Dentists in Middleburg Heights, OH: Local Guide

Finding a good dentist in Middleburg Heights starts with a short, manageable list: the city has 28 dental practices, 16 of them carry a public star rating, and those rated offices average a strong 4.83 stars. Compare the top-rated names below, weigh review counts, and book with clear eyes.

The dental landscape in Middleburg Heights

Middleburg Heights is a compact southwest Cuyahoga County suburb wrapped around the I-71 and Bagley Road interchange, with Pearl Road (Route 42) running north to south and Southland Shopping Center anchoring its retail spine. For a city this size, 28 dental practices is a healthy supply, and they cluster along the Pearl Road and Bagley Road corridors where most everyday errands already take you. That density is good news for anyone choosing a dentist: you are rarely locked into a single nearby option, and switching offices does not mean driving across the county.

Of those 28 practices, 16 have accumulated enough public feedback to show a star rating on their Dental.me profile. The other 12 are not necessarily new or lesser offices; a rating simply requires that reviews have been left on the platforms Dental.me reads. When you see a listing with no rating yet, treat it as unmeasured rather than judged, and lean on a phone call or a first visit to fill in what the data cannot.

How the ratings break down

The 16 rated practices in Middleburg Heights skew unusually high. Eleven of them sit at 4.8 stars or above, three land in the 4.5 to 4.79 range, two fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and none sit below 4.0. In plain terms, the entire rated field clears the 4.0 line, and more than two-thirds of it clears 4.8. A citywide average of 4.83 is not being propped up by one standout office; it reflects a genuinely tight, high cluster.

The highest-rated practices

The table below ranks the offices Dental.me surfaces most prominently in Middleburg Heights, sorted by star rating and then by review volume. Read it with both columns in mind: a perfect 5.0 built on a handful of reviews tells you less than a 4.5 earned across hundreds. Each name links to its full profile, where you can see the address, hours where available, and the underlying feedback.

Two names top the list at a flawless 5.0. Mariam Makram-Rofail, DDS holds that 5.0 across 188 reviews, a combination of a perfect score and real depth that is hard to find. Victor Ladan also shows 5.0, but across only 8 reviews, so the rating is promising rather than proven. For a family with young children, Smith Pediatric Dentistry, Inc. stands out for a different reason: its 4.5 stars rest on 561 reviews, by far the largest body of feedback of any office on this list.

Reading the review counts

Star ratings and review counts answer different questions. The rating tells you how satisfied patients were; the count tells you how confident you can be in that rating. Across all 28 Middleburg Heights practices, people have left 1,143 reviews, and a single office, Smith Pediatric Dentistry, accounts for 561 of them, just under half. That concentration is worth understanding before you read too much into any one number.

The practical takeaway is not to discount the smaller offices, but to calibrate. A 5.0 across 8 reviews, like Victor Ladan’s, can be genuinely excellent or simply early; a few more reviews could move it in either direction. A 4.6 across 144 reviews, like Jyoti Sagar’s, has been tested enough that it is unlikely to swing much. When two offices look similar on stars, the one with more reviews is the safer bet, and the one with fewer is the one to probe with your own questions.

Website presence and how you will reach them

Of the 28 practices in Middleburg Heights, 13 have a website URL on file. That is a little under half, which means for the remaining offices your first contact will likely be a phone call rather than an online booking form. Neither path is better dentistry; it simply changes how you gather information before you commit. When an office has a site listed, use it to confirm insurance networks, new-patient policies, and hours. When it does not, keep a short list of questions ready for the phone.

It is also worth noting what the ratings coverage looks like overall. With 16 of 28 practices rated, a little over half the field carries public feedback, and the other half is a call-and-visit proposition. That split is normal for a suburb of this scale, and it is a reason to treat the rated offices as your starting shortlist rather than the whole story.

Neighboring cities worth a look

Middleburg Heights sits shoulder to shoulder with several suburbs, and because the city is small, a dentist one town over may be no farther than one across your own. To the south, Strongsville and North Royalton both open up along the I-71 and Route 82 corridors. Directly east, Parma Heights shares the Pearl Road spine. To the west lies Berea, home to Baldwin Wallace University, and just south of North Royalton you will find Broadview Heights. If your top Middleburg Heights choice is booked out or off your insurance network, these directories are the natural next places to check, and the drive is measured in minutes rather than miles.

When you widen the search, keep comparing on the same two axes: rating and review depth. A neighboring office with a well-established score may serve you better than an unrated one next door, and the reverse can also be true. The point of looking across city lines is not to travel farther but to keep your shortlist honest.

How to choose your Middleburg Heights dentist

Put the numbers to work in order. Start with the Middleburg Heights directory and the rated shortlist above, since every one of those 16 offices clears 4.0 stars. Narrow by what matters to your household: a pediatric focus points you toward Smith Pediatric Dentistry, while a top general-dentistry score points toward Mariam Makram-Rofail. Then cross-check review depth so you are not leaning on a rating built from a handful of reviews. Finally, confirm the practical details, insurance, hours, and new-patient openings, through the office’s website where one is on file or by phone where one is not.

The Dental.me Score that orders these listings weighs a practice’s rating, its review volume, and whether its office details are confirmed, among other signals; it is earned through patient feedback and verified information, never purchased. Only Featured placement can be paid for, and it never changes the underlying score. Use the data here to build a shortlist you trust, then let a first appointment settle the rest, because the fit between you and a dentist is the one thing no rating can measure for you.

Frequently asked questions

How many dentists are there in Middleburg Heights, OH?

Middleburg Heights has 28 dental practices on Dental.me. Of those, 16 currently carry a public star rating, and the rated offices average 4.83 stars. The remaining 12 are listed but do not yet have enough public feedback to show a rating.

Which Middleburg Heights dentist has the highest rating?

Two practices show a perfect 5.0: Mariam Makram-Rofail, DDS, whose 5.0 rests on 188 reviews, and Victor Ladan, whose 5.0 comes from 8 reviews. The larger review count behind Mariam Makram-Rofail makes that score the more thoroughly tested of the two.

How reliable are the star ratings for Middleburg Heights practices?

That depends on review depth. Across all 28 practices, people have left 1,143 reviews, but Smith Pediatric Dentistry alone accounts for 561 of them. A rating backed by hundreds of reviews is more settled than one built on a handful, so read the count alongside the stars.

Is there a good pediatric dentist in Middleburg Heights?

Smith Pediatric Dentistry, Inc. is the clear pediatric option here. It holds 4.5 stars across 561 reviews, the largest body of feedback of any Middleburg Heights practice, which gives that score real weight for families with young children.

Do Middleburg Heights dental offices have websites?

Of the 28 practices, 13 have a website URL on file. For those, you can often confirm insurance, hours, and new-patient policies online. For the roughly 15 without a listed site, your first contact will usually be a phone call instead.

What nearby cities should I check if I can't find the right dentist?

Because Middleburg Heights is compact, neighboring suburbs are often just as close. Strongsville, North Royalton, Parma Heights, Berea, and Broadview Heights all border or sit minutes away, and each has its own Dental.me directory to compare on rating and review depth.

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.
