Forty listings are registered under general dentistry, with four orthodontics, three pediatric dentistry, and one each in prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics and dental clinic. Practices can hold more than one registration, so those numbers add to more than 49.
What is listed in Indian Square
The street counts read as 16 listings on John F Kennedy Blvd and 10 on Kennedy Blvd, which is the same road recorded two ways, plus nine on Journal Sq, four on Bergen Ave and two on Journal Square Plaza. Addresses appear exactly as each practice filed them, which is why the same place can show up under different names.
This is a routine care neighborhood. Forty general dentistry registrations means finding a dentist for check ups, cleanings and fillings is easy, while endodontics, prosthodontics and oral surgery each have a single listing, so specialist choice is thin.
Thirty-one listings are registered as individual practitioners and 18 as organizations. Twenty-nine of the 49 were registered before 2010 and the oldest registration dates to 2005, so about six in ten have held their address for over fifteen years. Two listings carry a published website and one publishes hours, which reflects the source data rather than the practices.
- 49 practices, 40 of them registered under general dentistry
- John F Kennedy Blvd: 26 listings across two recorded names
- One ZIP code, 07306
- 29 registered before 2010, the oldest in 2005
How to choose between them
With 40 general practices in a small area, you can afford to compare. Take three that are convenient and call them. Ask whether they are accepting new patients, which plans they are in network with, what a first exam and X-rays cost if your plan does not apply, and how soon they could see you.
Ask whether you will see the same dentist each visit. In a dense area where practices come and go, choosing one that has been registered at the same address since before 2010 is a reasonable way to shorten the list.
If you know you need a specialist, treat the single listings here as a starting point rather than a guarantee. One endodontics and one oral surgery practice can be booked out, and the alternatives are close by.
If you need something Indian Square does not have
Only periodontics is missing entirely. The nearest listings are elsewhere in Jersey City, about 0.6 miles away, where eight practices are registered, so gum treatment is a short trip.
The surrounding neighborhoods are close and well supplied. McGinley Square has 54 listings 0.7 miles away, which is more than Indian Square itself. Hamilton Park has 38 at 1.2 miles, The Heights 33 at 1.4 miles, Downtown Jersey City 31 at 1.7 miles, Hilltop 25 at just 0.3 miles and Newport 13 at 1.6 miles. Nothing useful is more than two miles away.
Insurance and paying
In network means the practice has agreed set fees with your insurer, so your share of each bill is lower and predictable. Out of network is about pricing rather than quality, and it can mean paying more or paying first and claiming back. Check with the insurer directly as well as the practice, because network lists change.
For any work beyond an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate that lists each procedure with the expected plan payment and your share. Our listings are built from registry data that holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, and none of the 49 listings in Indian Square has been claimed. Claiming a listing is how a practice publishes those details itself.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you up, call general practices on John F Kennedy Blvd and around Journal Sq and ask directly for a same day emergency slot. With 40 general listings within a few blocks, several calls take very little time.
Go to an emergency room rather than a dentist if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
If nothing here can see you, dentist directory lets you search by distance instead of by neighborhood, which picks up Hilltop and McGinley Square straight away.
