Dentists in Maspeth, NY: Local Guide

Finding a good dentist in Maspeth, NY comes down to reading the numbers: 26 dental practices serve this Queens neighborhood, 16 carry a public rating, and those rated offices average a strong 4.67 stars across 634 reviews. Start with the highest-rated, website-listed practices below, then match one to your specialty need.

The numbers behind Maspeth’s dental options

Maspeth sits in central Queens, wedged between Newtown Creek to the north and the Long Island Expressway to the south, with Grand Avenue running through it as the main commercial spine. For a neighborhood of its footprint, 26 dental practices is a dense supply, and it means you rarely have to leave the ZIP 11378 area to see a dentist. The catch is coverage: of those 26 offices, 16 carry a public star rating and 10 do not yet have enough public feedback to score. That gap is normal in a residential Queens neighborhood where several offices are long-established solo practices, but it does mean your shortlist of ratable, comparable options is 16, not 26.

Across the 16 rated Maspeth practices, the average rating lands at 4.67 stars, and the whole rated group has accumulated 634 published reviews. On Dental.me, a practice’s Score weighs its star rating, its review volume, and whether the office has confirmed its own details, among other signals, so a 4.9 backed by 180 reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 backed by three. Reading Maspeth through that lens, the picture is encouraging: most of the rated supply clusters at the very top of the scale, which is exactly what the rating-band chart below shows.

It also helps to know what those 634 reviews represent in a neighborhood this compact. Maspeth’s rated supply is small enough that a single busy office can hold a quarter of all the feedback recorded in the area, and the three deepest-reviewed practices together account for more than 500 of the 634 reviews on file. That concentration is worth keeping in mind. A very high star rating attached to only a dozen or two reviews can still mark a fine office, but it gives you less to read than a slightly lower rating built on nearly two hundred. Weighing rating and review depth together, rather than chasing the single highest number, is the surest way to use Maspeth’s data well.

Highest-rated dentists in Maspeth

The table lists Maspeth’s six most-reviewed and highest-rated practices, sorted by star rating and then by review count. Every rating and review figure is drawn straight from each office’s current Dental.me profile, and the links go to those profiles where you can see hours, confirmed details, and specialty tags.

Three practices carry the weight of the neighborhood’s review history. Lauren Ballard DMD, PC holds a 4.9 across 182 reviews, the deepest review base in Maspeth; Grand Smile Dental sits at 4.8 across 181; and Maspeth USmiles Dental posts a perfect 5.0 across 157. Any of the three gives you a large, consistent record to read before you book. The smaller-volume offices, like Elzbieta Kopacz at 4.6 across 20 reviews, are worth a call if their location or hours fit you better. Note that Grand Smile appears twice in the top six, as the main Grand Smile Dental office and as its specialty arm, Grand Smile at Precision Maspeth Family Dental Specialty at 4.9 across 34, so check which one matches the service you need before you dial.

How Maspeth’s ratings break down

The 16 rated practices are heavily concentrated at the top of the scale. Thirteen of them sit at 4.8 stars or higher, two land in the 4.5-to-4.79 band, none fall in the 4.0-to-4.49 range, and a single office rates below 4.0. In plain terms, if you pick from the top band you are choosing among 13 well-regarded Maspeth offices, and the neighborhood’s downside risk is limited to one lower-rated outlier. That empty middle band is worth noticing: in Maspeth there is very little in the way of a mediocre tier, so your real decision is between many strong options rather than a long gradient of so-so ones.

Website coverage and the review base

Half of Maspeth’s practices have a website URL on file: 13 of the 26 offices link to a site directly from their Dental.me profile, while the other 13 do not have a website URL recorded. That does not tell you anything about the office itself, only whether a web address is stored, but in practice a listed site makes it faster to check services and request an appointment before you call. When two Maspeth offices look similar on rating and reviews, the one with a site on file is often the quicker path to a booking.

The other half of the story is review depth. Maspeth’s 634 published reviews are not spread evenly; they pile up on a handful of busy offices. The chart below shows how the top six practices compare on review count, and it explains why three names keep surfacing when residents talk about neighborhood dentists.

Specialty care available in Maspeth

Maspeth is not just general-dentistry coverage; the neighborhood carries a usable spread of specialty tags. Eight practices are tagged for dental implants, eight for cosmetic dentistry, and eight for teeth whitening, while five are tagged for periodontics and five for emergency dental care. If you need same-day or after-hours help, that pool of five emergency-tagged offices is the fastest place to start; for implants or a smile makeover, you have eight tagged options to compare on rating and reviews.

Keep in mind these tags overlap, so the same well-reviewed office may appear under implants, cosmetic, and whitening at once. The right move is to shortlist by the specialty you need, then rank that shortlist by rating and review depth using the table above. You can browse the full, current specialty lists from the Maspeth city hub, which stays in sync with each office’s confirmed tags. For a planned procedure like an implant, it is reasonable to compare two or three of the eight tagged offices on both their star rating and how many reviews stand behind it before you commit.

Emergency and after-hours dental care

A cracked tooth or sudden abscess does not wait for business hours, so it is worth knowing your options before you need them. Maspeth lists five offices tagged for emergency dental care, which is a meaningful base for a neighborhood this size. That is nearly a third of the 16 rated practices, so you are not down to a single fallback if one office cannot fit you in. Because Maspeth is compact and hemmed in by Newtown Creek and the Long Island Expressway, an emergency-tagged office here is usually only a short trip from home, and several of the highest-rated general practices in the table above also carry the emergency tag. The practical approach is to note one or two emergency-tagged names now, save their profiles, and confirm directly whether they can see you same-day when the need arises, since a tag signals the service is offered rather than guaranteeing an open slot at any given hour.

Looking just beyond Maspeth’s borders

Maspeth is tightly ringed by other Queens neighborhoods, so widening your search by a few blocks can meaningfully expand your options without a long trip. Directly east, Middle Village shares a border with Maspeth across the cemeteries along the Metropolitan Avenue corridor. To the southwest, Glendale sits just past the rail cut, and to the northwest Elmhurst is a short hop up toward the Long Island Expressway and Queens Boulevard. Each of those directory hubs lists its own rated practices, so if a Maspeth office is booked out or does not carry the specialty you need, a neighboring hub is the logical next click.

This matters most for narrow needs. Maspeth’s five emergency-tagged and five periodontal-tagged offices are a solid base, but if none has an opening when you need one, pulling the adjacent Middle Village, Glendale, or Elmhurst lists gives you more scheduling room while keeping you inside a short radius of central Queens. It is the same logic you would use for a second opinion: stay close, but do not limit yourself to a single ZIP code when a neighboring one is a few minutes away.

How to choose a Maspeth dentist

Put the numbers to work in order. First, decide whether you need general care or a specialty; if it is a specialty, start from the tagged pool rather than the whole 26-office list. Second, rank your shortlist by rating and, just as importantly, by review depth, since a 4.9 across 182 reviews is a sturdier signal than a high score on a handful of ratings. Third, favor an office with a website URL on file when you want to check services before calling, remembering that half of Maspeth’s practices list one. Finally, if your top pick is unavailable, use the Middle Village, Glendale, and Elmhurst hubs before settling. With 13 offices at 4.8 stars or higher and only one rated below 4.0, Maspeth gives you real room to be selective, so treat the shortlist as a comparison exercise rather than a search for a single acceptable option. A neighborhood with 26 practices, a 4.67-star rated average, and 634 reviews on record hands you enough signal to choose with confidence rather than settle for the first name you find.
