Twenty-four listings are recorded as general dentistry. The directory also lists 10 pediatric dentists, nine orthodontists, three dental clinics, three oral and maxillofacial surgeons, one periodontist and one endodontist. That is a strong showing for families and a wide specialist range for a town of this size.
What is listed in Johnstown
President Pl carries the most listings with 17, followed by Movie Row with 11 and Rock Springs Rd with 9. W Sam Ridley Pkwy has 3 and Stonecrest Pkwy has 1. Those first three streets account for 37 of the 41 practices, so a shortlist can be built with very little driving.
One ZIP code, 37167, covers the whole neighborhood. Twenty-six listings are registered to individual practitioners and 15 to organizations. Only six have been on the register since before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2005, so the great majority of these practices are recent registrations.
- President Pl: 17 practices
- Movie Row: 11 practices
- Rock Springs Rd: 9 practices
- W Sam Ridley Pkwy: 3 practices, Stonecrest Pkwy: 1 practice
- ZIP code covered: 37167
Choosing between them
For families this is a well supplied neighborhood. Ten pediatric dentists and nine orthodontists out of 41 listings means you can compare several rather than take the first with a slot, and both kinds of care run over years, so a nearby office genuinely saves time.
Only six listings predate 2010, which is low. That reflects a young set of registrations rather than anything about quality, but it is worth asking how long the dentist has worked at that address, and what happens to your records if the practice changes hands. Ask that of the 24 general dentistry practices in particular, since they are the ones you will see most often.
What is not here
Only one specialty is missing, and it means a real journey. There is no prosthodontist listed in Johnstown, and the nearest are in Brentwood, 13.3 miles away, where seven practices are on the register. If you are facing dentures, bridges or full mouth restorative work, plan for that distance and ask how many visits will be involved.
The nearby neighborhoods are small. Hunter's Point lists 5 practices at 0.4 miles and St. Johns Wood 13 at 0.7 miles. Together with the 41 here, that is most of what is available without leaving Smyrna, which makes the Johnstown listings worth working through carefully.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network is the split 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 a share of it, or nothing. 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 with procedure codes, the total and your expected share. For orthodontic treatment, ask for the whole course to be quoted along with the payment schedule and what happens if you move away part way through.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 41 Johnstown 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 a practice can add those details here.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the President Pl and Movie Row practices at opening time, then Rock Springs Rd. With 24 general dentists and three dental clinics in one ZIP code, a short round of calls covers most of the neighborhood. Clinics usually have the most room for an emergency.
Some symptoms mean 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 getting difficult, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If nothing local can see you, widen the search by distance at dentist directory.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Johnstown, Smyrna?
Forty-one practices, all inside ZIP code 37167, from a Smyrna total of 134. Twenty-four are recorded as general dentistry, and the directory also lists 10 pediatric dentists, nine orthodontists, three dental clinics, three oral and maxillofacial surgeons, one periodontist and one endodontist.
Where do I go for dentures or a prosthodontist?
Prosthodontics is the only specialty our data records as missing from Johnstown. The nearest prosthodontic practices are in Brentwood, about 13.3 miles away, where seven are listed. That is the longest specialist trip from this neighborhood, so ask your general dentist what can be handled locally first.
Is Johnstown a good area for children's dentistry?
By the numbers, yes. Ten of the 41 listings are pediatric dentistry and another nine are orthodontics, mostly on President Pl, Movie Row and Rock Springs Rd. That means real choice for children's care and braces without leaving the neighborhood, which matters because both run over several years.
