Tully Rd is the spine of it with 36 listings, followed by S King Rd with 15, Lexann Ave with 13, and Silver Creek Rd and Aborn Rd with seven each. Two ZIP codes cover the area, 95122 and 95121. This guide sticks to what the registry holds: counts, streets, registration dates and distances.
What is listed in Meadowfair
Beyond the 89 general dentistry listings there are six dental clinics, two orthodontics, two periodontics, one endodontics and one pediatric dentistry practice. That is a large amount of routine capacity and a very thin specialist layer, which is the pattern in most dense residential neighborhoods.
Sixty-three listings are registered as individual practitioners and 38 as organizations. Sixty-seven of the 101 were registered before 2010, with the oldest dating to 2005, so two thirds of the practices here have held their address for more than fifteen years. In a neighborhood this size that is a strong signal of stability.
Only one listing has a published website in the registry and none has published hours. That is a limit of the source data, not a description of the practices, but it does mean you should call rather than assume.

How to choose between them
With 89 general practices the risk is not scarcity but paralysis. Narrow by street first, since Tully Rd alone has 36 listings, then call three or four and compare the answers on new patients, insurance networks, the cost of a first exam with X-rays, and how soon they could see you.
Ask whether you will see the same dentist each visit. In an area with this many practices the difference between them is mostly in how they run, not in what they can do, and continuity of care is the thing most worth protecting.
Do not assume the specialist counts here give you a real choice. One endodontics and one pediatric listing means a single option each, so if you need either, ask about waiting times early and be ready to look at neighboring areas.
If you need something Meadowfair does not have
Two specialties have no listing at all. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is nearest elsewhere in San Jose, about 3.2 miles away, where 28 practices are registered. Prosthodontics is the same distance with 10 listings. Neither is far, and both are usually reached by referral from your general dentist.
For general care or a second opinion, Evergreen has 37 listings at 1.7 miles, Seven Trees 33 at 2.1 miles, Little Portugal 33 at 3.4 miles and Little Saigon 21 at 2.3 miles. Silver Creek has three at 3.1 miles and Spartan Keyes six at 3.3 miles. Between Meadowfair and its immediate neighbors there are well over 200 practices within three and a half miles.
Insurance and paying
In network means the practice has agreed set fees with your insurer, so your share of the bill is smaller and predictable. Out of network is about price rather than quality, and it can mean paying more or paying first and claiming back. Confirm with the insurer as well as the front desk, since network membership changes regularly.
For any treatment beyond an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate that lists each procedure with the expected plan payment and your share. Our listings come from registry data that holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, and none of the 101 listings here has been claimed. Claiming a listing is how a practice gets that detail published.
If it is urgent
With 89 general practices in one neighborhood, a same day appointment is a realistic goal. Call along Tully Rd and S King Rd, say clearly that it is an emergency and describe the symptom, since reserved emergency time is often not offered unless you ask for it.
Some problems belong in an emergency room, not a dental chair. Go straight there if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is difficult, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
You can also search by distance rather than by neighborhood at dentist directory, which is the quickest way to widen the search into Evergreen or Seven Trees.
