To find a good dentist in Turnersville, NJ, start with the 19 dental practices on file here: 14 carry a star rating, and together they average 4.36 stars across 2,493 reviews. Sort by rating and review volume, confirm the office fits your needs, then compare the six top-rated names below before you call to book.
The numbers behind Turnersville’s dentists
Turnersville sits in Washington Township, Gloucester County, clustered around the Route 42 and Black Horse Pike corridor in South Jersey. The dental picture on Dental.me is compact and easy to work through: 19 practices are listed, and 14 of them carry a published star rating. The remaining five appear without a rating, which usually means too few reviews have accumulated to score them rather than anything about the care itself.
The headline figure is the 4.36 average across those 14 rated offices, drawn from a combined 2,493 reviews. That average hides real spread, though. Eight of the rated practices sit at 4.8 stars or higher, while five fall below 4.0, and the gap between those two groups is wide enough that the average alone should never be the whole story. The sections below break the cohort apart so you can see exactly where each office lands before you commit an appointment to it.
Top-rated practices in Turnersville
Here are the six highest-scored practices in Turnersville, ranked by star rating and then by review count. Each name links to its full Dental.me profile, where the review history and office details live.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Dayspring Center for Laser Dentistry | 5.0 | 750 | View profile |
| Ronald Damore | 5.0 | 204 | View profile |
| We Do Teeth | 5.0 | 55 | View profile |
| Barry E Ettelson DDS PA | 4.9 | 446 | View profile |
| Carlyn Phucas Orthodontics | 4.9 | 54 | View profile |
| Natoli Dental | 4.8 | 85 | View profile |
Three offices hold a perfect 5.0, but they carry very different amounts of feedback behind that score. The Dayspring Center for Laser Dentistry pairs its 5.0 with 750 reviews, the deepest review count in Turnersville by a wide margin, while We Do Teeth reaches the same rating on 55 reviews. Barry E Ettelson DDS PA is worth a second look too: a 4.9 across 446 reviews is a large body of feedback, and Carlyn Phucas Orthodontics rounds out the list as the specialist option for braces and alignment. Read a rating alongside its review count, and the shape of each practice comes into focus.
How ratings break down across the 14 rated offices
Averages flatten the extremes. This is how the 14 rated practices actually distribute across the four star bands Dental.me tracks.
The split is bimodal. Eight practices cluster at the very top, no practice at all sits in the 4.5 to 4.79 middle band, one lands in the 4.0 to 4.49 range, and five fall under 4.0. That empty middle is the reason the 4.36 average feels lower than the top of the list suggests: the five sub-4.0 offices pull it down. Practically, it means the choice in Turnersville is fairly clear-cut. Start with the eight high-band practices and work down, rather than assuming every listed office is close to the average.
Website coverage and how to reach an office
Ten of the 19 Turnersville practices have a website URL on file with Dental.me. The other nine do not, which simply means no site is recorded here for them, not that the office lacks one.
When a website is listed, it is the fastest way to check services, insurance participation, and new-patient forms before you call. When one is not on file, the practice profile still gives you the rating and review history, and a quick phone call fills in the rest. Either way, treat the website field as a convenience rather than a quality signal: a website on file says nothing about the care, and the rating and review depth are the more reliable guides to what you will experience in the chair.
Review volume: where the 2,493 reviews sit
Review count matters because it tells you how settled a rating is. A 5.0 on 15 reviews can shift with a single bad week; a 4.9 on hundreds is far harder to move. Here is how the six top practices compare on raw review volume.
The Dayspring Center for Laser Dentistry and Barry E Ettelson DDS PA together account for the large majority of the reviews on this list, which makes their scores the most statistically settled in town. Ronald Damore adds a solid 204-review 5.0. The lighter-reviewed offices are not lesser choices, but their ratings rest on a smaller base, so a first visit tells you more relative to what the numbers can. If you value a large review count, weight the top two heavily; if you are open to a smaller review count, the lighter-reviewed 5.0s are reasonable candidates to shortlist and vet yourself.
Cosmetic and whitening care in Turnersville
Beyond routine cleanings and checkups, Turnersville’s listings skew toward appearance-focused care. Seven practices are tagged for cosmetic dentistry and seven for teeth whitening, the two specialty categories that appear in the local data.
If a brighter smile or cosmetic work is what brought you here, you have a healthy set of options to compare. Browse the full list of cosmetic dentists in Turnersville or narrow straight to teeth whitening providers in Turnersville to see which of the seven in each category also carry the ratings and review depth you want. For orthodontic needs specifically, Carlyn Phucas Orthodontics is the dedicated specialist among the top-rated names above.
Looking just beyond Turnersville
Turnersville is surrounded by other South Jersey communities, so if a specific specialty or an open appointment is scarce, neighboring directories widen the field without a long drive. Immediately adjacent options include dentists in Sewell, which shares the Washington Township area, along with dentists in Sicklerville and dentists in Blackwood just to the east. Pine Hill and Pitman round out the nearby corridor. Comparing two or three of these hubs alongside the Turnersville list gives you the widest realistic set of choices while keeping every option within the same part of Gloucester and Camden counties.
How to choose, step by step
Put the pieces together and the search becomes short. Start on the Turnersville dentist directory and work down the ranked list. Focus first on the eight practices in the 4.8-plus band, since the ratings drop off sharply below them. Then weigh each score against its review count: a 4.9 across 446 reviews at Barry E Ettelson DDS PA or a 5.0 across 750 at The Dayspring Center for Laser Dentistry is a more settled signal than a top score on a handful of reviews. Match the practice to your actual need, whether that is a general cleaning, cosmetic work, or orthodontics, and check the profile for a website URL if you want to review services before calling. With 19 practices, 14 of them rated, the Turnersville list is small enough to work through in a single sitting and specific enough to find a practice that fits.
