Dental.me lists 42 dental practices in Melville, and 20 of them carry a Google rating; together they hold 636 reviews. The other 22 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 posted weekly hours for 13 of the 42 practices and a phone number for all 42. Half of the 20 rated offices rest on 10 reviews or fewer.
The reviews are concentrated. Two practices, Long Island Family Dental (182 reviews) and Faber Orthodontics (170 reviews), hold 352 of the 636 reviews (55%), and the other 18 rated offices share the rest. Dental.me does not record why one office has fewer reviews than another, and a smaller count is not a verdict on the office; it means the rating rests on fewer reviews, so read the rating and the review count as a pair.
Why half of Melville’s dentists have no website on file
Only 21 of the 42 practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me, and 18 of the 20 rated offices are among them. A missing URL means no link is recorded, not that the office has no site, and it says nothing about the dentistry. The Melville dentist hub lists all 42 offices, rated and unrated, whatever their review count.
How the 20 ratings spread
Ten of the 20 rated practices sit at 4.8 stars or higher, four between 4.5 and 4.79, two between 4.0 and 4.49 and four below 4.0. The average is 4.49; all four offices below 4.0 rest on 12 reviews or fewer, and without them the other 16 average 4.74. Review depth is thin inside the top band too: five of the ten offices at 4.8 or higher rest on six reviews or fewer, three of them on a single review.
Fourteen of the 20 rated offices clear 4.5 stars, but the 4.0-to-4.49 band is not a list of small records: it holds E. Michelle Kun (4.0 on 51), the third-largest review record in Melville, which is one of the two offices on the pediatric list and is also on the orthodontist list. A rating does not say what lies behind it, and Dental.me holds no review text that would.
The largest review records
Two records stand well above the rest. Long Island Family Dental (4.8★, 182 reviews) is on six of the 12 service lists, more than any other Melville office, and Faber Orthodontics (5.0★, 170 reviews) is first on the Dental.me Score. E. Michelle Kun (4.0, 51 reviews) and Darren M. Schnapp DDS, PC (4.5, 40 reviews) come next by review count. Restorative and Implant Dentistry of Long Island (5.0★, 25 reviews) and Implant and General Dentistry of Long Island LLP (4.8★, 24 reviews) are fourth and fifth on the Score, but neither is on the Dental.me implant list despite the name. Broadhollow Dentistry (4.8★, 38 reviews) is third on the Score, and Howard A. Popper, DDS (4.7★, 34 reviews) is on the implant, denture and prosthodontist lists. 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.
Melville’s service lists
Dental.me keeps 12 service lists for Melville. Five hold five offices each: dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, Invisalign and teeth whitening. The other lists are shorter: four offices on the endodontist list and four on the oral surgeon list, two each on the pediatric, periodontist and denture lists, one on the prosthodontist list, and none on the emergency list. The implant list is Long Island Family Dental, Howard A. Popper, NorthStar Implant Dentistry (4.6 on 9) and two unrated offices. The cosmetic and whitening lists hold the same five offices, as do the orthodontist and Invisalign lists. Six unrated offices sit on lists, so keeping only rated practices would drop them. 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.

How to choose well when the reviews are thin
Because Melville has little review data behind many of its ratings, a short sequence helps. Start with the 20 rated offices and read the review count beside each rating. Then match the service on its list, remembering that unrated offices sit on six of the 12 lists. Finally, call your top two and ask whether the office does the procedure itself or refers it out. 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.
Wondering how we score and order every practice? Our ranking methodology explains how ratings, review depth and verification combine. 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.
Costs and nearby directories
Dental.me does not publish prices, and our national guide to dental costs gives no price ranges either; it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials), so ask each office for a written, itemised estimate. Dental.me lists six nearby directories: Plainview (60 practices, 33 rated), Huntington Station (26 practices, 13 rated), Woodbury (36 practices, 16 rated), Dix Hills (22 practices, 4 rated), Farmingdale (31 practices, 17 rated), Wyandanch (3 practices, 2 rated). Each uses the same rating data as this page. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.
