Finding a good dentist in Pinehurst, North Carolina comes down to a compact field: 26 dental practices operate here, 15 carry a public rating, and those rated offices average a strong 4.75 stars overall. This guide ranks the top-reviewed practices, maps specialty coverage, and shows exactly how those numbers break down.
Pinehurst dentistry at a glance
Pinehurst is a village in Moore County, at the heart of North Carolina’s Sandhills, and the dental market is well documented. Across the 26 practices Dental.me tracks inside the Pinehurst directory, 15 have accumulated enough public feedback to hold a star rating, while the remaining 11 are listed but do not yet carry a public score. That split matters when you start calling around: more than half of the offices here already have a public rating you can read before you ever pick up the phone.
The headline figure is the 4.75-star average across those 15 rated practices. That is a high bar, and it is not carried by a single standout. When you sort the rated offices into star bands, 12 of the 15 sit at 4.8 stars or above, one lands in the 4.5-to-4.79 range, one falls into the 4.0-to-4.49 band, and just one drops below 4.0. In plain terms, the top of the Pinehurst market is deep, and the weaker end is thin. The chart below shows how the rated practices distribute.
The highest-rated practices in Pinehurst
The table below ranks the six most-reviewed practices in the Pinehurst directory, sorted by star rating and then by review count. Every one of these offices sits in the top band, so the tie-breaker here is really depth of feedback rather than a meaningful gap in quality. Follow any profile link to see the full Dental.me listing for that office.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Ridge | 5.0 | 633 | View profile |
| James Mead | 5.0 | 375 | View profile |
| Joseph Skladany | 5.0 | 277 | View profile |
| Herbert T. Hudson, DMD, PA | 5.0 | 148 | View profile |
| Drs. Monroe & Monroe DDS PA | 4.9 | 723 | View profile |
| Jordan K Hubbard, DDS, PLLC | 4.9 | 308 | View profile |
A few things stand out. Jordan Ridge holds a perfect 5.0 across 633 reviews, the largest rating-plus-volume combination in the directory. Drs. Monroe & Monroe DDS PA actually carries the single highest review count in Pinehurst at 723, paired with a 4.9 rating, which places it just behind on stars but ahead on sheer volume of feedback. James Mead and Joseph Skladany both hold 5.0 ratings with 375 and 277 reviews respectively, and Herbert T. Hudson, DMD, PA rounds out the perfect-score group with 148. Jordan K Hubbard, DDS, PLLC completes the list at 4.9 stars over 308 reviews. Whichever way you weigh stars against volume, all six of these Pinehurst practices land in serious contention.
What the review counts tell you
A star rating on its own can be brittle. An office with a 5.0 built on eight reviews is a very different proposition from one holding 4.9 across several hundred, because the larger sample is far harder to move. That is why review volume deserves its own look. Together, the 15 rated Pinehurst practices have gathered 2,903 published reviews, and the six offices above account for the bulk of that total. The chart below compares the review counts of the top practices so you can see where the deepest feedback sits.
The takeaway is reassuring for anyone new to town. Both frontrunners are backed by hundreds of reviews, so their ratings are not a small-sample fluke. Even the sixth office on the list, Herbert T. Hudson, DMD, PA, clears 148 reviews at a perfect score. When a market has this much accumulated feedback concentrated at the top, your shortlist gets short quickly.
Website coverage across Pinehurst offices
Before you book, it helps to know how many offices you can research online first. Of the 26 practices in the Pinehurst directory, 14 have a website URL on file. That is roughly 54 percent, so a little over half of local offices give you a page to check for services, new-patient forms, and hours before you call. The remaining 12 have no website URL on file, which simply means the phone is your first point of contact for those.
Use that as a workflow, not a filter. A missing website URL is not a mark against an office; all ten of Pinehurst’s most-reviewed practices have one on file. Where a URL is on file, take advantage of it to confirm that a practice takes your insurance and is accepting new patients, then save the call for scheduling.
Specialty care: implants and whitening
Pinehurst covers the two elective services patients ask about most. Within the directory, 5 practices are tagged for dental implants and 5 for teeth whitening. Against a 26-practice market those are meaningful clusters, and they give you a real choice rather than a single provider to take or leave. The chart shows how each specialty is represented.
If you are weighing tooth replacement, start with the Pinehurst dental implants directory, which lists the offices tagged for implant work so you can compare ratings and review depth side by side. For cosmetic brightening, the Pinehurst teeth whitening directory collects the practices offering that service. Because several of the top-rated offices appear across both lists, an office may list both implant and whitening services; ask which work it does itself.
Neighboring Sandhills towns to widen your search
Pinehurst sits inside a tight cluster of Moore County communities, so if your preferred practice is booked or out of network, a good option is usually a short drive away. Pinehurst borders Southern Pines to the east and Aberdeen to the south, with West End, Carthage, and Vass nearby. Each has its own Dental.me directory you can browse the same way.
Start next door with the Southern Pines dentist directory, then check Aberdeen practices and the West End directory to compare ratings across the immediate area. Widening from Pinehurst to its neighbors typically doubles or triples the pool of rated offices within a reasonable radius, which is useful when you need a specific specialty, an in-network match, or a sooner appointment. You can always return to the full Pinehurst dentist directory to see every local practice in one place.
How to read a Dental.me profile and choose
With 26 practices, 15 of them rated, and a 4.75 average, Pinehurst gives you the luxury of choosing on fit rather than scrambling for whoever answers. A practical order of operations: open the Pinehurst directory, scan the rated offices, and build a shortlist of three or four that clear a high bar on both stars and review count. The table above is a fast starting point, since those six practices already represent the deepest feedback in town.
Each practice page carries a Dental.me Score, which is earned and never sold. It weighs the office’s star rating, the volume of reviews behind that rating, and whether the practice has confirmed its listing details, so a high score reflects both a high rating and a substantial review count rather than a handful of glowing notes. Only Featured placement can be paid for, and it does not buy a better score or a higher organic rank. When two Pinehurst offices look close, let review depth break the tie, then confirm the practical details, insurance, availability for new patients, and the specific procedure you need, before you commit. In a market this well rated, a careful shortlist keeps the choice manageable.
