The mix has one clear feature: eight of the 33 listings are periodontics, which is a large share for a neighborhood this size. Portland has 247 listed practices in total, and several specialties missing from Rosemont are available less than a mile away.
What is listed in Rosemont
Twenty two of the 33 practices list general dentistry and eight list periodontics. One lists orthodontics, and five entries are recorded as dental clinics. Some practices carry more than one label, which is why the totals overlap.
Brighton Ave holds 24 listings, with two more under Brighton Avenue and one under a variant with a trailing comma, all the same street. Woodford St has five, with one further listing recorded as Woodford Street. The addresses fall in two ZIP codes, 04102 and 04103.
Twenty three practices are registered as individual practitioners and 10 as organizations. Eighteen of the 33 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration in Rosemont dates to 2006.

How to choose between them
For gum treatment, this is a strong neighborhood. Eight periodontics listings within a mile of the city center means you can compare on waiting time and network status instead of taking the only available option.
For routine care, work from the 22 general listings and ask what each practice completes itself. Root canals, extractions and dentures are not covered by any local specialist listing, so a general dentist who handles them in house will save you a separate trip.
Twenty three of the listings are registered to a named individual, which usually means the same dentist at each visit. The 10 organizations may have more clinicians and more appointment slots. Ask which arrangement you are booking into if it matters to you.
If you need something Rosemont does not have
Four specialties are missing here: pediatric dentistry, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and prosthodontics. All four are available elsewhere in Portland about 0.7 miles away, where the directory records seven pediatric practices, 12 endodontic practices, 10 oral surgery practices and 13 prosthodontic practices.
That is a short distance, which makes the gaps far less of a problem than they would be in a more isolated neighborhood. A referral should not mean rearranging your week.
Neighboring areas add more general options. Nasons Corner has three practices 0.5 miles away, Deering Center 10 at 0.6 miles, Bradleys Corner 20 at 0.9 miles, Stroudwater eight at one mile, and Morrills Corner 66 and Sagamore Village 13 at 1.1 miles.
Insurance and paying
Ask about network status before you book. An in network practice has agreed its fees with your insurer in advance. An out of network practice sets its own, and your share is usually higher even when the treatment is covered. Check with your insurer as well as the practice, because plans vary within the same company.
For anything beyond a checkup and clean, ask for a written estimate showing procedure codes, the practice fee, the expected insurance payment and what you owe. Periodontal treatment in particular can run over several appointments, so it is worth seeing the full plan and cost before you start.
Our listings hold registration details only: name, address, specialty and registration date. They record no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 33 Rosemont practices has claimed its listing or published a website or hours with us.
If it is urgent
Call early in the day and ask plainly whether a same day appointment is possible. With 22 general listings concentrated on Brighton Ave and Woodford St, and Morrills Corner adding 66 practices just over a mile away, there are plenty of numbers to try.
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 will not stop. Those point to an infection or bleed that needs medical care first.
If you would rather search by distance from your own address, dentist directory lists practices in order of how close they are.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Rosemont, Portland?
The directory lists 33 dental practices in Rosemont, across ZIP codes 04102 and 04103. Twenty two list general dentistry, eight list periodontics and one lists orthodontics, with five entries recorded as dental clinics. Twenty seven of the 33 give an address on Brighton Ave, counting the three spellings the registry holds for that street.
Where do I go for a root canal near Rosemont?
No Rosemont practice carries an endodontics listing, but many general dentists perform root canals themselves, so ask when you call. If you do need a specialist, the nearest endodontists are elsewhere in Portland about 0.7 miles away, where 12 practices are recorded. Oral surgery and prosthodontics are also missing locally at a similar distance.
Is Rosemont a good place to find a gum specialist?
Yes, on the numbers. Eight of the 33 listed practices carry a periodontics listing, which is a high proportion for a neighborhood this size. That gives you genuine choice for gum treatment, including the ability to compare waiting times and check which practices are in network with your plan before committing to a course of care.
