Dental.me lists 34 dental practices in Eldersburg. Eighteen are rated on Google, together holding 3,009 Google reviews and averaging 4.76 stars. Nine of the 18 hold 89 reviews or more; the other nine hold 62 or fewer.
This guide reads the listings on the Eldersburg directory by the numbers: ratings, review counts and the 12 service lists. Every figure comes from Dental.me’s current listings, and a Google rating does not measure clinical quality.
How Eldersburg’s dentist landscape breaks down
Sorted into rating bands, the 18 rated practices are top-heavy: 11 sit at 4.8 or above, four land in the 4.5–4.79 range, three fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and none is below 4.0. The 4.5–4.79 band holds the two largest review records in the city, Fusion Dental (4.5 on 485) and Wilder Larry DDS (4.7 on 445).
With no rated office below 4.0, the rating alone separates few offices here. What differs is the number of reviews behind each rating and which service lists an office is on. You can browse the full field on the Eldersburg dentist directory.
The top of the Dental.me Score in Eldersburg
The table below lists the Dental.me Score top six in Score order. The 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. The Rating column is the Google rating on file, and the last column links each practice’s Dental.me profile.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alexandra Passarello | 5.0 | 410 | View profile |
| Kurt B. Linkoff, DDS, PA | 5.0 | 385 | View profile |
| Benjamin Brigoli | 5.0 | 323 | View profile |
| Eldersburg Dental Group, LLC | 4.9 | 265 | View profile |
| Louis Gorman | 4.9 | 224 | View profile |
| Eldersburg Family Dental | 4.9 | 206 | View profile |
Three offices tie for first on Score: Alexandra Passarello, Kurt B. Linkoff, DDS, PA and Benjamin Brigoli, each a 5.0 on more than 300 reviews (410, 385 and 323). Eldersburg Dental Group, LLC, Louis Gorman and Eldersburg Family Dental tie for fourth, each a 4.9 (265, 224 and 206 reviews). That is six practices within a tenth of a star of one another. Alexandra Passarello, Kurt B. Linkoff and Eldersburg Dental Group are on none of Eldersburg’s 12 service lists, so ask them directly what work they do.
What the review volume tells you
The 18 rated offices hold 3,009 Google reviews between them. A rating on hundreds of reviews moves little with the next one; a rating on a handful can move a lot. Eldersburg has both: Alexandra Passarello is a 5.0 on 410 reviews, while three other 5.0s rest on 5, 3 and 1. The chart below shows the six largest review records in the city.
The six largest records hold 2,313 of the 3,009 reviews (77%). The two largest, Fusion Dental and Wilder Larry DDS, sit outside the Score top six, at 10th and 9th, because the Score weighs the rating first. The other twelve rated offices hold 696 reviews between them. Dental.me holds no review dates, so a small review count does not tell you whether an office is new.
Reading an Eldersburg rating the right way
A star number is a starting point. Because the rated field is bunched at the top, a tenth of a star on hundreds of reviews is a small difference. Read three things together: the rating, the number of reviews under it, and the service lists the office is on.
Two cautions follow. First, a perfect score on a few reviews rests on a small sample, as the three 5.0s on 5, 3 and 1 reviews do. Second, a rating does not show what an office does. A 5.0 general practice is still the wrong choice if your child needs braces and the office does not list orthodontics, which is why the service lists below matter.
Websites, hours, and doing your own homework
Of Eldersburg’s 34 tracked practices, 22 have a website URL on file with Dental.me. A website is the fastest place to confirm the practical details a rating cannot tell you — which insurance plans an office takes, whether they see children, how new-patient scheduling works, and what their emergency policy is on a Sunday. It is worth treating the presence of a site as a convenience rather than a verdict.
The other 12 practices have no website URL recorded. A URL is one field on a record, not a measure of care. Ten of the 12 are unrated as well, so for those a call is the main way to learn more. Twenty-one of the 34 have posted hours on file and all 34 have a phone number.
When you reach an Eldersburg office, a few questions help. Ask whether they are accepting new patients and how soon they can see you. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you. Ask which insurance networks they are in and whether they file claims for you. Ask what they do for an urgent problem, such as a cracked tooth on a weekend, and whether they see children or refer them out.
Specialty care within Eldersburg
Dental.me keeps 12 service lists for Eldersburg. The longest are orthodontists and Invisalign, with seven offices each, and they are the same seven offices. Cosmetic dentists list six; dental implants and pediatric dentists four each; teeth whitening, periodontists, emergency dentists and oral surgeons two each; dentures and endodontists one each. The prosthodontist list is empty. 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.
If you are weighing clear aligners or braces, start with the Eldersburg orthodontists or the town’s Invisalign providers (the same seven offices), then compare their ratings and review counts. For veneers, bonding or whitening, the Eldersburg cosmetic dentists page lists six. Fusion Dental is on 9 of the 12 lists and Eldersburg Family Dental on six.
