Dentists in Zanesville, OH: Local Guide

Quick answer: Zanesville, OH has 56 dental practices in the Dental.me directory. 27 are rated on Google, averaging 4.49★ across 3,201 reviews. Top by independent Dental.me Score: Michael Sulens, Jeffrey A. Labishak D.D.S., Inc., Brian J Waggle DDS Inc. Compare them below and shortlist two or three near you to call.

Of the 56 Zanesville practices Dental.me lists, 27 carry a Google rating. 19 of those 27 sit at 4.8 stars or higher, none sit between 4.5 and 4.79, four sit between 4.0 and 4.49, and four sit below 4.0. That is not two equal clusters: most rated practices are in the top band. What the bands do not show is how many reviews stand behind each rating, and in Zanesville that varies a lot: 16 of the 27 rated practices have fewer than 20 reviews.

The 27 rated offices among the 56 Dental.me tracks inside Zanesville carry 3,201 Google reviews, and the town-wide average lands at 4.49 stars. That average is a plain average of the 27 ratings, and it sits below most of them: the four ratings under 4.0 (3.5, 3.4, 3.0 and 1.0) pull it down, and together they rest on 38 reviews. Below, we show where the ratings fall, which practices have the most reviews, and how to compare offices in a town where 21 of the 56 practices have a website URL on file.

Where Zanesville’s 27 ratings fall

Nineteen rated practices have a Google rating of 4.8 or better. Zero land in the 4.5–4.79 range. Four sit between 4.0 and 4.49, and four fall below 4.0.

Why does the gap exist at all? Our data cannot say. With only 27 rated offices, one or two practices more or fewer in a band changes its shape. What it does mean in practice is that in Zanesville, “4.5 or higher” and “4.8 or higher” pick out the same 19 practices.

The 19 practices at 4.8 or better are not equally documented. Seven of them have 71 or more reviews; the other 12 rest on 24 or fewer, and seven of those on 3 or fewer. A 5.0 on two reviews and a 5.0 on 440 reviews look the same on the page, so read the review count next to every rating. Start with the Zanesville dentist directory, then compare specialty fit and review count, and call the offices on your shortlist.

The practices with the most reviews

The six practices below are the most-reviewed of the 19 rated 4.8 or better. Across all ratings, the second most-reviewed practice in Zanesville is Okezie Chimere DDS (4.4, 602 reviews), which sits in the 4.0–4.49 band and so is not on this list. Those seven practices hold 2,982 of the city’s 3,201 Google reviews, about 93%.

• Michael Sulens — 5.0 across 440 reviews.
• Jeffrey A. Labishak, D.D.S. — 5.0 across 305 reviews.
• Brian J. Waggle, DDS — 4.9 stars over 388 reviews, the fourth-largest review count in town.
• Adeel Khan — the town’s most-reviewed practice. At 4.8 stars across 842 reviews, this single practice holds roughly one in every four reviews written about dentists in Zanesville.
• Hawkins Complete Dental Service — 4.9 stars over 222 reviews.
• Dorosti Family Dental — 4.9 stars across 183 reviews.

Five of the six sit at 4.9 or 5.0, and Adeel Khan sits at 4.8 on the largest review count. A review count tells you how many people left a rating, not how big the office is or how good the dentistry is, so use it to judge how much weight a rating can bear, then check specialty fit, insurance and location with the office.

What Zanesville can and can’t do close to home

A rating is only half the question. The other half is whether the specialty you need is actually available in town, or whether you will need to look in a nearby town. Dental.me does not measure drive times, so check each address against your route. More Zanesville practices are listed for everyday and cosmetic work than for surgical and specialist work, where the counts are smaller but not zero.

Read this as a coverage map. Everyday and cosmetic care has the most listings: whitening is listed at 13 offices, cosmetic dentistry at 12, and dental implants at 11. There are also nine pediatric offices and eight each for braces and Invisalign. The scarcer categories — seven periodontists, six emergency dentists, and just five endodontists — are worth looking up before you need them. Fewer still are listed for dentures (4), oral surgery (3) and prosthodontics (1). An emergency listing does not tell you an office’s hours or whether it can see you that day, so call to ask.

The website problem, and how to work around it

Here is a wrinkle: only 21 of the 56 offices — about 38 percent — have a website URL on file. That does not mean the other 35 have no site; it means the directory has not confirmed one, and 26 of those 35 also have no Google rating. All 56 have a phone number on file and posted hours are on file for 21, so for an office with no URL or rating, a phone call is the way to ask about services and insurance. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.

When you call, ask the questions that matter to you: whether the office takes your insurance, what a new-patient exam includes, and how it prices a filling. 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.

If you’d rather look just outside town

For some specialties or a second opinion, nearby towns have their own Dental.me listings: Newark (38 practices), Cambridge (18), Coshocton (9), Heath (5), New Lexington (3), New Concord (1) and Thornville (1). Dental.me does not measure drive times, so check each address against your route.

In short: 19 of Zanesville’s 27 rated practices sit at 4.8 or above, but 12 of those 19 rest on 24 or fewer reviews. Start with the full Zanesville dentist directory, weigh each rating against its review count, and call two or three offices before you book. Curious how we score and rank every office?
