Everything here comes from registration records. They are reliable for counts, disciplines, addresses and registration years, and empty on cost, hours and insurance. No practice in the Lloyd District has claimed its listing, so there is no published website or set of hours attached to any of the 45.
Forty-five practices inside a single ZIP code
Thirty-one of the 45 listings are general dentistry. Endodontics is unusually well represented with 6 practices, followed by 3 pediatric dentistry and 3 oral and maxillofacial surgery. Orthodontics, periodontics and dental clinics have one listing each.
The street pattern is concentrated. NE Multnomah St carries 18 listings and NE Grand Ave 14. Five more are addressed at Lloyd Ctr, while NE Broadway St and NE 2nd Ave have 2 apiece. The whole neighborhood sits within ZIP code 97232.
This is overwhelmingly a neighborhood of individual practitioners: 38 of the 45, against 7 organizations. Thirty-four were registered before 2010 and the earliest registration dates from 2005, so three quarters of these listings have been on file for well over a decade.
Choosing between 31 general dentists on two streets
Routine care is the easy case here. With 31 general practices, most of them on NE Multnomah St or NE Grand Ave, you can compare several without changing which direction you travel. Availability and insurance will usually settle it.
The specialty picture is lopsided. Six endodontics listings means root canal treatment is straightforward to arrange locally, which is not common. Orthodontics and periodontics, though, have a single listing each, so for braces or gum treatment you are effectively choosing between one local practice and whatever is nearby.
Given that 38 of the 45 are individual practitioners, ask who would treat you if your dentist is away, and where urgent patients are sent outside normal hours. Small practices vary a great deal in how they handle both.
What is missing, and how close the alternatives sit
Prosthodontics is the one discipline with no Lloyd District listing. For dentures, bridges and implant restorations, the nearest practices are elsewhere in Portland, roughly 1.1 miles away, where 20 are recorded. That is a short distance by any measure.
Periodontics and orthodontics deserve the same treatment, even though each has a listing here, because one practice is not much of a choice. Sullivan's Gulch is 1.0 miles away with 24 practices and Eliot is 0.8 miles out with 14, so widening the search barely costs you anything in travel.
The other neighbors are smaller. Buckman has 5 practices at 0.9 miles, Old Town 5 at 1.0 miles, Chinatown 4 at 1.1 miles and Albina 3 at 1.1 miles. Everything worth calling sits inside a mile and a bit.
Insurance, and why claimed listings matter here
Confirm in network status with the practice directly, using the exact name of your plan. Two plans from the same insurer can be treated differently, and a practice that was in network last year may not be this year. Out of network care is not automatically expensive, but what you pay is far less predictable.
It is worth being blunt about what these pages contain. The registry holds no fees, no hours and no insurance information. It records registration, discipline and address, and stops there. Claimed listings matter because claiming is the only way a practice can add hours, a website and the plans it accepts, and none of the 45 here has.
For treatment beyond a checkup and a cleaning, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes before you agree to anything, and ask your plan for a pre-treatment estimate so you know your share in advance.
Urgent problems inside ZIP code 97232
If you need to be seen today, phone several practices and describe the problem clearly. With 18 listings on NE Multnomah St and 14 on NE Grand Ave, a handful of calls covers much of the neighborhood, and the 6 endodontics practices are worth trying if the pain is likely to be a root canal. You can also sort listings by distance at dentist directory.
Four symptoms mean the emergency room rather than a dental office: swelling spreading to the eye or neck, trouble breathing or swallowing, fever with facial swelling, and bleeding that will not stop. Those are signs of a problem moving beyond the tooth itself.
For a knocked out adult tooth, hold it by the crown, keep it in milk, and try to be seen within the hour. If a filling falls out and the tooth does not hurt, normal opening hours are soon enough.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are in the Lloyd District?
Forty-five dental practices are listed with a Lloyd District address, out of 1,243 across Portland. Thirty-one are general dentistry, 6 are endodontics, 3 are pediatric dentistry and 3 are oral and maxillofacial surgery, with one listing each for orthodontics, periodontics and dental clinics. All of them fall inside ZIP code 97232.
Where can I get a root canal in the Lloyd District?
This is one of the better covered neighborhoods for that. Six endodontics practices are listed here, alongside 31 general dentists, many of whom carry out straightforward root canal work themselves. Ask your own dentist first, since a referral is usually reserved for difficult teeth, retreatment, or cases where the tooth is hard to reach.
Is there a prosthodontist in the Lloyd District?
No. Prosthodontics is the single discipline with no listing in the neighborhood. The nearest practices are elsewhere in Portland, about 1.1 miles away, where 20 are recorded. For dentures, bridges or an implant crown, ask your general dentist whether they do that work in house before you look for a specialist.
