This guide covers what the registry actually records about those 54: the general and specialist split, the streets they sit on, how they are registered and how long they have been on file. Nothing here is atmosphere. It is all countable.
What is listed in Carthay
33 of the 54 listings are tagged general dentistry. The specialist tags are 7 orthodontics, 6 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 5 periodontics, 4 dental clinic, and one each for endodontics, dental public health and pediatric dentistry. A single listing can carry more than one tag, so those figures overlap.
Two streets carry almost everything. Wilshire Blvd holds 30 listings, with one more filed as Wilshire Blvd. because of a stray period in the address. N La Cienega Blvd has 11 and S La Cienega Blvd has 8, plus one recorded simply as S La Cienega. Small spelling differences like these are how the source data arrives, and they refer to the same roads.
39 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 15 as organizations. 32 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration in Carthay dates to 2006.

How to choose between them
Because the listings are packed onto two streets in a single ZIP code, distance will not narrow your options much. What narrows them is asking the right question on the phone: does this practice do the treatment I need itself, and how soon can a new patient be seen.
Carthay has an unusual amount of surgical and gum specialty coverage for its size, with 6 oral and maxillofacial surgery listings and 5 periodontics. If you have been told you need an extraction, an implant or gum treatment, you may be able to stay local rather than travel. Ask your general dentist who they normally refer to and whether that person is nearby.
Pediatric dentistry and endodontics are the thin spots, with one listing each. If your child needs a dentist, or you need a root canal specialist, plan on calling around rather than assuming a local appointment.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
No listing in Carthay is tagged prosthodontics, the specialty for crowns, bridges, dentures and complex restorative work. The nearest prosthodontic listings are elsewhere in Beverly Hills, about 1.1 miles away, where we list 23 of them.

Insurance and paying
The registry behind this directory holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. It knows who is registered to practice and at what address. None of the 54 Carthay listings has published hours or a website with us, and none has been claimed by its owner, so anything about money has to come from the practice directly.
When you call, ask whether they are in network with your specific plan, not simply whether they accept your insurer. In network usually means a rate negotiated in advance. Out of network can still be workable, but you carry more of the bill and may pay upfront and claim back.
For anything beyond an exam and clean, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes on it. That is what lets your insurer give you a number before the work starts.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost crown or pain that has stopped you sleeping, call general dentistry practices on Wilshire Blvd and La Cienega Blvd and ask specifically for a same day emergency appointment. With 33 general listings inside 90211, a run of calls is the fastest route to a chair today.
Not everything belongs in a dental chair. Go to an emergency room if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you have any difficulty breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop. Those are hospital problems.
You can also search dentist directory to order practices by distance from wherever you are rather than by neighborhood.
