Almost a third of the town's listed dental care is in this one area. Everything below is drawn from the national provider registry: reported specialty, street, registration date, and whether a listing is filed under a person or an organization.
What is listed in Canterbury Crossing
Nineteen of the 30 listings report general dentistry as their primary specialty and 3 more are registered as dental clinics. The specialist side is small but useful: 3 in oral and maxillofacial surgery, 3 in endodontics, 2 in periodontics and 1 in oral radiology, a category most neighborhoods have no listing in at all.
The addresses spread across four streets. Regent Ct has 11 listings, with 1 more entered as Regent Court. Rolling Ridge Dr has 9, and Radnor Rd and Windmere Dr have 4 each.
Seventeen listings are registered to an individual dentist and 13 to an organization. Twenty-one of the 30 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2006, so most have been listed at the same address for a long time.
How to choose between them
For routine care you are choosing among 19 general dentists and 3 clinics. Ask whether they are taking new patients on your plan, how far ahead they book, and what they do about problems outside normal hours.
The presence of 3 endodontists and 3 oral surgeons locally means that root canal treatment and extractions can usually be arranged without leaving the area, which matters more in a smaller town than in a big city.
The individual and organization split is fairly even, so ask which kind of practice you are calling. A named single dentist usually means continuity of care. A group practice may offer more appointment times but less certainty about who you see.
- Ask whether root canals are done in house or referred locally.
- Ask what happens if you have a problem when the practice is closed.
- Check the street, since the listings spread across four of them.
If you need something Canterbury Crossing does not have
Two specialties have no listing here. For orthodontics, the nearest is elsewhere in State College, about 1.8 miles away, where 8 practices are listed. For pediatric dentistry, the nearest is Port Matilda, about 6.2 miles away, with 6 listings.
The pediatric gap is the one worth planning around. Many general dentists see children as part of family practice, so ask a local general dentist before making the trip.
Other nearby neighborhoods are small. Greentree is 2.2 miles away with 10 listings. Chestnut Ridge Manor has 6 at 4.0 miles, Park Hills and Saybrook 3 each at 4.1 miles, and Toftrees 3 at 4.4 miles. State College as a whole lists 100 practices.
Insurance and paying
Ask whether a practice is in network with your specific plan rather than just with your insurer. It is the question that most affects your final bill, and the answer can differ between plans from the same company.
For anything beyond an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate that lists each procedure code, the practice's fee, the expected insurance payment and your share. Ask for it before treatment begins.
Our listings come from the national provider registry, which records only name, address and reported specialty. It holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. In Canterbury Crossing, 1 of the 30 listings has a published website and none has 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 lost filling or crown, or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices nearest you and ask specifically about same day emergency slots. With 19 general dentists, 3 clinics, 3 endodontists and 3 oral surgeons listed, urgent problems have a fair chance of being handled locally.
Some symptoms mean 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 nearby can fit you in, search by distance from where you are at dentist directory.
