Finding a good dentist in Lyndhurst, OH starts with narrowing the 35 area practices down to the 26 that carry a Google rating, which together average 4.43 stars across 2,842 reviews. Focus first on the 15 offices scoring 4.8 or higher, cross-check their review counts, then call two or three finalists before you book.
How Lyndhurst’s dental market breaks down
Dental.me lists 35 dental practices in Lyndhurst. Twenty-six of them carry a Google star rating; the other nine have no rating on file, for reasons Dental.me does not record, so a missing rating is an absence of data, not a verdict on the office. Dental.me has a website on file for 24 of the 35, posted weekly hours for 21 and a phone number for all 35.
Those 26 rated offices average 4.43 stars across 2,842 combined reviews, and the field is not uniform. The six most-reviewed offices hold 1,990 of those reviews (70 percent), 13 of the 26 have 22 reviews or fewer, and 15 have fewer than 50. Seven offices sit below 4.0 and pull the average down. The numbers below show where each office lands.
Where Lyndhurst’s dentists land on rating
The clearest way to read this market is by rating band. Of the 26 rated Lyndhurst practices, 15 score 4.8 stars or higher. Two more land in the 4.5-to-4.79 range, two sit between 4.0 and 4.49, and seven fall below 4.0. More than half the rated field clears 4.8, so the star number alone will not separate your shortlist; review counts will.
Read the band chart as a filter, not a verdict. A 4.8-plus rating earns an office a place on your list, but it doesn’t automatically make it the right fit for your family, your insurance, or the specific work you need. Use the top tier to build a shortlist of five or six names, then apply the finer screens in the sections that follow.
Top-rated dental practices in Lyndhurst
The table shows the six practices with the highest Dental.me Score, sorted by rating and then by review count. All six are rated 4.9 or 5.0. 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. Click any practice to open its full Dental.me profile.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Family Dental | 5.0 | 326 | View profile |
| Margaret Frankel | 5.0 | 216 | View profile |
| M Mark Lepore DDS, Inc | 5.0 | 177 | View profile |
| Timothy Vala | 4.9 | 448 | View profile |
| Whole Life Dentistry | 4.9 | 250 | View profile |
| Legacy Dental Care | 4.9 | 212 | View profile |
Three of these offices show a 5.0: Silver Family Dental has the most reviews of the three, 326, followed by Margaret Frankel at 216 and M Mark Lepore DDS, Inc at 177. A 5.0 across hundreds of reviews moves less with each new review than a 5.0 across a dozen, which is why Silver Family Dental also leads Lyndhurst on the Dental.me Score.
Timothy Vala is rated 4.9 on 448 reviews, the largest record of the six in the table; a 4.9 on that many reviews moves less with each new review than a 4.9 on a thin record. Whole Life Dentistry (4.9 on 250) and Legacy Dental Care (4.9 on 212) complete the table. Six other Lyndhurst offices are rated 5.0, each on six reviews or fewer.
Website coverage and what it tells you
Of the 35 Lyndhurst practices, 24 have a website URL on file and 11 do not. That’s roughly a two-thirds share, and the website column is all our records hold on that point. A missing website URL on file is a gap in our records, not a verdict on the office. It simply means you’ll gather your pre-visit details by phone.
A website URL on file is a convenience, not a quality signal: it gives you somewhere to read about the office before you call. On the call, ask whether the office takes your plan and whether it does the specific procedure you need. Dental.me does not record which insurance an office accepts. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
How much feedback stands behind each rating
A star rating means far more when a large number of reviews stands behind it. Lyndhurst’s 2,842 reviews are not spread evenly; the six practices in the table above hold 1,629 of them (57 percent), and the single most-reviewed office, Lyndhurst Oh – Dr Joan Salido Inc (3.5 stars, 538 reviews), is not among them. The chart below shows review volume for those six, and it makes the point plainly: Timothy Vala’s 448 reviews stand behind a 4.9, while Silver Family Dental’s 326 back a 5.0.
When you compare two offices with similar ratings, review volume helps separate them. A 4.9 built on 448 reviews rests on more than twenty times as many ratings as a 4.9 built on twenty, though neither number predicts your own visit. A small review count is a reason to ask more questions on your call, not a verdict on the office.
Lyndhurst’s service lists
Dental.me keeps 12 service lists for Lyndhurst, and 11 have at least one office on them; the prosthodontist list has none. The longest are dental implants (9 offices), teeth whitening (8), and the cosmetic and pediatric lists (7 each). The chart below shows all 12, longest first. Lists come from each listing’s business categories, not from credentials, so confirm the service with the office.
The orthodontist, Invisalign and periodontist lists hold 6 offices each, the emergency and endodontist lists 3 each, and the oral surgeon and denture lists 2 each. Whole Life Dentistry is on nine of the 12 lists, the most of any Lyndhurst office. A place on the emergency list is not a promise of same-day or after-hours care, so ask each office how it handles urgent visits. 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. To see all 35 practices, rated and unrated, use the Lyndhurst dentist directory.

How to choose, step by step
Put the numbers to work in order. First, use the rating bands to draw a line at 4.8 and pull the 15 offices at or above it onto a shortlist. Second, read each rating with its review count: nine offices in that band rest on 99 reviews or more, while six are 5.0 ratings on six reviews or fewer. Third, open the service list for the work you need. Fourth, call your final two or three and ask whether they take your plan, whether they do the procedure themselves and how soon they can see you.
The data narrows the field; the phone call confirms the fit. Start from the table above or the full Lyndhurst dentist directory and open the profiles that interest you.
