Dentists in Fairport, NY: Local Guide

Finding a good dentist in Fairport, New York starts with the numbers: Dental.me lists 29 practices across the village, 17 of them carry a star rating, and those rated offices average an exceptional 4.94 stars. Start with the highest-rated, best-reviewed practices in the table below, and then match one to your own family’s needs.

The Fairport dental landscape at a glance

Fairport is a compact Erie Canal village in the town of Perinton, tucked into Monroe County just east of Rochester, and its dental market is denser than its footprint suggests. Across the village, Dental.me tracks 29 practices. Of those, 17 have accumulated enough public feedback to carry a star rating, while the remaining 12 are listed but not yet rated. That does not make the unrated dozen worse offices; it usually means they are newer to the directory, smaller, or simply have not gathered enough public feedback to score. It does mean that if you want to lean on ratings while you choose, you are working from a pool of 17.

The headline figure is the average. Those 17 rated Fairport practices average 4.94 stars, which sits at the very top of the five-star scale, and together they hold 2,525 reviews on file. A village with only a handful of rated offices can post a shiny average on thin evidence, but Fairport’s average rides on thousands of individual data points, which makes it far harder to skew. For anyone relocating to the East Rochester corridor or simply overdue for a cleaning, that combination of high scores and real volume is the strongest starting signal Fairport gives you.

The highest-rated dental practices in Fairport

The six offices below are Fairport’s most visible practices by rating and review volume, ordered from highest rating down and, where ratings tie, by the number of reviews behind them. Four of the six hold a perfect 5.0, and the gap between them comes down to how many people have weighed in. Use the profile links to see each office’s full Dental.me listing.

Notice how the top four separate from the field: Zak & Vitagliano Dental PC and Smiles on the Canal Dentistry each pair a flawless score with well over 500 reviews, while Mary Ann Panara DDS and Jeffrey P Panara DDS and Brian Kritzman hold their 5.0 across several hundred more. A perfect rating on 101 reviews at Joseph T Loverdi DDS PLLC is still a strong signal, just built on a smaller sample.

How Fairport’s ratings break down

The distribution behind that 4.94 average is unusually top-heavy. Of the 17 rated practices, 16 land at 4.8 stars or higher, a single office falls in the 4.0 to 4.49 range, and nothing sits between 4.5 and 4.79 or below 4.0 at all. In practical terms, almost every rated dentist in Fairport clusters at the very top of the scale, so the choice is less about avoiding a weak score and more about weighing review volume, location within the village, and the services you actually need.

Website access and how to reach a Fairport practice

Every one of the 17 rated Fairport practices has a website URL on file, which is convenient when you want to check hours, insurance participation, or new-patient forms before you call. Across the full directory of 29, the count is 17 with a website URL on file and 12 without one recorded, so if you are working from the unrated group you may need to phone the office directly rather than start online. Having a URL on record is not a quality score in itself; it simply tells you a public web presence exists for the practice, which is one more way to confirm details before your first visit.

What review counts reveal in Fairport

Ratings tell you how people scored a practice; review counts tell you how much weight to put behind that score. Fairport’s 2,525 total reviews are concentrated heavily in its four largest offices. Zak & Vitagliano leads with 633, followed by Smiles on the Canal at 582, the Panara practice at 445, and Brian Kritzman at 415. The chart below ranks the top six by review volume so you can see the drop-off: the front-runners each carry hundreds of entries, while Eastside Family Dental and Joseph T Loverdi DDS sit in the low hundreds. A larger count generally means a more stable, harder-to-move average, which is worth remembering when two offices show the same 5.0.

A 4.94 average and what it means for your search

An average this high across 17 offices is the kind of number that rewards a closer look rather than a shrug. It means the rated end of Fairport’s market is remarkably consistent, so your decision rarely comes down to steering clear of a poor performer. Instead, the practical differences are logistical: which office is closest to your home or your commute along the canal corridor, which participates in your insurance, which has appointment times that fit your schedule, and whether you need general care or something more specialized. The Dental.me Score that ranks these practices weighs a practice’s rating, its review volume, and whether its office details are confirmed, among other signals, so a high score reflects more than a single flattering number. The gauge below places Fairport’s 4.94 on the full five-star scale.

Looking just beyond Fairport

Fairport sits in a cluster of Monroe County communities, so if the office that fits your schedule happens to be a few minutes over the village line, it is worth broadening the map. To the north and west, Penfield and Pittsford both border the Perinton area and carry their own directories of rated practices. East Rochester is essentially next door and can be quicker to reach than crossing Fairport itself during busy hours. Heading east along the canal toward Wayne County, Macedon adds more options, and to the south Mendon rounds out the ring. Start with the Fairport listings on the Fairport city hub, then expand outward only if you need a specific service, a particular insurance network, or an appointment time the village offices cannot match.
