This is a general dentistry neighborhood. 42 of the 45 listings carry that tag, and three specialties have no presence here at all. This guide covers what that means in practice.
What is listed in Vickery Meadows
42 of the 45 listings are tagged general dentistry. The only other tags are 2 endodontics, 2 dental clinic, 1 dental public health, 1 pediatric dentistry and 1 oral and maxillofacial surgery. A listing can carry more than one tag, so the totals overlap.
The addresses are spread rather than concentrated. Abrams Rd has 16 listings, and Park Ln, Greenville Ave and Retail Rd have 6 each, with 5 on Skillman St. There is no single street that holds most of the neighborhood.
29 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 16 as organizations. Only 13 of the 45 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2005, so this is a comparatively recent set of registrations.

How to choose between them
For routine care you have plenty of choice: 42 general dentistry listings inside one ZIP code. Because they are spread over several roads, start with the one nearest home or work and call two or three practices there.
Ask what each practice does in house. With almost no specialist listings in the neighborhood, the difference between a general dentist who handles root canals and extractions themselves and one who refers everything out is the difference between one appointment and several journeys.
Only 1 of the 45 listings has published hours or a website with us, so the phone is the only reliable way to learn opening times, prices and whether they are accepting new patients.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Three specialties have no listing in Vickery Meadows: orthodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics. For all three, our nearest listings are elsewhere in Dallas, about 3.1 miles away, where the numbers are large: 159 orthodontics practices, 63 periodontics and 63 prosthodontics. Getting an appointment should not be difficult, but it will mean traveling.
Closer to home, several neighborhoods add general choice. The Village is 0.7 miles away with 47 listings, slightly more than Vickery Meadows itself. Knox has 53 at 3.8 miles and University Crossing has 45 at 2.5 miles. Lake Highlands has 26 and Lakewood has 15, both at 2.2 miles, and Lower Greenville has 4 at 3.2 miles.

Insurance and paying
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. It records who is registered to practice and at what address. Only 1 of the 45 Vickery Meadows listings has published hours or a website with us, and none has been claimed by its owner, so cost questions go straight to the practice.
Ask whether they are in network with your specific plan, not just whether they accept your insurer. In network normally means a rate agreed in advance. Out of network can still work if your plan pays a share, but more of the bill is yours.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes on it. Since braces and gum treatment mean traveling out of the neighborhood, ask the network question again wherever you are referred.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices on Abrams Rd, Park Ln and Greenville Ave and ask directly whether they hold same day emergency slots. With 42 general listings in one ZIP code, a short run of calls usually finds something today.
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 you have trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
To search by distance instead of by neighborhood, dentist directory orders practices by how far they are from where you are.
