They spread across five roads rather than crowding onto one, and three specialties have no listing in the neighborhood, though two of those gaps are closed by practices just outside its boundary.
What is listed in The Colony
27 of the 38 listings are tagged general dentistry. The remaining tags are 4 orthodontics, 4 pediatric dentistry, 3 dental clinic and 1 periodontics. A listing can carry more than one tag, so the numbers overlap slightly.
The addresses are more spread out than in most neighborhoods this size. Middlebrook Rd has 11 listings, Century Blvd has 9, Germantown Rd has 7, Crystal Rock Dr has 4 and Amaranth Dr has 3. That is worth knowing if you are choosing on convenience, because there is no single street to work down.
25 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 13 as organizations. 24 of the 38 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration in The Colony dates to 2006, so most have been on file a long time.

How to choose between them
With 27 general dentistry listings across five roads, geography does some of the sorting for you here. Work out which road you pass most often, then call the practices on it and ask how soon a new patient can be seen and what the first visit includes.
For families, 4 pediatric dentistry listings and 4 orthodontics listings give you a starting point without leaving the neighborhood. Ask whether the practice treats adults as well, since keeping the household in one place saves a lot of scheduling.
For anything more involved, ask what the practice does in house. With only 1 periodontics listing and no endodontics or oral surgery listings here, referrals are part of the picture, and the answer to where they refer is worth having before you register rather than after.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Three specialties are absent. Endodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery both have their nearest listings elsewhere in Germantown, about 0.1 miles from the neighborhood edge, with 2 and 6 practices respectively. That is close enough that the gap is technical rather than practical. Prosthodontics is a longer trip, with the nearest listing in Montgomery Village about 3.1 miles away, and it is a single practice.
For general choice, North Germantown is the obvious neighbor, 0.5 miles away with 46 listings, more than The Colony holds itself. Meadowbrook Estates has 9 at 1.1 miles and Middlebrook has 5 at the same distance. Liberty Heights, Old Germantown and Clopper's Mill each have 4, at 0.7, 1.6 and 2.3 miles.
- North Germantown, 0.5 miles, 46 practices

- Meadowbrook Estates, 1.1 miles, 9 practices
- Middlebrook, 1.1 miles, 5 practices
- Old Germantown, 1.6 miles, 4 practices
- Clopper's Mill, 2.3 miles, 4 practices
Insurance and paying
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. It records who is registered to practice and at what address. None of the 38 listings in The Colony has published hours or a website with us, and none has been claimed by its owner, so cost questions go directly to the practice.
Ask whether they are in network with your specific plan, not just whether they accept your insurer. In network normally means a rate agreed in advance. Out of network can still be workable if your plan pays a share, but you carry more of the bill.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes on it, and check the network question separately with any specialist you are referred to.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices on Middlebrook Rd, Century Blvd and Germantown Rd and ask outright whether they hold same day emergency slots. With 27 general listings in the neighborhood and 46 more in North Germantown half a mile away, a run of calls usually finds something.
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 you have trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
To search by distance instead of by neighborhood, dentist directory orders practices by how far they are from you.
