The mix runs 55 general dentistry listings, 10 pediatric dentistry, 9 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 9 periodontics, 7 endodontics, 7 prosthodontics, 3 oral pathology, 2 dental clinics, and one each in orthodontics, orofacial pain and dental public health.
What is listed here
The listings are tightly grouped. Ashley Ave has 43, Bee St has 19 with a further 12 filed as Bee Street, Rutledge Ave has 6 and Courtenay Dr has 2. That puts more than 80 practices within a few blocks of each other.
Eighty five of the 92 listings are individual practitioners registered under their own name and only 7 are organizations. That is an exceptionally individual list, and it usually reflects clinicians registered in their own right rather than a neighborhood of large group practices. Forty two have been on the federal register since before 2010 and the oldest registration here dates to 2005.

How to choose between them
With 55 general dentistry listings in a few blocks, routine care is easy to arrange. Filter on plan coverage, on how soon a new patient can be seen, and on which address suits you, then call two or three and compare what a new patient exam includes.
The specialist depth is the real feature: 10 pediatric, 9 oral surgery, 9 periodontic, 7 endodontic and 7 prosthodontic listings. If a treatment plan involves more than one clinician, it can almost certainly all happen within walking distance.
The exception is orthodontics, with a single listing among 92 practices. If braces or aligners are the reason you are looking, expect to compare options outside the neighborhood as well.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Nothing is missing outright. Every specialty we track has at least one listing here, which is rare and makes this a natural place to be referred to rather than from.
Where a category is thin, notably orthodontics, the nearby areas add choice. Harleston Green has 51 listed practices just 0.2 miles away, Wespanee has 23 at 2.6 miles, Halsey Park has 19 at 0.4 miles, Harleston Village has 8 at 0.6 miles, Hampton Park Terrace has 7 at 1.1 miles and Eastside has 5 at 0.7 miles.
Ask that x rays and notes go ahead with any referral so imaging is not repeated.
Insurance and paying
In network means a practice has agreed a contracted fee schedule with your insurer, so you pay the negotiated rate. Out of network means you may still have coverage, but the practice sets its own fee and you usually pay the difference. It is a billing arrangement rather than a quality rating, and it can vary between two plans from the same insurer.
For anything beyond a routine exam, ask for a written estimate showing procedure codes, the practice fee, the expected insurance payment and your share. Specialist work is often staged across visits, so ask what is due at each one.
Our listings come from the federal provider registry, which records names, addresses, specialties and registration dates. It holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. Here, one listing publishes a website with us and one publishes hours, and none of the 92 has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice adds what the registry never held.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost crown or pain that has kept you awake, call early and say plainly that you need same day care. With 55 general listings, 7 endodontic listings for severe pain and 9 oral surgery listings if a tooth has to come out, few neighborhoods are better placed.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dental chair: swelling spreading toward your eye or down your neck, trouble breathing or swallowing, a fever alongside facial swelling, or bleeding that will not stop.
To search by distance from wherever you are, use dentist directory.
