Two things stand out: almost every listing is on the same avenue, and every specialty we track has at least one practice here. This guide sticks to the registry records, which hold counts, specialties, streets and the ZIP code but nothing on fees, hours or insurance.
What is listed in West Hill Historic District
Twenty-three listings are recorded under general dentistry. The specialty counts are 5 in pediatric dentistry, 5 in endodontics, 4 in periodontics, 2 in oral and maxillofacial surgery, and one each in prosthodontics and orthodontics. A few practices hold two registrations, so those figures total 41 against 38 practices.
That is a deep bench for 38 practices. Root canals, gum treatment and children's specialist dentistry all have four or five options apiece, which is more than many neighborhoods twice the size.
Farmington Ave carries almost everything: 31 listings under that spelling, plus 3 recorded as Farmington Avenue and one as Farmington Av, so 35 of the 38 sit on the same road. Boulevard has the other 3. All 38 fall inside ZIP code 06119. Thirty are registered as individual practitioners and 8 as organizations, and 30 have been registered since before 2010, with the earliest dating to 2006.

How to choose between them
Location will not separate these practices for you, since nearly all of them share one avenue. Start instead with whether you need a general dentist or a specialist, because both are well covered.
For routine care the 23 general dentists give plenty of choice. For specialist work, the numbers here mean you can compare rather than accept the first referral. Endodontics and pediatric dentistry have 5 listings each and periodontics has 4. Orthodontics and prosthodontics have one apiece, so those two are worth checking availability on early.
Thirty of the 38 are registered as individual practitioners, and the same number have been registered since before 2010. That combination points to a district of long standing independent practices rather than corporate ones. Expect to see the same dentist each visit at most of them.
If you need something this district does not have
Every specialty our directory tracks has at least one listing in the West Hill Historic District, so there is no category you must leave the area to find on paper.
The practical limits are the single listings. If the one orthodontist or the one prosthodontist cannot take you, or is not the right fit, you will need to look further afield than the immediate area.
Nearby options are sparse. Parkville Historic District is 1.1 miles away and lists 3 practices, and it is the only neighborhood in our records close enough to count as an easy alternative. West Hartford has 147 listings in total, so the rest of the town is where a wider search leads rather than any single adjacent neighborhood.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network is the distinction that decides most of your bill. In network means agreed rates between the practice and your insurer and a share you can predict. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan pays part of it, or nothing at all.
Confirm network status with your insurer, not only with the practice, then ask for a written estimate before treatment begins. It should list the procedure codes, the fee for each, the expected insurance payment and the balance you owe.
Our listings come from public registry data. That registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information for any practice. In this district, none of the 38 listings has a published website or published hours on record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice supplies the information the registry never carried.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that painkillers are not touching, call the general dentists nearest you and ask outright for a same day appointment. With most of them on Farmington Ave, working down the list takes very little time.
Some symptoms need a hospital emergency room rather than a dentist. 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 alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If nothing local is available, search by distance at dentist directory to see what is open further out across West Hartford.
