Dental.me lists 38 dental practices in Bridgewater, and 20 of them carry a Google star rating. Those ratings average 4.79 out of five, and 15 of the 20 sit at 4.8 or higher. Compare each rating with its review count, open the service list you need, and call two offices before you book.
What Bridgewater’s directory actually shows
The Bridgewater directory, in Somerset County, holds 38 practices. Of those, 20 carry a Google star rating, and those ratings average 4.79 across 5,601 reviews, with a median rating of 4.9.
The other 18 practices have no Google rating on file, and Dental.me does not record why. That says nothing about the offices. All 38 have a phone number on file and 19 have hours on their Dental.me profile. Nineteen of the 38, exactly half, have a website URL on file, and they are nearly the same group as the rated offices: 19 of the 20 rated offices have a URL, and none of the 18 unrated offices does. For those 18, the phone is the place to start.
The six highest-rated offices with 100 or more reviews
The table below lists the six Bridgewater practices with the highest Google ratings among those with at least 100 reviews, ordered by rating and then by review count. They are also the six highest Dental.me Scores, though not in Score order. By Score, the order is Stellar Smiles Bridgewater, Better Image Dentistry, Chiang and Jones, Nathan C Steele, Dental Specialists of Bridgewater, then Loew and Patel.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stellar Smiles Bridgewater | 5.0 | 616 | View profile |
| Chiang and Jones Family Dentistry | 5.0 | 354 | View profile |
| Dental Specialists of Bridgewater | 5.0 | 269 | View profile |
| Better Image Dentistry – Dr Sakshi Sapru | 4.9 | 567 | View profile |
| Nathan C Steele DMD PA | 4.9 | 422 | View profile |
| Loew and Patel Orthodontics | 4.9 | 280 | View profile |
Seven Bridgewater offices hold a 5.0 Google rating. Three of them clear the 100-review bar; Yau-Ting Lam (32 reviews), Dr. Megha Desai (3), Stephanie Weintraub (3) and Ming Ding (2) are left out of the table. Among the three in the table, Stellar Smiles Bridgewater has 616 reviews, more than double the 269 at Dental Specialists of Bridgewater. A 5.0 on 616 reviews is a larger sample than a 5.0 on 32, and a larger sample is all it is: a rating reflects reviewers’ experiences and does not measure clinical quality. Better Image Dentistry, at 4.9 across 567 reviews, has the second-largest review count in the table.
Nathan C Steele DMD PA holds a 4.9 on 422 reviews, more than Chiang and Jones Family Dentistry (5.0 on 354) or Dental Specialists of Bridgewater, and Loew and Patel Orthodontics holds a 4.9 on 280. The table is not a list of the largest records. The two largest in town sit outside it, at 1,164 and 1,147 reviews, and so does a third office with more reviews than four of its six rows. The review section below names them.
How the ratings break down
Here is how the 20 Google ratings divide, with the number of reviews in each band.
Three quarters of the rated offices, 15 of 20, sit at 4.8 or higher, and they hold 3,965 of the 5,601 reviews. Three of the 15 rest on three reviews or fewer. The 4.5-to-4.79 band has only three offices, but it holds 1,609 reviews, about 29 percent, because it includes the second-largest record in town. Two offices fall below 4.5, at 4.4 on 14 reviews and 3.5 on 13.
When this many offices share a similar rating, the star number alone will not narrow the list much. Review count shows how large each sample is, and the service lists and your own location can do the rest of the narrowing.
Website coverage, and what it does not mean
Half of Bridgewater’s practices, 19 of 38, have a website URL on file with Dental.me.
A practice with no website URL on file has not told us it lacks a site; our record for that office simply does not include a link. The split does not run evenly across the ratings. Of the 19 with no URL, 18 have no Google rating either, and the other is Stephanie Weintraub, at 5.0 on 3 reviews. Use the on-file URLs to read an office’s own information, and when there is no link, call: all 38 have a phone number on file. Dental.me holds no insurance or scheduling data, so those questions are for the office.
Where the 5,601 reviews sit
The 5,601 Google reviews are not spread evenly. The two largest records, Paul D. Kaplan, D.M.D., P.A. (1,164 reviews at 4.8) and Dominick Ambroise (1,147 at 4.7), hold about 41 percent between them. The chart below draws the six largest, which together hold 4,364 reviews, or 78 percent, against the 14 other rated offices, which hold 1,237. Three of the six are not in the table above: those two and Bridgewater Family Dental (448 at 4.5).
A larger count is a larger sample, and that is all it is. The median rated office holds 85.5 reviews and the mean is 280, so a few large records pull the mean up. Dental.me holds no review dates, so it cannot show how recent the reviews are.
What the 12 Bridgewater service lists hold
Dental.me keeps 12 service lists for Bridgewater. All 12 hold at least one office, and 14 of the 38 practices are on at least one list. Some lists repeat the same offices, so the bars below overstate how many separate choices there are.
Cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening hold 10 offices each, and they are the same 10 offices, on the Bridgewater cosmetic dentists page and the whitening page. Orthodontics and Invisalign hold six each, again the same six, starting from the Bridgewater orthodontists page. The list for dental implants in Bridgewater holds seven, and the lists for pediatric dentists in Bridgewater and for endodontics hold five each. Periodontics holds four, emergency three, oral surgery and dentures two each, and prosthodontics one. A few offices fill much of this: Dominick Ambroise is on 10 of the 12 lists and Better Image Dentistry on nine. A listing is a directory tag. It does not confirm that an office currently provides that treatment or is taking new patients, and Dental.me holds no availability data, so call ahead to confirm.
If you know what you need, start from the service page, then compare rating and review count there as you would on the main list. Check the full directory as well, because a list search will not show every office: 24 of the 38 practices are on none of the 12, including For You Dentistry (4.8 on 46) and Yau-Ting Lam (5.0 on 32).
Nearby Dental.me directories
If an office you want does not take your plan, or you would rather see a dentist near work, look at the neighboring directories too. Dental.me holds no insurance data, so confirm network participation with the office first.
Dentists in Somerville number 28 on Dental.me, with 19 rated, and that directory’s oral surgeon list holds 3 and its implant list 8, against Bridgewater’s 2 and 7. Dentists in Raritan number 11, with 7 rated, and dentists in Martinsville number 3, with 2 rated. Those practices are in their own directories and are not counted in Bridgewater’s 38. Each directory carries the same rating and review-count figures, so you can compare across them, starting from the Bridgewater dentist directory.
How to choose, in the right order
Work top-down. Begin with the 20 rated offices and the review count behind each rating, and remember that the table above leaves out the two largest records. The 18 unrated offices are still in the directory, so call them if one is close to you. If you need a particular service, open that list, since a rating does not tell you whether an office places implants or treats children. Then check whether a website URL is on file; if it is, read the office’s own information, then call to confirm your insurance network and new-patient policy.
Finally, call two offices, not one. Ask about scheduling, network participation, and how they handle a first visit, none of which Dental.me holds. With 15 offices at 4.8 or above, use the figures to build a shortlist of three, then let a phone call and your own convenience decide.
Frequently asked questions
How many dentists are there in Bridgewater, NJ?
Dental.me lists 38 dental practices in Bridgewater. Of those, 20 carry a Google star rating, and those ratings average 4.79 across 5,601 reviews. The remaining 18 have no rating on file, and Dental.me does not record why.
Which Bridgewater dentist has the highest rating?
Seven offices hold a 5.0 Google rating. Stellar Smiles Bridgewater has the most reviews among them at 616, followed by Chiang and Jones Family Dentistry (354) and Dental Specialists of Bridgewater (269). Yau-Ting Lam holds a 5.0 on 32 reviews, and Dr. Megha Desai, Stephanie Weintraub and Ming Ding rest on 2 or 3 reviews each. The largest review count in town belongs to Paul D. Kaplan, D.M.D., P.A., at 4.8 on 1,164.
Can I find specialists like implants or orthodontics in Bridgewater?
Dental.me’s Bridgewater service lists hold 7 practices for dental implants, 6 for orthodontics, 5 for pediatric dentistry and 5 for endodontics. Cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening hold 10 each, the same 10 offices. A listing is a directory tag, so confirm with the office that it provides the treatment you need.
How many Bridgewater practices have a website on file?
Nineteen of the 38 practices, exactly half, have a website URL on file with Dental.me. A missing URL only means no link is recorded for that office; it is not a statement about the practice. All 38 have a phone number on file, so call to confirm hours, insurance, and new-patient forms.
What does the Dental.me Score measure?
The Dental.me Score is built mainly from a practice’s Google rating and the depth of reviews behind it, with a small lift for an office that verifies its listing. A paid Featured placement does not change a practice’s rating or Score. The Bridgewater hub does open with four listings marked Featured, shown out of Score order; after those it follows the Score.
Should I also consider dentists in nearby towns?
It can help. Somerville, Martinsville and Raritan each have their own Dental.me directory, with 28, 3 and 11 practices, so you can compare ratings and review counts alongside Bridgewater’s 38.
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.
