Augusta has 377 listed practices in total. This guide covers only what the registry records inside Oglethorpe Homes: the counts, the streets, the ZIP codes and the registration history, plus a plain statement of what our data does not include.
What is listed in Oglethorpe Homes
Forty one of the 58 practices list general dentistry. The specialist listings cover seven in pediatric dentistry, four in prosthodontics, three in oral and maxillofacial surgery, two in periodontics, two in endodontics and one in orthodontics, with one entry recorded as a dental clinic.
Laney Walker Blvd holds 30 practices. 15th St has 12, Central Ave six, Druid Park Ave four and Walton Way three. The addresses fall in two ZIP codes, 30912 and 30904.
The registration split is striking. Fifty five of the 58 are registered as individual practitioners and only three as organizations, which is one of the highest shares of individual registrations you will see. Forty two of the 58 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2006.

How to choose between them
Because almost every listing here is registered to a named person rather than a company, you are usually choosing a specific clinician. Ask who you would see, how soon a new patient can be booked, and what the practice does in house versus refers out.
The seven pediatric dentistry listings stand out. For a neighborhood of 58 practices, that is real depth for families, so you can compare on waiting times and network status rather than taking whatever is available.
Registration age gives you a sense of how settled a practice is, not how good it is. Forty two of these listings predate 2010. Treat that as background when you are weighing two otherwise similar options.
If you need something Oglethorpe Homes does not have
No specialty is missing from the neighborhood, which puts Oglethorpe Homes in a small minority. The practical limit is depth. Orthodontics has a single listing, and periodontics and endodontics have two each, so one unavailable practice can change your options quickly.
The nearest alternatives are modest in size. Broad Street Historic District has five practices 1.1 miles away and King Estates 28 at 1.8 miles. Windsor Forest has four at two miles, Highland Park seven at 2.6 miles, Windsor Court three at 3.2 miles and Berckman Hills three at 3.4 miles.
If you need a specialist and the local option cannot see you soon, King Estates is the largest nearby pool at under two miles.
Insurance and paying
The most important question before any treatment is whether the practice is in network with your plan. In network fees are agreed with your insurer in advance. Out of network, the practice sets its own fee and your share is usually larger. Ask the office, then confirm with your insurer, since plans differ within the same company.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate showing the procedure codes, the practice fee, the expected insurance payment and your balance. That document is what makes two quotes comparable and protects you from surprises.
Our listings hold registration information only: who is registered, at what address, under what specialty and since when. They contain no fees, no opening hours and no insurance networks. None of the 58 Oglethorpe Homes practices has claimed its listing or published a website or hours with us.
If it is urgent
For a cracked tooth, a lost filling or pain that will not settle, call early in the day and ask directly whether the practice keeps same day appointments. With 41 general listings inside the neighborhood, most of them on two streets, working down a list is realistic.
Some symptoms mean an emergency room, not a dental office. 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 will not stop. Those point to an infection or bleed that needs medical treatment first.
If you would rather search outward from your own address than browse by neighborhood, dentist directory ranks practices by distance.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Oglethorpe Homes?
The directory lists 58 dental practices in Oglethorpe Homes, across ZIP codes 30912 and 30904. Forty one list general dentistry, seven list pediatric dentistry, four list prosthodontics and three list oral and maxillofacial surgery, with smaller numbers in periodontics, endodontics and orthodontics. Thirty of the 58 are on Laney Walker Blvd.
Is Oglethorpe Homes a good place to find a dentist for children?
On the numbers it compares well. Seven of the 58 listed practices carry a pediatric dentistry listing, which is more depth than most neighborhoods of this size offer. That means you can ask about waiting times, network status and how a practice handles anxious children instead of accepting the first appointment you are offered.
Why are so few Oglethorpe Homes listings registered as organizations?
Fifty five of the 58 practices are registered as individual practitioners and only three as organizations. The registry records how each provider chose to register, so this simply reflects that pattern here. For patients it usually means you are booking with a named clinician rather than a company, though you should still ask who you will actually see.
