That density changes how you should search. In most neighborhoods the question is whether the care you need exists nearby. Here it usually does, and the harder question is how to narrow down a very long list. Everything below comes from the listings themselves.
What is listed in Serramonte
Forty seven of the 74 listings include general dentistry. The specialist coverage is unusually complete for a neighborhood of this size: eight list oral and maxillofacial surgery, seven endodontics, six orthodontics, five are dental clinics, two list periodontics, one pediatric dentistry and one prosthodontics. Some practices carry more than one specialty, so the figures overlap.
Two streets carry the bulk of it. Gellert Blvd has 29 listings and Campus Dr has 22, with two more written as Campus Drive. Southgate Ave adds nine and Hickey Blvd four. The neighborhood covers ZIP codes 94015 and 94014.
Fifty seven of the 74 are registered as individual practitioners against 17 organizations, so this is largely a neighborhood of individual dentists rather than groups. Fifty one were registered before 2010 and the oldest registration dates to 2006, which makes this a long established cluster rather than a recent one.
How to choose between them
With 74 options, filtering matters more than searching. Start with the specialty you actually need. If it is routine care, you are choosing among 47 general listings and the deciding factors will be availability, cost and whether the practice handles its own root canals and extractions.
The overwhelming majority are individual practitioners. In practice that tends to mean continuity of care with one dentist, smaller teams and appointment books that fill from a single diary. If you need evenings or weekends, ask early, because a small practice is less likely to offer them.
Because Gellert Blvd and Campus Dr between them account for 51 listings, you can compare several practices without moving your car. That is worth using. Walk in, ask for a price list for common treatments, and see how the front desk handles the question.
When you need something that is not here
Serramonte is one of the rare neighborhoods with no obvious specialty gap. Every major dental specialty in our data has at least one listing here, including oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, pediatric dentistry and prosthodontics.
That said, one listing is not a choice. Pediatric dentistry and prosthodontics have a single practice each, so if you want a second opinion in either, look outside. Westlake is 1.7 miles away with 30 listings, and Top of the Hill is 2.4 miles with 35. Those are the two mapped neighborhoods nearest to Serramonte, and together they add another 65 practices within a short drive.
Insurance and paying
None of the 74 listings here has been claimed, and none publishes a website or opening hours through us. The registry behind these pages records who a provider is and what they practice. It does not record fees, opening hours or insurance networks, so this page cannot show you any of those. A practice that claims its listing can add them, which is the whole point of claiming.
That leaves the phone. Ask whether they are in network with your specific plan by name, not just with your insurer. Out of network practices often still submit claims on your behalf, but the shortfall between their fee and the allowed amount is yours to pay.
For anything substantial, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes. In a neighborhood with 47 general listings, taking that estimate to a second practice costs you an afternoon and can save considerably more.
If it is urgent
Same day appointments exist but they go early. Call at opening, say clearly that it is an emergency, and describe the swelling, bleeding or pain in one sentence. With 29 listings on Gellert Blvd alone, working down a short list of numbers is realistic.
Some things should not wait for a dentist at all. Go to an emergency room if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you are struggling to breathe or swallow, if you have a fever together with facial swelling, or if bleeding from your mouth will not stop. Those are hospital problems, not dental appointments.
If every local number is engaged, dentist directory lets you search by distance rather than neighborhood, which will also surface practices in Westlake and Top of the Hill.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Serramonte?
Seventy four practices, out of 168 across Daly City. Forty seven include general dentistry and the rest cover oral surgery, endodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, pediatric dentistry and prosthodontics. Gellert Blvd has 29 of them and Campus Dr has another 22, so most of the neighborhood's dentistry sits on two streets.
Can I get specialist dental care without leaving Serramonte?
In most cases yes. Every major specialty has at least one listing in the neighborhood, including eight oral and maxillofacial surgery practices and seven endodontists. Pediatric dentistry and prosthodontics have only one listing each, so for those you may want to compare with Westlake, 1.7 miles away.
Which ZIP codes cover Serramonte dentists?
Listings here fall into 94015 and 94014. Search both if your insurer's directory works by ZIP code, since restricting to one will hide part of the neighborhood. Nearby, Westlake adds 30 listings at 1.7 miles and Top of the Hill adds 35 at 2.4 miles.
