To find a good dentist in Monrovia, start with the numbers: Dental.me tracks 31 dental practices across the city, 22 of them carrying enough patient feedback to earn a rated Dental.me Score, and those rated offices average 4.4 out of five. Below, the top-scoring practices, specialty options, and how to compare them.
Monrovia is a compact San Gabriel Valley city, and its dental landscape reflects that scale. Thirty-one practices is a manageable field to work through, and because Dental.me could confirm a website URL for 17 of them, more than half give you a way to check services and hours before you ever pick up the phone. The rating picture is genuinely strong at the top: of the 22 practices with a rated Dental.me Score, 12 sit at 4.8 or higher. That concentration is what makes a short-list approach work well here.
Start with the Dental.me Score, then read the review count
A high star rating on its own can be thin. A 5.0 built on eight reviews tells you far less than a 4.9 built on three hundred. The Dental.me Score weighs the rating alongside review volume and whether the office has been confirmed, so it rewards a high rating with real review volume behind it rather than a handful of glowing notes. In Monrovia, the top of the list holds up under that test. The leading practice alone carries 429 reviews, and the six highest-scored offices together account for a large share of the city’s 2,042 total reviews.
Here are Monrovia’s highest-scored practices, ranked by Dental.me Score and then by review volume. Every entry links to its full profile.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| CH Dentistry, Dental Office of Chu and Chu, Inc. | 5.0 | 429 | View profile |
| Hwang Orthodontics | 5.0 | 374 | View profile |
| Dr. Q Dental (Charlyn Quiec, DMD) | 5.0 | 182 | View profile |
| Monica Muñoz, DDS | 5.0 | 143 | View profile |
| Dao Refela Dental Partnership | 4.9 | 333 | View profile |
| Haig Gazarian Dental Corporation | 4.9 | 107 | View profile |
A quick read of that table: CH Dentistry and Dao Refela Dental Partnership pair very high ratings with the deepest review histories, which is the combination that gives the Dental.me Score its confidence. Hwang Orthodontics stands out if your search is orthodontic rather than general. And a perfect 5.0 with a smaller count, like Monica Muñoz, DDS, is a real signal too, just a less-reviewed one worth a call to confirm fit.
How Monrovia’s ratings are distributed
The rated field skews high, but not uniformly. Grouping the 22 rated practices by band shows where the depth is and where a little more scrutiny pays off.
More than half the rated practices land in the top band, which is why a short-list of five or six names covers most of the strong options in town. The four practices below 4.0 are the reason to still read individual scores rather than assume every Monrovia office is a lock; the rated field is good, not flawless.
Website coverage: what you can check before calling
Of the 31 practices Dental.me tracks in Monrovia, 17 have a website URL on file. That does not mean the other 14 lack a web presence; it means Dental.me has a confirmed link for those 17, so you can preview services, insurance notes, and hours online before committing a phone call.
A practical routine: skim the profiles of your top three or four choices, open the ones with a website to confirm they take new patients and handle your insurance, then call to book. It saves the back-and-forth of phoning offices that turn out not to offer what you need.
The weight behind the reviews
Monrovia’s 2,042 total reviews are not spread evenly. A handful of offices carry most of that volume, and that concentration is exactly what makes the top scores trustworthy rather than noisy.
When one office has logged 429 reviews and holds a 5.0, the score is doing real work. That is the difference between a practice you can shortlist with confidence and one where a single call is wise before you decide.
Specialty care in Monrovia
Beyond routine cleanings and checkups, Monrovia has depth in a few specific areas. Dental.me tags eight practices for cosmetic dentistry, eight for teeth whitening, and six for dental implants. If your need is specific, browsing by specialty is faster than reading every general profile.
Cosmetic work and whitening are the most represented, so you have room to compare on price and approach. Implant care is a little narrower at six practices, which is common because implants require specific training and equipment; the smaller field is a reason to check credentials and consultation options carefully.
Insurance, new-patient status, and the practical call
Ratings and review counts get you to a short list, but two things decide the final pick: whether the office takes your insurance and whether it is accepting new patients. Neither shows up in a star rating. For the practices with a website URL on file, you can often answer the insurance question online. For the rest, one focused phone call, asking about your specific plan and current new-patient availability, settles it. It will not resolve everything, but it clears the two biggest unknowns quickly.
Looking just beyond Monrovia
Monrovia sits shoulder-to-shoulder with several San Gabriel Valley cities, so if your top choice is booked or out of network, neighbors are minutes away. Duarte is directly east, Arcadia sits to the west, and Sierra Madre tucks into the foothills nearby. Each has its own directory of rated practices, and widening your radius by a mile or two often opens up appointment slots without a meaningful change in commute.
Putting it together
The efficient path in Monrovia looks like this: open the Monrovia directory, work down the list ranked by Dental.me Score, and note the practices that pair a high score with a deep review count. Cross-check the top few against your specialty need and your insurance, using the website links where they exist. Then call one or two finalists to confirm new-patient status. With 31 practices, 22 rated, and 12 of those at 4.8 or higher, the strong options are clustered near the top of the list, which keeps the whole search short.
Remember what the Dental.me Score is and is not. It is earned from a practice’s rating, its review volume, and whether the office is confirmed; it is never something a practice can buy. Only Featured placement can be paid for, and it does not lift a score or reorder the rankings. That is why the list above is worth trusting as a starting point for your own decision.
