The recorded specialties are 49 general dentistry listings, 4 orthodontics, 3 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 3 prosthodontics, 3 dental clinics, 3 pediatric dentistry and 1 periodontics. Almost everything is represented somewhere on the list.
What is listed in the Historic District
The listings are spread across the street grid rather than gathered in one building. Prince St has 9, N Fairfax St and N Washington St have 7 each, Pendleton St has 6 and King St has 5, with the remainder at other addresses inside ZIP 22314. Comparing offices means a short walk between several of them rather than one stop.
Forty of the listings are individual practitioners registered under their own name and 20 are organizations, meaning a practice entity, group or clinic. Thirty of the 60 have been on the federal register since before 2010 and the oldest registration here dates to 2005, so the list is an even mix of long standing and newer entities.

How to choose between them
With 49 general dentistry listings, routine care is well supplied and the sensible filters are practical: plan coverage, how soon a new patient can be seen, and whether you can park or walk to the address easily.
Specialist coverage is decent for a list this size, with 4 orthodontic, 3 oral surgery, 3 prosthodontic and 3 pediatric listings. Periodontics has a single listing, so gum treatment may involve a wait or a trip.
Ask what a new patient exam includes, whether x rays are part of the fee, and which procedures the dentist performs personally rather than refers out.
If you need something the Historic District does not have
Only endodontics is missing entirely. That is the specialty for difficult root canals and for retreating ones that have failed. The nearest listings are elsewhere in Alexandria, about 3.1 miles away, where we show 11 practices.
Many general dentists carry out straightforward root canals themselves, so ask before assuming you need to travel. If you are referred, ask that your x rays and notes go with the referral.
For more general options nearby, Eisenhower East has 15 listed practices 0.9 miles away, Fair Haven has 9 at 1.5 miles, Del Ray has 4 at 1.0 miles, Clover has 4 at 1.6 miles, Hume has 3 at 1.8 miles and Lynhaven has 3 at 1.9 miles.
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.
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, so this page cannot tell you what a visit costs or when a practice is open. Two of the 60 listings here publish a website with us and two publish hours, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice adds what the registry never carried.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost crown or pain that has kept you awake, call in the morning and say plainly that you need same day care. With 49 general listings within one ZIP code, several of them a few blocks apart, working down a call list is realistic.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist: 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 outward by distance rather than by neighborhood, use dentist directory.
