Evergreen is a general dentistry neighborhood in the fullest sense, and this guide sets out what that means in practice. Every number and place name below comes from the registry.
What is listed in Evergreen
36 of the 37 practices list general dentistry. The only other categories present are a single oral and maxillofacial surgery practice and a single orthodontic practice. There is no pediatric dentist, endodontist, periodontist or prosthodontist with an address in the neighborhood.
The practices sit on a few main roads. S White Rd has 18, San Felipe Rd has 9 with one more recorded as San Felipe Road, and Aborn Rd has 5. Thompson Creek Ct has 1. Between those three roads you have 33 of the 37 listings.
Ownership runs 29 individual practitioners to 8 organizations, so most listings are in a named dentist's own name. That usually means continuity of who treats you, and it is often the reason a small practice books up further ahead than a larger group does.
26 of the 37 were registered before 2010 and the oldest registration in Evergreen dates to 2005. Around seven in ten of these addresses have been in use for fifteen years or more.

How to choose between them
When almost every listing is a general dentist, the choice comes down to routine care and referral habits. Ask whether they are taking new patients, whether they take your specific plan rather than just your insurer, and how far ahead the first appointment is. Small owner run practices vary widely on that last point.
The second question is what they do themselves. Some general dentists carry out simple root canals, straightforward extractions, gum treatment or clear aligner cases in house. Others refer all of it. Since only two specialist practices are listed in the whole neighborhood, knowing the answer tells you how much driving a full course of treatment will involve.
If you need something Evergreen does not have
Four specialties have no Evergreen listing. Pediatric dentistry, endodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics all have their nearest listings elsewhere in San Jose, about 4.9 miles away, where we record 36 pediatric practices, 30 endodontic, 33 periodontic and 10 prosthodontic.
Closer to home, Meadowfair is 1.7 miles away and lists 101 practices, far more than Evergreen itself. Seven Trees is 3.0 miles with 33, Alum Rock is 4.3 miles with 52, Little Saigon is 3.9 miles with 21, Edenvale is 3.8 miles with 4 and Silver Creek is 2.0 miles with 3. If your own dentist cannot fit you in, Meadowfair is the obvious next stop.
Insurance and paying
In network means the practice has agreed to your insurer's fee schedule and charges those rates. Out of network does not prevent treatment, it just usually costs more and may involve a claim you file yourself. It is not a quality rating, and a practice can be in network for one plan and outside another sold by the same insurer.
For anything beyond a check up and clean, ask for a written estimate showing the procedure codes, the fee, the expected plan payment and your share, and ask what your annual maximum is and how much is left. Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information for any of these 37 practices, and none of them have claimed their listing or published hours with us. Until they do, only the office can answer those questions.
If it is urgent
Call early and be direct about the problem: a broken tooth, a filling that has come out, or pain that stopped you sleeping. Most practices keep some room for emergencies and release it first thing. With 36 general practices in Evergreen and 101 more in Meadowfair less than two miles away, working through a list of numbers is a reasonable plan.
Certain symptoms belong in an emergency room rather than a dental chair: swelling spreading toward your eye or down your neck, trouble breathing or swallowing, fever with facial swelling, or bleeding that will not stop after an extraction. To search by distance instead of by neighborhood, use dentist directory.
