The neighborhood is heavily weighted toward general dentistry, with 49 of the 62 listings in that category. Specialists exist here but mostly one at a time. This guide sets out what our records contain, what they leave out, and where to look when the single listing in a specialty is not enough.
What is listed in Adams Square
Of the 62 listings, 49 are general dentists and 10 are dental clinics. Specialist coverage runs to 3 orthodontists, 2 pediatric dentists, and one each in oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics.
The practices cluster along a few streets. E Colorado St has 25 listings, S Glendale Ave has 19, S Chevy Chase Dr has 7, E Chevy Chase Dr has 5 and E Palmer Ave has 2. Those five streets account for nearly every practice in the neighborhood.
The split between individual practitioners and organizations is exactly even at 31 each, which is unusual. Thirty five of the 62 have held their registration since before 2010, with the oldest dating to 2006. None of the listings has been claimed, and none has published a website or opening hours with us.
- 62 practices, all in ZIP 91205

How to choose between them
With 49 general dentists inside one ZIP code, the constraint is not supply, it is how you compare them. Pick three or four on a street you can reach easily, call each, and ask the same questions: when can a new patient be seen, do you take my exact plan, and what does a first exam with x rays cost.
The even split between individual practitioners and organizations is a genuine fork. Individually registered dentists usually mean continuity, the same person knowing your mouth over years. Organizations often mean more chairs and broader hours, though not always. Decide which you value before the calls, because both will sound reasonable on the phone.
If you need a specialist, be aware that most specialties here have exactly one listing. That is a referral route, not a choice, and it is worth asking your general dentist how long the wait is before you commit.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
No specialty is entirely absent from Adams Square, but several are represented by a single practice. Endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery each have one listing. Pediatric dentistry has two.
That thinness matters more than it sounds. A single endodontist covering a neighborhood with 49 general dentists will not always have room, and if you need a second opinion there is nobody else here to give it.
Glendale City Center is the obvious answer, with 166 listed practices about 1.1 miles away. North Glendale has 106 at 1.8 miles and West Glendale has 25 at 1.1 miles. Rancho San Rafael has 16 at 2.6 miles, Atwater Village has 11 at 1.0 mile, and Sparr Heights has 10 at 4.1 miles. Almost all of that is a short trip.
Insurance and paying
These listings come from public registration data, which holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. In Adams Square none of the 62 practices has published any of that with us, so every listing here is a starting point rather than an answer.
When you call, ask whether the practice is in network with your specific plan and not just with the insurer. Two people holding cards from the same company can face very different bills at the same office.
For anything more than a routine exam, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes on it before treatment starts, and send it to your insurer for their answer in writing. When a practice claims its listing on this site it can add hours, prices and insurance details itself, which is why a claimed listing is worth more than an unclaimed one.
If it is urgent
For a cracked tooth, a lost crown or pain that is keeping you awake, work down E Colorado St and S Glendale Ave. Forty four listings sit on those two streets between them, most of them general practices, and a few calls will usually find someone who can fit you in the same day if you can travel at once.
Not everything belongs in a dental chair. Go to an emergency room if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing has become difficult, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If Adams Square is fully booked, search by distance at dentist directory. Glendale City Center alone puts another 166 listings within a couple of miles.
