Two things stand out. Twenty eight of the listings are pediatric dentists, an extraordinary concentration, and 73 of the 76 are registered to individual practitioners rather than organizations. This is not the profile of an ordinary residential neighborhood.
What is listed in Pill Hill
Forty one of the 76 listings are general dentists and 28 are pediatric dentists. There are also 13 oral and maxillofacial surgeons, 2 orthodontists, 1 prosthodontist and 1 dental anesthesiologist.

How to choose between them
If you are looking for a dentist for a child, this is one of the deepest concentrations you will find. Twenty eight pediatric listings means you can ask about age ranges, sedation options and emergency cover rather than accepting the first practice with space.
For adults, 41 general dentistry listings is a solid field. Most of them are on Burnet Ave, so a short run of calls covers a lot. Ask when a new patient can be seen, whether your exact plan is in network, and what a first exam with x rays costs.
With 73 of the 76 registered to individuals, many of these listings will be named clinicians rather than standalone practices. When you call, ask directly how appointments are booked at that address and who you would actually see.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Two specialties have no listing in Pill Hill: endodontics and periodontics. Both are available elsewhere in Cincinnati, about 3.6 miles away, where 21 periodontists and 17 endodontists are listed. That is a real trip but a wide choice at the other end.
Orthodontics is present but thin, with 2 listings, and prosthodontics has one. If braces or denture work is likely, ask your general dentist where else they refer.
Nearby neighborhoods are small. Corryville has 14 listed practices about nine tenths of a mile away, Clifton has 8 at 1.1 miles and Avondale has 6 at six tenths of a mile. Peebles Corner has 4 at nine tenths, and Walnut Hills and Over-the-Rhine Historic District each have 3, at 1.3 and 1.8 miles.
Insurance and paying
Our listings come from public registration data, which holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 76 practices here has published any of that with us, so this page can identify who is registered where and nothing more.
Ask whether the practice is in network with your specific plan rather than with the insurer generally. For children's treatment, check whether your plan covers dental separately from medical, since pediatric dental benefits are often handled differently.
For anything beyond a routine exam, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes before it starts and send it to your insurer for a written answer. Practices that claim their listing on this site can publish hours, prices and insurance participation themselves, which is the only way that detail reaches this page.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that will not settle, call the general dentistry listings on Burnet Ave first, then Piedmont Ave and Goodman St. Say clearly that you are in pain and can come immediately, since same day appointments usually come from cancellations.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dental appointment. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you are struggling to breathe or swallow, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If nothing here can see you, search by distance at dentist directory, which will rank the rest of Cincinnati's listings by how close they are to you.
