Twenty-eight of the 39 are recorded as general dentistry. The directory also lists five orthodontists, three periodontists, three dental clinics, one pediatric dentist and one endodontist here. For a small city that is a good range, but two specialties are missing entirely and they mean a long trip.
What is listed here
The listings are spread across several streets rather than one strip. West St has 11, Mill St has 7, Main St has 3, Central St has 3 and Washington St has 2. Because the district is compact, all of those are within a short distance of each other, so the spread matters less than it would in a larger city.
One ZIP code, 01453, covers the whole district. Twenty-four listings are registered to individual practitioners and 15 to organizations. Nineteen have been on the register since before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2006, so roughly half of these practices have a long history at their address.
- West St: 11 practices
- Mill St: 7 practices
- Main St and Central St: 3 each
- Washington St: 2 practices

Choosing between them
Twenty-eight general dentists in a district this size is generous, so you can afford to be selective. Ask whether the practice is accepting new patients, whether it is in network with your plan, how far ahead exams and cleanings are booked, and what the arrangement is for pain outside opening hours. Those four answers do most of the work.
Five orthodontists is a strong showing for a small city and means braces or aligner treatment, which involves many short appointments over a year or more, can stay local. Three periodontists means gum treatment can too. That is worth weighing against a practice slightly further away, because specialist referrals are easier when the specialist is close.
What is not here
Two specialties have no listing in the district, and both mean a real journey. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is nearest in Worcester, 18.0 miles away, where 18 practices are listed. Prosthodontics is also nearest in Worcester, with 3 practices. If you are facing wisdom tooth removal, implant placement or full denture work, plan for that distance and ask about follow up visits.
Locally there are only two other listed neighborhoods, both small. North Leominster has 15 practices at 0.9 miles and West Leominster has 9 at 1.0 miles. Together with the 39 here, that is most of what Leominster has to offer within an easy drive.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network is the biggest single influence on your bill. In network means your insurer has fixed the fee in advance. Out of network means the practice sets its own price and your plan reimburses part of it, or nothing. Ask when you book, and ask whether the practice files the claim for you.
For anything beyond an exam and clean, ask for a written estimate listing procedure codes, the total and your expected share. If you are being referred to Worcester for surgery, ask that practice directly for its own estimate, since the referring dentist does not set it.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 39 listings here has a published website or published hours in the record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is what allows a practice to publish those details.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that will not settle, call the West St and Mill St practices at opening time. With 28 general dentists and three dental clinics inside one ZIP code, a short round of calls covers almost the whole district. Say plainly that you are in pain and ask to be added to the cancellation list.
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 getting difficult, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If nothing local can see you, search outward by distance at dentist directory.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Monument Square Historic District?
Thirty-nine practices, all inside ZIP code 01453, from a Leominster total of 81. Twenty-eight are recorded as general dentistry, and the directory also lists five orthodontists, three periodontists, three dental clinics, one pediatric dentist and one endodontist. Twenty-four are registered to individuals and 15 to organizations.
Where do I go for wisdom teeth or an oral surgeon?
No oral and maxillofacial surgery practice is listed in the district or elsewhere in Leominster in our data. The nearest are in Worcester, about 18 miles away, where 18 are on the register. Prosthodontics is the same trip, with three listings there. Ask your general dentist to make the referral.
Can I get braces in Leominster?
Yes. Five orthodontic practices are listed in the Monument Square Historic District alone, out of 39 listings in total. That is a strong showing for a city of this size and it matters, because orthodontic treatment means regular short appointments over a year or more. Ask each for a written total cost.
