Finding a good dentist in Roselle Park, New Jersey, starts with the numbers: Dental.me lists 21 dental practices in the borough, 13 of them carry a Google star rating, and those rated offices average 4.82 out of five. This guide sets out the highest-rated offices, the services they are listed for, and how to read each rating beside its review count.
How Roselle Park’s dentists rate at a glance
Dental.me lists 21 dental practices in Roselle Park, in Union County. Thirteen of them carry a Google star rating; the other eight have no rating on file: three show zero reviews and five have no review count, and Dental.me does not record why. Those 13 rated offices average 4.82 stars. In rating bands, 10 of the 13 sit at 4.8 stars or higher, one lands in the 4.5-to-4.79 range, two fall between 4.0 and 4.49, and none drop below 4.0.
A distribution this top-weighted means a high rating is common in Roselle Park, so the useful questions are about fit: which office is listed for the work you need, how many reviews stand behind its rating, and which specialty lists it is on. The eight practices without a Google rating are not part of the 4.82 average at all. Google ratings reflect what reviewers chose to post; they are not a measure of clinical quality.
The top-rated practices in Roselle Park
The table below lists the six highest-rated Roselle Park practices among those with at least 40 reviews, sorted by Google star rating and then by review count. Six Roselle Park practices hold a perfect 5.0, and two of them are in the table: Thomas Santora (148 reviews) and Dental Suite (90). The other four rest on seven reviews or fewer and are left out: Richard Altman DDS (7), Jerome Forman (7), Kurtz Robert Lawr DDS (1) and Lawrence Dobrin (1). Two more offices clear 40 reviews but rate lower and are also left out: Sonal Jain (4.7, 75 reviews) and Manuel Gonzalez (4.4, 51). The table below is sorted by star rating, not by the Score; the Dental.me Score top six are the same six offices, led by Roselle Park Dental Assoc LLC. Click any practice name to open its Dental.me profile.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thomas Santora | 5.0 | 148 | View profile |
| Dental Suite | 5.0 | 90 | View profile |
| Roselle Park Dental Assoc LLC | 4.9 | 1,110 | View profile |
| Norman J. Schwartz, DMD, PA | 4.9 | 382 | View profile |
| Nicola W Cicchetti, DMD LLC | 4.9 | 215 | View profile |
| Matos Orthodontics | 4.8 | 41 | View profile |
A perfect 5.0 across 148 reviews, as Thomas Santora holds, is a different signal than a 4.9 across 1,110, as Roselle Park Dental Assoc LLC holds. The first tells you the reviews posted so far average a perfect 5.0; the second tells you the office has been reviewed more than a thousand times and still averages 4.9. Neither is strictly better. A perfect rating on a smaller sample and a near-perfect rating on a very large one are both reasons to shortlist an office rather than rule it out.
Where the borough’s reviews concentrate
Roselle Park’s rated practices carry 2,132 reviews between them, and that total is not spread evenly. More than half of every review in the borough sits with a single office. The chart below plots the review counts of the six practices in the table so you can see the concentration for yourself.
The takeaway is not that the less-reviewed offices are lesser. It is that when you read a 5.0 at Dental Suite against a 4.9 at Roselle Park Dental Assoc, you are comparing 90 reviews to 1,110, and a first-time patient should weigh both the rating and the depth behind it.
Google ratings and the Dental.me Score
Every star rating in this guide is a Google star rating, and the 4.82 borough figure is a plain average of the 13 Google ratings on file. The Dental.me Score on each profile 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.
This is also why the reviews column in the table does so much of the work. When two offices are separated by a tenth of a star, the review count says how many reviews stand behind each figure. A 4.9 on 1,110 reviews, as Roselle Park Dental Assoc LLC carries, is harder to move than a 4.9 on a few dozen; that is a statement about the sample, not about the office. Dental.me holds no review dates, so it cannot tell you how recent a rating is.
Website coverage across the borough
Ten of Roselle Park’s 21 practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me, just under half the field. A missing URL is a note about our records, not a verdict on the office, and Dental.me does not record why one is missing. Three of the 13 rated offices have no URL on file; for those, the Dental.me profile is the place to start. Dental.me holds a phone number for all 21 practices and posted opening hours for 11 of them. Use the share below to set expectations before you start clicking.
Specialties you can find in Roselle Park
Beyond routine cleanings and exams, the most-listed services in the borough are restorative and aesthetic. Five Roselle Park offices are listed for dental implants, five for cosmetic dentistry and five for teeth whitening; the cosmetic and whitening lists name the same five practices. Three each are listed for orthodontics, Invisalign, pediatric dentistry and periodontics, two for emergency care, one each for endodontics, oral surgery and dentures, and none for prosthodontics.
If you are weighing a specific procedure, start with the borough’s specialty pages: browse every office listed for dental implants in Roselle Park, compare the cosmetic dentists in Roselle Park, or look at practices listed for teeth whitening in Roselle Park. Each page filters the borough down to the offices that list that service, which is faster than reading full profiles one by one.
Three Roselle Park practices are listed for orthodontics: Matos Orthodontics, rated 4.8 across 41 reviews, Norman J. Schwartz, DMD, PA, and Roselle Park Dental Assoc LLC; the same three are on the Invisalign list. For a need outside these lists, the specialty pages and the nearby directories further down show which offices list it. A list entry reflects the services a practice lists, not a specialist credential, so ask an office about its training.
How to choose among Roselle Park’s dentists
With ratings this tightly clustered, a good decision comes from matching an office to your situation rather than chasing the single highest number. A few practical steps for Roselle Park specifically:
Match the rating to the sample size
Decide how much review history you want behind a rating. If depth reassures you, an office like Roselle Park Dental Assoc LLC with 1,110 reviews gives you a large review base. If a perfect rating matters more, Thomas Santora and Dental Suite each hold a perfect 5.0 and are the most-reviewed of the six Roselle Park practices at that rating.
Lead with the procedure, not the brand
If you know you need implants or cosmetic work, the specialty pages above narrow 21 practices to the five listed for it before you compare ratings. A list entry shows what an office lists, so confirm the procedure with the office before you book.
Confirm the details directly
Ratings and services tell you where to start, but hours, insurance, and new-patient openings change. Open a practice’s Dental.me profile to reach the office, and confirm those specifics before your first visit. For offices with no website URL on file, the profile is the most reliable starting point.
Questions worth asking a Roselle Park office
Once you have shortlisted two or three practices from the table, a short call settles most of what a rating cannot. It is reasonable to ask whether the office is taking on new patients, which insurance plans it accepts, and whether it performs the specific procedure you need in-house or refers it out. Those answers vary office to office and are not something a star rating captures, so they are worth confirming before you commit to a first appointment.
Ask about scheduling for the kind of visit you actually need, as well. A routine cleaning and an urgent problem are different requests. Dental.me holds no appointment-availability data, so ask each office about its soonest opening. For any of the 11 practices with no website URL on file, that call is your primary channel and the Dental.me profile is the most dependable way to place it. The ratings and review counts above tell you where to start; the call confirms whether an office is a practical fit for your household.
