Start with the top of the Dental.me Score. Commack Family Dental ranks first with a 4.9 on 411 reviews; its listing is verified, which the Score weighs alongside rating and review count.

Giordano and Bonnie Helfner Dental Associates tied for third, and Kreitzberg Dental sixth, level on the Score with Edward Russo (5.0 on 309).
Commack is a Suffolk County hamlet, and Dental.me lists 74 practices there. The 44 that carry a Google rating hold 7,005 Google reviews between them. That averages about 159 per rated office, but a few large counts pull the average up: half of the rated offices hold 31 or fewer. This guide walks through what those numbers mean when you are picking a dentist, and it names the specific offices the data points to.
The shape of Commack’s dental market
Before you shortlist anyone, it helps to see the whole field at a glance. Not all 74 offices are equally easy to research: 42 have a website URL on file (36 of them rated), and 44 carry a Google rating. The remaining 30 aren’t necessarily weaker; they simply have no rating on file, and Dental.me does not record why. They just require a phone call rather than a browser tab.
The snapshot’s average, 4.75 across the rated offices, rests on thousands of reviews, but not evenly: 22 of the 44 rated offices hold 31 or fewer. Check the count behind any rating you compare. Browse the full roster on the Commack dentist hub.
How good is “good” here? Read the rating spread
Averages hide as much as they reveal, so look at how the ratings distribute. 30 of the 44 rated practices (68%) sit at 4.8 stars or higher, but half of those 30 rest on 14 or fewer reviews, and 15 of the town’s 22 perfect 5.0s rest on 9 or fewer. Five sit between 4.5 and 4.79, six between 4.0 and 4.49, and three fall below 4.0.
What this means practically: in Commack a 4.8 or higher is common, so the rating alone will rarely separate your finalists. Weigh the review count behind it, the service you need and the practical details. The nine practices below 4.5 include two with large counts, National Dental Commack (4.3 on 382) and OLD American Dental (3.6 on 241); the other seven rest on 73 or fewer reviews.
The top of the Score and the largest review counts
Commack Family Dental leads the Dental.me Score with a 4.9 on 411 reviews. Mateer Orthodontics, second on the Score, holds a 5.0 across 744 reviews, the largest count in the hamlet.
Alan M. Berman, D.D.S. (5.0, 525 reviews; listed for implants and periodontics) and Claire M. Giordano DDS (5.0, 442; listed for implants, periodontics, dentures, cosmetic and emergency care) tie for third on the Score with Bonnie Helfner Dental Associates (5.0, 438). Kreitzberg Dental (5.0, 350 reviews) and Edward Russo (5.0, 309 reviews) tie for sixth.
Three large counts sit outside that group: The Wisdom Tooth of Commack (4.7 on 656, the second-largest count), Toby Mathews (4.7 on 599, third) and Gentle Dental (4.9 on 469, eighth on the Score). A 4.7 on 600 reviews and a 5.0 on 30 are different kinds of evidence, and neither proves clinical quality on its own.
Put the town’s 7,005 reviews in perspective: the six largest counts hold 3,435 of them (49%), and the top six on the Score hold 2,910 (42%). A large count is a bigger sample of opinions, not a verdict, so read a few reviews behind any office you shortlist rather than relying on the star rating alone.
What the service lists show
Dental implants are the longest service list in Commack: 21 practices are listed for implants, against 16 for cosmetic dentistry and the same 16 for teeth whitening. With 21 offices on that list, you can get a second opinion and compare written estimates.
Ten practices are listed for orthodontics (the same ten as Invisalign), including Mateer Orthodontics. All 13 periodontists are also on the implant list. Endodontics lists 9 offices, dentures 6, oral surgery 5 and prosthodontics 3. If you know what you need, start from the specialty view rather than the general list: browse implant dentists in Commack, Commack orthodontists, cosmetic dentists, or periodontists directly. For urgent problems, the nine emergency dentists are the fastest filter.
How to actually choose — a four-filter method
With 74 options and 30 rated at 4.8 or higher, the star rating alone will not decide it. Here is the sequence we’d run against Commack’s data, top to bottom, discarding options at each step.
The reason this order works in Commack is that step one barely costs you anything — almost 70% of the rated field already clears 4.8, so you lose very little by starting there. The real decisions happen at steps three and four, where review depth shows how many reviews stand behind a rating, and a five-minute phone call confirms the two things no directory can promise you: that they take your plan and can see you when you need it. Dental.me does not publish prices, and our national guide to dental costs gives no price ranges either; it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials), so ask each office for a written, itemised estimate.
