Finding a good dentist in Monument comes down to comparing what the numbers actually show: of the 22 dental practices in this Palmer Divide town, 13 carry a published rating, and those rated offices average an exceptional 4.86 across their reviews. Start with the highest-rated, then match a practice to your specialty need.
That 4.86 figure is unusually high, and it is not built on a thin sample. The 13 rated practices in Monument have gathered 2,018 reviews between them, which means the average reflects thousands of individual scores rather than a handful of lucky ratings. This guide walks through who ranks where, how the ratings spread out, how many offices you can reach online, and which specialties are actually represented among Monument’s dentists so you can shortlist a practice in a single sitting.
The top-rated dentists in Monument
The table below ranks Monument’s most-reviewed practices by their Dental.me rating, highest first, with ties broken by review volume. The Dental.me Score is earned from a practice’s rating, its review count, and whether its office details are confirmed, among other signals — it is never sold, and only Featured placement can be paid for. Every practice name links to its full profile.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palmer Ridge Dental and Orthodontics | 5.0 | 145 | View profile |
| David J Jones DDS PC | 4.9 | 388 | View profile |
| A J Gerathy Jr DMD LLC | 4.9 | 385 | View profile |
| Eric Nguyen | 4.9 | 346 | View profile |
| David Hamula | 4.9 | 146 | View profile |
| Marcus Bellamy | 4.9 | 55 | View profile |
Palmer Ridge Dental and Orthodontics holds the only perfect 5.0 in this group, drawn from 145 reviews. Right behind it, three offices — David J Jones DDS PC with 388 reviews, A J Gerathy Jr DMD LLC with 385, and Eric Nguyen with 346 — each sit at 4.9 on the largest review counts in town. When two practices share a rating, the one with more reviews has had its score tested more times, which is why the table orders the 4.9 tier by volume.
What the ratings distribution tells you
Monument’s rated practices cluster tightly at the top. Of the 13 with a published rating, 10 sit at 4.8 or higher and the remaining 3 fall in the 4.5-to-4.79 band. Not a single rated practice in Monument scores below 4.5. The chart below shows how the 13 rated offices break down by rating band.
Practically, this means the ratings alone will not separate the field for you in Monument — the top 10 are all excellent by score. What breaks the tie is review volume, specialty fit, and which office you can actually reach. Use the rating band as a floor, then let the other signals decide.
Reaching a Monument office online
Half of Monument’s directory has a website you can open before you call. Of the 22 practices listed, 11 have a website URL on file and 11 do not. A missing URL is a note about the directory record, not a judgment on the office — several well-rated practices simply have no site listed. The split below shows the coverage.
When a practice has no URL on file, its Dental.me profile is still the fastest route to its details, and the office is reachable by phone. When a URL is listed, open it first to confirm hours and whether the practice is accepting new patients before you book. Either way, verify current availability directly with the office — the directory records ratings and reviews, not a live appointment calendar.
Review volume across Monument
The 2,018 reviews behind Monument’s dentists are not spread evenly. Three practices carry the bulk of them, while others have earned strong ratings on smaller counts. The chart compares the review totals for the six most-reviewed offices.
A rating built on 388 reviews, as at David J Jones DDS PC, has been stress-tested far more than one built on 55, as at Marcus Bellamy. Both practices sit at 4.9, so both are strong choices — but if you weight stability from a large sample, the higher-volume offices give you more confidence per point of rating. Palmer Ridge’s perfect 5.0 rests on 145 reviews, a healthy middle ground between the two extremes.
Specialty care in Monument
Beyond general dentistry, Monument’s directory tags practices by the specialty services they offer. Cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening are the most widely available, each represented at 6 practices, while dental implants are offered at 5. If your search is driven by a specific procedure, start from the specialty page rather than the full list.
You can browse each of these directly: cosmetic dentists in Monument, teeth whitening providers, and dental implant practices. Because a single office often carries more than one tag, the same highly rated practice may appear on several of these lists — worth checking if you want one dentist for multiple needs.
Putting your Monument shortlist together
Here is a practical order of operations for Monument. First, use the ratings as a floor: with 10 of 13 rated practices at 4.8 or higher, you can safely limit your list to the top band. Second, weight review volume, which is where the field genuinely separates — the three offices above 340 reviews have the deepest track records. Third, match the specialty tag to your actual need, whether that is a cosmetic consult, whitening, or an implant. Fourth, check whether the practice has a website URL on file to preview hours and new-patient status, then confirm the rest by phone.
The full directory, including the practices not shown in the top-six table, lives on the Monument dentists hub. Monument sits on the Palmer Divide in northern El Paso County, just off I-25, so if you are willing to travel a short distance, neighboring directories widen the field considerably. To the south, Colorado Springs dentists offer by far the largest nearby selection. To the north lies Larkspur, and to the west, up in the mountains, Woodland Park. Any of these can supplement Monument’s 22 listings if a specific specialty or appointment window is hard to secure locally.
