Dental.me lists 44 dental practices in Waterford, and 31 of them carry a Google rating. Those 31 rated offices hold 6,406 Google reviews between them, an average of about 207 each, but the reviews are not spread evenly: the median rated office has 140, and seven rest on 14 or fewer. A review count is a sample size, not a measure of clinical quality.
Every listed practice is on the Dental.me Waterford dentist hub. This guide explains what the ratings and review counts can and cannot tell you, which offices lead the Dental.me Score order, and how to narrow 44 options to a short list to call.
How much review data Waterford has
Of the 44 practices, 31 carry a Google rating, about seven in ten. The other 13 are listed without a rating; Dental.me does not record why, and a missing rating does not place an office above or below a rated one. Nine Waterford offices hold 4.8 or higher on 200 or more reviews, so for those a small difference in stars rests on a large sample. For an office on a dozen reviews, one or two reviews can move the average noticeably.
When you compare two Waterford dentists, read the rating and the review count together. Dental.me holds a phone number for all 44 practices and posted weekly hours for 25 of them, so the profile is the place to check the practical details before you call.
The Score leaders and the largest review counts
The two largest review counts in Waterford sit almost a full star apart. Deluxe Dental Associates 10 has the most reviews in town, 821, at a 4.0 rating, and Michigan Dental PC is next with 795 reviews at 4.9. John Cushing (4.9, 660), Marvin S. Taylor DDS PC (3.9, 538) and Jeffrey Ingber (4.8, 498) follow. Michigan Dental PC and John Cushing are also first and second in the Dental.me Score order.
The rest of the Score top six are Killinger & Vander Beek (4.9, 369 reviews), Daniela Naumovski (4.9, 347), Kapadia Dental Care (5.0, 252) and Stannard and Studt Dentistry PC (4.9, 276). Kapadia holds the largest review count among Waterford’s five offices at 5.0; the next is Suha Aljuneidi PLLC on 131.
All six Score leaders are rated 4.9 or higher, so the order between them comes down mostly to how many reviews stand behind each rating. Dental.me holds no review dates, so a larger count does not tell you how long an office has been collecting reviews or how recent they are. The six largest review counts in town hold 3,681 of the 6,406 reviews (57%).
How the whole town rates, not just the top
Averages hide the shape of a market, so here is the full distribution. Of Waterford’s 31 rated practices, 19 sit at 4.8 or above. Another 6 fall in the 4.5–4.79 range, 4 in the 4.0–4.49 range and 2 below 4.0. The two largest review counts are in the lower bands: Deluxe Dental Associates 10 at 4.0 on 821 reviews and Marvin S. Taylor DDS PC at 3.9 on 538. The other office below 4.0 rests on five reviews.
With 19 of 31 rated offices at 4.8 or higher, the useful question is often which office fits your need rather than which to avoid: location, hours, the procedure you need and whether the office takes your insurance. A rating is a summary of Google reviews, not a measure of clinical quality, so read a few recent reviews and ask your questions before you book.
Waterford’s service lists
Dental.me sorts Waterford practices onto 12 service lists. The teeth whitening and cosmetic dentistry lists hold the same 16 offices, and emergency dentists holds 15. Dental implants holds 12, periodontists 10 and pediatric dentists 8. The orthodontists and Invisalign lists hold the same seven offices. Dentures holds 7, endodontists 5, and oral surgeons and prosthodontists one each. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
A place on a list is not a measure of how much of that work an office does. None of the seven offices on the orthodontists list has orthodontics in its name, and two of them are unrated; one of the five on the endodontists list carries endodontics in its name; and two of the eight on the pediatric list carry pediatric or kids in their names. The oral surgeons list holds only Jeffrey Ingber. Nineteen of the 44 practices are on no service list, so confirm the procedure when you call.
How to actually choose your Waterford dentist
With 44 practices to compare, work through it in order:
- Start with the reason you’re booking. A once-a-year cleaning and a full-mouth implant plan call for different offices. Filter first by whether you need general care or a specific specialty — the Waterford hub lets you narrow by both.
- Weight the review count, not just the star rating. A 4.9 across 600+ reviews (like Michigan Dental PC or John Cushing) rests on a much larger sample than a 5.0 across a dozen. Neither number measures clinical quality.
- Check for a website. 23 of the 44 practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me, all of them rated, so for the other 21 the phone is the way to check hours, insurance and new-patient details. Dental.me holds no online-booking data.
- Confirm insurance and out-of-pocket cost before your first visit. Ratings don’t tell you what a crown will run. 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.
