Finding a good dentist in Palos Hills starts with the numbers: Dental.me tracks 26 dental practices inside the city, 15 of them rated, together carrying a 4.45 average across 1,223 published reviews. Start with the highest-rated, review-heavy offices in the table below, confirm the specialty you actually need, and call two before you book.
The Palos Hills dental landscape in numbers
Palos Hills is a compact southwest-suburban city in Cook County, bordered by Hickory Hills, Bridgeview, Worth, and Palos Heights, and its dental market is sized to match. Across the city Dental.me lists 26 practices. Of those, 15 currently carry a star rating, and those 15 average 4.45 stars. That average sits on real volume rather than a handful of stray reviews: the rated offices have accumulated 1,223 reviews between them, which is enough to separate highly rated practices with deep samples from the ones with only a few opinions on file.
A few things are worth naming up front. First, 11 practices did not have a website URL on file — only 10 of the 26 did — so the fastest way to check hours or new-patient policy for many offices will be a phone call rather than a website visit. Second, the rating distribution is top-heavy, which is good news if you want a strong first appointment. The sections below break each of those figures down so you can act on them rather than just read them.
You can browse every one of these offices, filtered and sorted, on the Palos Hills dental directory hub, which stays current as ratings and review counts move.
The highest-rated practices in Palos Hills
The table below lists the six most-reviewed and highest-rated practices in the city, sorted by rating and then by review volume. Every practice links to its full Dental.me profile, where you can see the current rating, the review history, and whether an office confirmation is on file.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elaine G. Stolis, D.D.S. & Associates | 4.9 | 143 | View profile |
| Tru Family Dental | 4.8 | 458 | View profile |
| Palos Orthodontics: Keyur Shah, DDS | 4.8 | 175 | View profile |
| Shireen Hassan | 4.8 | 153 | View profile |
| Palos Orthodontics and Implants Center | 4.8 | 114 | View profile |
| Palos Hills Dental, Anthony J. Tisoncik, DDS | 4.8 | 101 | View profile |
Elaine G. Stolis, D.D.S. & Associates holds the single highest rating at 4.9 on 143 reviews, a strong combination of score and volume. Tru Family Dental carries the most reviews of any office in the city by a wide margin — 458 — while holding a 4.8, which makes it the most-tested general option here. The chart below plots those review counts side by side so the gap is obvious at a glance.
How ratings break down across the 15 rated offices
What makes Palos Hills easy to shop is how the ratings cluster at the top. Of the 15 rated practices, 11 sit at 4.8 stars or higher — nearly three in four. Only one office falls in the 4.5-to-4.79 band, one lands in the 4.0-to-4.49 band, and two sit below 4.0. In practice that means the top tier is deep enough that you can pick on specialty and convenience rather than settling, while the small group below 4.0 is easy to spot and set aside.
A high rating on a thin review count is not the same as a high rating earned over hundreds of reviews, which is why the review chart above matters alongside this one. The two strongest signals to weigh together are the star band here and the review volume there — an office in the top band with triple-digit reviews has been tested far more thoroughly than one with a handful.
Which specialties Palos Hills covers
Palos Hills carries a full set of specialty options, so most routine and cosmetic needs can be met without leaving town. Orthodontics and Invisalign are the deepest categories, with seven practices each — no surprise given that two of the city’s most-reviewed offices are dedicated orthodontic practices. Dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, and teeth whitening each list five practices.
If you already know what you need, start from the specialty page rather than the full directory. The most-stocked categories here are orthodontists in Palos Hills and Invisalign providers in Palos Hills, and for restorative work there is a dedicated list of dental implant practices in Palos Hills. Each page shows the same ratings and review counts as the directory, filtered to just that service.
Website coverage and what “no URL on file” means
One figure changes how you should shop here: only 10 of the 26 practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me. That does not tell you anything about the office itself — plenty of practices simply have not had a site recorded — but it does change your first move. For the 16 practices without a URL on file, the profile page and a phone call are your best sources for hours, insurance, and new-patient availability, so ask by phone whether the office books online.
When a practice does have a site, use it to confirm details before you call — it saves a step. When it does not, the Dental.me profile still carries the rating, the review history, and the office-confirmation status, so you are not shopping blind. Either way, the star band and review volume are the parts that tell you how well-regarded the office is.
How to choose, and what to ask before you book
With 11 practices at 4.8 or above, the constraint in Palos Hills is rarely quality — it is fit. A practical shortlist looks like this: pick two offices from the top band that match your specialty, check that both have enough reviews to be trustworthy rather than a single strong month, and then call to confirm the details that no rating can capture. Ask whether they take your insurance, whether they are accepting new patients, what the wait is for a first cleaning, and — for implants or orthodontics — whether the specific procedure is done in-house or referred out.
The Dental.me Score you see on each profile is earned from a practice’s actual rating, its review volume, and whether an office confirmation is on file — it is never sold, and only a Featured placement can be paid for. That means a high score reflects review history rather than a marketing budget, and a low review count next to a high star rating is a flag to weigh, not a disqualifier. Read the score alongside the review chart above and you will land on the right office quickly.
