What is listed in the Texas Medical Center
Fannin St carries 79 listings, with three more recorded simply as Fannin. Holcombe Blvd has 15, and Taub Loop and Lehall St have 2 each. Eighty-nine of the 105 listings are registered to individual practitioners rather than organizations, which means many entries are individual clinicians at large institutional addresses rather than separate storefront practices.
Two ZIP codes cover the district, 77030 and 77054. Fifty listings have been on the register since before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2005. Because addresses here are large buildings, check the floor and suite when you book rather than relying on the street number alone.
- Fannin St, including the shortened form: 82 practices
- Holcombe Blvd: 15 practices
- Taub Loop and Lehall St: 2 each
- ZIP codes covered: 77030 and 77054
- 89 individual practitioner registrations against 16 organizations
Choosing between them
Thirty-two oral and maxillofacial surgery listings out of 105 is the striking figure here. This is a district oriented toward surgical and complex care rather than routine checkups, so if you want a regular family dentist you may be better served by a neighboring area. If you have been referred for surgery, implants or complex restorative work, this is where the depth is.
For the 57 general dentistry listings, call before traveling and confirm that the address takes appointments from the public and is accepting new patients. Ask about parking and building access as well, since medical campus addresses are rarely as simple to reach as a street level office.
Everything is represented, but look nearby too
Our data records no specialty as missing from the Texas Medical Center. Prosthodontics has 11 listings, pediatric dentistry five, orthodontics four, periodontics three and endodontics two, alongside the 32 in oral and maxillofacial surgery. There are also four oral pathology listings and single listings in orofacial pain and dental anesthesiology, categories most districts lack.
For an ordinary neighborhood practice, the surrounding areas are close and much more conventional. Avondale lists 26 practices at 0.3 miles, Southgate 45 at 0.8 miles and Central City 176 at 1.0 miles, the largest pool nearby. Rice Village has 22 at 1.3 miles, the Museum District 18 at 1.3 miles and Riverside Terrace 6 at 1.1 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network means your insurer has agreed the fee in advance and you pay the agreed share. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan reimburses part of it, or nothing. Surgical and hospital based care can also involve facility charges separate from the clinician's fee, so ask specifically what else will be billed.
Request a written estimate with procedure codes, the total and your expected share before anything beyond an exam and clean. Where several clinicians are involved, ask for each to quote their own part.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 105 listings in this district 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 publish those details here.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth or pain that has kept you awake, telephone rather than turn up, since so many of these listings share large addresses. If you need a conventional practice quickly, Avondale is 0.3 miles away with 26 listings and Southgate 0.8 miles with 45, and both are likely to run ordinary appointment books.
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 breathing or swallowing is becoming difficult, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
To rank practices by real distance from where you are, use dentist directory.
Questions patients ask
Is the Texas Medical Center a good place to find a family dentist?
It is not the obvious choice. Only 57 of the 105 listings are general dentistry, and 89 of the 105 are individual practitioners at institutional addresses. For routine care, Avondale at 0.3 miles with 26 practices, Southgate at 0.8 miles with 45 and Central City at 1.0 miles with 176 are more conventional options.
Why are there so many oral surgeons here?
Our records show 32 of the 105 listings in this district are oral and maxillofacial surgery, far more than any other specialty apart from general dentistry. The registry does not explain the clustering, but it means that if you have been referred for wisdom teeth, implant placement or jaw surgery, the depth of choice here is unusual.
Which street should I check first?
Fannin St, which carries 79 listings, with three more recorded simply as Fannin. Holcombe Blvd adds 15. Both are large building addresses across ZIP codes 77030 and 77054, so confirm the floor and suite number when you book and allow extra time for parking and building access.
