Nearly all of them are on a single road. This guide sets out how they split by specialty, what is missing and where the nearest alternatives are.
What is listed in Garrisonville
34 of the 46 listings are tagged general dentistry. The rest are 4 dental clinic, 2 endodontics, 2 orthodontics, 2 periodontics, and one each for oral and maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics and dental public health. A listing can carry more than one tag, so the totals overlap.
That is thin but complete specialist coverage for everything except children's dentistry, which has no listing at all. Where a specialty has one or two listings, treat local availability as something to check rather than assume.
Garrisonville Rd holds 38 listings, with 2 more recorded under slightly different spellings, so 40 of the 46 are on that one road. Dunn Dr has 3 and Berkshire Dr has 2. 30 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 16 as organizations. 15 of the 46 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2006.
- 46 listed practices across ZIPs 22554 and 22556
- More than half of the 88 practices listed across Stafford
- 40 on Garrisonville Rd, counting all spellings
- 30 individual practitioners, 16 organizations
- 15 registered before 2010, oldest registration 2006
How to choose between them
Because 40 of the 46 listings are on the same road, location will not sort them for you. Start with availability: call three or four of the 34 general listings and ask when a new patient exam is free and what it includes.
Ask each practice what they carry out in house. With one oral and maxillofacial surgery listing, one prosthodontics listing and two endodontics listings in the neighborhood, a general dentist who does their own extractions and root canals can spare you a longer journey.
Only 15 of the 46 listings were registered before 2010, so this is a comparatively recent set of registrations. If you want a practice that has been at the same address for a long time, ask rather than relying on the registration year.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
One specialty is missing entirely, and it is a long way off. Pediatric dentistry has no listing in Garrisonville, and our nearest listings are in Dumfries, about 9.2 miles away, where we hold 5 practices. Many general dentists see children, so ask the local practices what age they treat from before making that trip.
The nearby neighborhoods will not add much. Aquia Town Center is 1.7 miles away with 7 listings and Coal Landing is 2.6 miles away with 3. Since Garrisonville holds more than half of Stafford's listings, most of your alternatives are already in this neighborhood rather than beyond it.
- Aquia Town Center, 1.7 miles, 7 practices
- Coal Landing, 2.6 miles, 3 practices
- Pediatric dentistry: nearest listings in Dumfries, 9.2 miles, 5 practices
- Stafford in total, 88 listed practices
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, and nothing about cost. None of the 46 Garrisonville listings has published hours or a website with us, and none has been claimed by its owner.
Ask whether the practice is 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 be workable if your plan pays a share, but more of the bill falls to you.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes. If treatment means traveling out of Stafford, ask the same question again at that practice before the first appointment.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices on Garrisonville Rd and ask outright whether they hold same day emergency slots. With 34 general listings and 2 endodontics listings on essentially one road, you can work through a lot of the neighborhood in a single phone session.
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. With only one oral and maxillofacial surgery listing nearby, do not wait on those signs.
To search by distance rather than by neighborhood, dentist directory orders practices by how far they are from where you are.
