How the numbers describe Richmond’s dental market
Dental.me lists 34 dental practices in Richmond. Twenty-two of them have a Google rating, and those 22 average 4.41 stars. The other 12 have no Google reviews at all, so they are unmeasured, not judged. Seventeen of the 34 have a website on file, 17 have posted hours on file, and all 34 have a phone number. The ratings are uneven in depth: the median rated office has six reviews, and only six rated offices have more than 100.
A 4.41 average is an aggregate, and averages hide the tails. Three offices show 4.9 on 274 to 1,068 reviews, while the three ratings below 4.0 rest on three reviews or fewer each. The sections below break the field into rating bands, name the largest review records and the Dental.me Score order, and show which service lists hold Richmond practices, so you can move from a citywide number to a short list.
The highest-scoring practices in Richmond
The table below lists six Richmond practices, sorted by Google rating with review count breaking ties. They are also the six highest Dental.me Scores in Richmond, in a different order: the Score, built mainly from a practice’s Google rating and the depth of reviews behind it, with a small lift for an office that verifies its listing, puts Adrienne Childress first, MADISON DENTAL DRE PLLC second, Rodney Coleman third, BLUEGRASS PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY fourth, SUSAN A. VANSTONE DMD, PSC fifth and Mark Stephens sixth. The table is not every rated office: KENTUCKY CENTER FOR ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY PSC (4.6 on 382 reviews, the fourth-largest record) and eight other 5.0s are not in it. Ratings and review counts are the Google figures shown on each Dental.me profile, and a 5.0 on 68 reviews and a 4.9 on 1,068 tell you different things about how settled each rating is.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mark Stephens | 5.0 | 68 | View profile |
| Adrienne Childress | 4.9 | 1,068 | View profile |
| Madison Dental Dre PLLC | 4.9 | 499 | View profile |
| Rodney Coleman | 4.9 | 274 | View profile |
| Bluegrass Pediatric Dentistry | 4.8 | 578 | View profile |
| Susan a. Vanstone DMD, Psc | 4.8 | 248 | View profile |
A few patterns are worth calling out. Adrienne Childress holds the largest review record in Richmond at 1,068, so one new review barely moves that 4.9. Mark Stephens shows 5.0 on 68 reviews, the most behind any of Richmond’s nine 5.0 ratings; the other eight rest on 39 reviews or fewer, seven of them on six or fewer. Bluegrass Pediatric Dentistry (4.8 on 578) holds the second-largest record and is one of seven offices on the pediatric list.
Reading Richmond’s rating bands
Averages are useful, but the shape of the distribution tells you more. Among Richmond’s 22 rated practices, 14 sit at 4.8 or higher, 2 fall in the 4.5 to 4.79 range, 3 land between 4.0 and 4.49, and 3 sit below 4.0. In other words, roughly two-thirds of the rated offices in town are top-band practices, which is why the citywide average lands as high as it does.
The practical takeaway: seven of the 14 top-band ratings rest on six or fewer reviews, so a 4.8 or higher alone tells you little here. Read the review count beside every rating. The three ratings below 4.0 (2.3, 3.0 and 1.0) rest on three, one and one reviews, so they are thin evidence either way; open the reviews on Google to see what they describe.
Websites, review volume, and what the data does and doesn’t tell you
Two more numbers round out the picture. Of Richmond’s 34 practices, 17 have a website URL on file with Dental.me, and the 22 rated practices hold 3,234 Google reviews between them. Neither figure is a verdict on care quality, but both change how you research.
Exactly half of Richmond’s practices have a website URL on file. Sixteen of the 17 are rated offices, and the other one has no reviews. For the 17 without a URL, your first research step is a phone call or the office’s Dental.me profile. The absence of a URL says nothing about whether an office is good; it only records that Dental.me does not have a website link stored.
The 3,234 reviews are heavily concentrated. The six largest records hold 3,049 of them (94 percent): Adrienne Childress (1,068), BLUEGRASS PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY (578), MADISON DENTAL DRE PLLC (499), KENTUCKY CENTER FOR ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY PSC (382), Rodney Coleman (274) and SUSAN A. VANSTONE DMD, PSC (248). The other 16 rated offices hold 185 together.
Childress alone holds about a third (33 percent) of the Google reviews on Richmond’s rated practices. A smaller office with a lower count is not automatically weaker; it simply has a thinner sample. Read review count as a measure of how many opinions stand behind a rating, not as a measure of quality.
What the service lists show in Richmond
All twelve of Dental.me’s service lists hold at least one Richmond practice. Pediatric dentists list seven; teeth whitening, cosmetic dentists and dental implants six each, and the whitening and cosmetic lists are the same six offices; periodontists, orthodontists and Invisalign four each, and the orthodontist and Invisalign lists are the same four; emergency dentists three; dentures two; and endodontists, oral surgeons and prosthodontists one each. Adrienne Childress, the top Dental.me Score, is on none, so check its profile and call. A place on a list shows what an office lists, not how often it does that work, so ask whether the office does your procedure itself.
Each list has its own page, so you can compare only the offices on it. The pediatric list includes BLUEGRASS PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY (4.8 on 578), SUSAN A. VANSTONE DMD, PSC (4.8 on 248) and Mark Stephens (5.0 on 68). The only office on the oral-surgeon list is KENTUCKY CENTER FOR ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY PSC (4.6 on 382), which is also on the implant list. The endodontist list holds one office, rated 1.0 on a single review. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you. Browse the full field any time on the Richmond dentist directory.
Nearby places with their own directories
Three nearby places have their own Dental.me directories: Berea (16 practices, 6 rated), Winchester (23 practices, 14 rated), Mc Kee (2 practices, 1 rated). Together they list 41 practices, and Winchester alone lists 23. Each applies the same rating, review and service-list structure used here. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.
How to actually choose a dentist in Richmond
Put the pieces together into a short, repeatable process. Start with the 22 rated practices rather than the full 34, since a Google rating means there is at least some feedback to weigh. Narrow to the top band, where 14 of those offices sit at 4.8 or higher, then read the review count beside each one: seven of the 14 rest on six or fewer reviews. Match your need to the service lists above, and confirm hours, insurance, and whether the office is taking new patients by phone or through its Dental.me profile.
The Dental.me Score is built mainly from a practice’s Google rating and the depth of reviews behind it, with a small lift for an office that verifies its listing. It is never sold. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order. Use the Score and the review count to build your short list, and a phone call to settle the practical details before your first appointment in Richmond.
