Almost all of those 33 share one avenue, and the surgical side is unusually well covered for a neighborhood this size. Everything below comes from the registry records, which hold counts, specialties, streets and ZIP codes but nothing on fees, hours or insurance.
What is listed in The Gates at North Hills
General dentistry is recorded against 26 listings. The specialty counts are 6 in oral and maxillofacial surgery, 3 in oral radiology, 3 in oral pathology, 2 in orthodontics and one in periodontics. Several practices hold more than one specialty registration, which is why those figures total 41 against 33 practices.
Six oral surgery listings among 33 practices is a high share. Oral radiology and oral pathology usually sit alongside surgical practice rather than being places you book directly.
Marcus Ave carries 27 of the 33 once the variant spelling is included. New Hyde Park Rd has 3, and Joseph St and Country Village Lane have one each. The neighborhood spans two ZIP codes, 11042 and 11040. Twenty-seven are registered as individual practitioners and 6 as organizations, and 20 have been registered since before 2010, with the earliest dating to 2005.

How to choose between them
When 27 practices share an avenue, distance is not a useful filter. What separates them is what they do and when they can see you.
For routine care the 26 general dentistry listings are your shortlist. For extractions, wisdom teeth or implant placement, the 6 oral surgery listings mean you can compare surgeons on waiting time and sedation options rather than accepting a single referral.
Everything else is thin. Orthodontics has 2 listings and periodontics has one, so check availability early if you need either. With 27 of the 33 registered as individual practitioners and 20 registered before 2010, most of these are small, long established practices where you will see the same dentist each visit.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Three specialties have no listing here: pediatric dentistry, endodontics and prosthodontics. All three are very close, about 0.4 miles away elsewhere in New Hyde Park, where the directory records 16 pediatric dentistry practices, 7 endodontics and 7 prosthodontics.
That is close enough to walk in most cases, so the absence is more a technicality of neighborhood boundaries than a practical problem. A referral from your general dentist will normally land you at one of those.
For more general dentists, Glen Oaks is 0.8 miles away and lists 64 practices, nearly twice what this neighborhood holds. The Ritz-Carlton Residences area is 0.8 miles away with 12, and The Links at North Hills is 0.7 miles away with 3.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network is what drives most of your bill. In network means the practice and your insurer have agreed rates and your share is known in advance. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and the plan covers part of it, or nothing.
Confirm network status with your insurer, then ask the practice for a written estimate before treatment starts. It should list the procedure codes, the fee for each, the expected insurance payment and your balance. For surgery this matters more than usual, since sedation and imaging are often billed separately.
Our listings come from public registry data. That registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information whatsoever. In The Gates at North Hills, none of the 33 practices has a published website or published hours on record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice adds what the registry never carried.
If it is urgent
For a cracked tooth, a lost filling or pain that painkillers are not touching, call the general dentists on Marcus Ave and ask outright for a same day appointment. Describe the symptom, because that is what practices use to decide who is seen first.
Some symptoms need a hospital emergency room instead of a dentist. Go there if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop after an extraction.
If nothing on Marcus Ave is free, search by distance at dentist directory and try Glen Oaks, 0.8 miles away with 64 listings.
