Monroe’s ratings are lopsided, and the numbers make it plain. Dental.me lists 43 dental practices in Monroe, but only 23 of them carry a public Google rating. That shapes how to search here: for the other 20, nearly half the list, there is no rating on file to read.

Look closer and the pattern gets sharper. Of those 23 rated offices, 14 sit at 4.8 stars or higher — the top band. But five practices sit below 4.0, and they pull the average rating down to 4.27: the 18 practices rated 4.0 or higher average 4.81. Those five rest on 113 reviews between them, and two of them on a single 1-star review each. Only four practices sit between 4.0 and 4.79, so the middle is almost empty. Read the distribution, not the average.

Why the average misleads here

A 4.27 average sounds middling, but Monroe’s ratings do not cluster around 4.27. They cluster at the top. Fourteen of the 23 rated practices are in the 4.8–5.0 band, a single office sits in the 4.5–4.79 range, three land between 4.0 and 4.49, and five fall below 4.0. In other words, roughly three in five rated dentists in Monroe sit in the 4.8–5.0 band, and the “average” is pulled down by five low ratings that rest on few reviews.

The practical takeaway is simple. In Monroe, the 14 practices rated 4.8 or higher are the natural place to start, read next to the review count behind each rating. A rating summarizes public reviews; it does not by itself show clinical quality.

The offices carrying the town’s review volume

Review volume shows how much evidence sits behind each rating. Monroe’s most-reviewed practice, Monroe Dental Office PC, holds a 4.9 rating across 806 reviews — a sample size large enough that a few new reviews would barely move the score. That one office holds roughly a quarter of the 3,231 Google reviews on file for Monroe practices.

Right behind it, Orange County Pediatric Dentistry holds a 5.0 across 527 reviews and is on the Monroe pediatric dentists list. After it, Gregory S. Freed DDS, PC (5.0, 230 reviews), Rightly Dental (4.9, 226 reviews), Monroe Dental Arts (4.9, 212 reviews), and Alexander Katsman (4.9, 143 reviews) complete the six most-reviewed practices rated 4.8 or higher. You can see all of them, and the rest of the rated field, on the Monroe dentist hub.

The concentration here is worth pausing on. Those six practices hold 2,144 of the town’s 3,231 reviews, about two-thirds. The most-reviewed list is not only high ratings, though: the second-most-reviewed practice, Exceldent Dental of Monroe, is rated 4.3 across 728 reviews, so read the rating and the count together.

The five practices below 4.0 rest on 113 reviews between them: one has 70, one 31, one 10, and two have a single review each. We do not name them here. A rating built on a handful of reviews can move a long way with a few new ones, and the directory holds no information on why a rating is low. If an office you are considering sits under 4.0, read its reviews before you book, and start from the 4.8+ band, as the steps below do.

The blind spot: half the town has no website on file

Here is the wrinkle that separates Monroe from a simpler search. Only 21 of the 43 practices have a website on file, and only 23 have a Google rating on file. The two overlap: 17 of the 23 rated practices list a website, but only 4 of the 20 unrated ones do. For 16 Monroe practices there is neither a rating nor a website on file to read.

Dental.me records which offices have a site, not why the others do not, and a missing website or rating is not a verdict on the care inside. It does change your method. Every Monroe listing has a phone number on file, so for these offices a call is the way to ask about hours, services and the insurance they accept. Posted hours are on file for 21 of the 43.

Which specialty lists Monroe practices appear on

Monroe’s specialty pages list practices by the services they show. The longest lists are cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening and pediatric dentistry, with 5 practices each, then dental implants with 4.

The specialist lists are short. Periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, emergency care and Invisalign list 3 practices each, and no Monroe practice is on the oral surgery, dentures or prosthodontics lists. A listing shows which services an office names, not how often it performs them. For a short or empty list, the other directories below are the next place to look, though they are small too.

Where to look when Monroe comes up short

Dental.me also has directories for other nearby towns, and all of them are small: Chester lists 8 practices, Harriman and Central Valley 3 each, and Vails Gate and Salisbury Mills 2 each. Each is quick to read in full, and each shows which listings have a rating on file.

A method that fits this town

Put the pieces together and Monroe rewards a specific approach: ignore the town average, aim for the top band, verify with review volume, and phone the offline offices directly. The map below is the decision path we’d walk a friend through.

None of this requires guesswork. The full list of all 43 practices, with the rating and review count for each of the 23 that have one, is on the Monroe dentist directory, and before you book a cleaning, crown, or implant, ask for a written, itemised estimate; our national guide to dental costs publishes no prices, but it lists what a quote depends on. Between the two, you can go from 43 names to a shortlist of two or three to call.

Dental.me organizes dental directory data so patients can compare offices with confidence. Use each practice profile and its available website, map, and phone details for current appointment, payment, and care decisions.
