Reading the scorecard
The numbers here come from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average, and review volume is how many patients have rated the practice. Confidence weighs rating by volume, so a 4.8 on hundreds of reviews carries more weight than a 4.9 on a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently reviews are still arriving. No practice can pay to change these numbers.
What shapes dental costs in Philadelphia
Dental prices vary with the type of care, how complex the case is, whether you use insurance, and whether a specialist is involved. Reviewers on this page describe costs ranging from lower than expected to higher than they were comfortable with, so we haven’t listed figures.
