In Woodside, most dental offices have no website on file. Of the 47 practices Dental.me lists in the neighborhood, only 11 have one, fewer than one in four. Googling “dentist near me” and clicking the first polished page will skip past every practice with no website. All 47 have a phone number listed, and posted weekly hours are stored for 21.

So this guide starts from Google review data instead. Across the 24 Woodside practices with a Google rating, there are 2,816 reviews and a neighborhood average of 4.44 out of 5. The other 23 practices are unrated; Dental.me does not record why. That average is worth reading carefully, because it hides how spread out the ratings are.

Woodside sits between Sunnyside and Jackson Heights in Queens, along the elevated 7 train. What Dental.me’s data shows for it is thin website coverage; how these offices reach their patients is not recorded anywhere we can read. So the review count beside each rating is the most useful public measure here, read as a count of people who wrote a review, not as a measure of care.

Read the ratings, not the rumor

Woodside’s 4.44 average hides a wide spread. Of the 24 rated practices, 9 sit at 4.8 or above, but five of those nine rest on a single review each; only Melvin Velazquez (816 reviews), Robert Bruno (431), NYBRACES Shany Park DMD (53) and Woodside Specialty Dental Clinic (40) have more. Four sit between 4.5 and 4.79, seven between 4.0 and 4.49, and four below 4.0: Josefa Rivas at 3.1 across 72 reviews, Faizul Kabir at 2.8 across 31, Alvear Dental Office P.C. at 3.5 across 11 and Woodside Family Dental PLLC at 3.7 across 3.

The practical takeaway: look first at the 4.8-and-up offices with real review depth, and treat anything under 4.5 as a listing that needs a closer look at what reviewers actually wrote. A 4.2 average is not automatically a bad dentist; a handful of low ratings can pull a score down. So read the reasons behind the lower scores, not just the number. You can see the full roster on the Woodside dentist hub, which lists every practice by Dental.me Score, whether or not it has a website.

The most-reviewed names

Six practices hold 2,278 of Woodside’s 2,816 reviews (81%), and a review count is a tally of how many people wrote something, not of how many were treated. Melvin Velazquez has the largest record, a 4.9 across 816 reviews, and is #1 by Dental.me Score. Next by volume is LS Dental PC at 4.6 across 605, then Robert Bruno at 4.9 across 431 (#2 by Score). The next three are State Dental Arts at 4.3 across 167, Deepak Bhagat at 4.4 across 150 and Woodside Dental Center P.C. at 4.6 across 109. High volume and a top rating do not always travel together.

If a perfect average matters more to you than volume, Woodside Specialty Dental Clinic holds a 5.0 on 40 reviews (#3 by Dental.me Score; on no Dental.me service list), while NYBRACES — Shany Park DMD (4.8, 53 reviews) is on the orthodontist and Invisalign lists. Michael J. Weiss, DDS holds a 4.7 across 61 reviews and is #5 by Score. Read the two numbers together every time: a 5.0 over 40 reviews and a 4.6 over 605 reviews are telling you different, equally useful things.

What Woodside is actually built for

Woodside’s longest Dental.me service list is orthodontics, at 7 practices, and the Invisalign list names those same seven. Dental implants and periodontics list 5 each (the same five offices), teeth whitening and cosmetic dentistry 4 each (the same four), emergency care 3 and pediatric dentistry 2, both unrated. Endodontics and dentures list one practice each, and no Woodside practice is on the oral-surgeon or prosthodontist list, which is where the neighboring areas below become useful.

If you already know what you need, jump straight to the filtered lists: orthodontists in Woodside, Invisalign providers, dental implant practices, or periodontists. Each page is scoped to Woodside and sorted by the same directory-rating logic as the main hub.

Orthodontic and implant work usually run over several visits, so it is worth spending your research time up front. 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.

A four-step way to choose here

Use a deliberate sequence rather than clicking the first result.

One structural note: with only 23% of Woodside practices online, the absence of a website tells you little on its own. Melvin Velazquez’s 816 reviews and LS Dental’s 605 are public Google reviews, readable whether or not an office has a website.
