Finding a good dentist in Stow comes down to reading the numbers, not the ads. Dental.me lists 22 dental practices across this Summit County suburb, 17 of them carrying a public rating that averages 4.24 stars across 2,357 reviews. Start with the highest-rated, review-backed offices below, then match a specialty to your need.
The shape of dental care in Stow
Stow is a Summit County suburb in the greater Akron area. Dental.me lists 22 practices here: enough to compare, and few enough to read through in full.
Of those 22 practices, 17 carry a Google rating; the other five are listed without one, and Dental.me does not record why. The 17 rated offices hold 2,357 reviews between them and average 4.24 stars, while their median rating is 4.8. The sections below break the field apart by rating band, by review count, and by the service lists.
Nine of the 17 rated offices score 4.8 stars or higher, but three of those nine rest on 8 reviews or fewer (8, 1 and 1). The work is narrowing that shortlist to the office that fits your schedule, your insurance and the care you need.
How Stow’s dentists rate
Dental.me sorts every rated practice into four bands so you can see the distribution at a glance rather than trusting a single blended average. In Stow, nine practices earn 4.8 stars or better, two land in the 4.5-to-4.79 range, three sit between 4.0 and 4.49, and three fall below 4.0. Two of the three below 4.0 are 1.0 ratings resting on a single review each, and they pull the 4.24 average down; the median rating is 4.8.
Read the bands as a filter, not a verdict. The three ratings below 4.0 rest on 13, 1 and 1 reviews, so read the individual reviews before ruling an office out. The largest review record in the city, MAURER AND DENTAL ASSOCIATES OF STOW COMPANY (4.3 on 749), sits in the 4.0-to-4.49 band.
The top six by Dental.me Score
The table below lists the top six Stow practices by Dental.me 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. Every profile links to the full Dental.me listing, with the office’s location and contact details.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stow Dental Group, Inc. | 5.0★ | 501 | View profile |
| Robert Mcelhinney | 4.9★ | 283 | View profile |
| Yvonne Kinkopf | 4.9★ | 191 | View profile |
| David J Harris, D.D.S, M.S.D | 4.9★ | 174 | View profile |
| T Latif LLC | 4.8★ | 279 | View profile |
| Dr. Robert Brandhorst, DDS at CreekSide Family Dentistry | 4.7★ | 75 | View profile |
Two things stand out. First, the largest review count in the city is not in this table: MAURER AND DENTAL ASSOCIATES OF STOW COMPANY holds 749 reviews at 4.3. Stow Dental Group’s 5.0 rests on the second-largest count (501). Second, review count and Score order differ: T Latif LLC (279 reviews) sits fifth by Score, behind three 4.9 offices including David J Harris on 174 reviews. The chart below shows the six largest review counts, which hold 2,177 of the city’s 2,357 reviews (92%).
Website access and how to book
Before you call, it helps to know whether an office publishes a website you can check for hours, forms and appointment requests. Across Stow’s 22 practices, 14 (64%) have a website URL on file with Dental.me and 8 do not; all 22 have a phone number on file, and posted weekly hours are stored for 13.
A missing website URL on file is not a strike against an office; it means no web address is recorded here. Treat the website as a convenience for research, not a rating input, and if a top-band practice has no URL listed, a direct call is the fastest way to reach it.
Cosmetic care and teeth whitening in Stow
Stow’s directory tags practices by service. The cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening lists hold five practices each (the same five); every other list is shorter or empty:
You can browse both lists directly: see every office tagged for cosmetic dentistry in Stow or the practices offering teeth whitening in Stow. The periodontist, endodontist, orthodontist and Invisalign lists hold four each, implants three, and the pediatric, emergency and denture lists one each; the oral surgeon and prosthodontist lists are empty. 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.
Where Stow sits, and nearby options
If the list you need is short or empty here, the neighbouring Summit County directories add more: Munroe Falls lists 4 practices (3 rated), Cuyahoga Falls 38 (23 rated) and Tallmadge 8 (5 rated). Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.
To widen your search, browse the full listings for dentists in Munroe Falls, dentists in Cuyahoga Falls, or dentists in Tallmadge. You can also start from the complete Stow dentist directory, which lists all 22 practices, including the five without a Google rating.
Choosing your Stow dentist, step by step
Put the numbers to work in order. First, pull a shortlist from the top rating band, and check how many reviews each rating rests on. Second, weigh review depth against the star score using the chart above. Third, confirm the specific service you need on the service lists. Fourth, note whether the office has a website URL on file for online research, and if not, plan to call. Finally, ask whether the practice takes your insurance and how soon it can see you. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
Each practice’s 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. The Score cannot be bought; only a Featured placement can be paid for. Use the rating table and charts as a map, then read the reviews on each profile and call the offices you shortlist.
