Dental.me lists 57 practices in Meridian, Mississippi. 26 carry a Google rating; Dental.me does not record why the other 31 do not. Nine of the 26 sit at 4.8 stars or higher, four at 4.5 to 4.79, six at 4.0 to 4.49 and seven below 4.0.
The plain average of the 26 ratings is 4.15. It counts each office once, whatever its number of reviews, and it says little about any one office. This guide gives the rating bands, names the largest review records and the top of the Score, and shows the service lists, so you can narrow 57 practices to two or three to call.
The reviews are not spread evenly either. The nine offices at 4.8 or higher hold 1,803 of the 2,636 Google reviews, and the seven below 4.0 hold 99.
Reading the rating bands
Split the 26 rated practices into bands and they do not gather around the 4.15 average. Nine (35%) sit at 4.8 or higher, seven (27%) sit below 4.0, and ten fall between. Dental.me holds the ratings, not the reasons behind them.
The bands do not line up with review volume. The largest record in Meridian, Affordable Dentures & Implants (4.4, 646 reviews), sits in the 4.0 to 4.49 band and holds 646 of that band’s 684 reviews. The seven offices below 4.0 hold 99 reviews between them: the two largest records there are 38 and 37, and two offices rest on a single review. If you are considering one of these offices, read its reviews on Google before you book.
The six largest review records, and the top of the Score
These six offices hold the most Google reviews in Meridian: 2,176 of 2,636, or 83% of the total. A larger count is a larger sample of reviewers, not a measure of clinical quality, and Dental.me holds no review dates or text, so check how recent the reviews are on Google.
- Affordable Dentures & Implants: 4.4 on 646 reviews, 25% of the total. It ranks 11th on the Score.
- Brock B. Westover, DDS: 5.0 on 512 reviews. It ranks first on the Score.
- Mark Williams: 5.0 on 326 reviews, second on the Score.
- Smile Straight Orthodontics – Meridian: 4.9 on 314 reviews, third on the Score, and on the orthodontist list.
- William Woods: 4.9 on 219 reviews, fifth on the Score.
- John Hodge, DMD, MS: 5.0 on 159 reviews, fourth on the Score, and on the orthodontist list.
So the largest record and the Score leader are different offices. Mark Moore (4.9, 152) is sixth on the Score and Rodney Richardson (5.0, 113) seventh. 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. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order. To see the whole field, the Meridian dentist directory lists all 57.
What it costs, and why you should still call
Ratings and review counts say nothing about what a Meridian office charges or how it handles billing. Dental.me holds no insurance data and 16 of the 57 practices have a website URL on file, so ask an office directly which plans it takes and whether it offers a membership plan for the uninsured. Do that before your first appointment, not after. 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, itemised estimate.
What the twelve service lists show
Dental.me keeps twelve service lists for Meridian. Nine offices are on the implant list and six on the periodontist list. Four each are on the pediatric, orthodontist and Invisalign lists, and the orthodontist and Invisalign lists hold the same four offices. Three each are on the whitening and oral-surgeon lists, two each on the cosmetic and emergency lists, and one each on the endodontist and denture lists. The prosthodontist list holds none. A place on a list shows what an office lists, not how often it does that work, and being off a list does not show an office does not offer the service.
Start from the list for what you need, such as implant dentists in Meridian, periodontists in Meridian or pediatric dentists in Meridian. The endodontist list holds one office, Mark Moore, and the denture list holds one, Affordable Dentures & Implants. Brock B. Westover, Mark Williams and William Woods, three of the Score’s top five, are on none of the twelve lists, so ask them directly what they offer. The nearby directories linked below hold no office on their endodontist, oral-surgeon, denture or prosthodontist lists, so a wider search for those services has to go beyond them. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
How to vet a Meridian dentist when the data is thin
16 of the 57 practices here have a website URL on file, and 31 carry no Google rating; Dental.me does not record why. Of the 41 with no URL, 11 are rated, including Rodney Richardson, and 30 are not, so for those 30 a call is the main way to learn about the office. Dental.me holds posted hours for 19 practices and a phone number for all 57. Here is one sequence for Meridian.
Read the reviews themselves on Google, the low ones included, and look for anything repeated rather than a one-off complaint. A 5.0 on 512 reviews and a 5.0 on one review are different amounts of evidence, and Meridian has both. To see how our Score is built, read how Dental.me ranks practices.
