What follows comes only from the registry: counts by specialty, street addresses, the split between individuals and organizations, and registration dates. The registry does not hold fees, opening hours or insurance details, so treat this as a way to build a shortlist rather than a final answer.
What is listed in the Centerville District
68 of the 80 listings are general dentistry, so this is overwhelmingly a neighborhood for routine care. Alongside them are 6 dental clinics, 6 oral and maxillofacial surgery listings, 3 pediatric dentistry, 2 endodontics, 2 periodontics, 2 orthodontics, 1 prosthodontics and 1 orofacial pain listing.
The addresses group around a handful of roads. Martha Ave has 23 listings, Mattos Dr has 12, Mowry Ave has 11, Fremont Blvd has 7 and Argonaut Way has 4. Between them those five streets account for well over half the neighborhood.
56 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 24 as organizations. 43 of the 80 have been registered since before 2010, which is a little over half, and the oldest registration in the district dates to 2005.
How to choose between them
With 68 general dentistry listings, the practical problem here is not finding a dentist but narrowing down. Location is the easiest filter: Martha Ave alone has 23 listings, so if that street suits your commute you have plenty of choice within one block or two.
The specialist bench is real but shallow. Oral and maxillofacial surgery has 6 listings, which covers extractions and implant placement, but endodontics, periodontics and orthodontics have only two listings each and prosthodontics has one. If you know you need that kind of work, ask before you register whether the practice does it in house or refers.
Questions that separate similar looking practices:
- Are you taking new patients, and what is the wait for a routine exam?
- Do you do root canals and extractions here, or send them elsewhere?
- Do you see children, or refer to one of the pediatric practices nearby?
- Which street are you on, and is there parking on site?
If you need something the district does not have
Every specialty tracked in this registry has at least one listing in the Centerville District, so there is no outright gap. But one prosthodontics listing and two each of endodontics, periodontics and orthodontics is not much depth, and a single practitioner may not be taking referrals when you need them.
The nearest alternatives are close. Niles Junction has 5 listings about 1.7 miles away and Irvington District has 34 at roughly 2.3 miles, which is the largest nearby pool. Contempo has 4 at 4 miles, Mission San Jose District has 22 at 4.5 miles, Warm Springs District has 15 at 5.8 miles and Curtner has 6 about 7.1 miles out. Fremont as a whole holds 438 listings, so widening the search opens a lot of doors.
Insurance and paying
None of the 80 listings in the Centerville District has been claimed by its practice, and none publishes a website or opening hours through us. The registry holds no fee information and no insurance participation for any listing anywhere. That is the honest limit of what these pages can tell you, and it is why claimed listings matter: claiming is how a practice adds hours, services and insurance details.
So the phone call is where the money questions get answered. Ask whether the practice is in network with your plan rather than whether they accept it, because out of network treatment is usually still possible but leaves you paying a larger share. Ask for a written estimate before agreeing to anything beyond an exam, and ask what happens to the estimate if the treatment turns out to be more complex.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost crown or pain that will not settle, call the closest practices and ask specifically for a same day emergency appointment. In a neighborhood with 80 listings, someone usually has a slot, and starting with Martha Ave, Mattos Dr and Mowry Ave covers most of the district quickly.
There are symptoms that call for an emergency room instead. Swelling spreading toward your eye or down your neck, difficulty breathing or swallowing, fever with facial swelling, or bleeding from the mouth that will not stop are all medical emergencies. Do not spend an afternoon phoning dental offices if any of those apply.
If the district is fully booked, you can search by distance at dentist directory and take in Niles Junction and the Irvington District as you widen out.
