To find a good dentist in Bergenfield, start with the 33 dental practices mapped across this Bergen County borough, 20 of which carry enough patient feedback to earn a Dental.me Score, together averaging a strong 4.82 rating. Filter by the specialty you need, then compare review depth carefully before you ever pick up the phone.
Bergenfield sits in a dense stretch of northern Bergen County where Washington Avenue and South Washington Avenue carry most of the retail dental footprint, and where a resident is rarely more than a few minutes from Dumont, New Milford, or Tenafly. That density is a gift and a complication: you have real choice, but choice without a way to compare it just becomes noise. This guide walks the actual Bergenfield numbers so you can move from “there are a lot of offices near me” to “this is the office I’m calling first.”
What the Bergenfield numbers actually tell you
Of the 33 practices on file in Bergenfield, 20 have accumulated enough patient feedback to be scored, and the picture those 20 paint is strong. Sixteen of them sit at 4.8 or above, two land in the 4.5 to 4.79 band, one falls between 4.0 and 4.49, and just one dips below 4.0. In plain terms, four out of every five rated offices in Bergenfield cluster at the very top of the scale. A 4.82 borough average is not a number you can coast on as a shopper, because when almost everyone is highly rated, the rating alone stops being the tiebreaker. What separates a top-rated Bergenfield dentist from a lower-rated one is the combination of that high rating with a large number of reviews.
The highest-rated practices in Bergenfield
The table below ranks the borough’s most-reviewed practices by their Dental.me Score, breaking ties by the number of reviews behind that score. Notice how tightly grouped the top of this list is: two offices hold a perfect 5.0, three more sit at 4.9, and the sixth still commands a 4.8 on the strength of well over 300 reviews. When the scores are this close, review volume is doing the real work of telling you which ratings rest on large samples rather than a handful of reviews.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bergenfield Orthodontics | 5.0 | 407 | View profile |
| The Bergenfield Smile Center | 5.0 | 283 | View profile |
| Premier Oral Surgery Group of Bergenfield | 4.9 | 310 | View profile |
| Murray J Leben DMD PA | 4.9 | 235 | View profile |
| Bergenfield Dental Associates | 4.9 | 155 | View profile |
| Bradley Dental Group LLC | 4.8 | 331 | View profile |
A useful read of this list: Bergenfield Orthodontics leads on both fronts, pairing a flawless score with the deepest review history in the borough, while Bradley Dental Group LLC shows how a 4.8 backed by 331 reviews can be a better-documented choice than a perfect score with a thin record. There is no single “winner” here so much as a shortlist of six practices any of which would be a defensible first call, and you can browse every rated office from the Bergenfield dentist directory.
How the Dental.me Score reads a practice
The Dental.me Score is earned, never purchased. It weighs a practice’s average rating together with the volume of reviews behind it and whether the office’s details have been confirmed, so that a high rating on many reviews counts for more than the same rating on a handful. The only thing money can influence on Dental.me is a Featured placement, which is labeled as such and never changes the underlying score. That distinction matters most in a borough like Bergenfield, where sixteen offices already sit above 4.8 and the score has to lean on more than the star average to be meaningful.
One practical input you can see for yourself is how many offices publish a website. In Bergenfield, 18 of the 33 practices have a website URL on file, a little over half. That does not mean the other offices are hard to reach; it simply means fewer than two in three practices give you a self-serve way to check services and hours before dialing. When you are comparing two similar options, the one with a website on file is often the faster path to answering your own questions.
Matching a Bergenfield dentist to what you actually need
Bergenfield’s supply is not spread evenly across every kind of care, and knowing where it is deep helps you set expectations before you start dialing. Restorative and cosmetic work is the borough’s strong suit: 16 practices handle dental implants, 14 offer teeth whitening, and 13 describe themselves as cosmetic dentists. Gum care is well covered too, with 11 periodontists on file. Orthodontic options are healthy, with 10 orthodontists and 10 practices offering Invisalign. Where the bench thins is at the specialized and urgent end, where six pediatric dentists, five oral surgeons, and five emergency dentists serve the whole borough.
Read the chart as a planning tool. If you need a routine cleaning, a whitening consult, or implant work, you have a wide field and can afford to be selective about rating and review depth. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist for your child or need an oral surgeon, plan to call earlier and be flexible on timing, because the borough carries a smaller roster there. You can start those searches directly from the Bergenfield dental implants, Bergenfield cosmetic dentistry, and Bergenfield periodontist pages.
Why review volume is your real tiebreaker
Across the 20 rated Bergenfield practices, a combined 2,355 reviews have been left, and that pool is concentrated in the borough’s most-reviewed offices. The six practices in the table above alone account for more than 1,700 of those reviews. When two offices share, say, a 4.9, the one with 300-plus reviews has simply been tested more times, in more situations, by more people. A high score built on a large sample is harder to move than the same score built on a small one.
Looking just beyond Bergenfield
Bergenfield’s borders are close enough that neighboring towns are a genuine part of your search, especially for the specialties where local supply is thinner. If a Bergenfield emergency or pediatric slot cannot fit your timing, the same drive that gets you across the borough will get you into an adjacent directory. Worth a look are the dentists in New Milford immediately to the south, Dumont to the north, and Tenafly to the east, each only minutes away. Treat those as an extension of your shortlist rather than a fallback: the goal is the right match on rating, review depth, and the specific care you need, and sometimes that match is one town over. Start from the Bergenfield hub, compare the six leaders above, and widen the circle only if the fit is not there.
Frequently asked questions
How many dentists are there in Bergenfield, NJ?
Dental.me maps 33 dental practices in Bergenfield. Of those, 20 have accumulated enough patient feedback to earn a Dental.me Score, and together they average a 4.82 rating across the borough.
Which Bergenfield dentist has the best rating?
Eleven practices hold a perfect 5.0 score, two of them on 283 reviews or more: Bergenfield Orthodontics, with 407 reviews, and The Bergenfield Smile Center, with 283. Bergenfield Orthodontics leads because it pairs that flawless score with the deepest review history in the borough.
How is the Dental.me Score decided?
The score is earned, never purchased. It weighs a practice’s average rating, the volume of reviews behind it, and whether office details are confirmed, so a high rating on many reviews counts for more than the same rating on a handful. Only Featured placement can be paid for, and it never changes the score.
Does Bergenfield have emergency and pediatric dentists?

Do Bergenfield dental offices have websites?
Of the 33 practices in Bergenfield, 18 have a website URL on file, a little over half. For the offices without one on file, a phone call is the direct way to check services, hours, and availability.
What if I can't find the right dentist in Bergenfield?
Neighboring towns are only minutes away and are a natural extension of your search. New Milford, Dumont, and Tenafly each have their own Dental.me directory, which is especially useful for specialties where Bergenfield’s local supply is smaller.
Dental.me organizes dental directory data so patients can compare offices with confidence. Use each practice profile and its available website, map, and phone details for current appointment, payment, and care decisions.
