Finding a good dentist in Hewlett starts with a short, honest map: Dental.me tracks 37 dental practices across this Nassau County village, 22 of them carrying enough patient feedback to earn a score, at a strong average rating of 4.49. This guide shows you how to read those numbers and choose a chair with confidence.
Hewlett sits at the northern edge of the Five Towns, wedged between Woodmere to the south and the Queens line to the west, so a resident here is rarely more than a few minutes’ drive from a dozen offices. That density is a gift and a trap: plenty of choice, but plenty of noise. The point of this page is to cut through it using only what the record actually shows about Hewlett, and nothing it doesn’t.
How Hewlett’s 37 practices break down
Of the 37 practices Dental.me lists inside Hewlett, 22 have accumulated enough patient feedback to receive a Dental.me Score. The other 15 are real offices that simply haven’t gathered a scoreable volume of ratings yet, and Dental.me does not record why. When a village this compact still fields 37 distinct listings, it tells you the Five Towns market offers real choice. For context, Hewlett proper covers barely more than a square mile, so 37 offices is a remarkable density—you are choosing among neighbors, not scouring a county. It also means the ratings are worth reading closely, because the next office is never far away.
The scored group is where the signal lives. Across those 22 practices the average rating lands at 4.49, which is high in absolute terms and worth pausing on: it means most of the offices patients actually took the time to rate are clustered near the top of the scale. Your job in Hewlett is less about avoiding a disaster and more about separating a genuinely excellent office from a merely good one, and the rating bands below are the sharpest tool for that.
The top-rated practices in Hewlett
The table below ranks Hewlett’s six most-reviewed scored practices by rating, then by review count. Two orthodontic listings under the Kleinrock name lead on volume, while several general and cosmetic offices hold a perfect rating on a deeper or shallower base of reviews. Read rating and review count together: a 5.0 on 878 ratings is a far heavier claim than a 5.0 on 52, though both are strong signals in a village this size.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kleinrock Orthodontics, PLLC | 5.0 | 878 | View profile |
| Kleinrock Orthodontics: Dr. Seth Kleinrock, D.D.S. | 5.0 | 477 | View profile |
| MIR Dental of Hewlett, Amir "Asher" Sadighpour DDS | 5.0 | 111 | View profile |
| Hewlett Dental Excellence | 5.0 | 104 | View profile |
| Ronald M. Margolies, D.M.D., P.C. | 5.0 | 52 | View profile |
| Joshua Wolf DDS PC | 4.8 | 333 | View profile |
A quick way to use this: if you want orthodontic care, the two Kleinrock Orthodontics listings between them carry more than 1,300 ratings, the deepest review count on the page. For general and cosmetic work, Joshua Wolf DDS PC pairs a 4.8 with 333 ratings, and Hewlett Dental Excellence holds a perfect score on a solid base of 104.
Reading Hewlett’s rating bands
The Dental.me Score sorts each scored practice into a band. Hewlett’s 22 scored offices split heavily toward the top: 13 sit at 4.8 or above, 2 land in the 4.5–4.79 range, 3 fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and 4 sit below 4.0. That shape—a fat top and a thin, distinct tail—is exactly what makes Hewlett easy to navigate. When nearly three-fifths of the rated field is excellent, the four practices below 4.0 stand out clearly, and the middle is small enough that you rarely have to agonize over a borderline call.
Website coverage across the village
Fifteen of Hewlett’s 37 practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me—about 40 percent of the market. That doesn’t mean the other 22 offices lack a web presence; it means we don’t have a confirmed address for them in the record. Practically, a listing with a website URL on file gives you a faster path to services, insurance details, and new-patient forms before you ever pick up the phone. When two Hewlett practices look comparable on rating, an office with its own site on file often saves you a round of questions.
Review depth: 2,174 voices behind the scores
Hewlett’s scored practices rest on 2,174 ratings in total, and that volume is not spread evenly. A handful of offices carry most of it. The chart below shows the review counts behind the six practices in the table above, which alone account for the large majority of the village’s feedback. This matters because rating stability rises with volume: a 5.0 built on 878 ratings barely moves with one bad week, while a 5.0 on 52 can swing more. Neither is a red flag—both are strong—but the deeper base gives you more certainty per star.
Specialty care in and around Hewlett
Hewlett is not just general dentistry. The listings tag a working spread of specialties, so most residents can stay inside the village for all but the rarest procedure. Cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening are the widest categories at 7 practices each, followed by dental implants, orthodontics, and Invisalign at 6 apiece, with endodontics and periodontics at 5 each. If you’re weighing a specific treatment, start from the specialty view rather than the general list—it narrows 37 offices to the handful that actually do the work.
You can jump straight to the fields that matter most locally: browse cosmetic dentists in Hewlett, compare dental implant providers, or line up orthodontists in Hewlett if straightening is on the agenda. Each of those pages filters to only the practices that offer the treatment, with the same ratings you see here.
How the Dental.me Score is earned in Hewlett
It’s fair to ask why one Hewlett office scores a full 5.0 and another 4.8 when both look strong on paper. The Dental.me Score is earned, never sold. It weighs a practice’s average rating, the volume of feedback behind that rating, and whether the office’s details have been confirmed—so a high rating on a thin sliver of reviews carries less weight than the same rating on hundreds. That’s why the two Kleinrock orthodontic listings, with 878 and 477 ratings between them, sit at the top of Hewlett’s table: their scores rest on a base too deep to be a fluke. The only thing a practice can pay for is a Featured placement, which is labeled as such and never buys a higher score. When you compare two Hewlett offices, you’re comparing review records, not ad budgets.
This is where Hewlett’s tight rating distribution helps you. With 13 of 22 scored practices already at 4.8 or above, the score alone won’t always break a tie—several offices are genuinely excellent. Use the review count as your tiebreaker, then let specialty and location decide. A 5.0 across 104 ratings at Hewlett Dental Excellence and a 5.0 across 52 at Ronald M. Margolies are both strong; the difference is how much evidence stands behind each, and only you can weigh that against a five-minute-shorter drive.
Building your Hewlett shortlist in three steps
The fastest way through 37 listings is to work backward from what you need. First, name the treatment. If it’s routine cleanings and fillings, almost any of the 13 top-band offices will serve; if it’s braces, implants, or a root canal, jump to the specialty pages and let the filter shrink the field to the 5 to 7 practices that actually offer it. Second, sort what’s left by review depth, not just stars—in a village where nearly everyone is rated highly, volume is the honest differentiator. Third, check whether a website URL is on file for your finalists; with only 15 of 37 practices carrying one, a confirmed site is a genuine convenience for reviewing services and forms before you commit.
From there, a short call settles the practical questions a directory can’t: which insurance plans an office takes this year, whether it’s accepting new patients, and how soon it can see you. Nothing here promises a phone call resolves everything—availability shifts week to week—but walking in with a shortlist of two or three scored Hewlett practices, chosen on rating and review depth, means every option you’re weighing already clears a high bar. That’s the advantage of a market where the average rated office earns 4.49: your worst realistic choice is still a good one.
Looking just beyond the village line
Because Hewlett is so small and the Five Towns run together, it’s worth glancing one town over before you settle. A ten-minute drive materially widens your options, especially for a specialist with a specific opening or an office closer to the Long Island Rail Road. Neighboring Woodmere sits immediately south and shares much of Hewlett’s dental catchment, Cedarhurst anchors the commercial heart of the Five Towns, and Lawrence rounds out the trio to the southeast. Each links to its own directory hub with local ratings, so you can compare a Hewlett office against the practice one village away on the same terms.
When you’ve narrowed the list, open the full Hewlett dentist directory to see all 37 practices in one place, ranked by Dental.me Score, and confirm the details that matter to you—location, the specialties you need, and whether a website URL is on file. The record here is deep enough to choose well without leaving the village, and wide enough that a second opinion is never far. Between Hewlett’s own 37 practices and the Five Towns offices a short drive away, few South Shore residents have more strong options within reach—the task is simply narrowing them, and the numbers on this page are built to do exactly that.
