One thing stands out in the mix: oral and maxillofacial surgery is far better represented here than in most neighborhoods this size. Everything below comes from the registry records, which hold counts, specialties, streets and ZIP codes but nothing on fees, hours or insurance.
What is listed in Colonial Heights
Twenty listings are recorded under general dentistry. There are also 8 in oral and maxillofacial surgery, 3 dental clinics, 2 in pediatric dentistry, and one each in prosthodontics and periodontics. A couple of practices hold two registrations, so those counts total 35 against 33 practices.
Eight oral surgery listings in a neighborhood of 33 is a high proportion. It means wisdom teeth, surgical extractions, implant placement and jaw surgery can all be handled locally without a referral out of the area.
Patterson Rd carries the most practices, 15 under that spelling plus 3 recorded as Patterson Road and 2 as Patterson Rd., so 20 of the 33 sit on that one road. 25 Rd has 6 and F Rd has 5. Every listing falls inside ZIP code 81505. Twenty-one are registered as individual practitioners and 12 as organizations, and 22 have been registered since before 2010, with the earliest dating to 2005.
- 33 practices, 20 recorded as general dentistry
- 8 oral and maxillofacial surgery listings
- 20 of the 33 on Patterson Rd, across three spellings
- One ZIP code, 81505
How to choose between them
For routine care the 20 general dentists are the shortlist, and most of them are within a short distance of each other on Patterson Rd, 25 Rd and F Rd. That makes comparing straightforward.
The surgical depth changes the calculation if you need an extraction. In most neighborhoods you would take whichever oral surgeon your dentist names. Here you have 8 to choose between, so it is reasonable to ask about waiting times and about sedation options before you book.
Pediatric dentistry has 2 listings and periodontics and prosthodontics have one each. Those are thin but present. With 21 of the 33 registered as individual practitioners and 22 registered before 2010, this is a settled group of mostly small practices rather than a fast changing one.
If you need something Colonial Heights does not have
Two specialties are missing. Orthodontics has no listing here, with the nearest recorded elsewhere in Grand Junction about 1.2 miles away, where 13 practices appear. Endodontics is the same distance, with 7 practices listed. Neither is far, so braces and specialist root canal treatment are both realistic without a long trip.
For more general dentists, Westwood Estates is 1.6 miles away and lists 59 practices, nearly twice what Colonial Heights holds. It is the only nearby neighborhood in our records with its own listings, which makes it the obvious place to widen a search.
Ask your general dentist for a referral rather than picking a specialist cold. They will know who handles your particular problem and how long the wait is.
Insurance and paying
In network versus out of network is what drives the difference in cost. In network means agreed rates between the practice and your insurer, so your share is set in advance. Out of network means the practice charges its own fee and your plan covers part of it, or none.
Confirm network status with your insurer rather than assuming, then ask the practice for a written estimate. It should list the procedure codes, the fee for each, the expected plan payment and your balance. This matters most for surgical work, which tends to involve several separate charges.
Our listings are built from public registry data. That registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. In Colonial Heights, 3 of the 33 practices have a published website and 3 have published hours on record, but none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice adds the rest, which is why claimed listings are more useful than unclaimed ones.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that painkillers are not managing, call the nearest general dentists and ask for a same day appointment in plain terms. Describe the symptom, because that is what practices triage on.
Certain signs mean the hospital emergency room rather than a dental chair. Go there if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if breathing or swallowing has become difficult, if you have a fever together with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop after an extraction.
If nothing on Patterson Rd is available, search by distance at dentist directory or try Westwood Estates, 1.6 miles away with 59 listings.
