Fifteen of the 30, exactly half, were registered before 2010, and the earliest record here goes back to 2005. The registry stops short of anything operational, though. No Piedmont listing has been claimed by the practice that owns it, none publishes opening hours through us and none publishes a website, so timing, pricing and insurance all have to come from a call.
Where Piedmont's 30 practices are recorded
Park Ave carries the most listings, with 10. Queen St has 9, with a further 3 recorded under the fuller spelling Queen Street, which is the same road entered a second way in the public data. Southbridge St and Pleasant St each account for 3. Between Park Ave and Queen St you have well over half the neighborhood's dentistry.
The specialty mix is broader than 30 practices would usually support. General dentistry covers 22 listings. Orthodontics is strongly represented with 7, oral and maxillofacial surgery has 3, pediatric dentistry has 2 and oral pathology has 2. There is 1 listing each in periodontics and prosthodontics, and 1 recorded as a dental clinic. A practice can hold more than one specialty, so these overlap.
Two oral pathology listings is notable in a neighborhood this small, since that specialty is scarce outside major centers. Seven orthodontics listings means braces and aligners are well covered locally.
Which Piedmont practice fits your problem
Routine work goes to the 22 general dentistry listings, and with three ZIP codes in play it is worth checking which practices are actually on your side of the neighborhood. Park Ave and Queen St are the obvious starting points simply because they hold the most options.
If you need a specialist, Piedmont covers orthodontics and oral surgery locally but only thinly in periodontics and prosthodontics, where there is a single listing each. One listing means no local fallback if they are not taking patients, so ask your general dentist for a referral rather than working through the list yourself.
None of these 30 listings shows hours, so plan on phoning. Ask whether they are accepting new patients, how long the wait is, and whether the treatment you need is done in house or referred out.
- Orthodontics: 7 listings, the strongest specialty presence in Piedmont
- Periodontics and prosthodontics: 1 listing each, so no local fallback
- Endodontics: no listings in Piedmont
Root canals and the neighborhoods next door
Endodontics is the one specialty with no Piedmont listing at all. The nearest concentration is 0.8 miles away elsewhere in Worcester, where 25 endodontic practices are listed. That is close enough to walk in good weather, and 25 options is a wide field, so a root canal referral should not be hard to fill.
Neighboring districts add a lot of capacity within a mile. The Lincoln Estate-Elm Park Historic District has 54 listed practices at 0.5 miles, considerably more than Piedmont itself. Crown Hill has 22 at 0.6 miles, the Lower Pleasant Street District has 16 at 0.7 miles, Downtown has 15 at 0.9 miles and Morris Square has 14 at 1.0 mile. The Beaver Street Historic District adds 7 at 0.5 miles.
Costs, coverage and the limits of these pages
In network means the practice and your insurer have agreed prices in advance, and your share is worked out from those. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan pays what it considers reasonable, so you cover the gap. Check this against the specific plan you hold, because coverage can differ between plans from the same insurer.
For crowns, extractions, orthodontic work or anything else beyond routine care, ask for a written estimate itemized by procedure, with the practice's fee, the expected insurance contribution and your balance. You will not find any of it here, because the registry holds no fees, no hours and no insurance information, which is why claimed listings matter. Until a Piedmont practice claims its listing, our page shows only who is registered and where.
Getting seen quickly in Piedmont
If you need care today, call along Park Ave and Queen St first, since that is where the numbers are. Describe the symptom and ask specifically about emergency slots rather than the next routine opening. Should the neighborhood be full, dentist directory ranks practices by distance from you and quickly reaches Crown Hill, the Lower Pleasant Street District and the rest of Worcester.
There are symptoms that call for a hospital rather than a dentist. Go to an emergency room if you have swelling spreading to the eye or neck, trouble breathing or swallowing, fever with facial swelling, or bleeding that will not stop. Those signs mean the problem has moved beyond the tooth, and treatment should not wait for a dental appointment.
