Twenty-one listings are recorded as general dentistry. The directory also lists five dental clinics, three endodontists and one prosthodontist here. Root canal treatment is unusually well covered for a neighborhood this size, but four other specialties are missing entirely.
What is listed in Lowell
Colby Ave carries 18 listings, with one more recorded under a variant that includes a cross street. Hoyt Ave has 6, Rucker Ave has 3 and 37th St has 1. That means one avenue holds the majority of the dentistry here, which makes comparing two or three practices straightforward.
Two ZIP codes cover the area, 98201 and 98203. Seventeen listings are registered to individual practitioners and 13 to organizations. Sixteen have been on the register since before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2005, so around half these practices have held their address for well over a decade.
- Colby Ave, including the recorded variant: 19 practices
- Hoyt Ave: 6 practices
- Rucker Ave: 3 practices, 37th St: 1 practice
- ZIP codes covered: 98201 and 98203
Choosing between them
Twenty-one general dentists on a handful of streets is enough choice for routine care without being overwhelming. Ask whether the practice is accepting new patients, whether it is in network with your plan, how far ahead exams and hygiene visits are booked, and what happens if you are in pain outside opening hours.
Three endodontists in a neighborhood of 30 is worth noting, because root canal treatment is one of the most common reasons a general dentist refers out. The five dental clinic listings are the ones most likely to have several chairs and longer opening, which helps if you need appointments arranged around work.
The 17 individual practitioner registrations against 13 organizations gives you a reasonable choice of style. A solo practice usually means the same dentist at every visit and a smaller appointment book, while a group or clinic usually has more chairs and better cover when someone is away.
What is not here
Four specialties have no listing in Lowell, and all four point the same way. Orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery are each nearest elsewhere in Everett, 2.4 miles away, where the directory lists 15 orthodontic, eight pediatric, eight periodontic and 11 oral and maxillofacial surgery practices.
For more general choice, Pinehurst lists 24 practices at 1.5 miles, the closest sizeable option. Casino Corner has 17 at 3.4 miles, Intercity 13 at 4.0 miles, Twin Creeks 32 at 4.2 miles, Fairmont 14 at 5.0 miles and Lake Stickney 17 at 6.4 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network is the biggest single factor in your bill. In network means your insurer has already agreed the fee. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan reimburses a share of it, or nothing. Ask when you book rather than at the counter afterward.
For anything beyond an exam and clean, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes, the total and your expected share. If you are referred into Everett for orthodontic or surgical care, ask that practice for its own estimate rather than relying on the referring dentist.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 30 Lowell listings has a published website or published hours in the record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice adds those details to this page.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, work along Colby Ave from opening time, then try Hoyt Ave. With 21 general dentists and five dental clinics in the neighborhood, a short round of calls covers most of it, and clinics usually have the most room to fit an emergency in.
Certain symptoms mean an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is becoming difficult, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If nothing here is free, Pinehurst is 1.5 miles away with 24 listings, and you can search by distance at dentist directory.

Thirty practices, from an Everett total of 297. Twenty-one are recorded as general dentistry, and the directory also lists five dental clinics, three endodontists and one prosthodontist. Seventeen are registered to individual practitioners and 13 to organizations, across ZIP codes 98201 and 98203.

No pediatric dentistry practice is listed in the neighborhood. The nearest are elsewhere in Everett, about 2.4 miles away, where eight are on the register. Many of the 21 general dentists in Lowell see children for routine checkups, so ask locally first before traveling for an ordinary appointment.
Can I get a root canal without leaving the neighborhood?
Quite possibly. Three endodontic practices are listed in Lowell, which is a good number for an area with 30 listings in total. Many general dentists also carry out straightforward root canals themselves. Our registry does not record which procedures a practice performs, so confirm by phone before booking.
