Newark, California lists 49 dental practices on Dental.me. 28 of them carry a Google rating; the other 21 have no reviews on file, and Dental.me does not record why. 21 have a website on file (43%), all 49 have a phone number, and 27 have posted hours. This guide shows which rated offices rank highest by Dental.me Score, which hold the most Google reviews, and what the 12 service lists hold.
Across the 28 rated practices the average Google rating is 4.72, an unweighted average of the 28 ratings, on 1,663 reviews in total. 17 of the 28 sit at 4.8 or higher, though 10 of those 17 rest on 14 reviews or fewer. A Google rating is not a measure of clinical quality, so the practical decision is matching an office to your insurance, your location and the work you need.
It helps to be clear about what the data can and cannot say. Dental.me holds no founding dates, so it cannot say how long these practices have been open, and it holds no review dates, so it cannot say when the reviews were written. The six largest records hold 1,200 of the 1,663 reviews (72%).
Newark’s dental market at a glance
One practice holds a large share of the reviews. Joyful Smile Family Dentistry, led by Dr. “Joy” Jeuel Espanola holds a 5.0 rating on 317 reviews, 19% of every Google review of a Newark office, and it is #1 by Dental.me Score. It is on none of the 12 Dental.me service lists, so ask the office directly about the work you need.
Reading the rating spread
An average can hide how the ratings are spread. Here is how Newark’s 28 rated offices break down by Google rating.
Only one rated office sits below 4.0: S. T. Banatao DDS (3.2 on 9 reviews). Five sit between 4.5 and 4.79, among them Chris M. Chui Dental Corporation (4.7 on 254), the third-largest record in Newark, and Jaspreet Harika DDS (4.6 on 79); five more sit between 4.0 and 4.49, the largest of them All Smile Dental Care (4.2 on 21). After Joyful Smile, four offices hold a 4.9: Ohana Dental (262 reviews), Dr. Mehrnoosh Moghaddam, DMD (140), Dr. Fatima Justiniano (108) and Newark Family Dental with Dr. Gagan Kohli, DDS (95), and the Offices of Roger Chang & Thomas Wong hold a 4.8 on 119. Seven Newark offices hold 90 reviews or more; Chui ranks #8 by Dental.me Score because its 4.7 sits below the 4.8 to 5.0 offices above it. The 21 unrated offices have no reviews on file.
What the service lists show
Dental.me places practices on service lists by what each office lists. Here is what the 12 Newark lists hold.
The teeth whitening list (11 offices) is the longest of the 12, followed by cosmetic dentistry (10 offices). The orthodontists and Invisalign providers lists hold the same eight offices, among them Chris M. Chui Dental Corporation (4.7 on 254). Five offices are on the dental implants list, four on emergency dentistry, three each on pediatric dentistry and periodontics, two on dentures and one on endodontics. The oral surgery and prosthodontics lists are empty, so for that work look at the nearby directories below. A list count is a count of listings, not of specialists. 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. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
How to choose a Newark dentist without guessing
A simple sequence helps. Here is one for booking a first appointment in Newark.
On that third step: Dental.me holds a website for 21 of the 49 offices and posted hours for 27, but a URL is not proof an office is open, and Dental.me does not record why an office has no website. A two-minute call confirms the hours, whether the office is taking new patients and whether it takes your plan.
Cost is the other thing to pin down early. Ratings and review counts say nothing about what a Newark office charges, and the same crown or implant can be quoted differently across town. With ten offices on the cosmetic list and eight on the Invisalign list, you can ask more than one office for a quote without leaving the city. Confirm what your insurance covers before treatment begins, and ask for the out-of-pocket figure in writing.
The Newark dentist directory lists all 49 offices, rated and unrated, with each one’s Google rating and review count. Dental.me holds no insurance or availability data, so confirm both by phone. 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.
Nearby directories
Five nearby places have their own Dental.me directories, built the same way: Fremont (295 practices, 170 rated), Union City (65 practices, 42 rated), Hayward (109 practices, 68 rated), East Palo Alto (4 practices, 2 rated), Menlo Park (56 practices, 30 rated). Fremont, Hayward, Union City and Menlo Park list more practices than Newark; East Palo Alto lists four. Newark’s oral surgery and prosthodontics lists are empty, so check those directories’ lists for that work. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.
However you narrow it down, start from the data rather than the ads: 28 of Newark’s 49 listings carry a Google rating, and the review count behind each rating matters as much as the stars. Every office is on the Newark practice directory.
