What is listed in Faubourg St. John
The concentration is extreme. Florida Ave carries 122 listings, with 7 more recorded as Florida Avenue and 1 as Florida Ave. with a period, which is 130 of the 143 on one street. N Carrollton Ave has 3 and N Broad St has 2. Louisiana State University's dental school is on Florida Ave, and a very large share of these registrations are individual dentists at that address rather than separate storefront practices.
One ZIP code, 70119, covers the neighborhood. One hundred and thirty-six listings are registered to individual practitioners and only 7 to organizations. Forty-eight have been on the register since before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2006, so many of these are relatively recent registrations.

Choosing between them
Read this neighborhood's numbers carefully before assuming 143 walk in options. When 136 of 143 listings are individual practitioners at a handful of addresses, many entries represent a registered dentist rather than a separate front door. Always call before traveling, and confirm that the practice sees members of the public and is taking new patients.
For a regular dentist, start from the 80 general dentistry listings. Ask whether they are accepting new patients, whether they are in network with your plan, and how soon an exam and a cleaning can be booked. If you are looking for teaching clinic style care, ask directly what the arrangement is at the address you are calling.
Specialists and where else to look
Our data records no specialty as missing from Faubourg St. John. Periodontics has 18 listings, prosthodontics 15, endodontics 9, oral and maxillofacial surgery 6, orthodontics 6 and pediatric dentistry 5, with oral pathology, oral radiology, orofacial pain, dental anesthesiology and dental public health also represented. Very few neighborhoods anywhere cover that much ground.
If you would rather use a neighborhood practice, Mid-City lists 25 practices at 1.6 miles and Gentilly Terrace 15 at 1.7 miles. Tremé has 3 at 1.9 miles, Lakeshore 14 at 2.3 miles, Hollygrove 14 at 2.5 miles and Broadmoor 3 at 2.6 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network means your insurer has agreed the fee in advance and you pay the agreed share. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan reimburses part of it, or none. Ask which applies before treatment begins, and ask whether the claim is filed for you.
For anything beyond an exam and clean, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes, the total and your expected share. Where care is delivered across several appointments or by more than one clinician, ask for the whole course to be quoted, not just the first visit.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 143 listings in this neighborhood has a published website or published hours in the record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming is the only route by which a practice can publish those details here.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call rather than turn up, given how many of these listings share addresses. Start with the general dentistry listings and with the nearby neighborhoods if you need a conventional practice, since Mid-City is only 1.6 miles away with 25 more options.
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 becoming difficult, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.

Questions patients ask
Why are there 143 dentists listed in one small neighborhood?
Because 130 of the 143 listings share one street, Florida Ave, and 136 of the 143 are registered to individual practitioners rather than organizations. Louisiana State University's dental school is on that street. In practice this means many entries are individually registered dentists at shared addresses, not 143 separate storefronts, so always call ahead.
Can I get specialist treatment in Faubourg St. John?
The range on paper is very wide. Our data records no specialty as missing, with 18 periodontics listings, 15 prosthodontics, 9 endodontics, 6 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 6 orthodontics and 5 pediatric dentistry, plus oral pathology, oral radiology and orofacial pain.
