To find a good dentist in Hermitage, start with the 30 dental practices Dental.me tracks across this Mercer County city, 22 of which carry enough patient feedback to earn a star rating that averages 4.53. Sort by that score, weigh each office’s review volume, and confirm the practice details before you pick up the phone.
That short answer hides a longer story, because Hermitage is a compact market where a handful of practices carry most of the city’s reputation. The 22 rated offices here hold 3,011 reviews between them, and those reviews cluster heavily at the top of the scale. Below, we break down exactly how Hermitage’s dentists stack up, which offices lead on rating and volume, where to find specialty care, and how to read the numbers so you choose with confidence rather than guessing.
The numbers behind Hermitage’s dental market
Hermitage sits at the western edge of Mercer County, a few minutes from the Ohio line, and its dental market is small enough to understand fully in one sitting. Dental.me lists 30 practices inside the city. Of those, 22 have accumulated enough public feedback to hold a star rating, while the remaining eight are tracked but not yet rated. The rated group averages 4.53 stars, which is high, but the average alone conceals how top-heavy the distribution really is.
Look at the band breakdown and the picture sharpens: 13 of the 22 rated practices score 4.8 stars or higher, only 2 land in the 4.5 to 4.79 range, 5 fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and 2 sit below 4.0. In other words, most of Hermitage’s rated offices are excellent, a thin middle exists, and a small tail pulls the average down. Your job is less about avoiding a bad experience and more about matching one of the strong offices to what you actually need.
Top-rated dental practices in Hermitage
These are the six Hermitage practices with the strongest combination of rating and review depth, ordered by star rating and then by number of reviews. Ten offices hold a perfect 5.0 average, and one, Thomas Family Dentistry, has gathered more than a third of the entire city’s reviews on its own. Use the table as a shortlist, then open each profile to see the detail behind the number.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dale Spadafora | 5.0 | 397 | View profile |
| Kevin Gagliardi | 5.0 | 200 | View profile |
| Dana E. Craig, D.D.S., P.C. | 5.0 | 33 | View profile |
| Thomas Family Dentistry | 4.9 | 1,146 | View profile |
| Dr. Richard Ribarevski | 4.9 | 93 | View profile |
| Keystone OMS | 4.8 | 342 | View profile |
Notice how differently these offices earn their standing. A 5.0 built on 397 reviews, like Dale Spadafora’s, reflects a long, consistent track record, while a 5.0 across 33 reviews signals a strong but smaller sample. Thomas Family Dentistry’s 4.9 rests on 1,146 reviews, the deepest pool in Hermitage by a wide margin, so its score has been tested far more than any other. Keystone OMS, at 4.8 over 342 reviews, is an oral and maxillofacial surgery practice, which is worth knowing when you compare it against general dentists on the same list.
How to read a Hermitage rating
A star rating is only as trustworthy as the number of reviews behind it, and Hermitage makes that lesson easy to see. The two figures work together: rating tells you how reviewers scored the office, and review count tells you how many ratings that average is drawn from. A high score on a handful of reviews can move if one strong or weak visit gets added, whereas a high score on several hundred is far more stable.
Practically, that means you should read the top of the table in two ways. If you want the deepest, most battle-tested reputation in the city, Thomas Family Dentistry’s 4.9 across 1,146 reviews is unmatched locally. If you value a spotless average and a substantial sample, Dale Spadafora’s 5.0 on 397 reviews is compelling. The smaller-sample 5.0 practices are excellent bets too, but treat their scores as promising rather than proven, and let a phone conversation fill the gap. Across the whole city, 3,011 reviews spread over 22 rated offices is plenty of signal to choose well.
Website coverage and confirming an office
Before you commit to any Hermitage practice, verify the practical details, because a great rating does not tell you whether an office takes your insurance or has an opening this week. Of the 30 practices tracked in the city, 13 have a website URL on file with Dental.me. That is a useful shortcut for the offices that have one, letting you scan services and forms before you ever call. For the 17 without a website URL on file, the practice profile plus a direct phone call is your most reliable path to hours, insurance, and new-patient availability.
When you do call, keep the conversation concrete: ask whether the office is accepting new patients, whether your specific plan is in network, and how soon the next cleaning or consult slot is. A quick call resolves most of these, though scheduling and coverage can shift week to week, so treat the answers as current rather than permanent.
Specialty care available in Hermitage
For a city its size, Hermitage carries a solid spread of specialty options, so you rarely have to leave town for anything beyond routine cleanings. Dental.me tags 9 cosmetic dentists and 9 teeth-whitening providers, the two largest specialty groups, which reflects real local demand for smile work. On the restorative side, 8 practices offer dental implants and 5 periodontists handle gum health and the foundations that implants depend on. For urgent problems, 5 practices are tagged for emergency dentistry.
To go deeper on any of these, browse the dedicated Hermitage lists for cosmetic dentists in Hermitage, dental implant providers in Hermitage, or emergency dentists in Hermitage. Keystone OMS, the highest-volume surgical office on our shortlist, is a natural first stop for extractions and implant placement, though you should still confirm that a given office performs your specific procedure.
Looking just beyond Hermitage
Hermitage anchors a cluster of small Shenango Valley communities, and if the right fit is not inside the city limits, several neighbors are only minutes away. That matters most for tight scheduling or a specialty a particular office does not cover, since crossing into the next town rarely adds more than a short drive.
Directly southwest, dentists in Sharon sit essentially next door and expand your options considerably. Immediately south, dentists in Farrell are another close alternative, and just north, dentists in Sharpsville round out the practical radius. Widening slightly further reaches West Middlesex and New Wilmington, but Sharon, Farrell, and Sharpsville are the ones most Hermitage residents can treat as interchangeable with their home city. Start with the full Hermitage dentist directory, then spill into these neighbors only if you need to.
How the Dental.me Score works
Every rating and ranking on this page is built from public information, not from anything a practice pays for. The Dental.me Score weighs a practice’s star rating, its review volume, and whether its office details are confirmed, among other signals, and combines them into a single comparable number. That is why a 4.9 backed by 1,146 reviews and a 5.0 backed by 33 reviews can land near each other yet still tell you different things once you look closely.
The distinction that matters most: the Score is earned, never sold. No Hermitage office can buy a higher rating or a better rank, and nothing on this list is ordered by who paid. The only element that can be paid for anywhere on Dental.me is a Featured placement, which is labeled as such and does not change the underlying Score. So when you use the table above to build your shortlist, you are reading the same evidence any patient would, organized so the strongest matches in Hermitage surface first.
