Finding a good dentist in Southampton, New York starts with a short, well-rated field: Dental.me tracks 26 practices here, 18 of them rated, at a strong 4.73 average. This guide ranks the highest-scoring offices, shows how reviews concentrate, and points you toward implant care and nearby Hampton and North Fork towns.
The Southampton dental picture at a glance
Southampton sits on the South Fork of Long Island, in Suffolk County, and the dental field is compact rather than crowded. Dental.me currently lists 26 practices inside the Southampton directory. Of those, 18 carry a public star rating, and the group as a whole averages 4.73 stars — a figure that sits high on the five-point scale. The eight practices without a rating are not necessarily new or lesser; they simply have not accumulated enough public feedback for a score to display, and Dental.me cannot say why.
The telling detail in Southampton is how the ratings cluster near the top. Of the 18 rated offices, 12 hold 4.8 stars or higher. That is the single most important fact for anyone choosing here: the odds of landing at a well-reviewed practice are strong, so your decision is less about avoiding a weak option and more about matching the right office to your specific need — a routine cleaning, an implant consult, or a second opinion. The chart below breaks the 18 rated practices into rating bands.
The highest-rated dental offices in Southampton
Below are Southampton’s top-scoring practices, sorted by star rating and then by review volume. Two offices — Michelle Cartier and Robert Sicurelli — hold a perfect 5.0, while Anthony J Caruso DDS at Southampton Dental Arts and Ryan Rhodes both sit at 4.9 with by far the deepest review histories in the village. Use the profile links to see each practice’s full Dental.me record.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Michelle Cartier | 5.0 | 38 | View profile |
| Robert Sicurelli | 5.0 | 32 | View profile |
| Anthony J Caruso DDS — Southampton Dental Arts | 4.9 | 443 | View profile |
| Ryan Rhodes | 4.9 | 254 | View profile |
| Adam L Bear DDS | 4.8 | 17 | View profile |
| Hampton Implantology | 4.7 | 26 | View profile |
A perfect 5.0 and a 4.9 are not interchangeable. Michelle Cartier’s 5.0 rests on 38 ratings and Robert Sicurelli’s on 32, both meaningful samples. Anthony J Caruso DDS carries a 4.9 across 443 ratings — a much larger body of feedback, which is why a near-perfect score there is a distinct signal from a smaller perfect one. Read the two together: the rating tells you the average experience, and the review count tells you how settled that average is. For a full listing beyond these six, the Southampton dental directory hub shows every practice on file.
How reviews concentrate across the field
Southampton’s 26 practices hold 1,076 public reviews between them, and that volume is heavily concentrated at the top. Anthony J Caruso DDS alone accounts for 443 of them — over 40% of the village total — and together with Ryan Rhodes’s 254, just two offices represent roughly two-thirds of all recorded feedback in Southampton. The remaining named practices sit in the two-to-four-dozen range, and many of the unrated eight carry little or no public trail at all.
For you as a patient, this concentration cuts two ways. The two review leaders give you a deep read on what to expect — hundreds of reviews to read for comments on front-desk handling, scheduling, and chairside manner. The smaller-sample practices, several of them at 4.8, 4.9, or 5.0, are worth a call precisely because a high score on 20 to 40 ratings is still a real, if thinner, sample.
Website access and how to book
Sixteen of Southampton’s 26 practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me. That means for a little more than three-fifths of the field you can check a website for online booking, a services list, or a new-patient form; for the other ten, the fastest route is a phone call to confirm hours, insurance, and availability. Having no website URL on file is a record about the directory listing, not a judgment on the office.
A practical approach: shortlist two or three offices from the table above, open the profiles to check which have a website linked, and use those to compare services before you call. When you do phone, ask directly about your plan and about the specific treatment you need — a website confirms a practice exists and describes itself, but the front desk confirms what actually applies to you.
Implant and specialty care in Southampton
Southampton’s clearest specialty strength is dental implants: 5 of the 26 practices list implant care, and one office — Hampton Implantology — is built around it, carrying a 4.7 across 26 ratings. That is a solid depth of implant options, and it means a Southampton resident weighing a single implant or a full-arch restoration can compare several local providers before considering a longer drive west toward Riverhead or the larger Suffolk County centers.
To compare those providers side by side, see the Southampton dental implants page, which gathers the implant-listing practices with their ratings and review counts. If your need is general and preventive rather than surgical, the same top-rated names from the table — Cartier, Sicurelli, Caruso, and Rhodes — anchor routine and restorative care in the village.
Looking just beyond Southampton
Southampton is not isolated. Directly west along Montauk Highway is Hampton Bays, and across Pencic Bay on the North Fork sit Mattituck, Cutchogue, Jamesport, and Aquebogue — all within a reasonable drive when you want a wider set of options or an earlier appointment than a Southampton office can offer. If your top local choices are booked out, or you simply want to compare a neighboring market, these directory hubs are the logical next stops:
- Hampton Bays dentists — the closest neighboring village, just west of Southampton.
- Mattituck dentists — across the bay on the North Fork.
- Cutchogue dentists — a short North Fork drive from Mattituck.
- Jamesport dentists — further west on the North Fork toward Riverhead.
Because the Hamptons and the North Fork are separated by water, “nearby” here still means a real drive, so weigh convenience against choice. For most Southampton households, the 26 local practices — with 12 of the rated ones at 4.8 stars or higher — already cover routine care comfortably, and the neighboring towns are best treated as a backup or a specialty search.
How to choose, and how the Dental.me Score works
With a field this strongly rated, choosing well is a matter of ordering by fit rather than filtering out weak options. Start with the rating-sorted table, then layer in review depth: a 4.9 across 443 ratings and a 5.0 across 32 are both excellent but tell you different things about sample size. Next, check the profile for a linked website among the 16 that have one, and finally match the practice to your need — general and restorative care from the top-rated names, or one of the 5 implant-listing offices for surgical work.
Every practice in this directory carries an independent Dental.me Score, which weighs its star rating, the volume of reviews behind that rating, and whether office details are confirmed. The Score is earned from a practice’s own public record and is never sold; the only element that can be paid for anywhere on Dental.me is a clearly marked Featured placement, which cannot change the underlying Score or buy a higher ranking. That separation is what lets you read Southampton’s numbers — 26 practices, 18 rated, a 4.73 average, 1,076 reviews — as a straight reflection of the field rather than a paid arrangement.
Ready to start? Open the two or three profiles that fit your need from the table, confirm the details on the Southampton directory hub, and call to lock in an appointment. In a village where two-thirds of rated offices clear 4.8 stars, a short, deliberate shortlist is all it takes to find care you can rely on.
