Tupelo’s 35 rated practices hold 8,404 Google reviews between them, an average of about 240 per office. A few large counts pull that average up: the six largest hold 5,207 of the 8,404, about 62%, and the median rated office has 80. Premier Dental alone holds 1,396.

Across the Tupelo dentist directory we track 46 practices, of which 35 carry a Google rating; the other 11 are listed without one, and Dental.me does not record why. The 35 ratings average 4.76 stars. Twenty-five of the 35 score 4.8 or higher, more than seven in ten, though eight of those 25 rest on seven reviews or fewer.

Who sits at the top — and why the reviews matter here

A rating is only as informative as the number of reviews behind it. Thirteen rated Tupelo rows hold a 5.0, and eight of those rest on seven reviews or fewer; a 4.9 on more than a thousand reviews rests on far more. Read the two numbers together before you book.

Premier Dental has the largest review count in Tupelo: a 4.9 on 1,396 Google reviews. Roberts & Garza Orthodontics holds a 4.9 on 814; its name says orthodontics, but on Dental.me it appears on the emergency dentist list, not the orthodontist list, so ask the office what it offers. Tupelo Smiles Family and Cosmetic Dentistry holds a 5.0 on 695 reviews and is first in the Dental.me Score order, and Sharon Elise Young DMD a 5.0 on 510. Bishop & Gililland (4.9, 369 reviews) and Michael Monroe DMD (4.9, 269 reviews) complete the Score top six.

Notice the spread: two of those six hold a 5.0 on several hundred reviews, and four hold a 4.9 on 269 to 1,396. A tenth of a star says little about clinical quality, so neither kind is strictly better. The two largest counts outside the six are Affordable Dentures & Implants (4.6 on 1,067) and North Mississippi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates (4.8 on 621).

It is also worth reading past the star number. Dental.me holds each office’s rating and review count, not the review text, so if a concern matters to you, such as sedation for an anxious patient or how billing is handled, read the written reviews on Google and ask the office directly. Dental.me holds no review dates, so check how recent the reviews you read are.

How Tupelo’s ratings actually break down

Averages hide the shape of a market. Here is the distribution of the 35 rated practices. The two below 4.0, CHILDREN’S DENTAL CLINIC, PA (3.9 on 7 reviews) and OXFORD MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY, INC. (3.5 on 11), hold 18 reviews between them, so both ratings rest on small samples.

With 25 of 35 rated offices at 4.8 or higher, the rating alone separates few of them. The review count beside each rating, and the services each office lists, will do more of the sorting.

Tupelo service lists

Dental.me groups Tupelo practices into 12 service lists. The longest is dental implants (12 practices), followed by periodontists (10) and teeth whitening (10). Every practice on the cosmetic list (9) is also on the whitening list; orthodontists list 8, pediatric dentists 6, endodontists and dentures 5 each, emergency dentists and oral surgeons 4 each, and the Invisalign and prosthodontist lists are empty. A list shows which offices list a service, not how much of that work each one does: general practices such as Affordable Dentures & Implants and Jones James a DDS appear on the periodontist list.

If you are researching a specific procedure, start at the specialty view rather than the general list. Tupelo has dedicated pages for dental implants, periodontists, orthodontists, pediatric dentists, cosmetic dentistry, and endodontists (root canals). Each one filters the field to the offices that list that service — a faster path than reading 46 profiles hoping one mentions what you need.

If you are planning tooth replacement, the implant list gives you 12 offices to compare, including all four on the oral surgeon list, so you can ask more than one office for a written treatment plan. For families, the pediatric list has six practices and the orthodontist list eight, two of them unrated.

A four-step way to choose, tuned to what Tupelo offers

With most rated offices near the top of the scale, the steps below put the services you need and the review count ahead of the rating itself.

One practical note on step three: 33 of Tupelo’s 46 practices have a website URL on file, so for most of them you can check hours, services and forms before you pick up the phone. The 13 without one are not necessarily worse; they will just take a call to check. Dental.me holds a phone number for all 46 and posted weekly hours for 31. Dental.me does not publish prices, and our national guide to dental costs gives no price ranges either; it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials), so ask each office for a written, itemised estimate.

When you do make that confirming call, keep it short and specific: ask whether they are accepting new patients, whether they take your plan, and roughly how far out the next hygiene appointment books. A wait, short or long, says nothing on its own about the care, and Dental.me holds no appointment data, so the office is the only source for it.
