This is one of the largest neighborhood lists in the directory, and it is extraordinarily concentrated: 89 of the 111 listings are on Elmwood Ave. Every main dental specialty is represented here, which is rare.
What is listed in Upper Mount Hope
Seventy-five of the 111 listings report general dentistry as their primary specialty. The specialist coverage is broad and deep: 15 in pediatric dentistry, 8 in periodontics, 8 in orthodontics, 6 in prosthodontics, 5 in oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2 in endodontics and 1 in oral pathology.
Fifteen pediatric listings in one neighborhood is a lot, and it means families have genuine choice locally rather than a single option.
Elmwood Ave carries 89 listings, with 3 more entered as Elmwood Avenue. W Henrietta Rd has 9, White Spruce Blvd 4 and Westfall Rd 3. One hundred and three of the 111 listings are registered to an individual practitioner and only 8 to an organization. Forty-five were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2005.
How to choose between them
With 75 general dentists listed, routine care is a matter of narrowing a long list. Distance will not do it for you when most addresses share a street, so use other filters: in network status with your plan, how far ahead they book, and whether the practice handles its own emergencies.
The specialist depth is the real advantage. If your dentist refers you for gum treatment, braces, implant restoration or a child's care, there is a good chance the specialist is nearby. For anything expensive, use that to get a second opinion locally.
Endodontics is comparatively thin with 2 listings, so if you need specialist root canal treatment, ask early about availability. Many general dentists carry out root canals themselves.
- For children, compare more than one of the 15 pediatric listings.
- Ask whether the practice is in network with your exact plan.
- Check the building and suite number, since Elmwood Ave holds most of the list.
If you need something Upper Mount Hope does not have
No main dental specialty is entirely missing from this neighborhood. Every category in our data has at least one listing, and most have several, so the practical constraint is availability rather than travel.
If you do want to widen the search, the nearest neighborhoods are much smaller. Mount Hope is 0.8 miles away with 3 listings and Highland Park 1.4 miles with 7. Home Acres has 34 at 1.7 miles, which is the largest nearby list. Bull's Head has 6 at 1.9 miles, Pearl-Meigs-Monroe 7 at 2.3 miles and Roselawn 10 at 2.9 miles. Rochester as a whole holds 639 practices.
Insurance and paying
Ask whether a practice is in network with your specific plan rather than just with your insurer. With this many practices in one place, comparing in network options is the most effective way to control what you pay.
For anything beyond an exam and cleaning, and especially for orthodontic or implant work, ask for a written estimate that lists each procedure code, the practice's fee, the expected insurance payment and your share. Ask before treatment begins.
Our listings come from the national provider registry, which records name, address and reported specialty only, with no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. In Upper Mount Hope, none of the 111 listings has a published website or published hours. That is why claimed listings matter: claiming a page is how a practice publishes what the registry never held.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a crown that has come off, or pain that is keeping you awake, call the general practices nearest you and ask specifically about same day emergency slots. With 75 general dentists listed and 92 of all listings on Elmwood Ave under its two spellings, you can work through a long run of numbers quickly.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to the ER if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you have any difficulty breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop under steady pressure.
If nothing here can see you, search by distance from where you are at dentist directory.
