Finding a good dentist in Stevens Point starts with the numbers: Dental.me lists 36 dental practices here, 20 of them carrying a Google rating, and those rated offices average 4.62 out of 5. Start with the table below, then match a listing to your specific need.
Stevens Point is a central-Wisconsin city in Portage County. This guide works through how the 20 rated listings sort by Google rating, where the largest review counts sit, and which of the 36 carry a rating at all, so you can build a two- or three-name shortlist.
What the 36-practice field really looks like
The headline count is 36 practices, but only 20 of them carry a Google rating. Dental.me holds no rating for the other 16 and does not record why; that does not make them poor choices, it just means there is no rating to compare them on today. Fourteen of those 16 also have no website URL on file. For a first pass, that leaves 20 offices you can compare on Google rating and review count, and their average rating is 4.62 out of 5. Eight of the 20 rated listings rest on 11 reviews or fewer. The 4.62 is a plain average of the 20 ratings, so each of those eight counts as much as Parkdale Dental Center’s 4.9 on 481.
Because the Dental.me Score is earned rather than sold, a high number reflects the pattern in a practice’s ratings and the confirmation signals behind it, not a paid placement. Only Featured slots can be paid for, and they never change the score a practice earns — so when you read the table below, the ranking reflects ratings and confirmation, not who bought visibility.
The rating picture across 20 rated practices
Of the 20 Stevens Point practices with a Google rating, 12 sit in the top 4.8-and-up band, 2 land between 4.5 and 4.79, 4 fall in the 4.0-to-4.49 range, and 2 score below 4.0. More than half of the rated listings clear 4.8. Read the counts inside that band: three of the twelve at 4.8 or above rest on four reviews or fewer, and nine rest on 19 or more. All four in the 4.0-to-4.49 band rest on 16 reviews or fewer. The two below 4.0 are both 3.4s: Noble Community Clinics – Stevens Point on 57 reviews and Tyler Christopherson on five.
Top-scored dental practices in Stevens Point
The table below lists the top six practices by Dental.me Score (the order on the city hub), sorted by Google rating and then by review count. Three of them hold a perfect 5.0 (six listings in the city do; the other three rest on four reviews or fewer), and the records behind them differ: the Center for Dentistry and Orthodontics carries 343 reviews behind its 5.0, while Barton Orthodontics and Excellence Dental reach the same number on far shorter records. Just below them, Parkdale Dental Center posts the single deepest review count in the entire city at 481, and Point Place Dental backs its 4.8 with 383. The result is a top six where the highest score and the deepest review count belong to different offices — which is precisely why you weigh both.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Center for Dentistry and Orthodontics | 5.0 | 343 | View profile |
| Barton Orthodontics LLC | 5.0 | 83 | View profile |
| Excellence Dental of Stevens Point | 5.0 | 78 | View profile |
| Parkdale Dental Center | 4.9 | 481 | View profile |
| Hom Family Dentistry., S.C. | 4.9 | 103 | View profile |
| Point Place Dental, LLC | 4.8 | 383 | View profile |
Reading a perfect score against a long one
A 5.0 built on 78 reviews and a 4.9 built on 481 answer slightly different questions. The shorter record — Excellence Dental of Stevens Point at 78, Barton Orthodontics at 83 — tells you the rating held at 5.0 across a smaller set of reviews. The deeper record — Parkdale Dental Center at 481, Point Place Dental at 383 — tells you the same average held across hundreds of reviews, where one outlier review barely moves the number. Neither is automatically better. When you open the Center for Dentistry and Orthodontics, Parkdale, and Point Place profiles side by side, read the score and the review count as a pair and let your own priorities — more reviews versus a 5.0 on fewer — break the tie.
It is also worth noting that the top six together carry 1,471 reviews, roughly three-quarters of every review in the city. One listing outside the six holds more reviews than three inside it: Brennan Leavitt, a 4.6 on 203. Thomas Westrick (4.9 on 101) sits two reviews behind Hom Family Dentistry’s 103 and is not in the table.
How many practices list a website
Of the 36 practices in the Stevens Point directory, 18 have a website URL on file — exactly half. That matters when you want to check services, new-patient forms, or hours before you pick up the phone, because for the other half you will need the Dental.me profile and a phone call. A website URL on file is not a mark of quality, so treat this purely as a convenience signal about how you will gather the last few details, never as a tiebreaker on care.
The depth behind the reviews
Those 20 rated practices rest on 1,976 reviews in total, and the distribution is lopsided: Parkdale Dental Center at 481 and Point Place Dental at 383 together account for well over 800 reviews, the Center for Dentistry and Orthodontics adds 343, and the remaining rated offices split what is left. The chart below shows the review counts of the top six by Score. It leaves out the city’s fourth-most-reviewed listing, Brennan Leavitt (203).
Specialty care in Stevens Point
Several specialized services have local listings. Across the directory, 8 practices are associated with teeth whitening, 7 with cosmetic dentistry, 6 with dental implants, and 5 with pediatric care — so families looking for a child’s dentist and adults planning an implant or a smile makeover each have several listings to start from. The orthodontics category lists 4, including two of the top six by Score, Barton Orthodontics and the Center for Dentistry and Orthodontics. Invisalign providers and periodontists list 4 each, emergency dentists and oral surgeons 2 each, endodontists and dentures 1 each, and prosthodontists none. A listing in a category does not tell you about wait times or whether an office is taking new patients.
If you are weighing a specific procedure, browse the dedicated lists for teeth whitening in Stevens Point, cosmetic dentists in Stevens Point, and dental implant providers in Stevens Point. Each narrows the field to the offices tied to that work, so you are not scrolling past general-practice listings to find the right fit — 8 listings sit in the whitening category and 6 in implants.
Looking just beyond the city limits
Stevens Point sits among a cluster of Portage, Wood and Marathon County communities, and the neighboring directories are worth a glance if your closest option happens to be across a city line, or if a specialist there fits your schedule better. Plover borders Stevens Point directly to the south, while Wisconsin Rapids and Mosinee open up the wider central-Wisconsin field. Compare listings in Plover, Wisconsin Rapids, and Mosinee when scheduling, insurance, or drive time tips the decision away from an in-city office.
Building your shortlist
Start from the Stevens Point dental directory to see all 36 practices in one place, then use the table above to pull two or three offices, reading each rating together with its review count. Confirm the specialty you need appears on their list, check whether a website URL is on file for a quick pre-visit look at forms and services, and call to verify they are accepting new patients and take your insurance. Then narrow it to the office that fits your needs, your family, and your calendar.
One last practical note: the 5.0s and the largest review counts sit with different listings. The three most-reviewed, Parkdale Dental Center (481), Point Place Dental (383) and the Center for Dentistry and Orthodontics (343), hold 1,207 of the city’s 1,976 reviews (61 percent), while Barton Orthodontics and Excellence Dental of Stevens Point hold their 5.0s on 83 and 78. If you need a specific service, start from its category page rather than the overall list.

Do all Stevens Point dental practices have a website?
No. 18 of the 36 practices have a website URL on file, exactly half the directory. For the other half, check the Dental.me profile and call the office for services and hours. A website URL on file reflects convenience, not care quality.
How does the Dental.me Score work, and can a practice pay for a higher one?
The Score is earned, never sold. It weighs a practice’s rating, its review volume, and office-confirmation signals. Only Featured placement can be paid for, and it does not change the Score a practice earns, so the ranking reflects ratings and reviews rather than ad spend.
Dental.me organizes dental directory data so patients can compare offices with confidence. Use each practice profile and its available website, map, and phone details for current appointment, payment, and care decisions.
