Twenty-nine listings are recorded as general dentistry. The directory also lists seven orthodontists, three pediatric dentists, one oral and maxillofacial surgeon, one dental clinic and one dental public health listing. Seven orthodontists in a neighborhood of 41 is a notably high proportion.
What is listed in Four Corners
This is a single street neighborhood for dentistry. Lancaster Dr NE carries 39 listings, with one more recorded as Lancaster Dr. NE and one as Lancaster Dr., so all 41 practices sit on the same road under three recorded spellings. No other street appears at all in our data for this neighborhood.
One ZIP code, 97301, covers the area. Thirty-three listings are registered to individual practitioners and 8 to organizations. Twenty have been on the register since before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2005, so this is close to an even split between long standing practices and newer ones.
- Lancaster Dr NE, including all recorded spellings: 41 practices
- ZIP code covered: 97301
- 33 individual practitioner registrations against 8 organizations
- 20 practices registered before 2010
Choosing between them
Everything being on one road makes comparison unusually easy. You can drive its length, note which practices look right, and then call. Ask whether they are accepting new patients, whether they are in network with your plan, how far ahead exams and hygiene appointments are booked, and what the arrangement is for pain outside opening hours.
Seven orthodontists on the same street is a real advantage if you or a child are considering braces or aligners. Orthodontic treatment means many short appointments over a year or more, and being able to switch consultations without changing your route is worth something. Three pediatric dentists also give families a choice rather than one option.
What is not here
Three specialties have no listing in Four Corners, and all three point the same way. Endodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics are each nearest elsewhere in Salem, 2.1 miles away, which lists 15 endodontic practices, 8 periodontic practices and 2 prosthodontic practices. Root canals and gum treatment are well covered once you travel that short distance.
For more general choice, Oak Park lists 31 practices at 1.8 miles and Grant 27 at 2.6 miles. Hayesville has 4 at 3.2 miles, West Salem 24 at 3.6 miles, South Salem 28 at 3.9 miles and Liberty 29 at 4.7 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network is the difference that decides most bills. In network means your insurer has already agreed the fee. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan reimburses part of it, or none. Ask when you book, and ask whether the office files the claim for you.
For anything past an exam and clean, ask for a written estimate showing procedure codes, the total and your expected share. For orthodontic treatment, ask for the whole course to be quoted, with the payment schedule and the position if you move away mid treatment.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 41 Four Corners listings has a published website or published hours in the record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is the only way those details reach this page.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, work along Lancaster Dr NE from opening time. With 29 general dentists on one road, several calls take only a few minutes, and living nearby makes you the easy person to slot into a cancellation. Describe the symptom rather than just asking for an appointment.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is becoming difficult, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If nothing on the road is free, search outward by distance at dentist directory.
Questions patients ask
Are all the dentists in Four Corners on one street?
Effectively yes. All 41 listings in the neighborhood give a Lancaster Dr NE address, recorded three ways in the source data as Lancaster Dr NE, Lancaster Dr. NE and Lancaster Dr. Everything falls inside ZIP code 97301, which makes it simple to check whether an address is genuinely in Four Corners.
Can I get braces in Four Corners?
Yes. Seven of the 41 listings are orthodontics, which is a high proportion for a neighborhood of this size and means you can compare more than one practice. Ask each for the full treatment cost in writing along with the payment schedule, since our registry holds no fee information at all.
Where do I go for a root canal?
No endodontist is listed in Four Corners. The nearest are elsewhere in Salem, about 2.1 miles away, where 15 endodontic practices are on the register. Periodontics and prosthodontics are the same short trip. Many general dentists also do straightforward root canals, so ask one of the 29 general practices here first.
