Fewer than half of Mesquite’s listed practices carry a Google rating, and the ones that do lean high. Of the 116 Mesquite practices in the directory, 56 have a Google rating on Dental.me; their mean is 4.56 out of 5 and 32 of them (57%) carry 4.8 or higher, 17 of those at exactly 5.0. That is a description of what Google reviewers chose to post. It is not a measure of clinical quality, and it does not say why any single office is rated the way it is.
This guide uses only what the directory stores and what its Mesquite dental hub publishes: the practice count, Google star ratings, Google review counts, the address and phone number held for every practice, whether a website and a set of opening hours are on file, and how many practices each service page lists. Prices, insurance networks, wait times, appointment availability and treatment outcomes are not recorded here, so this page treats every one of them as a question to put to the office rather than a fact to assert.
The Mesquite directory at a glance
Of the 116 practices Dental.me groups under Mesquite, TX — grouped by the city and state stored on each record, not by a municipal boundary this directory does not hold — 56 carry a public Google rating, and those rated offices account for 17,037 Google reviews between them, about 304 per rated practice; 31 of the 56 carry 100 or more and 21 carry 300 or more. Dental.me stores a website URL for 49 of the 116 (43 of the rated practices and 6 of the unrated ones), opening hours for 51, and an address and phone number for all 116 — so a phone number is the one field on file for every practice on the list, and whether a given one still reaches the office is something the call settles.
Read the missing fields precisely, because they are easy to over-read. 60 of the 116 practices carry no Google rating on Dental.me, and the directory holds no website URL for 67. It records no reason for either gap. A blank field is a gap in this database — not evidence that an office is offline, new, weak or hard to reach — and those practices still carry an address, a phone number and their service listings. A search that surfaces only practices with a website would leave out more than half of this list.
Where the ratings land
Here is the distribution behind the 4.56 average: 32 practices at 4.8 or higher, 17 of them at exactly 5.0; 13 between 4.5 and 4.79; 5 between 4.0 and 4.49; and 6 below 4.0. The 60 unrated practices are not in the chart at all: no rating means no Google rating on file, not a low one.
Some of the ratings at both ends rest on very little. Of the 17 Mesquite listings holding a stored 5.0, 6 rest on ten or fewer reviews, three of them on a single review, and one 4.8 rests on five. At the other end, 4 of the 6 ratings below 4.0 rest on six or fewer reviews, three of them on one. A handful of new reviews can move any of those a long way, so a low rating on one review is thin evidence against an office, just as a 5.0 on one is thin evidence for one. The other two sub-4.0 ratings rest on 27 and 99 reviews; the directory stores the average and the count, not what the reviews say, so read those reviews on Google before drawing a conclusion. Dental.me does not store review dates either, so check there how recent they are.
Most of Mesquite’s rated practices sit on larger samples than that: 11 of the 17 5.0s rest on 14 or more reviews, the largest on 1,554. A bigger sample says how precisely the average is measured and nothing else: it does not make one practice better than another, a review count does not say how long an office has been open, and Google reviewers are not a verified patient list.
The largest Google review samples in Mesquite
The largest review count stored for any Mesquite practice is 1,713, at Alireza Hosseini (4.7), just over 10% of the 17,037 reviews recorded across the city’s rated practices; it sits 23rd by Dental.me Score. Next are the two practices that share the highest Score, placed in review-count order: Riviera Family Dentistry of Mesquite (5.0, 1,554 reviews) and Inspire Dental & Orthodontics – Mesquite (5.0, 1,307). MESQUITE DENTAL GROUP, PC carries 891 (4.6) and sits 31st by Score. The rest of the table and the practices that follow it:
- RJ LOERA DDS PLLC (5.0, 916 reviews) and Artico Dental + Kids Mesquite (5.0, 672 reviews) — third and fourth on the same Score, placed in review-count order.
- TEXAS DENTISTRY FOR KIDS MESQUITE, PLLC — 5.0 across 663 reviews, fifth by Score.
- VOX DENTAL PLLC (4.9, 745 reviews) sixth, then Robert Esparza (4.9, 649) and Smile Heroes Dental & Orthodontics (4.9, 600), seventh and eighth on a shared Score.
The six highest Scores carry 5,857 of the city’s 17,037 reviews between them, about 34%. They were selected by Score, not by review count, so that share describes these six and nothing about the rest of the rated field. Two of the table’s names include children’s dentistry and one names orthodontics; that is what the listing names say, not a record of what each office treats. Read each rating and count together: the star figure is a third-party average and the review count is the sample it rests on.

What the service pages list
Each Dental.me service page publishes how many Mesquite practice profiles it covers, and that published number is the only service count this guide uses. The three longest are dental implants (30 practices), teeth whitening (29) and cosmetic dentistry (28). Orthodontics lists 26, the same 26 the Invisalign page lists. A practice can appear on more than one page.
The shorter lists: 17 practices under pediatric dentistry and 17 under dentures, 13 under periodontics, 11 under oral surgery, 9 under endodontics and 3 under prosthodontics. Another 21 appear on the emergency dentists list. Dental.me stores opening hours for 51 of the 116 practices in the city and none for the other 65, and it stores no same-day capacity and no current availability for any of them — so that list is a set of numbers to call, and the answer about tonight comes from the office.
Those counts describe how the directory’s service pages are populated and nothing further. A service-page listing is not a specialist credential: the 13 on the periodontics page are practices listed for gum care, not 13 periodontists, and a listing is not a board certification. None of the numbers measures how often a practice performs a procedure, how experienced its dentists are, what it charges, or whether it is taking new patients this week. Ask the office to confirm the procedure before you treat a listing as settled.
A method for choosing here
A star sort alone hides the sample behind each rating, so a sequence of questions works better than a sort. The steps below are one way to use the stored fields, not a method measured against outcomes.
Start from the service page for the procedure you actually need — an implant, a root canal, a child’s check-up and a clear-aligner course each sit on a different Mesquite list. Read every star rating together with the review count under it. Browse the full Mesquite directory rather than only the practices with a website on file, since 67 of the 116 have none stored here and still carry a phone number. Then call: insurance, who would treat you, whether the office takes new patients and what the procedure costs are stored for none of the 116, and a stored set of opening hours is a record of usual opening times rather than of this week’s appointments. Dental.me stores no prices, and our national dental costs hub does not publish price ranges either, so the figures to compare are written, itemised estimates from two or three offices.
Other Texas city directories
The city line is not the edge of your options, and each neighbouring directory publishes its own count: Garland lists 156 practices, Rowlett 40, Forney 39, Sunnyvale 17, Heath 14, Balch Springs 10 and Seagoville 9. If a Mesquite list is short for what you need — endodontics lists 9 — those are the next pages to open. Dental.me stores no driving distances or travel times, so how far any of them is from you is a question for a map.
When you are ready, the complete Mesquite dentist directory lists all 116 practices with the rating, review count and service listings recorded for each.
