Twenty three of those 36 listings are general dentists. Alongside them the neighborhood has five orthodontic listings, three pediatric, two oral and maxillofacial surgery, two endodontic and two general dental clinics. That mix decides most of what follows, so it is worth knowing before you start calling.
What is listed in Lamont Court
The practices here are concentrated on one road. Twenty nine listings give an address on W Main St, and one more is recorded as West Main Street, which is the same street written a different way. Professional Ln accounts for six more. Between them those two streets cover almost every practice in the neighborhood.
The listings fall in two ZIP codes, 36301 and 36303. Twenty three of the 36 are registered as individual practitioners and 13 as organizations, so you will find both solo dentists listed under their own names and group practices listed under a business name.
Twenty five of the 36 have been registered since before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2005. A long registration history is not a measure of quality, but it does tell you the practice has been at work in this area for a while.

How to choose between them
With 23 general dentists in a neighborhood this compact, the practical question is rarely whether anyone is close enough. It is which practice suits you. Call two or three, ask whether they are taking new patients, ask how far out the next routine appointment is, and ask what they do when a patient calls in pain.
The split between individual practitioners and organizations is close to even. A solo listing usually means you see the same dentist each visit. An organization may have several dentists and hygienists, which often means more appointment slots but less certainty about who you will see. Neither is better in the abstract.
If you already know you need orthodontic, pediatric, endodontic or oral surgery care, the choice narrows quickly, because there are only a handful of each here. Ask your general dentist who they refer to, since they will know which of these local specialists they work with.
If you need something Lamont Court does not have
Two specialties have no listing in this neighborhood. For periodontics, the nearest listings are elsewhere in Dothan, about a mile away, where six periodontic practices are listed. For prosthodontics, again about a mile away in Dothan, there are two.
A mile is close enough that this is not really a barrier. It does mean that if you are treating gum disease or planning a full set of restorations, you should expect to travel a short distance for part of the work while your general dentist stays here.
Neighboring areas add more choice within a few minutes' drive. Brentwood has 21 practices at 2.2 miles, Hartford Heights and Rock Creek Park have nine each at 1.2 and 1.9 miles, Fairlane has six at 3.4 miles, and Cherokee Acres and Griffin Heights have three each.
Insurance and what things cost
Our registry holds names, addresses and registration details. It does not hold fees, opening hours or which insurance plans a practice accepts, and none of the 36 listings in Lamont Court has published hours or a website through us. That information has to come from the practice itself.
Before you book, call your insurer or check their online directory to see whether a practice is in network. In network usually means a fixed, discounted fee schedule. Out of network can still be covered, but often at a lower rate, and the practice can bill you the difference.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate that lists each procedure code and what your plan is expected to pay. A verbal figure is easy to misremember on both sides. Claimed listings, where a practice keeps its own details current, are the ones most likely to answer these questions up front.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or a toothache that is keeping you awake, call general practices on W Main St in the morning and ask directly for a same day emergency slot. Many keep a small amount of time free each day for exactly this. Being nearby helps, because a practice can often fit in someone who can arrive within the hour.
Some problems are not dental appointments at all. Go to an emergency room if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If nothing here can see you, widen the search. You can look by distance at dentist directory and work outward from Lamont Court until you find a practice with an opening.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Lamont Court?
Thirty six dental practices are listed in the neighborhood, of which 23 are general dentists. The neighborhood also has five orthodontic listings, three pediatric, two oral and maxillofacial surgery, two endodontic and two dental clinics. That is a large share of the 129 practices listed across Dothan, concentrated within about 1.2 miles of the city center.
Where are most Lamont Court dental practices located?
Almost all of them are on one road. Thirty of the 36 listings give an address on W Main St, counting the one recorded as West Main Street, and six more are on Professional Ln. The listings sit in ZIP codes 36301 and 36303, so a single trip along W Main St passes most of the dentists in the neighborhood.
Is there a periodontist in Lamont Court?
Not in the neighborhood itself. The nearest periodontic listings are elsewhere in Dothan, roughly a mile away, where six are listed. Prosthodontics is also absent here, with two listed about a mile away. Your general dentist in Lamont Court can usually refer you and coordinate the treatment, so you only travel for the specialist visits.
