Finding a good dentist in Hazleton starts with a short, honest shortlist: the Dental.me directory tracks 30 dental practices across the city, 18 of them carrying enough patient feedback to earn a rating, and those rated offices average 4.27 stars, so a strong, well-reviewed choice is genuinely within reach here in Luzerne County.
Hazleton’s dental landscape at a glance
Hazleton sits high on Spring Mountain in southern Luzerne County, one of the higher-elevation cities in Pennsylvania, reached from Interstate 81 and Route 309 and ringed by the boroughs and townships of West Hazleton, Hazle Township, Drums and Sugarloaf. Within that compact footprint the Dental.me directory lists 30 dental practices. Of those, 18 have accumulated enough patient feedback to carry a star rating, and together they hold 2,111 published reviews — a meaningful body of experience for a city this size. The rated group averages 4.27 stars, which places Hazleton’s dental care firmly in solid territory rather than borderline. The practical takeaway is that you are not choosing blindly: nearly two-thirds of the offices in town come with a rating attached, and the spread between the strongest and the weakest is wide enough that comparing them is worth your time before you book.
The Hazleton dental directory hub collects every one of those 30 listings in one place, with each office’s rating, review count and profile, so you can move from this overview straight into the specific practices that fit your needs.
Top-rated dental practices in Hazleton
The table below ranks the practices Dental.me surfaces for Hazleton by star rating, with review count breaking any ties. One name stands apart on volume: Ross M Wezmar, DDS, PC holds 979 reviews at a 4.6 rating — by itself close to half of every review recorded across the city — which makes it the most heavily documented dental practice in Hazleton by a wide margin. Ratings alone do not tell the whole story, so read the star figure alongside the number of reviews behind it: a 5.0 built on five reviews is a promising signal but a thin one, while a 4.6 built on hundreds is a far more settled picture.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dental Specialists of Northeast PA Root Canal & Implant Dentistry PC | 5.0 | 5 | View profile |
| Gerald Williams | 4.8 | 11 | View profile |
| Ross M Wezmar, DDS, PC | 4.6 | 979 | View profile |
| Anthomy Dangelo | 4.6 | 58 | View profile |
| Paul Capparell | 4.6 | 16 | View profile |
| Anna Khodzhayeva-Mariano | 4.5 | 24 | View profile |
Every practice in this table clears 4.5 stars, so a shopper who simply wants a well-regarded general dentist in Hazleton can start at the top and work down. If broad experience matters most to you, the review count column points to Wezmar; if you are drawn to the newest strong performers, Gerald Williams at 4.8 and the 5.0-rated Dental Specialists office are worth a closer look even though their review totals are still building.
How the ratings break down
Averages hide shape, so it helps to see how Hazleton’s 18 rated practices distribute across quality bands. Eight of them sit at 4.8 stars or higher — the strongest tier — while four land in the 4.5-to-4.79 range and two more in the 4.0-to-4.49 range. Four practices fall below 4.0. In other words, twelve of the eighteen rated offices clear 4.5 stars, and the top band alone accounts for eight of them.
The four practices below 4.0 are the reason it pays to compare rather than pick the first name you find. With a dozen offices sitting comfortably above 4.5, there is little reason to settle, and the band chart makes the safest part of the field easy to see at a glance.
Website coverage and getting in touch
Of Hazleton’s 30 listed practices, 7 have a website URL on file in the directory. That is worth knowing before you plan your outreach: for the seven offices with a link, you can often check services, forms and hours online first, while for the remaining twenty-three the fastest route is usually a phone call or a stop at the office. A missing website URL is a note about what the directory has on file, not a judgment on the practice — several strongly rated offices in town simply have no link recorded yet.
When an office has no URL recorded, the profile page on the directory still gives you its rating and review count, and the Hazleton hub lets you line up several candidates before you dial. Calling ahead is a good way to confirm current details for any office, whether or not it keeps a website.
Review volume: where the feedback concentrates
Hazleton’s 2,111 reviews are not spread evenly. The chart below plots the review counts behind the city’s top-rated offices, and it shows how concentrated the feedback is: Ross M Wezmar, DDS, PC carries 979 of those reviews on its own, while the next names on the chart — Anthomy Dangelo at 58 and Anna Khodzhayeva-Mariano at 24 — trail far behind. This matters because a rating built on hundreds of reviews has been tested many more times than one built on a handful.
Read the two together. Wezmar’s 4.6 is the most road-tested rating in Hazleton, while the other offices offer high marks on a lighter sample. Neither is inherently better — a newer practice can absolutely deserve its stars — but knowing the volume behind a number keeps your expectations honest.
Specialty care and nearby communities
Most people in Hazleton are looking for a general dentist, but families with young children have a specific option to weigh: the directory records 5 pediatric dentists serving the city. If your search is for a dentist who focuses on kids, start with the Hazleton pediatric dentists listing rather than filtering the general pool by hand. For root canals and implants, the specialist office in the table above — Dental Specialists of Northeast PA Root Canal & Implant Dentistry PC — names those procedures directly in its listing.
Because Hazleton is compact and its neighbors are only minutes away, your practical choice extends past the city line. If nothing in town fits your schedule or your family’s needs, the adjacent directories are the natural next stop: the West Hazleton dental directory, the Hazle Township listings, and the nearby Drums directory and Sugarloaf directory each cover their own set of practices. Checking one or two of them alongside Hazleton gives you a fuller shortlist without traveling far.
How the Dental.me Score works
Every rating you have seen here is part of the Dental.me Score, and it is worth being clear about what that is. The Score is earned, never sold. It weighs a practice’s star rating, the volume of reviews behind it, and whether the office has been confirmed, among other signals, to produce a single figure you can compare across the 30 practices in Hazleton. No office can pay to move its Score up or down. The only thing money changes on Dental.me is Featured placement, which is labeled as such — it does not lift a practice’s rating, its review count, or where it lands when you sort the field by quality. That separation is the point: when you compare Wezmar’s 4.6 against a lighter-reviewed office’s 4.8, you are comparing two earned numbers on the same footing. Use the rating to gauge quality, use the review count to gauge how tested that quality is, and use the Hazleton directory to keep the whole field in front of you while you decide.
