Nineteen of the 30 are recorded as general dentistry. The directory also lists five orthodontists, five oral and maxillofacial surgeons, one pediatric dentist and one dental clinic here. Having both orthodontics and oral surgery locally is more than most neighborhoods of this size manage.

Choosing between them
Nineteen general dentists is a reasonable pool for routine care, and with everything on two main avenues you can shortlist by convenience first. After that, the questions worth asking are whether the practice is in network with your plan, how far ahead exams and cleanings are booked, and who you see if your usual dentist is away.
The five oral and maxillofacial surgery listings are the notable feature. Oral surgeons handle wisdom teeth, difficult extractions, implant placement and jaw problems. Having five in one neighborhood means a referral rarely needs to leave the area, which also makes follow up appointments after surgery much easier. Five orthodontists give the same advantage for braces and aligners.
What is not here
Three specialties have no listing in the neighborhood, and conveniently they all point the same way. Endodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics are each nearest in Thornton, 2.2 miles away, which lists 7 endodontic, 4 periodontic and 2 prosthodontic practices. A root canal, gum surgery or denture work therefore means a short drive rather than a real journey.
Nearby neighborhoods add less than the distances suggest. Cedar Bridge has 3 practices at 1.7 miles and Bradburn 3 at 2.3 miles. The larger pools are further out: Northridge Manor lists 21 practices at 5.0 miles and Flatiron Crossing 8 at 7.3 miles. In practice, the 30 listings here plus Thornton cover most needs.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network is the split that decides most bills. In network means the fee was agreed with your insurer before you sat down. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan pays a share, or nothing. Ask at the point of booking rather than at the counter afterward.
For treatment beyond an exam and clean, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes, the total and your expected share. Surgical and orthodontic work in particular should be quoted in full, including any follow up visits that are billed separately.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 30 listings here has a published website or published hours in the record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice adds those details, which is why claimed listings are worth more to a patient.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that keeps you awake, call the W 120th Ave practices first thing, then W 124th Ave. Nineteen general dentists in one ZIP code means a handful of calls covers most of the neighborhood. If the problem is a wisdom tooth or a failed extraction site, the five oral surgery listings here are the right first call.
Some symptoms mean an emergency room, not a dental chair. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is becoming difficult, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If nothing local can see you, search by distance at dentist directory and work outward.
