The mix is heavily general. Thirty-nine of the 42 listings are recorded as general dentistry. The directory also lists two orthodontists, one pediatric dentist, one endodontist and one dental clinic here. For everyday care that is plenty of choice; for specialist work it means looking outward more often than not.
What is listed in Culver Garden
This is close to a single street neighborhood for dentistry. W Washington Blvd carries 33 practices, with a further two recorded under the abbreviated form W Washington Bl, two under a numbered variant of the same road and one with a trailing comma in the address. Chase Ave has one. Address spellings vary in the source records, but they point to the same corridor.
One ZIP code, 90066, covers the neighborhood. Twenty-nine listings are registered to individual practitioners and 13 to organizations. Twenty-two have been registered since before 2010 and the oldest registration dates to 2006, so about half of these addresses have been in use for fifteen years or more.
- W Washington Blvd and its address variants: 38 practices

- General dentistry 39, orthodontics 2, pediatric 1, endodontics 1, dental clinic 1
Choosing between them
Because almost everything here is on one boulevard, you can compare practices without much travel. That is worth using. Call two or three, ask how soon a new patient exam is available, ask whether they are in network with your plan, and ask what they do about pain outside opening hours. Those three answers separate practices faster than any listing page can.
With 39 of 42 listings in general dentistry, expect most treatment to be general treatment: exams, cleanings, fillings, crowns, simple extractions. Some general dentists also do root canals, implant restorations and clear aligners, but the register does not record which, so ask. The single endodontist and the two orthodontists in the neighborhood are useful, but one specialist practice means availability can be tight.
What is not here
Three specialties have no listing in Culver Garden. Periodontics and prosthodontics are nearest in Santa Monica, 3.9 miles away, with 12 periodontic and 7 prosthodontic practices there. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is nearest in Beverly Hills, 5.1 miles away, where 23 practices are listed. Gum surgery, complex implant work and surgical extractions therefore mean a trip.
For more general options close by, Del Rey has 3 practices at 0.5 miles and Mar Vista has 16 at 0.7 miles. Playa Vista lists 4 at 1.5 miles, Palms 22 at 1.7 miles, Westside Village 17 at 1.8 miles and Westdale 18 at 1.9 miles. Together those neighborhoods put another 80 practices within two miles.
Insurance and paying
The in network question matters more than any advertised price. In network, the fee has been negotiated with your insurer already. Out of network, the practice charges what it charges and your plan reimburses part of it, or none of it. Ask before the first appointment, and ask whether the practice bills the insurer directly.
For anything beyond an exam and clean, ask for a written estimate that lists procedure codes, the full fee and your expected share. If you are quoted a range, ask what decides which end of it you land on.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 42 Culver Garden listings has a published website or published hours in the record, and none has been claimed by its owner. When a practice claims its listing it can add those details, which is why claimed listings are more useful.
If it is urgent
For a cracked tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call along W Washington Blvd early in the day. With 39 general dentists on one corridor, working down the list is quick, and being able to arrive within twenty minutes makes it easier for an office to slot you into a cancellation.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go straight to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is getting hard, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop. Those signs mean an infection or bleed that a dental office is not equipped to treat.
If nothing on the boulevard can see you, search outward by distance at dentist directory.
