Northridge, CA Dentists

Northridge dental market brief

Quick answer: Dental.me currently organizes 143 Northridge dental practice profiles. Eighty-two carry Google rating data across 7,287 reviews, 64 publish a practice website, and 77 include business hours. The strongest search concentration is in ZIP code 91324, while source-backed category data gives patients separate comparison paths for cosmetic dentistry, implants, orthodontics, periodontics, pediatric dentistry, oral surgery, and endodontics.

What the local directory coverage means

This page describes Dental.me profile coverage, not a count of every licensed dentist working in Northridge. Of the 143 profiles in the current directory, 112 connect to Google/Maps business data, 82 have a public star rating, and 43 connect at least one named dentist record. Those differences matter: a profile with a website, current hours, a named provider, and a substantial review history gives a patient more information to verify before calling than a location-only record.

The rated offices average 4.73 stars, but the average should not be used alone. Review volume ranges widely. For example, the current ranking shows Lavo Dental at 5.0 stars across 619 Google reviews, Afshin Mazdeyasnan DDS a Prof Dental Corp at 4.9 across 517, and Niloo Tavakol DDS Inc at 4.9 across 432. These are data points from the current ranking, not endorsements; patients should still verify the treating dentist, services, insurance, fees, and appointment availability directly with the office.

Where Northridge dental profiles are concentrated

The directory is geographically concentrated rather than evenly distributed. ZIP code 91324 contains 97 profiles, or about 68% of the Northridge total. ZIP code 91325 contains 27 profiles and 91326 contains 17. For a patient, that makes ZIP code and travel direction practical comparison filters: start with the closest cluster, then widen the search to Granada Hills, Winnetka, Porter Ranch, or Reseda if the needed specialty, schedule, or insurance fit is not available nearby.

Specialty depth in Northridge

Source-backed Dental.me relationships connect 34 Northridge profiles to cosmetic dentistry, 25 to dental implants, 25 to orthodontics, 18 to periodontics, 13 to emergency dentistry, 12 to pediatric dentistry, and 10 each to oral surgery and endodontics. A practice may appear in more than one category, so these counts must not be added together or read as counts of board-certified specialists. They are useful as evidence-based search paths: compare the relevant category, open individual profiles, and confirm that the office currently provides the specific treatment you need.

Local population context, with an important boundary note

Northridge is a Los Angeles neighborhood, not an incorporated city. The City of Los Angeles says its Northridge Community Plan Area includes Northridge and Sherwood Forest. The city planning department's official 2021 demographic profile, based on the 2017-2021 American Community Survey, estimated 65,816 residents across an approximately 9.4-square-mile study area. The profile counted 9,350 residents age 65 or older, about 14.2% of that population.

Dividing 143 Dental.me profiles by that planning-area estimate yields roughly 22 directory profiles per 10,000 residents. This is only a directional directory-coverage ratio: practice postal localities and the planning-area boundary are not identical, one location can include multiple dentists, and the figure is not a licensed-dentist supply ratio or proof that Northridge has a shortage. The age mix does, however, make it reasonable for patients to compare accessibility, periodontal care, restorative dentistry, dentures, and implant services when those needs apply.

A practical way to choose a Northridge dentist

• Start with the reason for the visit. Use the full ranked list for general care and a source-backed specialty page for implants, orthodontics, pediatric care, periodontics, oral surgery, or endodontics.
• Compare evidence, not only stars. Read the rating together with review count, named-provider data, website, hours, address, and Dental.me Score.
• Verify the current details. Call the office to confirm the treating dentist, accepted insurance, estimated fees, accessibility needs, language support, and whether the requested service is offered at that location.
• Expand geographically when useful. Nearby city directories can reveal a closer appointment or a better specialty fit within a few miles of Northridge.
