Most of Palm Beach County grew up around the beach. Wellington grew up around the barn. This is the winter home of the equestrian circuit. Of the 46 practices we track inside the village limits, the longest specialty lists are orthodontics, Invisalign and dental implants — 14 practices each, and the orthodontic and Invisalign lists are the same 14 offices — followed by 13 on the pediatric list. On these counts, Wellington’s listings lean toward straightening teeth, tooth replacement and children’s care. That is the lens this guide reads the market through.
Before the specialty picture, the raw shape of the market. Across those 46 practices, 30 have a Google rating, they hold 5,162 reviews between them, and the rated field averages a 4.62. Of the 46 practices, 27 run a website, which makes those offices easier to research before you call.
That website number is worth pausing on. At 27 of 46, roughly 59 percent of Wellington practices have a website on file, and 15 have neither a website nor a Google rating. A website is a convenience, not a quality mark: Dental.me records which offices have a site, not what is on it. Posted weekly hours are stored for 28 of the 46 listings.
Why the specialty mix is the real story
Fourteen Wellington practices list orthodontics and fourteen offer Invisalign, and they are the same 14 offices; three carry an orthodontic name, and one of those three has no Google rating. Thirteen are on the children’s list, four of them with a children’s or pediatric name (two of those four unrated). If you are moving here with kids or teenagers, those are the lists to start from, and it is worth asking any general office on them whether it sees young children.
Two numbers on that chart deserve a second look. First, implants also hit 14, and all 8 oral-surgery listings sit inside that implant list; Wellington has no prosthodontist listing, and its dentures list holds 2. Second, emergency care sits at the bottom with seven practices. Dental.me holds no data on which offices see patients on short notice or after hours, so do not wait until 9pm on a Saturday to find out: on a calm day, check which of the seven is closest and ask how it handles urgent calls.
The shape of quality here
An average of 4.62 could hide a lot. When you break the 30 rated practices into bands, the distribution is top-heavy: 21 of them sit at 4.8 or above. That is 70 percent of the rated field in the top band, though 5 of those 21 ratings rest on 14 or fewer reviews. Only two practices fall below 4.0.
What that top-heavy chart means in practice: in Wellington, the median rating is 4.9, and a 4.8 sits below 18 of the 30 rated offices. When 21 offices clear 4.8, the rating alone stops being a useful filter and the review count behind the rating becomes the better signal. A 4.9 on 36 reviews and a 4.9 on 585 are not the same claim. That is where the Score list comes in.
The two practices under 4.0 rest on very little: a 3.7 on 3 reviews and a 1.0 on a single review, too few to say much either way. Read the actual text of low reviews before you write an office off: complaints about billing or scheduling are a different signal than complaints about the dentistry itself. The same discipline applies at the top — skim the most recent reviews, not just the average, because a practice that changed hands or added an associate can change in ways a lifetime score is slow to reflect.
The top six on the Dental.me Score
These are the top six on the Dental.me Score, with the Google review data behind each. Michael Harris ranks first, holding a 4.9 across 585 reviews. Close behind, Anthony Apicella carries a 4.9 over 449 reviews, and Delicate Periodontics and Implant Dentistry a 4.9 over 333 — its name and its place on the implant and periodontics lists make it one to compare if your search is about gums or implants. The most-reviewed office in Wellington is not in the six: Modern Dental Smiles of Wellington holds a 4.8 on 662 reviews and sits 11th on the Score.
Eight offices post a perfect 5.0, and six of the eight rest on 18 or fewer reviews. Amjad Pirzada holds it across 300 reviews, and Ailema Bayola Perez holds a 5.0 across 160. Rounding out the six, Jonathan Petrover sits at 4.9 over 294. Any of these six is a reasonable starting point; which one is right depends less on the score and more on what you need done. Notice, too, that the list mixes listings under individual dentists’ names and practice names — Dental.me does not record staffing, so ask either kind of office who would see you.

How to actually choose — a Wellington-specific method
Because the ratings run so high here, the usual advice (“pick the four-and-a-half-star one”) is useless. Use this order instead.
One local wrinkle worth planning around: Wellington hosts the winter equestrian season, roughly January through spring. If you are relocating or scheduling elective work around it — whitening before an event, the start of an ortho case — ask each office how soon it can schedule you; Dental.me holds no appointment-availability data. Dental.me does not publish prices, and our national guide to dental costs gives no price ranges either; it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials), so ask each office for a written, itemised estimate.
Looking just outside the village
Wellington sits in western Palm Beach County, and the neighboring directories add more offices to compare. The most natural spillovers are Royal Palm Beach and Loxahatchee immediately to the north and west, then Lake Worth and Greenacres to the east toward the coast. Palm Springs and the small enclave of Atlantis round out the practical commuting radius. Across the six, that is 142 practices, 74 of them rated.
However you narrow it, start from the Wellington hub, where all 46 practices are ranked by Dental.me Score. If you want to understand the scoring behind those rankings, our methodology explains how each practice’s Score is built.
