01Summary
Your listing has the best reputation on your street, but six setup gaps are working against it. The three most urgent are below. Patients rate you 4.9 stars across 349 reviews, more than any dentist nearby. The fixes are quick and would protect that lead.
- Hours say "Open 24 hours" every day.Google can show you as open at 2 AM on a Sunday.
- The business name has a typo.A missing space and "Inc" run into the name, so the listing looks unkempt.
- The category may not be "Dentist."Every nearby competitor is listed as a dentist. This listing reads as a general clinic.
02How you compare
You lead the neighborhood on rating and review count. The gaps are in how the listing is set up, not in what patients say.

03What's working
- Top rating with real volume. 4.9 stars over 349 reviews beats every office within a mile.
- Reviews name what new patients look for. Recent reviews praise the dentist's honesty, painless cleanings, and help with dental benefits.
- Room to reach Spanish speakers. The neighborhood has a large Latino community. If the team speaks Spanish, saying so on the listing helps patients choose you.
04What to fix, in priority order
- Hours read "Open 24 hours, 7 days." Google can tell a patient you're open at night or on Sunday. One wasted trip often turns into a 1-star review.
- The business name is entered incorrectly. It makes a strong practice look unkempt next to competitors.
- You may be missing from "dentist near me" searches. Every office nearby is categorized as a dentist. This listing reads as a general clinic.
- The phone number feels less local. The listing shows an 866 toll-free number while every competitor shows a local number.
- Services aren't spelled out. Patients searching for crowns, implants or help with insurance may not see that you offer them, in English or Spanish.
- Reviews and photos need regular attention. At 349 reviews, new ones keep arriving. Replies and fresh photos keep that reputation working for you.
None of this is about your care. It's the listing around it, and it needs upkeep every month, not just once.
