If you’re one of the many new residents who’ve made Oakland their home during its recent population boom, you might be wondering how to find the right dentist for your needs. Whether you’re closer to Fair Oaks Golf Course or out by the Shelby County line, DenScore is here to help you connect with top-rated dental care providers who’ll keep your smile bright and healthy.
We know choosing a dentist is a big decision – after all, this person will be looking after your smile! That’s why we carefully evaluate local dentists based on what matters most to patients: their clinical qualifications, patient satisfaction ratings, appointment availability, and several other important factors. Think of us as your dental matchmakers – we do the research so you can focus on getting the affordable dental care you need.
Some of the dentists listed below may pay for a sponsored listing or agree to put a DenScore badge on their website in order to be recognized, but they are held to the same strict quality control guidelines as every other provider on this list. Whether you choose a dentist from this list or not, we always recommend doing your own research beforehand. For more information, please refer to our Terms of Service.

Just like Oakland’s reputation for keeping taxes low, smart dental insurance choices can help keep your costs down too. Understanding how to choose the right dental insurance plan is crucial. If you’re eligible for Medicaid, your children can receive free dental care, though adult coverage is more limited. For our senior neighbors, while regular Medicare doesn’t cover dental work, many Medicare Advantage plans offer great dental benefits that can make those bigger procedures much more affordable.
The best way to keep dental costs low is prevention – just like how Oakland plans ahead for smart growth, you’ll want to plan ahead for your dental health! Regular brushing, flossing, and watching your sugar intake will help prevent expensive problems down the road. If you have insurance, choosing an in-network dentist can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. No insurance? Don’t worry! Many dental offices offer membership plans that make care more affordable. And just like you might shop around for the best deals in town, it’s worth calling a few dental offices to compare prices if you’re paying cash. We’re here to help you find quality care that won’t break the bank.
Whether you have a tooth that needs to be fixed, a gum problem, or concerns about your smile, there are likely multiple ways to treat your condition. DenScore’s free online dental tool will provide you with information so you can ask your dentist the right questions and get the high-quality dental care you deserve.
