For scale: 45% of the 85 answer at least half their reviews, and 29% answer nine in ten. Of the reviews we read, the median dental practice has 19 that are more than a month old and still unanswered, and 52% have at least one review of three stars or fewer with no reply under it — the one a customer reads first.
What the top quarter does differently
The 21 dental practices with the highest reply rates against the other 64. Three contrasts, each measured, none of them about star rating:
- They answer most of what comes in. Median reply rate 98% versus 16%.
- They leave no negative review unanswered. 86% of the top quarter have zero unanswered reviews of three stars or fewer, against 36% of the rest.
- Customers keep writing to them. Median reviews a month 6.5 for the top quarter, 5.6 for the rest. Replying does not create reviews on its own — but in this market the dental practices that answer are also the ones customers keep writing to.
How fast reviews arrive
Ranked on Google reviews received per month, among dental practices with at least 50 reviews. Pace is the number that decides how much any one bad review weighs.

What “normal” looks like in Dallas
The typical Dallas dental practice in this audit has 339 Google reviews, a 4.9 rating, answers 34% of them, and receives about 6 a month. Ratings cluster high in almost every local category, which is why this page never ranks on them — the difference customers can actually see is in the replies.
How Oh Local helps a Dallas dental practice
You already hold every customer’s record, so the gap here is never reach — it is the reply. The practices at the top of this page answer nearly everything, answer the negative ones first, and never confirm who was a patient or what was done (how to write one). A review that should not be there has a process too (what Google will and won’t remove).
How it works
- Run the free audit. We read your public Google reviews and replies and send you the numbers: reply rate, the reviews still waiting for an answer, and the oldest of them — with the table on this page to put them beside.
- Claim your page. Pick your listing, and your QR card and short link are ready to print — from your own phone, no onboarding call.
- Get the weekly email. Every new review with its reply drafted, private feedback that came in, and the short list of what to fix on your listing and site.
- Approve, and that’s it. You press approve on the replies you like. The rest — the card, the page, the measuring — runs on its own.

Method

Reply rate = reviews with an owner reply ÷ reviews read. Named lists rank on reply rate (≥ 30 reviews read) and on reviews per month (≥ 50 reviews) — never on rating; equal values share a rank. Listings whose name carries an offer, a claim or a disclaimer are counted but not named. Public data only, read on the date shown; a listing can change any day.
