Dental.me lists 28 dental practices in Shakopee, MN. 14 carry a Google rating, and those 14 average 4.60 stars across 2,153 reviews. Start with the table below, then match an office to the service you need.
How Shakopee’s dentist numbers break down
Of the 28 practices Dental.me lists in Shakopee, 14 carry a Google rating; Dental.me does not record why the other 14 have none. Seven of the rated offices sit at 4.8 stars or above, two land in the 4.5 to 4.79 range, four fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and one sits below 4.0. Dental.me holds a phone number for all 28 and posted hours for 14 of the 28.
Half the rated offices sit at 4.8 or higher, so the star number alone separates few of them. Look at how many reviews stand behind each rating as well: a 4.9 on 496 reviews and a 5.0 on 17 are different amounts of evidence, and the sections below give both figures side by side. A rating is not a measure of clinical quality.
The top six Shakopee offices by Dental.me Score
The table lists the six Shakopee offices at the top of the Dental.me Score, sorted here by Google rating and then by review count. Each row links to the office’s Dental.me profile, where you can see the services it lists and its contact details.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crossings Dental Care | 5.0 | 193 | View profile |
| Riverside Valley Dental Care | 4.9 | 496 | View profile |
| Cities Dentistry, PA | 4.9 | 429 | View profile |
| Nathan Hanson | 4.9 | 255 | View profile |
| Kuhr Dental Group | 4.9 | 124 | View profile |
| Gentle Dentistry of Minnesota, Ltd | 4.7 | 139 | View profile |
Crossings Dental Care shows the highest Google rating in the table, 5.0 on 193 reviews; two other Shakopee offices also show 5.0, on 17 reviews and on one. Riverside Valley Dental Care holds the most reviews in Shakopee (496, at 4.9) and ranks first by Dental.me Score, followed by Cities Dentistry, PA (4.9 on 429). By review count, the six largest offices are Riverside Valley, Cities Dentistry, Nathan Hanson (4.9 on 255), Metro Dentalcare Shakopee (4.4 on 200), Crossings Dental Care and Gentle Dentistry of Minnesota (4.7 on 139); together they hold 1,712 of the 2,153 reviews (80%). Metro Dentalcare Shakopee is not in the table. When two offices post the same star average, the one with more reviews rests on more people.
Website coverage across Shakopee practices
Of the 28 Shakopee practices Dental.me lists, 13 (46%) have a website URL on file, where you can check what an office says about its services and insurance before you call. The other 15 have no website URL on file; their Dental.me profile carries a phone number.
A missing website says nothing about the care. Two rated Shakopee offices have no website on file, Dr. James Arhart (5.0 on 17) and Eckart Dental Center (5.0 on one review); all six offices in the table have one.
Matching a Shakopee dentist to your specific need
Once you have a shortlist, narrow it by the treatment you need. Dental.me lists 9 Shakopee offices on the dental implant list (three of them carry no Google rating), 8 on the cosmetic dentist list and the same 8 on the teeth whitening list, 7 on the periodontist list and 6 on the pediatric list. The orthodontist and Invisalign lists hold the same four offices, the emergency list holds 4, and the endodontist, oral-surgeon and denture lists hold 2 each. No Shakopee office is on the prosthodontist list. 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.
Riverside Valley Dental Care and Crossings Dental Care, first and third by Dental.me Score, are on none of the twelve service lists, and Kuhr Dental Group is on the cosmetic and whitening lists only, so ask those offices what they offer. Cities Dentistry, PA and Nathan Hanson are on nine lists each.
How the Dental.me Score orders Shakopee practices
The star rating you see on each Shakopee profile and in this guide is the Google rating on file. The Dental.me Score is a separate figure, earned rather than sold, 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 sets the order you see practices in, and it can rank an office with more reviews above one with a higher rating: Riverside Valley Dental Care (4.9 on 496) ranks first and Crossings Dental Care (5.0 on 193) third.
Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order. No office can pay to raise its Score. You can see every Shakopee office on the Shakopee dentist directory hub.
Looking just beyond Shakopee
If the 28 Shakopee practices do not include the fit you need, three neighbouring Dental.me directories are linked from this guide: Chaska (25 practices, 12 rated), Chanhassen (25 practices, 11 rated), Prior Lake (18 practices, 9 rated). Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live. The same Dental.me Score applies in every city, so you can compare offices across them on the same terms.
How to choose your Shakopee dentist
Put the pieces together into a short process. Start with the offices that pair a 4.8-or-higher Google rating with 100 or more reviews; in Shakopee that is five: Riverside Valley Dental Care, Cities Dentistry, PA, Nathan Hanson, Crossings Dental Care and Kuhr Dental Group. Next, check which of them is on the service list you need, remembering that two of the five are on no list at all. Then check whether each finalist has a website URL on file, and open its Dental.me profile for the phone number.
Finally, call two or three offices to ask whether they take your insurance and what the first visit involves. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
