on file means only that Dental.me does not hold one, and Dental.me did not open the sites it holds, so a URL on file says nothing about hours, booking, services or insurance. Ask the office.
Shared addresses and phones among Marion dentists
Read the address and the phone. The 18 listings give 15 phone numbers. Three rows give 675 S 11th St and hold one URL, cottagegrovedentalcare.com, on three phones: Cottage Grove Dental Care (4.9 on 392), Matthew J. Sieverding, DDS (5.0 on 41) and the unrated MILLER DENTAL. Cedar Valley Family Dentistry (4.9 on 133) and Dr. Karen Wilson (5.0 on one) give 1145 Linden Dr and one phone, (319) 378-8833, and the Cedar Valley row’s URL is karenwilsondental.com. Wolken Dental (4.3 on six) and Dr. Richard Wolken (1.0 on one) give 159 Marion Blvd and (319) 377-4225.
Marion Dental PC (4.9 on 380) shares (319) 377-4867 with Bradley Wagoner, a row with no Google match at 955 31st St. Indian Creek Dental: James Walker, DDS (4.9 on 264) and INDIAN CREEK DENTAL, a row with no Google match, both give 601 Tama St, on different phones.
Nobody has confirmed how these listings relate, and one street address can hold separate offices, so call before you count them as separate choices. Nobody has confirmed how a listing relates to its URL, so ask the office who would treat you.
Service lists in Marion
Dental.me sorts Marion practices onto 12 service lists, from what each office lists. Teeth whitening and cosmetic dentists hold the same six rows, dental implants five, pediatric dentists and emergency dentists four each, and periodontists, dentures, orthodontists and Invisalign two each; the orthodontist and Invisalign lists hold the same two rows, Charles Scholl and Cottage Grove Dental Care. The endodontist list holds one row, Cottage Grove Dental Care, and the oral surgeon and prosthodontist lists are 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.
The lists: cosmetic dentists, implant dentists and teeth whitening. Eight rated offices, with 477 reviews (18%), are on no list, among them ED Dye Family Dentistry, PC, fourth by Score, and Cedar Valley Family Dentistry, seventh, so read the city directory as well as the list for your service. Dental.me holds no availability data, so ask each office how soon it can see a new patient.
Directories near Marion
Neighbouring directories list their own offices: Iowa City (145 practices, 31 rated), Cedar Rapids (116, 58 rated), Hiawatha (11, 8 rated), Mount Vernon (6, none rated), Anamosa (3, 2 rated), Solon (3, 2 rated), Center Point (2, 1 rated) and Central City (2, 1 rated). Dental.me has no practices on file under Robins, Alburnett, Springville, Lisbon, Ely, Fairfax or Palo. A practice sits in the directory of the town on its record, which says nothing about its distance from your address, and Dental.me holds no drive-time data.
Marion’s oral surgeon and prosthodontist lists are empty. Cedar Rapids’ oral surgeon list holds four rows and its prosthodontist list one, Hiawatha’s oral surgeon list holds two, and Iowa City’s oral surgeon list holds 22 rows and its prosthodontist list 14. 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.
Making sense of Marion’s 2,585 reviews
Spread evenly, 2,585 reviews would be about 185 per rated office, but the median count is 95 and the counts run from 813 down to one. The weighted average, 4.90, sits above the 4.61 plain mean because the largest records all hold a 4.9. The four unrated listings carry no rating and no review count.
Five Marion offices hold a 5.0, on 57, 41, three, one and one reviews: Iowa Kids Pediatric Dentistry, Inc (57), Matthew J. Sieverding, DDS (41), Edward Lenz (three), and Dr. Karen Wilson and Ian Shaw (one each). In the plain mean a 5.0 on one review counts as much as Charles Scholl’s 4.9 on 813. A count is a sample size, not a measure of care.
How to choose a dentist in Marion
Start from the service you need and read every row on that list, rated or not. Read each count as a sample size, read the address and the phone, then call and ask. The Charles Scholl profile holds the largest record, and the Marion directory holds all 18 rows.
Dental.me holds no availability, new-patient or insurance data, and posted hours for 11 of the 18 rows, so ask each office whether it takes new patients, whether it is in your plan’s network, how soon it can see you, who would treat you, and what a first exam, X-rays and cleaning will cost. 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.
The star figure on this page is each practice’s Google rating, which Dental.me does not set. The Dental.me Score 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, so it rests on the same Google data and does not measure clinical quality. A paid Featured placement does not change a practice’s Score, but it does change what you see first: the Marion directory lists all 18 over two pages, with no sort control, and opens with four cards marked Featured, out of Score order: Ian Shaw (13th by Score), Dr. Karen Wilson (12th), Wolken Dental (10th) and Matthew J. Sieverding, DDS (9th). After those it follows the Score.
