Finding a good dentist in Redmond starts with the numbers: of 38 dental practices mapped across the city, 22 carry enough patient feedback to earn a Dental.me Score, and those rated offices average a striking 4.87 out of five. Start with the highest-scored practices below, then match one to your specific need.
The shape of dental care in Redmond right now
Redmond sits at the crossroads of Central Oregon, where US-97 carries commuters south to Bend and north to Madras, and where the population has climbed fast enough that a new arrival often needs a dentist before they have unpacked. The good news for anyone in that position is that the local field is small enough to survey in an afternoon and strong enough that the survey rarely disappoints. Thirty-eight practices operate in and around the city. Twenty-two of them have accumulated enough patient feedback to be scored, and across those twenty-two the average rating lands at 4.87 out of five, a figure that leaves very little room at the bottom.
That last point is worth sitting with, because it changes how you should shop. In many places the task is separating the strong offices from the weak ones. In Redmond, almost every scored office is strong, so the more useful question is which strong office fits your calendar, your budget, and the specific procedure you came for. The chart below shows exactly how tightly the ratings cluster.
The highest-scored practices in Redmond
The table below ranks Redmond’s leading offices by their Dental.me Score, with ties broken by the number of reviews behind that score. Three practices hold a perfect 5.0, and the next three sit at 4.9 with review counts that run into the hundreds. Click any name to open its full profile.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gilmore Dental | 5.0 | 779 | View profile |
| Denise Hicks | 5.0 | 319 | View profile |
| Jade L Cherrington DDS PC | 5.0 | 316 | View profile |
| Michael Carreon | 4.9 | 787 | View profile |
| Greggery Jones | 4.9 | 728 | View profile |
| Janell Ginsburg | 4.9 | 327 | View profile |
Notice how close the top of the list is. Gilmore Dental takes the top spot on a perfect 5.0 carried by 779 reviews, but Michael Carreon actually holds the single largest review count in the city at 787 while sitting one tenth of a point below. When two practices are separated by a rounding margin, the deciding factor is usually practical rather than statistical: who is taking new patients, who accepts your insurance, and who can see you this week. The full Redmond dental directory lists all 38 offices if none of the top six lines up with your needs.
What a website URL on file does and does not tell you
Twenty-five of Redmond’s 38 practices have a website URL recorded, which is roughly two of every three offices in town. That share is a convenience signal, not a quality signal. A recorded URL usually means you can check services, verify parking near downtown, or book online without a phone call, and the chart below shows how the split falls.
The important caveat: a blank in this column records only that no website URL is on file. It says nothing about whether the practice keeps regular hours, answers its phone, or runs a polished operation. Some of Redmond’s most-reviewed offices are old-fashioned in exactly this way, taking bookings by phone and letting their score speak for them. Treat the URL as a shortcut when it exists and reach for the phone when it does not.
Why review volume decides how much to trust a score
A 5.0 built on eight reviews and a 5.0 built on eight hundred are not the same claim. The first can swing on a single bad afternoon; the second is averaged across a hundred times as many, so the same review barely registers. Redmond’s scored practices carry 6,179 reviews between them, which works out to an average of roughly 281 per office, an unusually deep base for a city this size. The chart below shows the review counts standing behind the top six scores.
Read this alongside the ratings. Gilmore Dental and Michael Carreon are not just highly rated; they are highly rated after nearly 800 reviews each, which is about as settled as a local score gets. Denise Hicks and Jade L Cherrington DDS PC hold perfect 5.0 marks on lighter volume in the low 300s, still a substantial record but one that leaves a little more room to move. Neither profile is better in the abstract; a deep 4.9 and a lighter 5.0 simply answer slightly different questions about consistency.
Matching a practice to what you actually need
Redmond’s practices spread across the common specialties well enough that most residents can stay in town for care that other communities send to a bigger city. Cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening are the most widely offered, and emergency and implant services are each available at nearly a dozen offices, which matters in a place where a cracked tooth on a weekend hike should not require a drive down US-97.
If you know what you came for, jump straight to a filtered list. Sixteen offices handle cosmetic dentistry in Redmond, eleven are equipped for emergency dental care in Redmond, and another eleven place dental implants in Redmond. Families should note the nine offices offering pediatric care, and the five periodontists in town cover the gum and foundation work that keeps implants and bridges viable. Because so many practices overlap on these services, availability and location usually decide the choice for you rather than a shortage of options.
New to Central Oregon, or driving in from a neighboring town
Redmond’s location makes it a natural hub for the smaller communities around it, and plenty of patients cross town or county lines for a well-reviewed chair. If you are closer to another Central Oregon town, or willing to widen the search, the surrounding directories are one click away. The largest neighboring market is covered in the Bend dental directory just fifteen miles south, while the Prineville dental directory and the Sisters dental directory serve the communities east and west. Weighing a Redmond office against one of these is reasonable when a specialty is thin nearer to home, but with 22 scored practices averaging 4.87 inside Redmond itself, most residents will find their match without leaving the city.
How the Dental.me Score works
Every score on this page is earned, never purchased. The Dental.me Score weighs a practice’s rating, the volume of feedback behind that rating, and whether the office’s details have been confirmed, among other signals, so that a deep, consistent record outranks a thin or volatile one. That is why review volume sits beside every rating in the tables above: the two numbers are meant to be read together. The only thing money can influence is a Featured placement, which is labeled as such and never changes the score a practice has earned. When you compare Redmond’s offices here, you are comparing the same evidence for each one, then adding the practical details, insurance, hours, and location, that only you can weigh.
