Alongside 28 general dentistry listings, orthodontics is unusually well represented here with 8, and periodontics has 4. This guide uses only what the national provider registry records for these addresses.
What is listed in Willow Lawn
Twenty-eight of the 44 listings report general dentistry as their primary specialty and 2 more are registered as dental clinics. Orthodontics has 8 listings, periodontics 4, and there is one each in oral and maxillofacial surgery and endodontics.

Thirty-two listings are registered to an individual dentist and 12 to an organization. Thirty-four of the 44, more than three quarters, were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2006. That makes this one of the more settled lists in the directory.
How to choose between them
For routine care you are choosing among 28 general dentists and 2 clinics, most of them on one avenue. Since distance will not separate them, ask about in network status with your plan, how far ahead they book, and how they handle urgent problems.
Orthodontics is the strength here. Eight listings means you can compare several consultations for braces or aligners without traveling, and comparing written treatment plans and payment schedules is worth the effort on a course of treatment that runs for months or years.
With single listings in oral surgery and endodontics, ask your general dentist what they do in house. Many carry out root canals and simple extractions themselves.
- For braces, get two or three consultations and compare plans.
- Ask whether root canals are done in house.
- Note that Old Richmond Ave appears under two spellings.

Insurance and paying
Ask whether a practice is in network with your particular plan rather than just with your insurance company. That is the question that most affects your final bill, and the answer can differ between two plans from the same insurer.
For anything beyond an exam and cleaning, and for orthodontic treatment above all, ask for a written estimate that lists each procedure code, the practice's fee, what the plan is expected to pay and your share, along with the payment schedule. Ask before treatment starts.
Our listings come from the national provider registry, which holds only name, address and reported specialty. There are no fees, no opening hours and no insurance details in it. In Willow Lawn, none of the 44 listings has a published website or published hours. That is why claimed listings matter: claiming a page is how a practice publishes what the registry never carried.
If it is urgent
For a cracked tooth, a lost filling or crown, or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices nearest you and ask specifically about same day emergency slots. With 28 general dentists and 2 clinics listed, and 23 of all listings on Old Richmond Ave under its two spellings, you can try several quickly.
Go to an emergency room rather than a dentist if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you have any difficulty breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop under steady pressure.
If nothing local can fit you in, search by distance from your location at dentist directory.
