Dental.me lists 26 dental practices in Massillon, Ohio. 19 of them carry a Google rating, averaging 4.35 stars across 6,470 reviews. The table below lists the six offices rated 4.9 or higher on 200 or more reviews; confirm an office takes your insurance before you book a first visit.
That 4.35 average sits on a real spread, so the sections below break the 26 practices down by rating, by review volume, by whether a website URL is on file, and by the service lists they appear on. The goal is a shortlist of two or three offices you can call this week, rather than a name pulled at random from a map.
Massillon’s dental directory at a glance
Massillon’s directory holds 26 practices: 19 carry a Google rating and seven are listed without one. Dental.me cannot say why an office has no rating, so treat a missing rating as unknown, not bad. The 19 rated practices average 4.35 stars and hold 6,470 reviews between them. Dental.me holds a phone number for all 26, posted hours for 14 and a website URL for 15.
Two features of that pool shape the search. First, the ratings are top-heavy: 13 of the 19 rated offices sit at 4.8 stars or above, with nothing in the 4.5-to-4.79 band. Second, the reviews are lopsided: one practice, Buckeye Dental Group, holds 3,232 of the 6,470 (50%), and the six largest records hold 5,722 reviews (88%). Keep both in mind, because review count deserves as much attention here as the star rating.
The highest-rated dentists in Massillon
The table lists the six offices rated 4.9 or higher on 200 or more reviews, sorted by rating and then by review count, so the two perfect 5.0s lead and the largest review record sits just below them. Lawrence Salata (4.9, 162 reviews) is the one 4.9 office outside it. The table is not the Dental.me Score order: by Score, Buckeye Dental Group is first, Stark Family Dental second and David Underwood third. The 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. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| David Underwood | 5.0 | 348 | View profile |
| Theresa Mellion | 5.0 | 221 | View profile |
| Buckeye Dental Group of Bach, Lamielle and Stanich DDS LLC | 4.9 | 3,232 | View profile |
| Stark Family Dental | 4.9 | 998 | View profile |
| Kron Dentistry, Inc. | 4.9 | 316 | View profile |
| Stafford General Dentistry: Corey Stafford, DMD | 4.9 | 211 | View profile |
Read the table as two signals, not one. David Underwood and Theresa Mellion top it on rating with a perfect 5.0, earned across 348 and 221 reviews respectively. Buckeye Dental Group of Bach, Lamielle and Stanich sits at 4.9, but on 3,232 reviews, roughly half of every review recorded across the entire city, so its score has been tested far more heavily than any other Massillon office. Stark Family Dental matches that 4.9 on a still-substantial 998 reviews, and Kron Dentistry and Stafford General Dentistry round out the group at 4.9 on 316 and 211 reviews. A perfect score on a few hundred reviews and a near-perfect score on a few thousand are both good outcomes; which one reassures you more is a personal call worth making before you dial.
How Massillon’s dentists rate
Of the 26 practices in the directory, 19 carry a public rating. The chart below sorts those 19 into four bands. The headline is concentration at the top: 13 of the 19 rated offices sit at 4.8 stars or higher, none land in the 4.5-to-4.79 band, four fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and two rate below 4.0.
The empty middle band is the useful detail: the rated offices cluster near the top. Read the counts behind the lower bands before reading anything into them. The two offices below 4.0 each hold a 1.0 on a single review. The 4.0-to-4.49 band holds four, including Michael Crites DDS and Associates (4.0 on 585 reviews), the third-largest review record in Massillon. Start with the 4.8-and-up group, and treat the six offices below 4.5 as ones to read closely before booking rather than to rule out on the number alone; one of them may be in your insurance network or close to home.
Which offices list a website
A website URL is on file for 15 of the 26 Massillon practices. That does not tell you an office is better or worse; it tells you where you can check hours, insurance, and new-patient forms before you pick up the phone. For the other 11, the practice profile on Dental.me is the most complete public record we hold, and the phone number remains the direct line to details a website would otherwise carry.
Read a missing website as a missing link, not a missing office. All six offices in the table above have a URL on file, but a strong rating and a full review history do not depend on one, so keep website coverage as a convenience filter rather than a quality test. When no URL is listed, plan to settle hours and insurance on the first call instead.
Where the reviews are concentrated
Massillon’s 6,470 reviews are not shared evenly. The chart below shows the six largest review records, and one office dominates: Buckeye Dental Group of Bach, Lamielle and Stanich alone accounts for 3,232 of them (50%). Stark Family Dental follows at 998 and Michael Crites DDS and Associates at 585; together the six hold 5,722 reviews (88%), leaving 748 across the other 13 rated offices.
Concentration like this shapes how you read a rating. A 4.9 built on more than three thousand reviews has absorbed a very wide range of visits, so a single unusual appointment barely moves it. A 5.0 on a couple hundred is strong but thinner, and each new review still carries visible weight. Neither is a reason to skip an office; both are reasons to weigh the review count next to the star figure instead of scanning the stars alone.
The same logic applies to the lower end of the directory. The four offices in the 4.0-to-4.49 band are not automatically wrong for you, especially if one is close to home or already in your plan, and the two sub-4.0 figures rest on one review each. A lower score is a reason to read the review text yourself and ask direct questions on the first call before you book.
Specialty care in Massillon
Dental.me sorts practices onto twelve service lists; the chart shows all twelve for Massillon. The emergency, cosmetic, pediatric and teeth-whitening lists hold six offices each, dental implants and periodontists five each, orthodontists and Invisalign four each, endodontists two and dentures one. The oral-surgeon and prosthodontist lists are empty. If you already know you need a specific service, start from that list rather than from the general ranking. 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.
These lists are entry points, not exclusions. Browse the offices on the emergency dental list in Massillon for an urgent problem, compare the practices that list cosmetic dentistry in Massillon if you are weighing veneers or bonding, or check who lists pediatric dentistry in Massillon before booking for a child. Households planning restorative work can start from the Massillon dental implant providers list, which holds five offices. With no Massillon office on the oral-surgeon list, ask your general dentist where they refer extractions they do not do themselves. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
Nearby options
If the Massillon shortlist does not fit your schedule or insurance, five neighbouring Dental.me directories are linked from this guide: Canton (111 practices, 66 rated), North Canton (32 practices, 20 rated), Canal Fulton (4 practices, 1 rated), Navarre (2 practices, 1 rated), Uniontown (13 practices, 10 rated). Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.
Each of those directories is built the same way as this one, so you can compare a Canton office against a Massillon office on the same rating and review-count basis rather than guessing across two different sources.
How to choose your Massillon dentist
Put the numbers to work in order. Open the full Massillon dentist directory and start from the 4.8-and-up group, since 13 of the 19 rated offices sit there. Weigh each office’s review count next to its rating, because a 4.9 across 3,232 reviews and a 5.0 across 221 tell you different things about how widely the score has been tested. Where a website URL is on file, use it to confirm hours and insurance; where none is listed, the profile and the phone number carry that detail instead.
Then narrow by fit with a short call. Confirm the office takes your dental plan and is accepting new patients, since a high rating guarantees neither. Ask how far out the next new-patient appointment is, and whether the practice handles the specific work you need in-house: for restorative or surgical cases, check whether implants or periodontal care are done on site or referred out, since only five Massillon offices list each. For an urgent problem, start from the emergency list and ask about same-day slots rather than assuming the highest-rated general office can fit you in.
When two offices still look close, a first visit settles it. How the front desk handles your insurance, whether the hygienist explains what they see, and how the office answers a question about a treatment plan will tell you more than any single star figure. The data narrows Massillon’s 26 practices to a short, honest list; the visit tells you which one is yours.
