Here is the strange thing about looking for a dentist in Englewood: the odds are almost absurdly in your favor. Across the 71 dental practices we track inside the city limits, 40 have accumulated enough Google reviews to earn a rating – and their collective average is 4.74 out of 5. That is not a rounding artifact. Of those 40 rated practices, 32 sit at 4.8 or higher. In most American cities a 4.8 dentist is a standout you have to hunt for. In Englewood, four of every five rated offices clear it. The problem here is not finding a good dentist. The problem is telling excellent apart from merely very good – and doing it without getting fooled by the one number every practice loves to quote.

This guide walks through what the data actually says about dental care in this corner of Bergen County, where the digital picture gets murky, and how to run a short-list without wasting a Saturday on phone calls. Every provider, rating, and count below comes straight from the Dental.me Englewood directory, and nothing here is estimated or invented.

The quality is real – but it’s concentrated

When an entire city averages 4.74, the instinct is to assume the number is inflated or that everyone is padding reviews. The distribution says otherwise. Ratings this high, spread across 40 practices with a Google rating, describe a market where most of the rated field sits high rather than one or two standouts. What the average hides is where the volume lives. Englewood’s 4,568 total reviews are not spread evenly – they cluster heavily around a handful of long-established offices. Jyothsna Manchikalapudi alone carries 712 reviews at a 4.9 rating, nearly one of every six reviews in the city. That concentration matters when you read reviews: a practice with 700 ratings has earned its number the hard way, while a perfect 5.0 built on 40 reviews is promising but statistically thin.

Here is how the 40 rated practices break down by tier.

Read that chart the way an insider would: because 80% of the field is bunched at the top, the rating number by itself barely separates anyone. What separates them is review depth, specialty fit, and whether the office is set up to actually take you as a new patient this month. That last point is where Englewood hides its real friction.

It also reframes the two practices that scored below 4.0. In a market this competitive, a low rating is not background noise – it is a genuine outlier that patients have actively flagged, and it is worth reading those reviews closely before ruling an office in or out. The same logic applies to the two practices sitting in the 4.0 to 4.49 band: not disqualifying, but a clear step down from a field where four-and-nine-tenths is common. When almost everyone earns top marks, the exceptions carry more information than usual, not less.

The website gap – and why it costs you time

Of the 71 practices in the city, only 33 maintain a working website. Fewer than half. For a market this affluent and this well-reviewed, that is a genuinely low digital footprint, and it changes how you should search. Nearly 40 offices with no site means you cannot compare hours, insurance networks, or new-patient availability by browsing – and it means a plain Google search will over-surface the same dozen marketing-savvy practices while burying excellent operators who simply never built a page.

This is the single most practical reason to start from the full Englewood practice directory rather than a search engine: it lists all 71 offices, the 38 that never built a site included, with their ratings and review counts side by side. You see the whole board, not just the players who paid for a web presence.

Who’s earned the trust – the review leaders

If you want a defensible short-list, start with the practices that have combined a top rating with real review volume. These are six of the most-reviewed high-rated offices in Englewood right now:

• Jyothsna Manchikalapudi – 4.9 stars across 712 reviews. The most-reviewed name in the city; the volume alone makes this rating hard to argue with.
• Radia Elidrissi – 4.9 stars across 326 reviews.
• Growing Smiles of Englewood – a perfect 5.0 across 280 reviews, a rare pairing of flawless score and meaningful sample size.
• Stephanie Alvarez – 5.0 stars across 271 reviews.
• East Hill Dental PC – 5.0 stars across 266 reviews.
• Tilun Chan – 5.0 stars across 218 reviews.

Notice the pattern the raw average can’t show you: four of these six hold a spotless 5.0, and every one clears 200 reviews. That combination – perfect score, deep sample – is the real signal of consistency in a market where a 4.8 is ordinary.

Match the practice to the procedure

A general cleaning is one thing; an implant, a child’s first visit, or a root canal is another. Englewood is well-supplied on the specialties that matter most, but the depth is lopsided – and knowing where it is thin saves you a referral you didn’t budget for.

The read is clear. If you need restorative or cosmetic work, you are spoiled for choice – 19 implant providers and 14 cosmetic practices is a deep bench, and 13 periodontists is unusually strong for a city this size. Families are well covered too, with 14 pediatric options. Where it thins out is the specialist tier: seven for orthodontics and just six each for oral surgery and endodontics. And with only nine emergency dentists, a same-day toothache is worth pre-planning rather than gambling on Saturday availability.

A three-filter method for Englewood specifically

Because the ratings are so tightly clustered, the usual “pick the highest star rating” advice is useless here. Use these three filters in order instead:

Filter one – review depth. In a city where nearly everyone scores above 4.8, sample size is the tiebreaker. A 4.9 built on 712 reviews is a far stronger signal than a 5.0 built on 30. Start with the six leaders above and you have already applied this filter.

Filter two – specialty fit. Don’t book a general office and hope. If you need an implant, filter to the 19 that do them; if it’s braces or aligners, remember only seven practices handle orthodontics, so that is a narrow field.

Filter three – reachability. With 38 practices off the web entirely, availability is the hidden constraint. Confirm two things by phone before you commit: that they are accepting new patients, and that they are in-network for your plan. Both change month to month and neither shows up in a star rating.

If Englewood doesn’t have your match

Englewood sits in the dense heart of Bergen County, and its neighbors add hundreds more practices within a short drive – useful when a specialist here is booked out or out-of-network. It’s worth widening the search to Fort Lee, Teaneck, Tenafly, Leonia, Englewood Cliffs, or Bergenfield, all of which border or nearly border the city.

When you’re ready to compare the field yourself, the complete Englewood dentist directory is the fastest way to see all 71 practices, their real ratings, and their review counts in one place – including the 38 that never built a website and that a plain search would never surface.
