Dental.me lists 34 dental practices in New Brunswick, NJ. 21 carry a Google rating, and those 21 average 4.09 stars across 2,052 reviews. Start with the table below, match a service list to the care you need, and confirm the practical details with the office before you book.
The citywide average hides a wide spread, so this guide shows where the rated offices fall: a table of the top six by Dental.me Score, four charts built from New Brunswick’s own figures, and a step-by-step way to narrow 34 offices to the two or three worth a phone call.
What the New Brunswick numbers actually tell you
Of the 34 practices Dental.me lists in New Brunswick, 21 carry a Google rating and 13 carry none; Dental.me does not record why. The 21 rated offices average 4.09, a figure pulled in two directions: ten offices at 4.8 or higher, and five below 4.0 that pull the mean down.
Among the 21 rated practices, 10 sit at 4.8 or higher, 2 between 4.5 and 4.79, 4 between 4.0 and 4.49, and 5 below 4.0. Six of the ten at 4.8 or higher rest on 10 reviews or fewer, and three of the five below 4.0 rest on a single review each; the other two hold 3.2 on 77 and 3.2 on 18. Read every rating beside its review count. A rating is not a measure of clinical quality.
The top-rated dentists in New Brunswick
The table shows the six New Brunswick offices at the top of the Dental.me Score, sorted here by Google rating and then by review count. Oral Surgery Group, PA holds 1,168 reviews at 4.9, more than every other rated office in the city combined, and it is the one office on the New Brunswick oral-surgeon list. Two of the six largest offices by review count sit outside the table: Exceldent Dental of New Brunswick, LLP (4.0 on 246, the second largest) and Rutgers Health – RSDM Dental Associates – New Brunswick (3.2 on 77).
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| University Dental Care LLC | 5.0 | 91 | View profile |
| Oral Surgery Group, PA | 4.9 | 1,168 | View profile |
| Livy Dental | 4.9 | 235 | View profile |
| Healing Smiles: Sandra Onukwugha, DMD | 4.9 | 47 | View profile |
| Russell Schwartz | 4.7 | 62 | View profile |
| Brunswick Dental Associate-Dentista Hispana New Brunswick | 4.6 | 21 | View profile |
University Dental Care LLC holds a 5.0 on 91 reviews, the most behind any of the city’s seven 5.0 ratings; the other six rest on 10 reviews or fewer. Livy Dental pairs a 4.9 with 235 reviews. Healing Smiles (4.9 on 47), Russell Schwartz (4.7 on 62) and Brunswick Dental Associate-Dentista Hispana (4.6 on 21) complete the table. Livy Dental and Russell Schwartz are on none of the twelve service lists, so ask those offices what they offer. A 4.9 on 235 reviews rests on more people than a 5.0 on a handful.
How the Dental.me Score reads these offices
The star rating on each profile is the practice’s Google rating. The Dental.me Score is a separate figure, 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. Review volume deserves attention in New Brunswick: the 21 rated practices hold 2,052 reviews, but Oral Surgery Group alone holds 1,168 of them (57%), and the six largest offices hold 1,879 (92%).
Outside Oral Surgery Group, two offices in the table hold 4.9 or 5.0 on more than 90 reviews: Livy Dental (4.9 on 235) and University Dental Care (5.0 on 91). A high rating on a dozen reviews or fewer rests on few people, so look closer before you commit. Dental.me holds no review dates or review text, so a count tells you how many people posted, not when or what they said.
Website coverage and why you should still call
Of the 34 New Brunswick practices in the directory, 14 have a website URL on file, fewer than half. The other 20 have no website URL recorded, and Dental.me does not record why. For a practice with a site, you can check what it says about its services before you call. Dental.me holds a phone number for all 34 and posted hours for 15 of the 34. For the 20 without a URL, a phone call is the most reliable way to learn what they offer and whether they take your insurance. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
The absence of a URL is not a rating of the office. A practice with a website gives you one more place to check what it offers before you call; an office with no site needs one extra phone call. Neither tells you about the quality of care.
Match a New Brunswick specialty to your need
New Brunswick’s directory has a page for each service, so you can start from the care you need. Dental.me lists 8 New Brunswick practices on the cosmetic dentist list and the same 8 on the teeth whitening list, 6 on the dental implant list and 6 on the emergency dentist list. The periodontist list holds 5, the endodontist list 4, the orthodontist and Invisalign lists 2 each, the pediatric, oral-surgeon and denture lists 1 each, and the prosthodontist list none. For an urgent problem, start with the emergency list. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
You can browse each list directly: the New Brunswick cosmetic dentists page, the dental implant providers in New Brunswick, and the New Brunswick emergency dentists list. An office can appear on more than one list. 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.
Looking just beyond the city line
If the New Brunswick field does not include what you need, such as a specific insurance network or a pediatric list longer than one office, three neighbouring Dental.me directories are linked from this guide: Highland Park (14 practices, 10 rated), Piscataway (33 practices, 17 rated), Somerset (64 practices, 36 rated). Compare their ratings and review counts the same way. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.
How to choose, and what to confirm before you book
Put the pieces together in order. Start on the New Brunswick dentist hub and read the rating distribution with the review counts: of the 10 practices at 4.8 or higher, four rest on more than 10 reviews (Oral Surgery Group, Livy Dental, University Dental Care and Healing Smiles). Below 4.5 sits the second-largest office, Exceldent Dental (4.0 on 246), so weigh it on its count as well as its star. Then filter by the service you need, and only after that check logistics like parking and hours.
Before you commit, ask the office three things directly: how soon it can see a new patient, whether it is in-network for your dental plan, and whether its hours fit your schedule. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you. Do that on two or three shortlisted offices, and remember that six of the ten offices at 4.8 or higher rest on 10 reviews or fewer.
