Everything below comes from the registry: counts by specialty, street addresses, the split between individual practitioners and organizations, and registration dates. It holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, so treat this as a way to narrow your options before calling.
What is listed in Aberdeen
20 of the 30 listings are general dentistry. The rest are a surprisingly varied set for a neighborhood this size: 4 prosthodontics, 3 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2 periodontics, 2 endodontics and 1 oral pathology, along with 4 dental clinics.
The addresses could hardly be simpler. Beacon St has 27 listings and 3 more are recorded as Beacon Street, which is the same road. Every listing in the neighborhood is on that one street, so comparing practices in person means a single walk.
18 of the 30 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 12 as organizations, a fairly even split between named dentists and group practices. 17 have been on the register since before 2010, and the oldest registration in Aberdeen dates to 2006.
How to choose between them
Because every practice is on Beacon St, location will not narrow your list at all. What will is availability, whether you prefer a solo dentist or a larger practice, and what each does in house. With 20 general dentistry listings and 4 dental clinics, routine care is well covered.
The specialist mix is useful. Four prosthodontics listings is high for 30 practices, so denture and crown and bridge work has local options. Endodontics and periodontics have two listings each and oral surgery has three, which means many referrals can stay on the same street.
Worth asking on a first call:
- Are you taking new patients, and how soon can I be seen?
- Do you do root canals and extractions here, or refer them?
- Do you see children, given there is no pediatric listing in the neighborhood?
- Whereabouts on Beacon St are you, and is there parking or is transit easier?
If you need something Aberdeen does not have
Two specialties are missing. Orthodontics and pediatric dentistry are both about 1.1 miles away elsewhere in Brookline, with 14 orthodontics practices and 19 pediatric practices recorded there. Neither trip is long, but if you are choosing a family dentist it is worth knowing that children's care is not on this street.
For general choice, the neighbors are close. Coolidge Corner has 65 listings about 1.2 miles away and Washington Square has 58 at 0.5 miles, both far larger pools than Aberdeen itself. Cleveland Circle has 4 listings just 0.1 miles away, JFK Crossing has 12 at 1.1 miles, Aspinwall Hill has 3 at 0.6 miles and Corey Hill has 3 at 0.9 miles.
Insurance and paying
None of the 30 Aberdeen listings has been claimed by its practice. One publishes a website through us and none publishes hours. The registry holds no fee information and no insurance participation for any listing anywhere, which is the honest limit of these pages. Claiming is the only way a practice can add its hours, services and accepted plans here.
So ask before you book. In network with your plan usually means agreed fees and a smaller share for you; out of network normally means paying more and sometimes filing your own claim. Ask for a written estimate before any treatment beyond an exam and x-rays, and check what happens to the estimate if the dentist finds more work once treatment starts.
If it is urgent
For a cracked tooth, a lost filling or pain that will not settle, call and ask directly for a same day emergency appointment. Since all 30 listings are on Beacon St, you can work through the entire neighborhood in one run of calls, and the local oral surgery and endodontics listings help if the problem needs more than a temporary fix.
Some symptoms belong in an emergency room, not a dental chair. Go straight there if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is difficult, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If Beacon St has nothing free, search by distance at dentist directory. Washington Square and Coolidge Corner add more than a hundred listings within about a mile.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are in Aberdeen, Brookline?
The registry lists 30 dental practices in Aberdeen, out of 312 across Brookline, all inside ZIP code 02445. 20 are general dentistry, with 4 prosthodontics, 3 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2 periodontics, 2 endodontics and 1 oral pathology listing, plus 4 dental clinics.
Are all the Aberdeen dentists on Beacon Street?
Yes. The registry records 27 listings on Beacon St and 3 more written as Beacon Street, which is the same road, so every practice in the neighborhood is on that one corridor. That makes comparing several in person easy, but it also means location will not help you narrow the list.
Is there a children's dentist in Aberdeen?
No. Pediatric dentistry has no listing in the neighborhood, and neither does orthodontics. Both are about 1.1 miles away elsewhere in Brookline, where 19 pediatric practices and 14 orthodontics practices are recorded. Some general dentists on Beacon St will see children, so it is worth asking directly.
