Finding a dentist in Ridgeland, Mississippi starts with a shortlist: the Dental.me directory tracks 36 dental practices here, 27 of them with a Google star rating on file. Those 27 average 4.84 stars (an unweighted average of the ratings) across 3,365 reviews. Start with the highest-rated offices below, confirm your insurance, and book a first cleaning to judge the fit yourself.
How Ridgeland’s dentists stack up at a glance
Ridgeland is a compact Madison County suburb, and its dental market is small enough to read end to end. Of the 36 practices Dental.me lists inside the city, 27 show a Google star rating, and those 27 average 4.84. That is the plain mean of every rated practice in town, not a figure for one office. When you visit the Ridgeland dental directory hub, use 4.84 as your reference point: an office sitting well below it is worth a second look before you commit to a treatment plan.
The distribution matters as much as the average. Twenty-two of the 27 rated offices sit at 4.8 stars or higher, two land in the 4.5–4.79 range, three fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and none drops below 4.0. Six of those 22 rest on 15 or fewer reviews, so read the review count beside each rating.
Highest-rated Ridgeland practices with more than 170 reviews
The table below lists the six practices rated 4.9 or higher with more than 170 reviews, sorted by rating and then by review count. Five of them hold a perfect 5.0 and the sixth a 4.9. Two practices have more reviews than any of them but rate 4.8: Chase Mascaro (554) and Kellie Watts (330). Each name links to its full profile, where you can see the Dental.me Score alongside the office’s review count. The table is sorted by star rating, not by the Score.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smile Straight Orthodontics | 5.0 | 334 | View profile |
| Associated Dental of Ridgeland, PLLC | 5.0 | 323 | View profile |
| Austin Rogers | 5.0 | 287 | View profile |
| Beau Murphey | 5.0 | 220 | View profile |
| Gamblin Orthodontics | 5.0 | 172 | View profile |
| Old Canton Dental Care | 4.9 | 264 | View profile |
Two of these six, Smile Straight Orthodontics and Gamblin Orthodontics, are orthodontic practices by name, and Austin Rogers is also on Ridgeland’s orthodontist list. If you are looking for general and family dentistry, check each profile’s listed services before you call.
What 3,365 reviews across the city tell you
Ridgeland’s rated offices have gathered 3,365 reviews between them, and that volume is concentrated. The six practices in the table account for 1,600 of them, about 48 percent. The spread is wide: seven of the 15 perfect-5.0 holders have 100 or more reviews, while six have 15 or fewer. A high review count makes a star rating a steadier average, and a 5.0 built on 334 reviews, as at Smile Straight Orthodontics, carries more weight than a perfect score resting on a handful.
When you compare two Ridgeland offices, don’t stop at the star number. An office at 4.9 across 264 reviews has effectively earned its score across a much wider sample than a 5.0 with 40, and in a city where the top rungs are this crowded, review depth is often the tiebreaker that separates otherwise identical candidates.
Reaching a Ridgeland office and what the website data covers
Of Ridgeland’s 36 listed practices, 23 have a website URL on file with Dental.me, roughly two in three. A website lets you check services and insurance before you call. For the remaining 13 with no website URL on file, the profile page is your starting point; call ahead to ask whether they are accepting new patients and which insurance plans they file directly. Treat the website count as a convenience signal, not a quality one: the absence of a URL in our records says nothing about how a practice runs.
Specialty care available in Ridgeland
Ridgeland’s category pages list eight practices for dental implants and seven orthodontists. Seven practices are listed as periodontists and seven for teeth whitening, while the cosmetic, pediatric, and endodontic lists each hold six practices.
Browse the ones most people search for first: dental implant providers in Ridgeland and the city’s orthodontists. Each specialty page filters the directory down so you compare like with like instead of scrolling past general practices you don’t need.
Looking just beyond Ridgeland
Ridgeland sits inside a cluster of Jackson-metro communities, so if the right specialist isn’t here, nearby hubs are worth a look. Madison lies directly to the north (45 listings, 25 rated), Jackson to the south has the widest selection (167 listings, 65 rated), and Flowood lies to the southeast (38 listings, 27 rated). Each links to its own directory hub, so you can compare a nearby office against Ridgeland’s 4.84 average. Dental.me holds no appointment-availability data, so ask each office about its soonest opening.
How to choose your Ridgeland dentist
Put the numbers to work in order. First, shortlist from the table above and confirm the office takes your insurance; in a city where 22 of 27 rated practices are at 4.8 stars or higher, insurance fit and location will usually decide more than a tenth of a star. Second, weigh rating against review count so you trust ratings backed by real volume. Third, match specialty to need using the category pages. Finally, book a cleaning or consult and judge the front desk and the dentist’s willingness to explain a plan in person. Start at the Ridgeland hub and work down your shortlist.
