Almost the whole neighborhood is on one road, which makes comparing practices easy and makes the building number the thing you must get right. Everything below comes from the practice registry.
What is listed in Old Courthouse
Thirty three of the 50 listings are general dentistry. Alongside them are four endodontists, three orthodontists, three prosthodontists and one periodontist, plus six dental clinics. Four endodontists is a good showing for root canal treatment in a neighborhood of this size.
Old Courthouse Rd has 39 practices. Two further listings appear under variant spellings of the same road, one written out in full and one with a suite prefix and a misspelling, which are the same street rather than separate ones. Boone Blvd has four and Chain Bridge Rd has three.
Thirty listings are registered as individual practitioners and 20 as organizations, a higher share of organizations than most neighborhoods. Eighteen of the 50 have been registered since before 2010, so a majority are more recent registrations, and the oldest dates to 2006. None of the 50 has published a website or opening hours through this directory, and none has been claimed.
How to choose between them
With 33 general dentists effectively on one road, location cannot narrow the field. Ask instead about availability, network status with your plan and what each practice handles in house. With 20 of the 50 listings registered as organizations, also ask how many dentists work there and whether you can see the same one at each visit.
If you know what treatment you need, the specialty numbers help. Four endodontists means root canal referrals should stay local. One periodontist serves the whole neighborhood, so gum treatment may involve a wait even though it is available. Three prosthodontists are also listed, which covers crowns, bridges and dentures without a referral out of the neighborhood.
- Six dental clinic listings sit alongside private practices. Ask what services each offers before booking.
- Three orthodontists are listed, which is enough to get more than one plan for braces or aligners.
- Always take the suite number. Thirty nine practices share one street, and several will share a building.
If you need something Old Courthouse does not have
Two specialties have no listing here: pediatric dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Both are available elsewhere in Vienna about one mile away, with 12 pediatric practices and 10 oral surgery practices listed. That is close enough that it should not affect which general dentist you register with.
The registry places only two neighborhoods nearby. Madrillon Farms has 54 practices just 0.3 miles away, slightly more than Old Courthouse itself, and Ash Grove has 19 at 1.1 miles. Between those and the 50 here, most of the dental care in this part of Vienna is within a short drive.
Insurance and paying
The registry we build from records the practice, the address and the specialty. It holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, so nothing here can tell you what treatment costs or which plans are taken. That only changes when an owner claims their listing and publishes the detail, and none of the 50 in Old Courthouse has done so.
So make the calls before you commit. Ask the practice whether they are in network for your specific plan, then confirm with your insurer separately, since the answers sometimes differ. For any treatment beyond an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes and what your plan is expected to pay towards it.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a crown that has come off or pain that is not settling, work down the general practices on Old Courthouse Rd and ask each whether they hold same day emergency appointments. Note that no oral surgeon is listed in the neighborhood, so a surgical extraction is likely to mean a short trip. You can also search by distance at dentist directory.
Certain symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
