This guide reports only what the listings hold: counts, streets, ZIP codes, the split between individual practitioners and organizations, registration dates, and the distance to the nearest alternatives.
What is listed in Rose Garden
Thirty six of the 53 listings include general dentistry. Five are dental clinics, five list endodontics and five list pediatric dentistry. Two list oral and maxillofacial surgery, and there is one each for periodontics, orthodontics, oral pathology and prosthodontics. Practices can carry more than one specialty, so the numbers overlap.
Two streets carry most of the neighborhood. Forest Ave has 28 listings, with one more written as Forest Ave., and N Bascom Ave has 18. Park Ave adds three and The Alameda one. Rose Garden spans ZIP codes 95128 and 95126.
Forty one listings are individual practitioners and 12 are organizations. Thirty three were registered before 2010 and the oldest registration dates to 2005, so most of these practices have been established for a long time.
How to choose between them
Start by deciding whether you need general or specialist care, because the shape of the choice is very different. For routine dentistry you are picking among 36 listings, and for a root canal or a child's checkup you are picking among five each.
For general practices, the deciding factors are practical. Ask what a new patient exam with x-rays costs, how soon an existing patient in pain can be seen, and which treatments are handled in house rather than referred out.
Forty one of the 53 are individual practitioners, so most of these are small practices centered on one dentist. That usually gives continuity, but it also means fewer chairs. If short notice appointments matter to you, the 12 organizations are worth a look first.
Because Forest Ave and N Bascom Ave hold 47 listings between them, comparing several practices in one afternoon is realistic.
When you need something that is not here
No specialty is missing from Rose Garden in our data. Endodontics, pediatric dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontics, orthodontics, oral pathology and prosthodontics all appear.
Depth is a different question. Periodontics, orthodontics and prosthodontics each have one listing, and oral surgery two, so if you want a second opinion in any of those you will need to look outside the neighborhood.
Buena Vista is closest at 0.8 miles with 31 listings. Gardner is 2.0 miles away with 60, the largest nearby pool, and Fruitdale has 39 at 1.9 miles. Saint James Square Historic District has 17 at 2.3 miles, College Park has five at 1.2 miles and Newhall has three at 1.1 miles.
Insurance and paying
None of the 53 listings in Rose Garden has been claimed, and none publishes a website or opening hours through us. The register behind these entries records who a provider is and what they practice, and it carries no fees, no hours and no insurance information whatsoever. A claimed listing is how a practice gets those details onto the page, which is why the claimed ones are worth more to you.
For now, ask by phone. Name your plan in full rather than just the insurer, because a single insurer often runs several networks with different participating practices. Out of network practices commonly still submit the claim, but you pay the difference between their fee and what the plan allows.
Before any crown, implant or surgical work, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes on it. That is what makes a second quote a real comparison rather than a guess.
If it is urgent
Call at opening and describe the problem in one sentence. Forest Ave alone has 28 listings, so working down a short list is a practical way to find a same day slot.
Certain symptoms mean an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital immediately if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if breathing or swallowing has become difficult, if you have a fever along with facial swelling, or if bleeding from your mouth will not stop.
If the neighborhood is booked out, dentist directory searches by distance rather than by neighborhood, which will include Buena Vista, Fruitdale and Gardner in the same list of results.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Rose Garden, San Jose?
Fifty three practices. Thirty six include general dentistry, five list endodontics, five list pediatric dentistry and five are dental clinics. Forest Ave holds 28 of the listings and N Bascom Ave holds 18, so most of the neighborhood's dentistry sits on two streets.
Can I see a specialist without leaving Rose Garden?
In most cases yes. Endodontics, pediatric dentistry, oral surgery, periodontics, orthodontics, oral pathology and prosthodontics all have listings here. Several have only one or two, though, so for a choice of specialists look at Gardner, 2.0 miles away with 60 listings.
Which ZIP codes cover Rose Garden dentists?
Two, 95128 and 95126. If your insurer's directory searches by ZIP code, run both, because using only one will hide part of the neighborhood. Rose Garden sits roughly 3.9 miles from the center of San Jose. The listings are concentrated on Forest Ave and N Bascom Ave, which fall inside those two codes.
