Twenty-six listings are recorded as general dentistry. The directory also lists eight pediatric dentists, five oral and maxillofacial surgeons, five dental clinics, four orthodontists, three endodontists, three periodontists, one prosthodontist, one dental anesthesiology listing and one oral pathology listing here. That is a specialist heavy mix.
What is listed in Ridgeview Forest
One road dominates. Peachtree Dunwoody Rd NE has 18 listings, Peachtree Dunwoody Rd has 14 and Peachtree Dunwoody Road has 2, which are three recorded forms of the same street and 34 practices between them. Meridian Mark Rd has 8 and Johnson Ferry Rd NE has 4.
Two ZIP codes cover the neighborhood, 30342 and 30328. Thirty-six listings are registered to individual practitioners and 15 to organizations. Thirty-one have been on the register since before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2006, so most of these addresses have a long track record.
- Peachtree Dunwoody Rd and its recorded variants: 34 practices

- ZIP codes covered: 30342 and 30328
Choosing between them
Only about half the listings here are general dentistry, which is unusual. If you are looking for a regular dentist for checkups and cleanings, work from the 26 general listings and treat the rest as referral destinations rather than starting points. Ask each whether they are accepting new patients and whether they are in network with your plan.
For families, eight pediatric dentistry listings is a strong showing and means you can choose rather than take whoever has a slot. If your child needs treatment under sedation, the presence of a dental anesthesiology listing in the same neighborhood is worth asking about, since that kind of care is usually arranged between practices rather than found directly.
Specialists are here already
Our data records no specialty as missing from Ridgeview Forest. Oral and maxillofacial surgery has five listings, orthodontics four, endodontics three, periodontics three and prosthodontics one, alongside the eight pediatric practices. A referral from a general dentist here can usually be to another practice on the same road, which shortens both travel and waiting.
If a specific practice has no availability, the nearest neighborhoods add more. Hammond lists 53 practices at 1.7 miles, the largest pool close by. Misty Ridge has 14 and Valley View 4, both at 1.8 miles, Trailridge 6 at 2.0 miles, Forestdale Estates 15 at 2.2 miles and Hidden Branches 4 at 2.8 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network is the difference that moves your bill most. In network means your insurer has agreed the fee schedule in advance. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan reimburses a share, or nothing. In a specialist heavy area this matters more, because specialist fees are higher to begin with.
For anything beyond an exam and clean, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes, the total and your expected share. Where a general dentist and a specialist are both treating you, ask each for their own figure.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 51 Ridgeview Forest listings has a published website or published hours in the record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is the only way a practice can publish those details here.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that will not settle, call the general practices on Peachtree Dunwoody Rd at opening time and say plainly that it is urgent. With five dental clinics in the neighborhood as well, there are several places with more than one chair, which usually means more room to fit an emergency in.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is getting difficult, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.

Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Ridgeview Forest?
Fifty-one practices, from an Atlanta total of 1,081. Twenty-six are recorded as general dentistry, and the directory also lists eight pediatric dentists, five oral and maxillofacial surgeons, five dental clinics, four orthodontists, three endodontists, three periodontists and three further specialist listings, across ZIP codes 30342 and 30328.
Is this a good area for children's dentistry?
Yes, by the numbers. Eight of the 51 listings are pediatric dentistry, which is a high proportion for any neighborhood. There is also a dental anesthesiology listing here, which is relevant if a child needs treatment under sedation. Ask the practice directly, since our registry does not record which services are offered.
Why do so many addresses look similar?
Because the same street is recorded three ways in the source data: Peachtree Dunwoody Rd NE with 18 listings, Peachtree Dunwoody Rd with 14 and Peachtree Dunwoody Road with 2. Together that is 34 of the 51 practices in the neighborhood on one road. Meridian Mark Rd carries another eight.
