Finding a good dentist in Marquette, Michigan starts with the numbers: the city has 36 dental practices, 21 of them scored by Dental.me at a 4.57 average rating across 2,695 published reviews. Sort by rating, weigh review volume, then confirm the practice fits your needs before you book an appointment today.
Marquette is the largest city in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, sitting on the shore of Lake Superior and anchored by Northern Michigan University and UP Health System. For a community of its size, 36 listed dental practices is a genuinely deep bench, and the Marquette dental directory lets you compare all of them side by side rather than guessing from a phone book. This guide walks through what the ratings actually mean, which practices score highest, and how to read the review counts before you commit to a chair.
What the Dental.me Score measures in Marquette
Of the 36 practices listed in Marquette, 21 currently carry a Dental.me Score. The Score is earned, never bought, and it weighs a practice’s rating, its review volume, and whether the office has confirmed its details, among other signals. That combination matters here because a handful of Marquette offices carry a perfect rating on a small handful of reviews, while others hold nearly-perfect scores across two hundred or more. Both can be excellent, but they tell you different things about how much feedback the score rests on.
The 21 rated practices cluster tightly at the top. Ten of them sit at 4.8 or above, seven land between 4.5 and 4.79, two fall in the 4.0-to-4.49 range, and only two score under 4.0. In other words, roughly four out of five rated Marquette practices are at 4.5 stars or better. The chart below shows that distribution at a glance.
Because the top is so crowded, the tie-breaker in Marquette is rarely the star rating alone. It is how many reviews stand behind that rating and whether the practice offers the specific care you need. That is where the ranked table below earns its keep.
The top-rated dental practices in Marquette
The table lists Marquette’s six highest-rated practices, sorted by rating and then by review count. Every rating and review figure comes straight from the Dental.me directory, and each name links to its full profile where you can see the Score in context.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bruce Miller | 5.0 | 214 | View profile |
| Roots by Dr Bran | 5.0 | 95 | View profile |
| Donn G. Kipka, Jr., D.D.S., P.C. | 5.0 | 15 | View profile |
| Dental Associates of Marquette Pllp | 4.9 | 153 | View profile |
| Brett S. Goymerac DDS PC | 4.9 | 58 | View profile |
| Branimir Lackovic | 4.8 | 240 | View profile |
A few things jump out. Bruce Miller holds a perfect 5.0 across 214 reviews, one of the largest review bases in the city paired with a flawless rating. Branimir Lackovic carries the single deepest review base at 240 while holding a 4.8, and Dental Associates of Marquette Pllp pairs a 4.9 with 153 reviews. At the other end of the table, Donn G. Kipka, Jr., D.D.S., P.C. also shows a perfect 5.0, but on 15 reviews, so its rating rests on a smaller sample than the practices above it.
What review volume tells you
Star ratings answer “how well liked,” but review counts answer “how sure.” A 5.0 built on 214 reviews and a 5.0 built on 15 both look identical on a badge, yet they carry very different weight. The chart below plots the published review count for each of the six top-rated Marquette practices so you can see where the deep track records are.
Across all 21 rated practices, Marquette’s dentists have accumulated 2,695 published reviews, which works out to an average of roughly 128 reviews per rated practice. That is a healthy amount of feedback for a Upper Peninsula city, and it means most of the top scores here are not resting on a thin sample. When two practices tie on rating, let the deeper review base break the tie, and if you are choosing a family dentist you expect to see for years, the practices with both a high rating and a large review count give you the most confidence.
Website coverage and looking up a practice
Fifteen of Marquette’s 36 listed practices have a website URL on file, or about 42 percent. That is worth knowing before you start dialing, because the practices without a URL on file are not necessarily smaller or newer, they simply have not published a web address to the directory yet. For those offices, the Dental.me profile is often the most complete summary you will find in one place.
Whether or not a website is listed, the practical routine is the same. Open the Marquette hub, sort by the Dental.me Score, open two or three profiles that fit your needs, and note the rating and review count for each. Then call to confirm the details that change from person to person: whether the office is accepting new patients, which insurance plans they take, and how soon they can see you. The Score narrows the field fast, but the phone call is where you confirm the specifics that a directory cannot answer for you.
Dental implants and specialty care in Marquette
Marquette’s directory tags seven practices as offering dental implants, the single most common specialty listing in the city. That is a meaningful figure for a market this size, because implant work often sends patients out of smaller towns entirely. In Marquette you have a real choice. If you are weighing implants, a bridge, or another tooth-replacement option, start with the Marquette dental implants directory and cross-reference those practices against the ratings in the table above.
For routine cleanings, fillings, and checkups, nearly any of the top-rated general practices will serve, so the choice comes down to location, hours, and insurance. For implants or more involved restorative work, narrow to the seven implant-listing offices first, then let the rating and review count guide which of them you call. Confirm on the phone that the specific procedure you need is one they perform in-house rather than refer out.
Looking beyond Marquette
Marquette is the hub of the central Upper Peninsula, and several nearby communities have their own dental listings if you live outside the city or want to widen the search. To the west along the US-41 and M-28 corridor, the iron-range twin towns of Negaunee and Ishpeming sit within a short drive. South of the city, near the former K.I. Sawyer base, is Gwinn. East along the Lake Superior shore lies Munising, and to the southwest toward Little Bay de Noc is Gladstone. Each links to its own directory hub, so you can compare ratings across town lines without losing your place.
Put together, the picture for Marquette is a strong one: 36 practices, 21 of them scored, a 4.57 average, and 2,695 reviews backing those scores. Start at the Marquette directory, sort by the Dental.me Score, weigh the review counts, and you will have a short list of well-regarded dentists in a few minutes rather than a few weeks.
