To find a good dentist in Burlington, start with the 38 dental practices listed in our directory for this Middlesex County town; 26 of them carry a rating and review history, and those rated offices average a strong 4.84 stars across 4,256 Google reviews. Compare by specialty, review depth, and office-confirmation before you book.
What Burlington’s dental directory actually shows
Burlington is a compact town of roughly a dozen square miles wrapped around the I-95/128 interchange, anchored by the Burlington Mall and the sprawling Lahey Hospital & Medical Center campus — and its dental market is denser than its footprint suggests. Our Burlington dentist directory lists 38 practices inside the town line. Of those, 26 currently carry a star rating and a review history, which is the subset you can genuinely compare on evidence; the remaining 12 appear without enough public feedback to score. The 26 rated offices average 4.84 stars and have collected 4,256 Google reviews between them — roughly 164 reviews per rated practice, a healthy depth and a sign that Burlington patients are active reviewers.
That 4.84 average is not propped up by a couple of outliers. Of the 26 rated practices, 22 sit at 4.8 stars or higher, one lands in the 4.5-to-4.79 band, three fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and none sits below 4.0. In plain terms, the floor in Burlington is high: even the lower-rated offices in the directory still clear four stars, so your comparison is less about avoiding a bad office and more about matching the right practice to the exact care you need.
The six highest-ranked practices in Burlington
Nine Burlington practices hold a perfect 5.0 rating. Varallo Orthodontics, led by Dr. Daniel Varallo, tops the town with 480 reviews at 5.0 stars — the largest review base of any rated office in Burlington. Radiant Family Dental of Burlington also holds 5.0 stars across 327 reviews. Just behind them, four practices share a 4.9 rating: Burlington Oral and Facial Surgery Center with 418 reviews, Greenwood Dental Burlington with 344, Daniela Toro’s Burlington Orthodontics with 325, and Burlington Center Dental Associates with 319. The table below ranks them by rating, then by review count.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varallo Orthodontics – Dr. Daniel Varallo | 5.0 | 480 | View profile |
| Radiant Family Dental of Burlington PLLC | 5.0 | 327 | View profile |
| Burlington Oral and Facial Surgery Center LLC | 4.9 | 418 | View profile |
| Greenwood Dental Burlington | 4.9 | 344 | View profile |
| Daniela Toro D.M.D., P.C. Dba Burlington Orthodontics | 4.9 | 325 | View profile |
| Burlington Center Dental Associates, PC | 4.9 | 319 | View profile |
Notice that this leaderboard mixes practice types. Varallo Orthodontics and Daniela Toro’s Burlington Orthodontics are braces-and-aligner offices, and Burlington Oral and Facial Surgery Center is a surgical practice, while Radiant Family Dental, Greenwood Dental, and Burlington Center Dental Associates are general and family offices. A five-star orthodontist is exactly right for a teen’s braces consult and the wrong starting point for a routine cleaning — so read the practice type alongside the number, not just the star count.
Every rated office has a website on file
Across all 38 Burlington practices, 26 have a website URL on file — and in Burlington’s case those are precisely the 26 offices that also carry a public rating. The 12 practices with no website URL on file are the same 12 that lack enough reviews to score, so a missing website URL and a missing rating travel together here. That makes the choice cleaner: the offices you can research online are the same ones you can research on evidence.
What kind of dental care Burlington actually offers
Burlington’s directory is far from general dentists only. Sixteen of the 38 practices offer dental implants, making implant care the most widely available specialty service in town. Thirteen practices provide cosmetic dentistry and thirteen offer teeth whitening; eleven list periodontal (gum) care. Orthodontics and Invisalign are each available at eight practices, endodontics (root canals) at six, and emergency dental care at five. When you know which of these you need, the 38-practice list narrows quickly.
Reading the review counts, not just the stars
A star rating tells you how patients felt; a review count tells you how confident you can be in that feeling. In Burlington, the top of the leaderboard carries real weight behind it. Varallo Orthodontics has gathered 480 reviews, Burlington Oral and Facial Surgery Center 418, and Greenwood Dental 344 — each a large enough sample that the rating is unlikely to swing on a handful of new reviews. Radiant Family Dental (327), Burlington Orthodontics (325), and Burlington Center Dental Associates (319) sit close behind. When two offices show the same star rating, the one with the deeper review base is the more settled bet, and the chart below shows how the town’s leading practices compare on that depth.
If you have a dental emergency in Burlington
Five Burlington practices list emergency dental services, which is a modest bench — so if you crack a tooth on a weekend, widen your search early rather than waiting on a single office. Start with the Burlington emergency dentist list, and if nothing opens up quickly, the nearby towns along the 128 corridor add depth within a ten-to-fifteen-minute drive. Keep the office’s own after-hours guidance in front of you, and if you are directed to an urgent facility, the Lahey campus sits right in town.
Looking just past the Burlington town line
Burlington sits shoulder-to-shoulder with several towns that each carry their own dental directories, and for a specialist appointment or an earlier opening it is worth crossing the line. Woburn is directly east across I-95 and usually the closest alternative; Winchester and Lexington sit to the south and southwest with their own practices, and Bedford lies just to the west. If a Burlington office you want is booked out for weeks, one of these four is likely to have comparable care sooner.
How Dental.me ranks Burlington practices
Every practice’s Dental.me Score is earned, never sold. It weighs a practice’s star rating, the volume of reviews standing behind that rating, and whether we have confirmed the office’s details — which is why a 5.0 office with 480 reviews ranks ahead of a 5.0 office with a dozen. The only thing money changes is a Featured placement, which is always labeled as such; it never lifts a practice up the earned ranking. Use the numbers on this page to build a shortlist, match each office’s practice type to the care you need, then confirm the specifics with the practice before you book.
