The Dental.me directory lists 38 dental practices in Haverhill, in Essex County. 24 of them carry a Google rating, and those 24 average 4.23 stars across 5,617 Google reviews. One office holds 2,393 of those reviews, and three of the 5.0 ratings rest on three reviews or fewer, so this guide reads each rating beside the count behind it.
Of the 38 practices, 24 carry a Google rating and 14 have no rating and no reviews on file. Dental.me has a website URL for 19 of the 38, posted weekly hours for 18 and a phone number for all 38. A rating and a review count show how Google reviewers scored an office and how many of them did, not how good the care is, so the sections below read each figure for what it can and cannot show.
How Haverhill’s practices break down
The 24 rated offices average 4.23 stars, but the average hides a wide spread: twelve sit at 4.8 or higher, five sit below 4.0 and seven fall in between.
The chart shows the 24 rated practices in four rating bands: 12 at 4.8 or higher, 4 between 4.5 and 4.79, 3 between 4.0 and 4.49 and 5 below 4.0. The five below 4.0 are Haverhill Dental Associates Inc (3.6 on 25 reviews), Jean L Beninato DMD, LLC (3.0 on 8), Dr Dental: Faigel Julia O DDS (3.0 on 2), Chopas Byron DDS (1.0 on 1) and Merrimack St Orthodontics (1.0 on 1, a separate record from Merrimack Street Orthodontics, P.C.). Leave them out and the other 19 average 4.74. A rating is a starting filter, not a verdict on the care; read an office’s reviews on Google and call before you rule it in or out.
The top six Haverhill practices by Dental.me Score
The table below lists the top six Haverhill practices by Dental.me Score, in Score order. The Dental.me 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. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order. Sorted by star rating alone the list would look different: five Haverhill offices are rated 5.0, and three of them rest on 3, 2 and 2 reviews.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joseph Anthony Cardarelli, Jr., D.M.D. | 5.0 | 2,393 | View profile |
| Joseph a. Cardarelli, Jr., D.M.D., P.C. | 4.9 | 180 | View profile |
| Atul Bansal | 4.8 | 303 | View profile |

| Caredental Associates | 5.0 | 144 | View profile |
| Nistar Pediatric Dentistry PLLC | 4.9 | 128 | View profile |
Joseph Anthony Cardarelli, Jr., D.M.D. is first, with a 5.0 on 2,393 Google reviews, the largest count in the city and more than the other five in the table hold together (917). A second record under the same dentist’s name, Joseph a. Cardarelli, Jr., D.M.D., P.C. (4.9 on 180), is second. Dental.me holds the two as separate listings, so open both profiles to see which address and phone number you want.
Atul Bansal (4.8 on 303) and Riverside Dental Associates, Inc. (4.8 on 162) are third and fourth. Caredental Associates holds a 5.0 on 144 and is fifth, and Nistar Pediatric Dentistry PLLC (4.9 on 128), on Haverhill’s pediatric dentist list, is sixth. Kugun Lee (4.9 on 112) is seventh and shares Nistar’s Score.
What the review counts tell you
Haverhill’s 5,617 Google reviews are not spread evenly. Joseph Anthony Cardarelli, Jr., D.M.D. holds 2,393 of them (43%). The next three counts are not in the table: Merrimack Street Orthodontics, P.C. (4.3 on 621, 14th on the Score), River’s Edge Family Dental (4.6 on 527, 11th) and Excel Dental of Haverhill LLC (4.5 on 319, 13th). The chart below plots the six largest counts, which hold 4,450 reviews (79%). It is not the Score table: only Cardarelli and Atul Bansal are in both.
A large count makes an average more precise, not better. A 4.8 on a few dozen reviews can move with a handful of new ones; a rating built on hundreds moves far less. Neither number measures clinical quality, so when two offices are close on rating, read the count behind each before you decide.
Website presence across Haverhill
Of the 38 practices in Haverhill, 19 have a website URL on file with Dental.me and 19 do not. A website lets you read what an office says about itself before you call; a missing URL is a gap in the directory record, not a judgment on the office. Dental.me does not record which insurance an office accepts. Ask about your plan when you call.
Specialties available in Haverhill
Dental.me publishes 12 service lists for Haverhill: teeth whitening 9, cosmetic dentists 9, orthodontists 7, Invisalign 7, dental implants 6, pediatric dentists 6, periodontists 6, emergency dentists 3, endodontists 3, dentures 2, oral surgeons 1. The prosthodontist list is empty. The orthodontist and Invisalign lists hold the same seven offices; Merrimack Street Orthodontics, P.C. is on neither, and is on the whitening, cosmetic, pediatric and emergency lists.
The cosmetic and whitening lists hold the same nine offices. The pediatric list holds six, including Nistar Pediatric Dentistry PLLC (4.9 on 128) and Caredental Associates (5.0 on 144), and the implant and periodontist lists hold six each. 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.
Looking just beyond Haverhill
Nearby communities have their own Dental.me directories: Bradford (8 practices, 4 rated), Methuen (63 practices, 35 rated), Georgetown (7 practices, 4 rated). Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live. The Haverhill directory lists all 38 practices.
How the Dental.me Score works
The star rating next to each Haverhill practice is its Google rating; the Dental.me Score is a separate figure. The Dental.me 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. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order. The twelve practices at 4.8 or higher are there on their Google ratings, and three of them rest on 3, 2 and 2 reviews.
Use the table as a starting point, read each rating beside its review count, use the service lists to match the work you need, and call to confirm. A rating and a review count do not tell you whether an office does your procedure, takes your insurance or can see you soon.
