Dentists in Brentwood, NY: Local Guide

To find a good dentist in Brentwood, start with the 23 dental practices Dental.me tracks across this Suffolk County hamlet, 17 of which carry a public rating averaging 3.89 out of five. Sort by that score and review count, confirm the office details, and shortlist two or three before you call.

Brentwood sits in the Town of Islip on Long Island, bordered by Central Islip to the east, Bay Shore to the south, and North Babylon to the west, with the Sagtikos and Southern State Parkways threading the area and a Long Island Rail Road station on the Ronkonkoma Branch. That geography means a Brentwood resident realistically chooses from offices inside the hamlet plus a ring of neighboring communities a short drive away. This guide works through the 23 practices on file here, shows you how their ratings and review counts stack up, and points you toward the specialty and neighboring-city options worth a look.

What the numbers say about dentists in Brentwood

Of the 23 practices Dental.me lists in Brentwood, 17 have collected enough public feedback to carry a rating, and those 17 average 3.89 out of five. That average sits below the four-star line, and the band breakdown explains why: while four practices reach 4.8 or higher, nine of the rated offices fall under 4.0. In other words, the top of the Brentwood field is genuinely strong, but it is a smaller slice than the lower band, so the sort order you choose matters more here than it would in a city where most offices cluster near the top.

The chart below shows how the 17 rated practices divide across four rating bands. Read it as a shape, not a verdict on any single office: a practice in the under-4.0 band may simply have a handful of mixed early reviews, while a 4.8-plus office has earned consistent marks. Use the bands to decide where to start looking, then read the individual profiles.

The top-rated dental practices in Brentwood

Here are the six Brentwood practices with the highest ratings on file, sorted by star rating and then by the number of reviews behind that rating. A perfect five carried by one or two reviews tells you less than a 4.7 built on 26, so read both columns together rather than the star number alone. Each name links to its full Dental.me profile, where you can confirm the details before you reach out.

The standout for depth of feedback is Raquel L Lopez DDS Family Dentistry P.C, whose 4.7 rests on 26 reviews, more than the other five offices in this table combined. That is the largest review base among Brentwood’s top-rated names, and a rating that holds at 4.7 across that many marks is a stronger signal than a five-star average from a single visit. The four perfect-five offices, including the oral-surgery specialist Suffolk Oral Surgery Associates LLP, are worth a call, but treat their scores as early rather than settled. Karim S DDS rounds out the list at 4.2 across five reviews.

How website coverage shapes your shortlist

Eight of Brentwood’s 23 practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me, which is a little over a third of the field. A listed website is convenient rather than essential: it usually gives you a fast way to see services and location before you dial. The 14 practices with no website URL on file are not lesser offices, but you will confirm their details by phone rather than online, so build that step into your shortlist.

Reading Brentwood’s review volume

Across the 17 rated practices, Brentwood offices have gathered 775 public reviews in total, which works out to roughly 46 reviews per rated practice on average. That total is not spread evenly, though. Among the six top-rated names, review counts run from 26 down to a single review, so the depth of evidence behind two offices with the same star rating can differ sharply. The chart below plots the review counts for those six named practices so you can see where the feedback concentrates.

The takeaway is practical: when two offices tie on stars, let review volume break the tie, and give extra weight to any Brentwood practice whose rating has held up across a larger base. It is the difference between a score that has been tested and one that is still forming.

Cosmetic, whitening, and specialty care in Brentwood

Beyond general and family dentistry, Brentwood’s listings include practices tagged for specific services. Five offices appear under cosmetic dentistry and five under teeth whitening, which gives you a real, if modest, set of local starting points if you are booking for veneers, bonding, or a whitening treatment rather than a routine cleaning. Because the specialty tags overlap with general practices, it is worth opening each specialty page to see which names appear and cross-checking them against the ratings above.

You can browse both lists directly: the cosmetic dentists in Brentwood page and the teeth whitening providers in Brentwood page each collect the tagged offices in one place. For a full view of every practice in the hamlet, general and specialty alike, start at the Brentwood dental directory.

Looking beyond Brentwood: nearby Suffolk County options

Because Brentwood’s strongest offices are a small group, it is reasonable to widen the search into the surrounding communities, all within a short drive on Long Island. Directly east, dentists in Central Islip add another cluster of options; to the south along the shore, dentists in Bay Shore are close to the Southern State corridor; and to the north, dentists in Hauppauge sit near the Long Island Expressway. If your best-rated Brentwood pick has no open appointments or no website URL on file, checking one of these neighboring directories is often faster than waiting.

Treat the neighboring cities as an extension of your Brentwood shortlist rather than a replacement. Compare the ratings and review counts the same way, and give preference to whichever office, in Brentwood or next door, pairs a strong score with enough reviews to trust it.

How to choose your Brentwood dentist

Put the pieces together with a short routine. First, open the Brentwood directory and sort by rating, then scan the review column so a five-star average from one visit does not outrank a 4.7 built on 26. Second, decide whether you need general care or a specialty, and if it is cosmetic work or whitening, start from those two specialty pages. Third, confirm each shortlisted office’s details, remembering that only eight of the 23 list a website URL, so some confirmation will happen by phone. Finally, keep a neighboring-city backup from Central Islip, Bay Shore, or Hauppauge in case your first choice is booked. That sequence turns 23 listings and a 3.89 average into a manageable shortlist of two or three offices worth calling.

Brentwood sits among several Suffolk County communities within a short drive. Central Islip to the east, Bay Shore to the south, and Hauppauge to the north each have their own directories, so widening your search there is a practical backup if your top Brentwood pick is booked.
