What the numbers say about dentistry in West Long Branch
West Long Branch is a small Monmouth County borough on the Jersey Shore, wrapped by Long Branch to the east, Eatontown to the west, and Oceanport to the south, with Monmouth University at its center along Cedar and Norwood Avenues. Dental.me tracks 25 practices serving West Long Branch, and 15 of them have collected enough patient feedback to hold a star rating. Those 15 rated offices average 4.61 out of five, a figure pulled upward by a cluster of practices sitting at or near a perfect score. Across every rated office in town, 1,268 reviews have been left, a substantial body of feedback for a borough measured in a few square miles.
The remaining 10 practices are tracked but unrated, meaning Dental.me lists them without a star score because they have not yet gathered enough public reviews to calculate one. That does not place them below the rated group; it only means there is less to read before you call, so you lean more on a direct conversation and less on the record. Between the rated and unrated offices, West Long Branch gives you real choice within a short drive.
The average on its own will not tell you where to book, so the sections below take the same numbers apart four ways: how the 4.61 sits on the five-star scale, how the ratings are distributed across bands, how many offices publish a website, and which practices carry the most reviews behind their scores. Read together, they let you separate a practice with a handful of glowing reviews from one with a high rating across hundreds of reviews.
Top-rated dental practices in West Long Branch
The table below ranks the six most-reviewed offices Dental.me lists for West Long Branch, sorted by rating and then by review volume. Between them these six practices account for 1,189 of the borough’s 1,268 rated reviews, so this short list covers the large majority of reviews in town.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Long Branch Dental | 5.0 | 580 | View profile |
| Dr. Robert J. Damurjian & Dr. Mark A. Nasr | 5.0 | 157 | View profile |
| Jonathan Levy | 5.0 | 28 | View profile |
| Isaacson Orthodontics, L.L.P. | 4.9 | 191 | View profile |
| Ronold Epstein | 4.9 | 150 | View profile |
| Beam Dental West Long Branch | 4.9 | 83 | View profile |
The most striking figure in the table is the gap in review volume behind identical scores. West Long Branch Dental holds a 5.0 across 580 reviews, more than three times the count of any other office in the borough, while Jonathan Levy also holds a 5.0 but across 28 reviews. Both are the same 5.0; they simply rest on very different amounts of evidence. A perfect rating built on hundreds of reviews has been tested far more times than one built on a couple of dozen, and that durability is worth weighing when two offices look equal on the star line.
It is also worth noting what kind of office each entry is. Three of the six, led by West Long Branch Dental and the Damurjian and Nasr practice, are general offices suited to routine and family care, while Isaacson Orthodontics is a dedicated orthodontic practice whose 191 reviews reflect braces and aligner work rather than cleanings. Reading the table with that distinction in mind keeps you from comparing an orthodontist and a general dentist as if they answered the same need.
The chart below plots the same six practices by review count so the spread is easy to see at a glance.
How ratings are distributed across the borough
An average of 4.61 could describe many different towns, so it helps to see how the 15 rated offices actually land on the scale. Dental.me sorts them into four bands. Twelve of the 15 sit at 4.8 or above, none fall in the 4.5-to-4.79 range, two land between 4.0 and 4.49, and one rates below 4.0. In other words, four out of five rated practices in West Long Branch cluster near the very top, with a small tail of lower-scored offices rather than a broad middle.
This shape is useful when you shortlist. A near-empty middle band means that once you move past the top tier, the drop in score is real rather than gradual, so it is worth checking which band a practice falls into before you assume a strong rating. The three offices that sit below 4.8, two in the 4.0-to-4.49 band and one under 4.0, are the ones to read carefully rather than dismiss, since a lower score on a small number of reviews can shift quickly. The 10 practices with no rating at all are a separate group; they simply have not gathered enough public feedback yet, and Dental.me does not record why.
What sits behind a Dental.me Score
Each rating shown here is a Dental.me Score, not a single star average lifted from one place. The Score weighs a practice’s rating together with how many reviews stand behind it and whether the office’s details have been confirmed, so a practice cannot rise up the West Long Branch list simply by collecting a few high marks. That design is exactly why review volume carries so much weight in a borough like this one, where a top score of 5.0 is shared by three offices but backed by anywhere from 28 to 580 reviews.
The Score is earned from that public record; it is never sold. Only Featured placement on Dental.me can be paid for, and paying for a Featured spot cannot lift a practice’s rating or move it above a higher-scored office in the ranked list. When you compare two West Long Branch practices here, you are weighing standing each one earned from its own patients, which is what makes the ordering worth trusting when you are deciding where to spend your own visit.
Website coverage and how to reach an office
Of the 25 practices Dental.me tracks in West Long Branch, 13 have a website URL on file and 12 do not. A listed website is convenient because it usually carries the details a listing cannot verify, such as which insurance plans an office takes, whether it sees children, and how to request an appointment outside business hours. When no website URL is on file, the office may still be excellent; you will simply need to call to confirm the basics rather than reading them online first.
The 15 rated offices are a separate slice from the 13 with a website, and the two groups overlap only partly, so it is worth checking both signals on a profile. A practice can hold a strong rating with no website URL on file, and a practice can publish a polished website while carrying few reviews. On the West Long Branch directory hub you can open any profile to see both at once, along with the office’s placement in the ranked list.
Choosing the right practice for your needs
Star ratings answer whether patients were satisfied, not whether an office does the specific work you need, so match the practice to the visit. A routine cleaning and checkup is well served by any of the top general offices, and here that points first to the two highest-reviewed 5.0 practices, West Long Branch Dental and the Damurjian and Nasr practice. If your visit is about braces or aligners, Isaacson Orthodontics is the borough’s dedicated orthodontic office and carries 191 reviews behind its 4.9. For a second strong general option, Ronold Epstein holds a 4.9 across 150 reviews, and Beam Dental West Long Branch rounds out the 4.9 tier with 83.
Once you have a short list, a two-minute call settles the practical questions a rating cannot: whether the office is accepting new patients, whether it is in your insurance network, and how soon it can see you. If you have a same-week toothache, ask directly about emergency or same-day slots, since availability varies by office and is not something any listing can promise on a practice’s behalf. Bring your insurance card and any prior X-rays to that call so the office can quote your likely share of the cost and plan the first visit before you arrive rather than after.

Long Branch sits immediately to the east along the coast, Eatontown is directly west, and Oceanport is just south.
