Of the 209 practices Dental.me lists in Tustin, 136 have a Google rating stored. Together those rated offices account for 15,757 Google reviews — about 116 per rated practice on average, although only 39 of the 136 carry 100 or more, and three offices hold about a third of the total between them. The other 73 practices have no stored rating. This guide sets out what those numbers can and cannot tell you, and how to turn the directory into a short list worth calling.
The directory at a glance
A website is on file for 119 of the 209 practices (57%). The split follows the ratings closely: 110 of the 136 rated practices have a website on file, but only 9 of the 73 unrated ones do. Dental.me holds no Google rating for those 73 offices and does not record why, so an absent rating says nothing about the quality of care in either direction. What it does mean is less to compare before you call — an office with neither a rating nor a website on file is one you will learn about mainly by phone or through its Dental.me listing. A missing website in our records does not mean the office has none.
What the ratings say, and what they don’t
The stored ratings average 4.76 stars, and most of the rated group sits at the top of the scale: 97 of the 136 rated practices (71%) hold 4.8 or higher. Below that, 14 (10%) sit between 4.5 and 4.79 and 22 (16%) between 4.0 and 4.49. Only 3 (2%) sit below 4.0, and each of those three ratings rests on ten or fewer reviews.
Review depth varies a great deal inside those bands. Of the 67 Tustin listings holding a stored 5.0, 33 rest on ten or fewer reviews — and those 33 are the only ratings of 4.8 or higher resting on so few. In the 4.0–4.49 band, 10 of the 22 ratings rest on ten or fewer reviews. A perfect score on a handful of reviews and a 4.9 on several hundred are different amounts of evidence, and a rating moves easily when there are only a few reviews behind it, so read the two numbers together. For how rating and review depth combine into one Score, see how Dental.me ranks practices.
Where the review volume sits
Three offices hold 5,324 of Tustin’s 15,757 Google reviews (34%), and all three hold a stored 5.0: OC Max Surgery with 2,337 reviews, David A. Meloni D.D.S. Professional Corp. with 1,634 and Dean Azzeh, DDS Inc. with 1,353. They are also the three highest Dental.me Scores in the city. After them the counts drop sharply: Rafi Dental Group (4.6 stars, 518 reviews) and Tustin Smiles (4.8, 373) are next, and no other Tustin office has more than 369.
The rest of the Score top five are Marta Rudat DDS Cosmetic and Family Dentist (5.0, 353 reviews) and Jae Hee Kwak DMD Inc (5.0, 319), which share the same Score; Rudat sits fourth because tied Scores are ordered by review count. Among offices at 4.9, the most reviewed are Experience Dental Implants of Orange County (369), Ahmed Elgazar (345) and Ashok S. Mehta, DDS, Inc. (332). A rating and review count are a record of what Google reviewers posted, not a measure of clinical quality or of how busy an office is; they are a reasonable way to narrow a list, and what those reviewers actually wrote is worth reading before you call. Every office above has a full profile on the Tustin dentist hub.
What Tustin’s service pages list
Dental.me groups each city’s practices into service pages. A listing on a service page means the practice’s profile is associated with that service; it is not a board certification, and it does not tell you how much of that work an office does. In Tustin the longest page is dental implants (60 practices), followed by teeth whitening (47), cosmetic dentistry (46) and periodontics (45). The Invisalign and orthodontics pages each list 36.
The emergency dental care page lists 29 practices, oral surgery 22, endodontics (root canals) 19, pediatric dentistry 18, dentures 14 and prosthodontics 5. These counts are practice profiles, not a headcount of specialists. Dental.me does not hold appointment availability, after-hours coverage or insurance participation, so whichever page you start from, call to confirm that the office performs the specific procedure you need, is taking new patients and works with your plan. For an urgent problem, it is worth saving the number of an emergency-listed office and confirming its hours before you need it.
A way to narrow the list
With most rated offices at 4.8 or above, stars alone do little to narrow the field, so work in layers:
Start with the service page that matches what you need. Then weight each rating by its review count, and read a sample of the reviews themselves for the things you care about — a rating cannot tell you how an office will handle your particular case. Confirm insurance participation and whether the office is taking new patients before you book, and when two finalists still look alike, let location and scheduling decide. 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.
Just outside Tustin
If you live near the edge of Tustin, a neighbouring city’s list may be closer to home. Santa Ana, Irvine, Orange and Fountain Valley each have their own Dental.me directory. The North Tustin and Villa Park pages list only a practice or two, so check them alongside Tustin’s rather than instead of it.
When you’re ready, the full list of every Tustin office lives on the Tustin dentist directory; start there and shortlist three offices that fit your needs, your plan and your commute.
