Dental.me lists 29 dental practices in Burlington, Vermont. 13 of them are rated on Google, with a 4.86 average and a median of 4.9 across 1,172 reviews; the other 16 have no Google rating and no reviews on file. Twelve of the 29 have a website on file, 11 have posted hours and all 29 have a phone number on file. Start with the offices below, confirm one handles your specific need, then call to settle the practical details.
How Burlington’s dental directory breaks down
Of the 29 practices, 13 carry a Google rating and 16 do not; those 13 average 4.86. The reviews are concentrated: Willard Street Family Dental holds 501 of the 1,172 (43%), and the six largest records hold 1,109 (95%). A star average describes the reviews on file; it does not measure the care itself.
When the 13 rated offices are sorted into rating bands, 11 sit at 4.8 or higher, one falls between 4.5 and 4.79 (Chittenden Dental + Wellness, 4.7 on 306), one between 4.0 and 4.49 (Lavoie Dental, 4.1 on 12), and none below 4.0. The top band is thinner than its count: five of the 11 are 5.0s resting on 17, 4, 3, 2 and 1 reviews, and six hold 4.8 or higher on 24 or more reviews. The rating separates little at the top, so the review count beside it is worth reading.
The six largest review records in Burlington
The table below holds the six largest review records in Burlington, sorted by rating and then by review count. It is not a list of every top rating: six more offices show a 4.9 or 5.0 on 24 reviews or fewer, Timberlane Adult Dentistry & Periodontics (4.9 on 24) and 5.0s on 17, 4, 3, 2 and 1. By Dental.me Score, which 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, the same six read Willard Street Family Dental, Associates in Dentistry, Dara Chira, Dunkling & Penney, Latelle & St. Amand and Chittenden Dental + Wellness. Every name links to its Dental.me profile.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dara Chira, DMD | 5.0 | 41 | View profile |
| Willard Street Family Dental | 4.9 | 501 | View profile |
| Associates in Dentistry Inc | 4.9 | 151 | View profile |
| Dunkling & Penney | 4.9 | 61 | View profile |
| Bruce C. Latelle & Albert St. Amand, DDS | 4.8 | 49 | View profile |
| Chittenden Dental + Wellness | 4.7 | 306 | View profile |
Reading a rating alone can be misleading, because a 5.0 built on a handful of reviews is a different signal from a 4.9 built on hundreds. Dara Chira, DMD tops the table on rating with a 5.0, but that rests on 41 reviews, and the office is third by Score. Willard Street Family Dental sits just behind at 4.9 while carrying 501 reviews, by far the deepest review count in the city, and is first by Score. Chittenden Dental + Wellness holds 306, the second-largest record. The chart below plots review volume for these six so you can weigh rating against depth at a glance.
A useful way to read this: a high rating on a large review base, such as Willard Street’s 4.9 across 501, moves little with each new review, while a top rating on a smaller base can be just as high but rests on fewer reviews. Neither tells you which office will suit you. If you value a large sample, weight the deep bars; if an office near you rates well, the review count is a secondary consideration.
What a 4.86 average across 13 offices tells you
The 4.86 city average is drawn only from the 13 practices that display a rating, which is fewer than half of the 29 listed. That gap is not a warning sign. It means only that the remaining offices have no public feedback on file; Dental.me cannot say why. The chart below shows the split so you can see how much of the directory is rated versus still unrated.
The rated field is bunched near the top, but the 4.86 average describes only the 13 offices with reviews; it says nothing about the 16 without a rating. Treat those 16 as candidates to look into directly rather than options to rule out: open the profile and call.
Website coverage across the 29 practices
Of the 29 Burlington practices in the directory, 12 have a website URL on file. A site on record makes it easier to check services, forms and contact details before you pick up the phone. A missing URL is only a data note, not a statement about how an office runs. The three rated offices without one are Lavoie Dental (4.1 on 12) and two 5.0s on 2 and 1 reviews.
If you prefer to research online before booking, start your shortlist from the 12 offices with a site on file, then broaden out. For the 17 without a URL on record, the practice profile on Dental.me is your best starting point, and a direct phone call fills in the rest. You can browse every listing, rated and unrated alike, from the Burlington dental directory hub.
Directories near Burlington
Four neighbouring places have their own Dental.me directories: South Burlington (49 practices, 26 rated), Essex Junction (17 practices, 12 rated), Colchester (11 practices, 7 rated), Winooski (4 practices, 3 rated). South Burlington lists more practices than Burlington’s 29; the other three list fewer. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live. Each hub is organized the same way as Burlington’s, so you can compare ratings and review counts across town lines on the same footing.
Widening the search is most useful when the care you need is missing from the Burlington lists: the emergency, oral-surgeon, denture and prosthodontist lists are empty here. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
The 12 Dental.me service lists for Burlington are short. The orthodontist and Invisalign lists hold the same two offices, Chittenden Dental + Wellness and Dara Chira. The pediatric list holds Latelle & St. Amand and Gopichand Vallabhaneni, and the whitening and cosmetic lists hold the same two offices, Chittenden and Timberlane. Timberlane and Champlain Orthodontic Associates make up both the implant and periodontist lists, and Victor L. Ratkus is the only office on the endodontist list. The emergency, oral-surgeon, denture and prosthodontist lists are empty. Twenty-two of the 29 practices are on no list, including Willard Street Family Dental and Associates in Dentistry, first and second by Score. A place on a list shows what an office lists, not how often it does that work, so ask whether the office does your procedure itself.
How to choose a Burlington dentist and what to ask
With 11 of the 13 rated offices at 4.8 or higher, your shortlist work is mostly about fit. Start from the table, pick two or three practices whose ratings and review depth you trust, and open each profile to confirm the current figures. From there, a short call settles the practical questions that no rating can answer.
A quick call checklist
When you phone a Burlington practice, ask whether they take new patients, whether they take your dental insurance or offer a self-pay plan, and how soon they can book a routine cleaning. Confirm they provide the specific service you need, such as a crown or a pediatric visit. For urgent care, the Burlington emergency list is empty, so ask each office how it handles an urgent problem. Two or three calls usually turn a shortlist into a choice.
