Kingston has 49 dental practice listings and 24 Google ratings, and most of its reviews sit between 4.0 and 4.79 stars. Ten offices hold 4.8 stars or higher, with 1,746 of the 4,432 reviews (39%). Six sit below 4.0, with 70 reviews (2%). The eight in between have 2,616 (59%), including the largest record in the city. Read each rating with its review count before you book.

The city’s average rating is 4.33 and its median 4.7. The 24 rated practices hold 4,432 Google reviews between them. That is roughly 185 apiece on average, but half of the rated offices have 19 reviews or fewer, and the six most-reviewed offices hold 3,765 of the 4,432 (85%). A Google rating summarizes reviews posted on Google, not clinical quality, so this guide reads each rating beside its review count.

The 25 Kingston listings with no Google rating

25 of Kingston’s 49 practices have no Google rating on file, slightly more than half, and Dental.me does not record why. A missing rating says nothing about the care. Seven of the 25 give the phone number, street or URL of a rated row, so they may not be further offices at all. For the rest, a phone call is the way to learn more.

20 of the 49 practices have a website URL on file (41%), and 24 of the 29 with no URL also have no rating. A missing URL is a missing field here, not proof that an office has no site. All but one of the 49 rows give a phone number, and posted weekly hours are stored for 17. Dental.me holds no appointment, availability or insurance data, so call to ask. The Kingston practice directory lists all 49 rows over four pages, 15 to a page, with Featured cards first on page 1.

Reading the rating bands

Among the 24 practices with a Google rating, the bands read differently by office and by review. The top and bottom bands hold 16 of the 24 offices, while the two middle bands hold 2,616 of the 4,432 reviews.

Before drawing conclusions, look at how much evidence sits behind each band. The six offices below 4.0 rest on 70 reviews between them (27, 15, 14, 5, 5 and 4), so each of those ratings can still move a long way. At the top, four of the ten offices at 4.8 or higher rest on 2 reviews or fewer, while four hold a 4.9 or 5.0 on 100 or more reviews.

With ten offices at 4.8 or higher, more than a few names sit at the top, though only six of the ten rest on more than 2 reviews. The eight offices between 4.0 and 4.79 are not a thin middle: Alejandro Wiscovitch Russo (4.4 across 949), PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY OF KINGSTON (4.7 across 675), STEVEN GROSSMAN DDS PC (4.7 across 610) and PINE STREET DENTAL ASSOCIATES, P.C. (4.7 across 260) are all there. In Kingston, the star rating and the review count belong together.

The six highest Dental.me Scores

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, so it does not follow stars alone. The six offices below hold Kingston’s six highest Scores, and none of them rests on fewer than 58 reviews.

Oppenheimer Dentistry is #1 by Dental.me Score, holding a 4.9 rating across 816 reviews, 18% of Kingston’s 4,432 reviews and the second-largest record after Alejandro Wiscovitch Russo (4.4 across 949). Eugene Destefano is #2, with a 4.9 across 455 reviews.

Efros Orthodontics is #3, with a 5.0 across 240 reviews, and Dr. Grigoriy Efros is #4 with a 4.9 across 148. The two rows give one address, phone number and URL, so #3 and #4 may be one office, and an unrated EFROS ORTHODONTICS PLLC row gives the same street. All three are on the orthodontics list, which holds eight practices — the same eight as the Invisalign list.

Pediatric Dentistry of Kingston is #6 by Score, with 675 reviews at a 4.7 — the third-highest review count in the city. Its name points to children’s dentistry, and it is also on the orthodontist, Invisalign, implant, emergency and oral-surgeon lists, so ask which work is done there and for which ages. Joseph Diacovo is #5, with a 4.8 across 58 reviews, and is on none of the 12 service lists.

Three more Kingston offices hold 260 reviews or more outside the six: Alejandro Wiscovitch Russo (4.4 across 949), STEVEN GROSSMAN DDS PC (4.7 across 610) and PINE STREET DENTAL ASSOCIATES, P.C. (4.7 across 260). A 5.0 on a few reviews can move a long way with one new rating. Four of Kingston’s five 5.0 ratings rest on 2 reviews or fewer, and one of those, Dr. Dennis Oppenheimer (5.0 on 1), gives the same address, phone number and URL as Oppenheimer Dentistry.

Rows, addresses and phone numbers

A row is a record, not proof of a separate office. The 49 rows hold 45 distinct phone numbers, so totals on this page count listings, not distinct offices. Seven of the 25 unrated rows give the phone number, street or URL of a rated row.

1159 Ulster Ave holds three rows. Alejandro Wiscovitch Russo (4.4 on 949), the largest record in the city, gives an Aspen Dental address and URL and sits on 8 of the 12 lists; Andrew Lee, whose address also names Aspen Dental, and Kirk Jagdeo are unrated. A record of that size on one person’s row may belong to the location rather than the person, and Dental.me does not establish which.

PINE STREET DENTAL ASSOCIATES, P.C. (4.7 on 260) gives 138 Pine St. An unrated Charles Fliegler row gives the same street, and an unrated Paige Backenstose row gives its phone number at 139 Pine St. A Dental Office row with no phone number gives Kings Mall Ct and the kingstondental.com URL, which is also STEVEN GROSSMAN DDS PC’s. Martin Schiff (unrated) gives the same street as Dr. Samuel Pai, DDS (3.1 on 15).

One name can hold two different records. DR LILY ZHANG, DMD at 150 Hurley Ave holds a 4.7 on 81 and sits on 8 lists; Lily Zhang at 40 Hurley Ave Suite 11 holds a 3.0 on 14 and is on the endodontist list. An unrated Dennis Oppenheimer row gives 195 Washington Ave, a different address from Oppenheimer Dentistry.

Two of the six rows below 4.0 may not be private offices: Dental Care Center of Kingston (2.6 on 27) has a New York State opwdd.ny.gov URL, and Bevon Burnett (2.6 on 5), at 1 Family Practice Dr, has institute.org. Both stay in the counts. Dental.me does not establish how any of these rows relate, so ask which office you have reached when you call.

Which services Kingston’s lists cover

Dental.me keeps 12 service lists for each city. In Kingston, implants is the longest list, and the prosthodontist list is empty. A list shows which offices list a service, not who is a specialist. Only 18 of the 49 rows are on any list, and 12 of the 24 rated offices are on none, Score #5 among them.

The practical reading: dental implants is the longest list in the city, ten offices. Cosmetic dentistry lists 8 and teeth whitening 4 (all four are also on the cosmetic list). Orthodontics and Invisalign list the same 8; periodontics and emergency care list 6 each, and pediatric dentistry 5. The shortest lists are endodontics (3), oral surgery (3) and dentures (2); the prosthodontist list is empty. All three endodontist rows sit below 4.5 stars (4.4, 4.4 and 3.0), and the three oral-surgeon rows are two unrated rows plus Pediatric Dentistry of Kingston. Dental.me holds no appointment data, so for an urgent problem, it’s worth identifying your office before you need it rather than after.

A way to choose among 49 listings

Four steps, using what is on file. A star cut-off removes more than it seems to: a 4.5 floor would drop the largest record in the city and all three endodontist rows.

Applied to Kingston, those steps do not produce one shortlist, because they depend on the work you need. Oppenheimer Dentistry and Eugene Destefano hold the two highest Scores. The two Efros rows and Pediatric Dentistry of Kingston are all on both the orthodontist and pediatric lists. Rows on no list, and unrated rows, take a phone call to learn more. If you want to see how the Score is built, our ranking methodology lays out the full approach.

When it’s worth looking just outside Kingston

Nearby towns have their own listings. In Ulster County, Lake Katrine lists 3 practices (2 with a Google rating), West Hurley 2 (1), Woodstock 5 (1) and Rifton 2 (none rated). Across the Hudson in Dutchess County, Rhinebeck lists 7 (4) and Red Hook 6 (2). Together they add 25 practices, 10 of them rated, and none lists as many as Kingston’s 49; Poughkeepsie (85 practices, 49 rated) does. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check each office’s address before you book.

A short list here is not always longer nearby. Kingston’s prosthodontist list is empty; Lake Katrine holds one row, and Poughkeepsie and the other five towns hold none. Against Kingston’s three endodontist rows, Poughkeepsie holds four, Lake Katrine one and the other five towns none. West Hurley and Rifton read 0 on all eight lists we fetched.

Wherever you land, the same checks apply: read the rating with its count, check the row’s address and phone number, and ask the office about the work you need. Start from the full Kingston directory.

Dental.me organizes dental directory data so patients can compare offices with confidence. Use each practice profile and its available website, map, and phone details for current appointment, payment, and care decisions.
