Finding a good dentist in Monaca, Pennsylvania starts with the numbers: this Beaver County borough lists 22 dental practices, 13 of them carrying a public star rating that averages 4.3 out of 5. Five practices clear a 4.8, and two of them together hold more than 570 reviews, so start your shortlist there and compare.
The Monaca dental market at a glance
Monaca sits on the Ohio River in Beaver County, roughly 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, and it carries a deep bench of dentistry. The directory tracks 22 dental practices inside the Monaca listing. Of those, 13 have accumulated enough public feedback to show a star rating; the remaining nine appear without a rating on file, and Dental.me does not record why. Across all 22 offices, 1,554 ratings have been left in total, and the rated group averages 4.3 out of 5.
That 4.3 average is the single most useful anchor when you compare Monaca offices. Because 13 of the 22 practices are rated, roughly six in ten of the borough’s dentists give you a public score to weigh against reviews, review volume, and whether a website is on file. The chart below shows how much of the market is measured versus still unrated.
The top-rated dentists in Monaca
The table below ranks the Monaca practices with the strongest public profiles, sorted by rating and then by review count. Two names stand out immediately on volume: Donna Iannone DMD LLC and Richard a Covatto DMD PC each hold a 4.9 star average across hundreds of ratings, which is a rare combination of high score and large sample in a borough this size.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gregory E Brummitt DMD PC | 5.0 | 7 | View profile |
| Brandon M. Lackovich DDS PLLC | 5.0 | 5 | View profile |
| Donna Iannone DMD LLC | 4.9 | 308 | View profile |
| Richard a Covatto DMD PC | 4.9 | 264 | View profile |
| Joseph J Skoff DDS | 4.6 | 16 | View profile |
| Christian Mangin | 4.4 | 16 | View profile |
Notice how differently these six earn their scores. Gregory E Brummitt DMD PC and Brandon M. Lackovich DDS PLLC each hold a perfect 5.0, but on 7 and 5 ratings respectively, so the score is clean but the sample is small. Donna Iannone DMD LLC and Richard a Covatto DMD PC land just below at 4.9, yet their scores rest on 308 and 264 ratings. When you are choosing, decide which matters more to you: a flawless average on a handful of ratings, or a near-flawless average spread across hundreds. The next chart makes that volume gap visible.
How the ratings break down
Averages hide the shape of a market, so it helps to see where Monaca’s 13 rated practices actually fall. Sorting them into rating bands tells a clearer story than the 4.3 headline alone: five practices sit at 4.8 or higher, one lands in the 4.5 to 4.79 range, six cluster in the 4.0 to 4.49 band, and a single office falls below 4.0.
The practical read: the top of the Monaca market is genuinely strong, with five offices at 4.8 or better, but the single largest band is the solid-not-spectacular 4.0 to 4.49 group. Only one rated practice sits under 4.0. If you want to play it safe, the five practices in the top band plus the two heavily reviewed 4.9 offices give you a shortlist of contenders before you ever pick up the phone.
Website details and how to reach a Monaca practice
One gap worth planning around: of the 22 Monaca practices, only 5 have a website URL on file. That is a little under a quarter of the borough’s offices. The absence of a link is not a mark against a practice; it simply means you will do your homework by phone or in person rather than on a booking page.
When you call a Monaca office, have your specifics ready so a short call goes far: name your insurance plan or that you are paying out of pocket, describe whether you need a routine cleaning or something more urgent, and ask about the next available new-patient appointment. If the practice you are eyeing has no website URL on file, its Dental.me profile is still the fastest place to confirm its rating and review count before you dial, and the borough hub linked below collects all 22 offices in one view.
You can browse every Monaca practice, rated and unrated, on the Monaca dentist directory hub. That page is the right starting point if none of the six profiles above fit your insurance or your schedule, because it also surfaces the nine practices that do not yet carry a public rating.
Reading review volume the right way
The 1,554 total ratings across Monaca are not spread evenly, and understanding that concentration protects you from two mistakes. The first mistake is over-trusting a perfect score built on a handful of ratings: Gregory E Brummitt DMD PC at 5.0 on 7 ratings and Brandon M. Lackovich DDS PLLC at 5.0 on 5 ratings are both excellent on paper, but a single unhappy visit would move those averages far more than it would move a practice with hundreds of ratings. The second mistake is dismissing a strong-but-not-perfect office: Richard a Covatto DMD PC holding 4.9 across 264 ratings has a fairly large sample behind that score.
A reasonable way to weigh Monaca practices is to treat any office with 200-plus ratings as having a battle-tested score, treat offices in the 15-to-20 range like Joseph J Skoff DDS and Christian Mangin as promising but still-forming, and treat single-digit-review offices as worth a call but worth a couple of extra questions. The Dental.me Score is designed to fold exactly these considerations together, weighing rating alongside review volume and office-confirmation signals rather than reading a raw star average in isolation, and it is always earned through those signals, never purchased. Only a Featured placement can be paid for, and Featured status never changes the underlying score.
Looking just beyond Monaca
Monaca sits in a tight cluster of Beaver County boroughs, so if the Monaca shortlist does not fit your needs you have several directories within a short drive. Beaver, the county seat, sits directly across and downriver; Bridgewater and Rochester are neighboring river boroughs; and New Brighton and Fallston lie just up the Beaver River. Each has its own dentist directory:
- Dentists in Beaver, PA — the county seat, immediately southwest along the Ohio River.
- Dentists in Bridgewater, PA — a small borough at the mouth of the Beaver River.
- Dentists in Rochester, PA — directly across the river from Monaca.
- Dentists in New Brighton, PA — a few miles up the Beaver River valley.
- Dentists in Fallston, PA — a small borough adjacent to New Brighton.
Widening your search to two or three of these neighboring directories roughly multiplies your options while keeping every appointment inside Beaver County. If you commute toward Pittsburgh, checking a Beaver or Rochester office alongside your Monaca shortlist can also line an appointment up with your normal route.
A practical way to choose
Pulling it together, here is a clean path through Monaca’s 22 practices. Start with the five offices in the 4.8-plus band, since they represent the top of a market that averages 4.3. Within that group, let review volume break the tie: Donna Iannone DMD LLC at 4.9 on 308 ratings and Richard a Covatto DMD PC at 4.9 on 264 ratings have the deepest review counts in the borough. If neither fits your insurance or schedule, work down to Joseph J Skoff DDS and Christian Mangin, both rated in the mid-4s, and then consult the full Monaca hub for the nine unrated practices. Confirm the details by phone, especially for the five offices with a website URL on file and the 17 without, and you will have chosen well.
