Wantagh, New York has 28 dental practices in the Dental.me directory, and 23 of them have a Google rating on file, averaging 4.60 stars across 2,038 reviews. Seventeen of the rated offices hold 4.8 stars or higher, though six of those rest on 10 reviews or fewer, so read each rating beside its review count, start with the six highest Dental.me Scores below, and confirm office details before you book.
This guide walks through every number Dental.me holds for Wantagh: the rating bands, the offices with the highest Scores, the largest review records, website coverage, the service lists and the neighbouring directories. Most rated offices sit at 4.8 stars or higher, but three sit below 4.0, one of them with 159 reviews behind its rating, so the spread is worth reading before you shortlist.
How Wantagh’s dentists score at a glance
Of the 28 practices listed, 23 have a Google rating and 5 have no rating and no reviews in Dental.me’s data. Among the rated offices, 17 sit at 4.8 stars or above, 2 land in the 4.5 to 4.79 range, one falls between 4.0 and 4.49, and 3 sit below 4.0. The three below 4.0 are why the average across rated offices is 4.60 although most of them sit at 4.8 or higher.
The top band is large but not uniform. Of the 17 offices at 4.8 or higher, 11 have more than 10 reviews behind their rating and six rest on 10 or fewer, so weigh the review count and the service you need alongside the star number. A Google rating does not by itself measure clinical quality.
The six highest Dental.me Scores in Wantagh
The table below lists the six offices with the highest Dental.me Scores, sorted by Google rating and then review count. Three hold a 5.0 and three a 4.9; nine more Wantagh offices hold a 5.0 on 64 reviews or fewer. Smile Couture shares the sixth-highest Score with two of those nine, John J. Ellwood D.M.D. (5.0 on 64 reviews) and Park Avenue Dental, Norman E. Rich, DDS (5.0 on 46), and takes the sixth row on its review count. The table is not the six most-reviewed offices: Dr. Mitchell Brookstone DDS PC holds a 3.4 on 159 reviews, the fifth-largest record in Wantagh and more than Smile Couture’s 65, and ranks 21st of the 23 rated offices in the Score order.

Rating alone does not tell the whole story, because a 5.0 built on 65 reviews and a 4.9 built on 843 reviews describe two different things. The chart below plots the review counts behind the six offices in the table, so you can see how much feedback stands behind each rating.
Deepa Ipektchi carries by far the largest body of feedback in Wantagh at 843 reviews while holding a 4.9, a strong score on a large review count. The three 5.0 offices in the table, Nosov Cosmetic Dentistry, Anthony J. Bacchi DDS, and Smile Couture, sit in the 65 to 187 range, so their perfect scores rest on more modest but still meaningful review counts. Neither pattern is better in the abstract; a heavily reviewed 4.9 and a less-reviewed 5.0 are simply different kinds of evidence, and which one reassures you depends on your own priorities.
Website coverage and office details on file
Of the 28 Wantagh practices, 20 have a website URL on file with Dental.me and 8 do not. A website link makes it easier to check services, insurance, and new-patient forms before you call, so it is a convenient filter, though its absence is only a note about what the directory holds, not a judgment on the office itself.
If online booking or reviewing a services page ahead of time matters to you, the 20 practices with a listed website are the natural starting point. For the remaining 8, a phone call is the way to gather the same information; we hold no website for those offices, which is a gap in the public record rather than a signal about the practice.
Wantagh’s service lists
Dental.me’s longest Wantagh service lists are cosmetic dentists and teeth whitening (10 offices each), dental implants (8) and periodontists (6). Orthodontists, Invisalign and emergency dentists hold 4 each (the orthodontist and Invisalign lists are the same four offices), pediatric dentists 3 and endodontists 2, and the oral surgeon, dentures and prosthodontist lists are empty. The chart below shows all 12. 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.
To browse by need, see the Wantagh lists for cosmetic dentists, dental implant providers, teeth whitening, and periodontists. Several offices in the Score table sit on more than one list: Smile Couture is on nine of the 12 and Deepa Ipektchi on seven. If a list is short or empty for what you need, the neighbouring directories below use the same data.
What the review counts tell you
Across the whole Wantagh directory, people have left 2,038 Google reviews. Deepa Ipektchi alone accounts for 843 of them (41%), and the median rated office has 18. When you read a rating, pair it with the count: a 4.9 across hundreds of reviews rests on a large sample, and a 5.0 across a few dozen rests on a smaller one.
A useful habit is to read an office’s recent reviews on Google rather than only its headline number, and to look for comments about the specific service you need, whether that is an implant consult, a whitening visit, or a routine family cleaning. The star rating summarises those reviews; the written comments show what reviewers said about the service you need. Neither measures clinical quality on its own.

How to choose using the Dental.me Score
Every practice on Dental.me is ranked by its Dental.me Score, which 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. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order. Every star rating on this page is the Google rating on file.
For Wantagh, start with the six highest Scores in the table, narrow to the offices on the service list you need, and read each rating beside its review count: Deepa Ipektchi’s 4.9 rests on 843 reviews, while the 5.0s at Nosov Cosmetic Dentistry, Anthony J. Bacchi DDS and Smile Couture rest on 187, 180 and 65. Confirm the office’s location, hours, insurance and whether it is taking new patients directly before you book.
