To find a dentist in Newhall, start with the 34 dental practices Dental.me lists here. Sixteen carry a Google rating, and those 16 average 4.66 stars; the other 18 carry none, and Dental.me does not record why. Read each rating beside the review count behind it before you call.
Eleven of the 16 rated offices sit at 4.8 or higher, but an average hides the shape of the field. Below, this guide walks through every figure Dental.me holds for Newhall (the rating bands, the review counts, the website coverage and the service lists) and turns each one into something you can check before you pick up the phone.
How the Dental.me Score works
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. Featured placement does not change a practice’s Score, but it does change what you see first: the Newhall hub lists all 34 rows over three pages, and it opens with four Featured cards out of Score order, Rex Baumgartner DDS (3.8 on 13; 15th by Score), MARK A. POITRAS, DDS, INC. and DR TAJIK DENTAL GROUP INC (5.0 on one each; tied for 11th) and Jerrold Singer (4.2 on 17; 14th). Of the 34 Newhall practices, 16 carry a Google rating; the other 18 carry none, and Dental.me does not record why. Treat the 16 as the place to start reading and the 18 as names to check directly if a friend or your insurer points you toward one.
The top-rated dental practices in Newhall
The table lists the six Newhall offices rated 4.8 or higher on more than 40 Google reviews, listed by rating and then by review count; by Dental.me Score, Jonathan Rudner, D.D.S. (4.9 on 330) is first and Newhall Dental Arts second. Five more offices sit at 4.8 or higher, all on a 5.0 with 16 reviews or fewer; the largest of them is Johnny Okuyama (5.0 on 16). Newhall Dental Arts holds a 5.0 on 249 reviews, and Jonathan Rudner, D.D.S. holds a 4.9 on 330, the most reviews of any Newhall office.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newhall Dental Arts | 5.0 | 249 | View profile |
| Jonathan Rudner, D.D.S. | 4.9 | 330 | View profile |
| Healthy Smiles Dental – Santa Clarita Valley | 4.9 | 113 | View profile |
| Arnel DE Guzman, DDS Inc. | 4.9 | 46 | View profile |
| L.A. Smiles Endodontics: Dr. Kristina Shagramanova | 4.8 | 88 | View profile |
| John M Scaramella DDS Inc | 4.8 | 71 | View profile |
A 4.9 on 330 reviews at Jonathan Rudner, D.D.S. and a 4.9 on 46 at Arnel DE Guzman, DDS Inc. are both high ratings, but one rests on about seven times as many reviews. L.A. Smiles Endodontics (4.8 on 88) is one of four offices on the Newhall endodontist list, which matters if a dentist refers you out for a root canal. A rating is not a measure of clinical quality.
How Newhall’s ratings are distributed
Of the 16 rated practices, 11 sit at 4.8 stars or higher, one in the 4.5-to-4.79 band, two between 4.0 and 4.49, and two below 4.0. Five of the 11 rest on 16 reviews or fewer, and the two below 4.0 hold 27 reviews between them, so read the count beside every rating, high or low.
What website coverage tells you before you call
Across all 34 Newhall practices, 13 have a website URL on file with Dental.me. A missing URL is not a verdict on the other 21 offices; it records only what we have on file. Dental.me did not open those sites, so a URL on file says nothing about services, forms or hours; confirm those by phone or through your insurance network.
Reading Newhall’s 1,070 reviews
The 16 rated Newhall practices carry 1,070 Google reviews between them, and half of them hold 16 reviews or fewer. By review count, the six largest are Jonathan Rudner, D.D.S. (330), Newhall Dental Arts (249), Healthy Smiles Dental – Santa Clarita Valley (113), Emil J Simanian D.D.S., Inc. (4.2 on 89), L.A. Smiles Endodontics (88) and John M Scaramella DDS Inc (71); together they hold 940 of the 1,070 reviews (88%). Weighted by review count, the 16 average 4.80, against the plain average of 4.66. Emil J Simanian is the fourth-largest office and sits outside the table because of its 4.2 rating. When two offices look the same on stars, read the review count: a 4.9 on hundreds of reviews rests on a larger sample than the same score on a dozen. Dental.me holds no review dates, so a count says nothing about how recent the reviews are.
Specialty care available in Newhall
Dental.me keeps 12 service lists for Newhall. The dental implant, cosmetic dentist and teeth whitening lists hold 8 offices each, the periodontist list 7, and the orthodontist and Invisalign lists 6 each. The shortest are pediatric dentists and endodontists (4 each), emergency dentists and dentures (3 each), and oral surgeons and prosthodontists (2 each). 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. Five rated offices are on no list: Arnel DE Guzman, DDS Inc. (4.9 on 46), fifth by Score and in the table above, Emil J Simanian D.D.S., Inc. (4.2 on 89), Jerrold Singer (4.2 on 17), David Podsadecki (5.0 on five) and DR TAJIK DENTAL GROUP INC (5.0 on one); together they hold 158 of the 1,070 reviews (15%). Read the directory as well as the list for your service.
Insurance and cost at a Newhall dentist
Ratings and review counts say nothing about what a Newhall office charges. 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. Before you commit, confirm whether the office is in-network for your plan, what a new-patient exam, cleaning and X-rays cost out of pocket, and how it handles patients without insurance. For larger work (an implant, orthodontics or periodontal care) ask for a written treatment plan before the first appointment, and ask whether the practice offers payment plans.
Questions worth asking before you book in Newhall
A phone call settles what Dental.me does not hold, such as whether an office is taking new patients and which plans it accepts. When you call a Newhall office from your shortlist, work through a short, specific checklist:
- Can you take me as a new patient, and how soon could you see me for a routine cleaning?
- Are you in-network for my insurance, and do you file the claim on my behalf?
- What are your hours — do you offer early-morning, evening, or Saturday appointments?
- Do you handle dental emergencies, and how soon can you see an emergency patient?
- For a specific procedure, do you treat it in-house or refer out — for example, sending root canals to an endodontist such as L.A. Smiles Endodontics?
Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you. Dental.me holds posted hours for 15 of the 34 Newhall practices and a phone number for all 34, so a call also settles hours for the rest.
What to expect as a new patient in Newhall
Once you have chosen an office, a first visit usually follows a predictable arc. Expect X-rays if you have not had recent ones, an exam of teeth and gums, an oral-cancer screening, and usually a cleaning unless deeper work is needed first. Bring your insurance card, a list of any medications and the name of your previous dentist so records can be transferred. If you feel pressured into a long treatment plan on day one, it is reasonable to ask for a second opinion before you agree to major work.
How to choose and book your Newhall dentist
Start at the Newhall dentist directory and read the 16 rated offices with their review counts. Newhall Dental Arts holds a 5.0 on 249 reviews, Jonathan Rudner, D.D.S. a 4.9 on 330 and Healthy Smiles Dental – Santa Clarita Valley a 4.9 on 113; then let the service list you need narrow the field. Confirm your insurance, check that the location and hours suit your week, and ask about new-patient forms when you call; Dental.me did not open the websites on file. Two or three names on a shortlist is plenty.
Read the phone and the address. Jerrold Singer (4.2 on 17), one of the four Featured cards, gives 25061 Peachland Ave, the address of Newhall Dental Arts (5.0 on 249), and the phone (661) 255-7530 of MARVIN & RICHARD SAGERMAN DDS, a row with no rating. DR TAJIK DENTAL GROUP INC, another Featured card, gives a URL on newhalldentalarts.com. Cosmetic & Family Dental, a row with no rating, gives the phone (661) 260-1220, the address 24242 Lyons Ave and the URL host healthysmilesscv.com of Healthy Smiles Dental – Santa Clarita Valley (4.9 on 113). The 34 rows give 31 distinct phone numbers. Each is its own row with its own rating, and nobody has confirmed how the rows relate, so ask the office which dentist you would see.
Three neighbouring Dental.me directories are linked from this guide: Valencia (110 practices, 77 rated), Santa Clarita (68 practices, 37 rated), Stevenson Ranch (8 practices, 4 rated). Valencia is the largest of the three. Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.
