Finding a good dentist in Rolla, Missouri means working through 26 dental practices, of which 14 currently carry a Dental.me Score built from published ratings and review volume. Those rated offices average 4.31 stars, so start with the highest-scoring names in the table below, then confirm each one fits your own family’s specific needs.
Rolla is the seat of Phelps County and the home of Missouri University of Science and Technology, sitting along the Interstate 44 corridor in the northern Ozark foothills. For a city its size, that gives it a denser cluster of dental offices than the surrounding rural counties, and it draws patients from smaller towns up and down the highway. This guide uses only the ratings, review counts, and website records Dental.me has on file for Rolla practices, so every figure below reflects the local market rather than a national average.
A snapshot of dentistry in Rolla
Of the 26 dental practices Dental.me tracks in Rolla, 14 have accumulated enough public feedback to earn a Dental.me Score. That leaves 12 offices that are listed but not yet rated, which usually means they are newer, smaller, or simply have not gathered enough published reviews to score fairly. Across all the rated offices, the average sits at 4.31 stars, and together the city’s practices carry 1,590 reviews on file. When you look at the whole field rather than a single office, Rolla reads as a market with a strong top tier and a modest number of lower-rated outliers you can easily route around.
Website coverage is one of the first practical filters. Ten of Rolla’s 26 practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me, which is where you will usually find hours, new-patient forms, and an online booking link if the office offers one. The remaining 16 have no website URL on file, so for those you will likely be calling the front desk directly to ask about openings and insurance.
The highest-rated dentists in Rolla
The table below ranks the six Rolla practices with the strongest Dental.me Scores, sorted by rating and then by review count. Three offices share a 4.9 rating, separated by how many reviews they have gathered, while the two most-reviewed names in the city both clear 700 and 300 reviews respectively. Use the profile links to see each office’s full record before you call.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| TW Practice Partners Missouri PC | 4.9 | 148 | View profile |
| William Moorkamp | 4.9 | 85 | View profile |
| Brian Haller DMD LLC | 4.9 | 43 | View profile |
| Linda Westmoreland | 4.8 | 283 | View profile |
| Stephanie Hawley | 4.7 | 297 | View profile |
| Forum Dental – Rolla | 4.6 | 706 | View profile |
Rating and review count answer two different questions. A 4.9 tells you how satisfied recent patients have been; a review total like Forum Dental’s 706 tells you how many people have weighed in over time. The chart below shows how the reviews are distributed across these six practices, and why a slightly lower rating backed by hundreds of reviews can be just as reassuring as a near-perfect score from a smaller sample.
Reading Rolla’s rating bands
Grouping the 14 rated practices into rating bands shows how the quality is spread. Seven of them sit at 4.8 stars or higher, which is a healthy top tier for a city of Rolla’s size. Two more land in the 4.5 to 4.79 range, three fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and two rate below 4.0. In plain terms, half of the rated field is excellent, a small middle group is solid, and only two offices are dragging the citywide 4.31 average down. That distribution is why your shortlist can stay in the top band without running out of options.
Dental implants and specialty care
Most of the practices in Rolla are general and family dentists, and the one specialty service that shows up repeatedly in the local records is implant dentistry. Four of the 26 Rolla practices list dental implants among their services, which means you have a real choice locally rather than an automatic referral out of town. If you are weighing an implant, a bridge, or a full-arch restoration, start by comparing those five offices on the dedicated Rolla dental implants directory, then cross-check each one against its Dental.me Score in the table above. Because implant work is planned rather than urgent, it is worth calling two or three of them to compare consultation timing before you commit.
Websites, booking, and what “no URL on file” means
The split between the 10 practices with a website URL on file and the 16 without changes how you should approach each one. For the offices with a listed website, you can often check hours, download new-patient paperwork, and see whether they accept your insurance before you ever pick up the phone. For the 16 with no website URL on file, that record does not mean the office is closed or hard to reach; it simply means Dental.me has no web address stored, so a phone call is your fastest route to current hours and openings. When you call any Rolla office, have your insurance card handy and ask specifically whether they are taking new patients, since a high rating does not guarantee immediate availability. You can see the full, current roster of every practice, rated and unrated alike, on the Rolla dentist directory.
Looking beyond Rolla along the I-44 corridor
Because Rolla anchors a stretch of small Phelps County and Ozark towns, it is worth knowing what sits nearby if you want a second opinion, a shorter drive from a neighboring town, or a specialist your first-choice office refers you to. Just east along Interstate 44 is St James, and continuing east on the same highway brings you to Cuba. To the west toward Fort Leonard Wood is St Robert, and to the north is the Maries County seat of Vienna. Each of these directory hubs lists its own rated and unrated practices, so if Rolla’s top offices are booked out, one of these nearby towns may have earlier availability. For most Rolla residents, though, the 14 rated practices in town, and especially the seven at 4.8 stars or higher, will cover routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, and implant consultations without leaving the city.
How to use the Dental.me Score for your shortlist
The Dental.me Score is earned from a practice’s published record, weighing its star rating, review volume, and office-confirmation signals among other factors; it is never something an office can buy, and only Featured placement can be paid for. For Rolla, that means the seven top-band offices reached their standing through accumulated patient feedback, not advertising. A sensible approach is to pick two or three practices from the table, confirm each is taking new patients, verify they accept your insurance, and choose the one whose location and appointment timing fit your schedule. With 26 practices to draw from and a citywide average of 4.31 stars, most Rolla patients can build a strong shortlist in a single afternoon of phone calls.
