What the numbers say about dentists in Ocean Township

Ocean Township sits in the heart of Monmouth County, a short drive from the shore towns that line Route 35, and its dental market is compact but unusually strong at the top. Of the 27 practices we track inside the township, 16 have collected enough patient feedback to hold a rating, and the picture those ratings paint is lopsided in a good way. Twelve of the sixteen rated offices score 4.8 stars or higher, which means the majority of the town’s reviewed dentists sit in the very top band. Only one practice lands below 4.0. That concentration matters when you are choosing: in many towns the field is spread evenly across the rating scale, but in Ocean the strongest tier is crowded.

The chart below breaks the 16 rated practices into rating bands so you can see exactly how the town’s quality is distributed rather than relying on a single average.

A distribution like this changes how you shop. When most of the field clusters at the top, the deciding factors become review volume, whether the office confirms details like a working website, and which specialty you actually need. Use the town Ocean Township dentist directory to see every listing, then narrow with the sections below.

The highest-rated dental practices in Ocean Township

Six practices lead the town on the strength of both their star rating and the number of reviews behind them. Two of them, Anthony Sallustio and Edward Boim, hold a perfect 5.0, while the remaining four sit at 4.9 with review counts deep enough to make that score meaningful. Madeline M. Badalaty carries the largest review base in Ocean by a wide margin at 594, which is why a 4.9 there reflects a very large sample. The table is sorted by rating first, then by review count, so the offices with the strongest combination of score and volume rise to the top.

Review volume is the tie-breaker worth watching once the ratings are this close together. A 4.9 built on nearly 600 reviews carries different weight than a 4.9 built on fewer than 200, simply because more patients have tested the result. The chart below shows how the top six compare on review count, and how the town’s 2,355 total reviews are anchored by these leaders.

How many Ocean Township practices list a website

One of the quieter signals of an established, easy-to-reach office is whether it has a website URL on file. In Ocean Township, 16 of the 27 practices we track have one recorded, the same count as the number of rated offices. That overlap is telling: the practices that have invested in an online presence are largely the same ones accumulating patient feedback. The remaining 11 practices have no website URL on file, which does not mean they lack a site, only that we could not confirm one for the listing. When you cannot find an office online, a direct phone call to confirm hours, insurance, and new-patient availability is the sensible next step.

Specialty care available in Ocean Township

Ocean Township is well covered for the treatments patients search for most. Dental implants lead the town with nine practices offering them, the deepest specialty bench in the area. Cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, Invisalign, and teeth whitening each have five practices, which gives you genuine choice whether you are straightening teeth, planning a smile makeover, or replacing a missing tooth. If you need implants specifically, start with the Ocean dental implant providers; for straightening, compare the Ocean orthodontists; and for veneers, bonding, or whitening, review the Ocean cosmetic dentists.

Neighborhoods and nearby towns to widen your search

Ocean Township spreads across several distinct sections of Monmouth County, including Oakhurst, Wayside, and the Wanamassa area, with the Garden State Parkway and Route 35 threading through the township. Because so many shore communities sit within a few minutes of one another here, your practical search area is usually larger than the town line. If the Ocean practice you want is booked or out of network, the neighboring directories are worth a look. The Wanamassa dentist listings cover the section closest to the township’s western edge, while Asbury Park dentists and Neptune dentists add options just to the south and southwest. Each of those hubs uses the same rating and review data as this guide, so you can compare apples to apples across town lines.

Keeping your search inside this cluster has a real advantage: you can weigh a highly reviewed office one town over against a closer practice with fewer reviews, and decide which trade-off fits your schedule. The shore’s density of towns means a 4.9-rated dentist is rarely more than a short drive away.

How to choose your dentist in Ocean Township

With the field this strong at the top, the smart approach is to layer the signals rather than lean on any single one. Start with the rating to narrow to the top band, then use review volume to tell a well-tested 4.9 from a thinly reviewed one, then filter by the specialty you actually need. The Dental.me Score is built to do this weighing for you: it considers a practice’s rating, how many reviews stand behind that rating, and whether office details like a website are confirmed, among other signals, so the offices that rise are the ones with both quality and a track record. The score is earned through that record, never purchased, and only a Featured placement can be paid for.

For most Ocean Township patients, the shortlist writes itself from the table above: Anthony Sallustio and Edward Boim for perfect ratings, Madeline Badalaty for the deepest review base in town, and Marc Berley, Katherine Varchenko, or Yana Newman close behind. Pull up two or three practice profiles, confirm they take your insurance and are accepting new patients, and book. When you want to see the full field rather than just the leaders, the Ocean Township directory lists every one of the 27 practices with their current ratings.
