The specialist coverage is better than the size suggests: five periodontic listings, four orthodontic, three endodontic and three prosthodontic. Everything below is taken from the listings themselves.
What is listed in Beech Hill
Twenty six of the 43 listings include general dentistry. Five list periodontics, four orthodontics, three endodontics and three prosthodontics, with one each for oral and maxillofacial surgery, oral pathology and dental clinics. Practices can record more than one specialty, so these figures overlap.
The addresses are spread across several streets rather than gathered on one. Central Park Ave has ten listings, Overhill Rd seven, Garth Rd six, Popham Rd six and Harwood Ct five. The rest are on other addresses. Everything falls inside ZIP code 10583.
Thirty four listings are individual practitioners and nine are organizations, so this is largely a neighborhood of smaller practices. Twenty six of the 43 were registered before 2010 and the oldest registration dates to 2006.
How to choose between them
Decide first whether you need general or specialist care, because the two searches look different. For routine dentistry the pool is 26 listings, which is ample. For periodontics, orthodontics, endodontics or prosthodontics you have three to five options each, which is enough to choose rather than accept.
With 34 of the 43 registered as individual practitioners, most of these are small practices built around one dentist. That usually gives continuity, and it also means a single diary, so ask about cover during closures and how quickly a patient in pain gets seen.
Because the listings are spread across five or more streets rather than concentrated on one, a short list based on which is convenient to home or to the station is a reasonable starting filter.
When you need something that is not here
Pediatric dentistry is the one specialty with no listing in Beech Hill. Seventeen pediatric practices are listed elsewhere in Scarsdale, only about 0.4 miles away, so this barely counts as traveling and the choice is reasonably wide.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery has a single listing here, so if you are referred for wisdom teeth or a surgical extraction and want an alternative, you will be looking outside the neighborhood.
The nearby options are limited in number. Arthur Manor is 1.2 miles away with 27 listings and Cecil Park is 0.8 miles with three. Those are the only mapped neighborhoods adjacent to Beech Hill in our data, so a wider search means looking beyond named neighborhoods.
Insurance and paying
None of the 43 listings in Beech Hill has been claimed, and none publishes a website or opening hours through us. The registry these entries come from records who a provider is and what they practice. It carries no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, so this page cannot tell you who takes your plan. A claimed listing can, because the practice fills it in.
Until then, ask by phone and use the full name of your plan rather than just the insurer. One insurer often runs several networks with different participating practices, and the answer is different for each. An out of network practice may still submit your claim, but you carry the difference between their fee and the allowed amount.
For crowns, implants, braces or periodontal surgery, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes. Specialist treatment is where the gap between two quotes is usually widest, so it is worth getting a second one.
If it is urgent
Call at opening and say plainly that you need to be seen today. The listings here are spread across several streets, so if the first practice cannot help, the next one may be a few minutes in a different direction rather than next door.
Certain symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital straight away 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 from your mouth will not stop.
When you need whoever is nearest and open rather than whoever is inside the neighborhood boundary, dentist directory searches by distance instead.

Is there a children's dentist in Beech Hill?
Not in the neighborhood itself. Seventeen pediatric practices are listed elsewhere in Scarsdale, about 0.4 miles away, which is close enough that it hardly counts as traveling. That is a reasonably wide choice for a town of this size. Beech Hill itself has 43 listings, 26 of them general practices.
Can I see a specialist without leaving Beech Hill?
For most specialties, yes. Periodontics has five listings, orthodontics four, and endodontics and prosthodontics three each. Oral and maxillofacial surgery has only one, and pediatric dentistry none, so those two are the likely reasons to look elsewhere. All 43 listings fall inside ZIP code 10583, so none of them is far apart.
