Locally, though, general dentistry is well covered: 33 of the 35 listings include it, and most of them sit on one street. Everything below comes from the listings themselves.
What is listed in Park Place
Thirty three of the 35 listings include general dentistry. Three list prosthodontics, and there is one each for dental clinics, endodontics, orthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Practices can carry more than one specialty, so the counts overlap.
Broadway St is the spine of the neighborhood with 23 listings, plus three more written as Broadway or Broadway Blvd. Park Place Blvd has four and Gulf St two. The neighborhood covers two ZIP codes, 77087 and 77017.
The split between individual practitioners and organizations is almost exactly even, 18 to 17, which is unusual. Twenty of the 35 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2006.
How to choose between them
With 33 general listings and very little specialist depth, your general dentist here will be handling more of your care and arranging the referrals. Ask at the first appointment which treatments they do themselves and where they send the rest, because a referral out of Park Place can mean a long drive.
Ask what a new patient exam with x-rays costs and how quickly an existing patient in pain can be seen. Ask about languages spoken and about early or late appointments too, since neither shows up in a listing.
The even split between solo practitioners and organizations means both models are available. Organizations tend to have more chairs and better short notice availability. Individual practitioners more often mean seeing the same dentist every time.
When you need something that is not here
Two specialties have no listing in Park Place: pediatric dentistry and periodontics. For both, the nearest listed concentration is in Pearland, about 9.4 miles away, with 15 pediatric practices and ten periodontic ones. The choice is decent, but the journey is real.
Endodontics, orthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery each have a single listing here, so a second opinion in any of those also means traveling.
For more general dentistry closer by, Golfcrest is 1.0 mile away with 15 listings. Pecan Park has ten at 2.2 miles, Magnolia Park 15 at 3.6 miles, East Haven ten at 3.7 miles, Harrisburg five at 2.2 miles and Mayfair four at 2.6 miles. Houston as a whole has 4,448 listed practices, so a wider search opens up a great deal.
Insurance and paying
None of the 35 listings in Park Place has been claimed, and none publishes a website or opening hours through us. The registry these entries are drawn from records who a provider is and what they practice, and holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information whatsoever. That is why a claimed listing is worth more: claiming is how a practice supplies its own details.
So ask on the phone. Give the full name of your plan rather than just the insurer, because a practice can be in network with one plan from a company and out of network with another. If you are on a state program, ask specifically whether they are taking new patients under it.
Before any treatment beyond a filling, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes. It matters more here than in a dense neighborhood, because a second opinion may involve a genuine trip and you want to compare the same work.
If it is urgent
Call at opening and describe the problem in one sentence. Twenty six listings on Broadway St means a short phone list covers most of the neighborhood, and once someone can fit you in, getting there is easy.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital immediately if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from your mouth will not stop. Being nearly 12 miles from the center of the city is a good reason not to wait and see.
If nothing here can help, dentist directory searches by distance rather than by neighborhood, which is the more useful tool given how spread out the alternatives are.
