How the scorecard works
Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated the practice. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from nearly a thousand reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from fewer. Recency shows how recently reviews are still arriving. No business can pay to change these numbers.
What affects dental costs in Modesto
None of these practices publishes a fee schedule in the data we reviewed, so we’re not quoting figures. Costs depend mostly on the treatment, your insurance plan and whether the office is in network. Ask for a written treatment plan with itemized costs, and ask about financing, since one reviewer mentions Allure takes CareCredit and Cherry.
