Almost every one of them is on the same road, and the specialty mix is heavily weighted toward surgery. This guide covers what the registry records and what it leaves you to ask.
What is listed in Accotink Heights
22 of the 33 listings are tagged general dentistry. Then comes oral and maxillofacial surgery with 9, which is a very high share for a neighborhood of this size, followed by 2 prosthodontics, 2 periodontics, and one each for orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, dental anesthesiology and endodontics. A listing can carry more than one tag, so the totals overlap.
For extractions, implants and other surgical work, that means real local choice. For braces, children's dentistry and root canals, it means a single listing each, so availability may be tight.
The addresses are about as concentrated as they get: 30 listings on Little River Tpke, 2 more recorded as Little River Turnpike, and 1 on Americana Dr. 23 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 10 as organizations. 16 of the 33 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2006.

How to choose between them
Since nearly everything is on one road, distance will not narrow your list. Start with what you need. For routine care, call two or three of the 22 general listings and ask when a new patient exam is available and what it includes.
If you have been told you need an extraction or an implant, the depth here works in your favor. Nine oral and maxillofacial surgery listings on one road means you can compare rather than take the first appointment offered. One listing is also tagged dental anesthesiology, which is worth asking about if sedation is a concern for you.
Where the coverage is one listing deep, plan ahead. Orthodontics, pediatric dentistry and endodontics each have a single listing, so call early and ask general practices what they handle themselves.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
There is no specialty gap in Accotink Heights. Every main dental specialty has at least one listing, which is unusual for 33 practices. Availability rather than absence is the constraint, particularly for the specialties with a single listing.

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. None of the 33 Accotink Heights listings has published hours or a website with us, and none has been claimed by its owner, so cost questions go to the practice itself.
Ask whether they are in network with your specific plan rather than with your insurer as a whole. 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.
Surgical treatment is where written estimates matter most. Ask for one with the procedure codes, and check whether sedation and any imaging will be billed separately from the procedure.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices on Little River Tpke and ask directly whether they hold same day emergency slots. With 22 general listings and 9 oral and maxillofacial surgery listings on one road, this is a well covered neighborhood for urgent problems.
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 rather than by neighborhood, dentist directory orders practices by how far they are from where you are.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Accotink Heights?
Our directory lists 33 dental practices in Accotink Heights, out of 114 across Annandale, all inside ZIP code 22003. 22 are tagged general dentistry and 9 are tagged oral and maxillofacial surgery, with single or double listings for prosthodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, dental anesthesiology and endodontics.
Why are there so many oral surgeons in Accotink Heights?
We can report the count but not the reason. 9 of the 33 listings carry the oral and maxillofacial surgery tag, and 32 of the 33 listings are on Little River Tpke. Practically, it means extractions and implant surgery can be arranged locally, and you can compare more than one practice.
Is there a children's dentist in Accotink Heights?
One listing carries the pediatric dentistry tag, so local choice is limited to a single practice. Many general dentists see children as well, so ask when you call. Crestwood Manor is 0.6 miles away with 23 listings and Alpine is 1.1 miles away with 18 if you need alternatives.
