Almost all of it is general practice, and unusually for a dense area, the listings are spread across several streets rather than piled onto one. Three specialties are missing, and all three are close by.
What is listed in Downtown Jersey City
Twenty six of the 31 listings are general dentists. Also listed are 2 oral and maxillofacial surgeons, 2 pediatric dentists and 1 prosthodontist.
No single street dominates. Montgomery St has 9 listings, and Grand St, Exchange Pl, Marin Blvd and Greene St have 3 each. The rest are scattered, so which practices are convenient depends a lot on where in the neighborhood you are.
Twenty one of the listings are individual practitioners and 10 are organizations. Fifteen have held their federal registration since before 2010, with the oldest dating to 2006, so this is a relatively evenly split mix of established and newer registrations. One listing has published a website with us and one has published hours. None has been claimed.

How to choose between them
Twenty six general dentists is enough choice for routine care, so use walking distance as your first filter and then compare properly. Ask each practice when a new patient can be seen, whether they are in network with your exact plan, and what a first exam with x rays costs.
Only one listing here has published hours with us, so do not assume anything about opening times. If you need early, late or weekend appointments, ask that question first, because it will eliminate a lot of options quickly.
The 2 pediatric dentists give families a local option, and the 2 oral and maxillofacial surgeons cover some surgical referrals. For everything else, expect to be referred out of the neighborhood.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Three specialties have no listing in Downtown Jersey City: orthodontics, endodontics and periodontics. All three are available elsewhere in Jersey City, about 1.2 miles away, with 16 orthodontists, 8 periodontists and 4 endodontists listed there.
That is a short trip for all three, so a referral is unlikely to be a major inconvenience. Ask your general dentist who they refer to and whether that practice takes your insurance before you make the appointment.
For more general options, McGinley Square has 54 listed practices about 1.7 miles away, Indian Square has 49 at the same distance and Hamilton Park has 38 at half a mile. The Heights has 33 at 2.4 miles, Hilltop has 25 at 1.4 miles and Newport has 13 at seven tenths of a mile.
Insurance and paying
Our listings are built from public registration data, which holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. In Downtown Jersey City only one listing has published a website with us and one has published hours, so for the other 30 you are starting with a name and an address.
Ask whether the practice is in network with your specific plan and not just with the insurance company. The same insurer often runs several plans and offices treat them differently.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes before treatment starts, and send it to your insurer for a written answer. Practices that claim their listing here can publish hours, prices and insurance participation themselves, which is why a claimed listing tells you far more than an unclaimed one.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that will not settle, start with the general practices on Montgomery St, then work through Grand St, Marin Blvd, Greene St and Exchange Pl. Because the listings are spread out, have several numbers ready and say on each call that you are in pain and can come immediately.
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 are having trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If the neighborhood is full, search by distance at dentist directory. Hamilton Park is half a mile away with another 38 listings.
