Almost all of them are on two avenues, and three specialties have no listing here. This guide sets out what the registry records and how far the gaps are.
What is listed in Superior Heights
28 of the 36 listings are tagged general dentistry. The rest are 5 dental clinic, 3 endodontics, 1 pediatric dentistry and 1 oral and maxillofacial surgery. A listing can carry more than one tag, so the totals overlap slightly.
Three endodontics listings is decent coverage for root canal treatment in a neighborhood this size. Children's dentistry and oral surgery each have a single listing.
The addresses split neatly between two roads. Superior Ave has 17 listings, with 1 more recorded with a trailing comma, and Placentia Ave has 16, with 1 more filed as Placenita Ave, which is the same street misspelled in the source data. Cagney Ln has 1. 22 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 14 as organizations. 22 of the 36 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2006.

- 22 registered before 2010, oldest registration 2006
How to choose between them
With 28 general dentistry listings on two roads, choosing here comes down to availability and fit. Call two or three, ask when a new patient exam is free, what it includes and what it costs.
Ask what the practice does in house. Because periodontics, prosthodontics and orthodontics all have no listing in the neighborhood, a general dentist here will be referring that work out, and knowing where before you register saves an unwelcome surprise later.
For root canals you are better placed, with 3 endodontics listings locally. For a child, there is one pediatric dentistry listing, so ask general practices whether they see children as well.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Three specialties are missing. For periodontics and prosthodontics, our nearest listings are elsewhere in Newport Beach, about 2.5 miles away, with 11 and 8 practices. Orthodontics is a longer trip: the nearest listings we hold are in Fountain Valley, about 5.8 miles away, where there are 19 practices.
For general choice, Cliff Haven is 1.4 miles away with 37 listings, slightly more than Superior Heights itself, and Granville has 34 at 3.5 miles. Harbor Heights is very close at 0.3 miles but holds only 5 listings. Eastbluff has 9 at 3.3 miles, while Balboa Island and Big Canyon have 4 each at 2.8 and 3.6 miles.
- Harbor Heights, 0.3 miles, 5 practices
- Cliff Haven, 1.4 miles, 37 practices
- Balboa Island, 2.8 miles, 4 practices
- Eastbluff, 3.3 miles, 9 practices
- Granville, 3.5 miles, 34 practices
- Big Canyon, 3.6 miles, 4 practices
Insurance and paying
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. It records who is registered to practice and at what address. None of the 36 Superior Heights listings has published hours or a website with us, and none has been claimed by its owner, so cost questions have to go to the practice.
Ask whether they are in network with your specific plan rather than with your insurer as a whole. In network normally means a rate agreed in advance. Out of network can still be workable if your plan pays a share, but you carry more of the bill.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes. Braces are worth asking about carefully, since the nearest orthodontics listings are several miles away and the cost is usually quoted as a full course.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices on Superior Ave and Placentia Ave and ask directly whether they hold same day emergency slots. With 28 general listings and 3 endodontics listings in one ZIP code, severe toothache is reasonably well covered here.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
To search by distance rather than by neighborhood, dentist directory orders practices by how far they are from where you are.
Questions patients ask

Is there an orthodontist in Superior Heights?
No listing here carries the orthodontics tag, and it is the furthest gap to fill. The nearest orthodontics listings we hold are in Fountain Valley, about 5.8 miles away, where there are 19 practices. Ask your general dentist which practice they usually refer braces cases to.
Which streets have the most dentists in Superior Heights?
