Finding a good dentist in Pasco starts with the numbers: the Dental.me directory tracks 36 dental practices across the city, 17 of which carry enough patient ratings to score, and those rated offices average a strong 4.64 stars. Start with the highest-rated, website-confirmed practices below, then match one to your specific need.
How Pasco’s dentists rate — the shape behind the 4.64 average
A single citywide average can hide as much as it reveals, so it helps to see how Pasco’s 17 rated practices spread out across rating tiers. Twelve of them sit at 4.8 stars or higher — a top-heavy distribution, and the reason the 4.64 average holds up. Two practices land in the 4.5 to 4.79 band, one falls between 4.0 and 4.49, and two sit below 4.0. In practice that means a highly rated Pasco office is easy to find, but the bottom of the list is real and worth avoiding by checking the score before you book.
It also tells you how selective you can afford to be. In a city where the top tier is a lone standout, you take what you can get; in Pasco, 12 offices clear the 4.8 bar, so you can add filters — location relative to your side of town, whether they see children, whether they take your plan — and still keep a genuine shortlist. The five practices that fall outside that top tier are worth a closer read rather than an automatic pass, since a lower score sometimes reflects a thin rating history rather than poor care. The distribution above is your first screen, not your last word; use it to decide how high to set your own bar before you start dialing.
The top-rated dental practices in Pasco
These are the six highest-scoring practices in the Pasco directory, ranked by their Dental.me Score and, where scores tie, by the number of ratings behind them. Reggie Orozco DDS PLLC holds a perfect 5.0, while Bagley Dental carries the deepest review history in the group at 357 ratings. Each name links to its full profile, where the score, review breakdown, and listed specialties live.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reggie Orozco DDS PLLC | 5.0 | 208 | View profile |
| Dental West – Stephen R. Leavens, DDS | 4.9 | 280 | View profile |
| Mark Schutte | 4.9 | 220 | View profile |
| Bagley Dental, PS | 4.8 | 357 | View profile |
| West Pasco Family Dental | 4.8 | 338 | View profile |
| Andros Orthodontics | 4.8 | 248 | View profile |
A few patterns are worth noting as you scan. The top of the Pasco list mixes general practices with a named orthodontic office — Andros Orthodontics — which is useful if your household need is braces or aligners rather than a routine cleaning. Reggie Orozco’s perfect 5.0 rides on a solid 208 ratings, so it is not a fragile score built on a handful of reviews; Dental West and Mark Schutte hold matching 4.9s, separated here by review depth. If two names tie on stars, look at the reviews column before you decide, because that volume is what turns a good-looking number into a reliable one.
The full roster of every scored office sits on the Pasco dentist directory hub, which lists all 36 practices and lets you filter down from there.
Website coverage across Pasco offices
Sixteen of the 36 Pasco practices in the directory have a website URL on file — a little under half. That gap matters when you are researching from your phone at 9 p.m.: for the 16 with a confirmed site, you can usually preview services, insurance, and new-patient forms before you ever call. For the 20 without a website URL on file, the Dental.me profile is often your most complete public reference point, which is exactly why the score and review count carry more weight for those offices. It is worth stressing what that missing-URL figure does and does not mean: it records only that no website address is stored in the directory for that practice, not that the office lacks a site, hours, or anything else. Plenty of Pasco practices may operate largely by phone, and several of the highest-scoring names in the city may fall on either side of that line. So do not let a blank website field push a strong score down your list — treat it as a note about how you will research the office, not a mark against the office itself.
How much patient feedback stands behind Pasco’s scores
Across the whole city, Pasco practices have collected 2,503 ratings — a meaningful pool that keeps the top scores from resting on a handful of opinions. The six leading offices alone account for a large share of that volume. Bagley Dental leads with 357 ratings, West Pasco Family Dental follows at 338, and Dental West adds 280. When two practices post the same star rating, this depth is the tie-breaker: a 4.8 built on 357 ratings is a steadier signal than a 4.8 built on a dozen.
What specialties Pasco covers, and where to start
Pasco is well-rounded for a mid-size Tri-Cities community. General and family care anchors the directory, but you also have real depth in the areas most households eventually need. Eight practices list cosmetic dentistry, eight offer pediatric care, and eight provide teeth whitening. Seven are set up for emergency visits, six list dental implants, six are orthodontists, and six offer Invisalign. If you are triaging a specific need, start from the specialty page rather than the full list: browse cosmetic dentists in Pasco, compare pediatric dentists for the kids, or, if something has gone wrong today, jump straight to emergency dentists in Pasco. Families weighing braces versus clear aligners can also review the Pasco orthodontists in one place.
If you’re willing to cross the river
Pasco is the northern point of the Tri-Cities triangle, and for many residents the nearest right-fit specialist is a short drive over the Columbia. If your Pasco shortlist does not have the exact service or appointment window you need, it is worth widening the search to the neighboring directories. Kennewick dentists are the closest cluster to the south, Richland dentists sit across the river to the west, and West Richland dentists extend the options further out. Each hub is scored the same way as Pasco’s, so you can compare offices across city lines without changing how you read the numbers.
Reading the Dental.me Score before you commit
Every practice on the Pasco list carries a Dental.me Score, and understanding what it reflects keeps you from over-reading a single number. The score weighs a practice’s star rating, the volume of ratings behind it, and whether the listing has been office-confirmed — it is calculated from a practice’s ratings and reviews, never purchased. That distinction matters in a directory this size: when you see Reggie Orozco at 5.0 or Bagley Dental at 4.8 across 357 ratings, you are looking at a position built on review history, not on ad spend. Featured placement is the only thing a practice can pay for, and it is kept separate from the score so it can never lift an office above where its record puts it. The practical takeaway for a Pasco patient is simple: treat the score as a well-weighted summary, then open the profile to see the pieces underneath it — the rating, the review count, and the specialties — before you decide the office fits.
Insurance, new patients, and getting the first appointment
Once you have two or three Pasco names, the last mile is logistics. For the 16 practices with a website URL on file, check the site first for accepted insurance plans, whether they are taking new patients, and any online intake forms — doing that before you call saves a round of phone tag. For the 20 practices without a website URL on file, plan to gather the same details by phone: confirm your plan is in network, ask about the wait for a new-patient cleaning versus an urgent visit, and note whether they handle the specialty you came for in-house or refer it out. Pasco’s emergency-capable offices are worth flagging in advance even if you are booking routine care, because knowing which of your shortlisted practices can see you on short notice turns a future toothache from a scramble into a phone call. If you are new to the Tri-Cities entirely, start your intake questions with location and hours relative to your commute — with practices spread across west and central Pasco, a five-minute difference in drive time is often what decides between two offices that score the same.
How to choose your Pasco dentist
Put the three signals together in order. First, filter for score: with 12 practices at 4.8 or above, you can afford to start only with the top tier and still have real choice. Second, weigh review depth — a high score backed by 200-plus ratings, as several Pasco leaders have, is more dependable than the same score on a thin history. Third, confirm fit: check that the office lists your specialty and, for the 16 practices with a website URL on file, glance at their insurance and new-patient details before you call. The Dental.me Score is earned from a practice’s rating, its review volume, and whether its listing is office-confirmed — it is never something a practice can buy. Only a Featured placement can be paid for, and it never changes how an office is scored or where it lands on merit. Work the list from the top, match a specialty page to your need, and you will have a shortlist of two or three Pasco offices worth calling in a single sitting.
