Everything below is drawn from the registry: counts, categories, streets, ownership, registration years and the distance to the specialties that are missing.
What is listed in Vancouver Mall
30 of the 38 practices list general dentistry. The rest is 5 dental clinics, 3 periodontic practices, 2 oral and maxillofacial surgery practices and 1 endodontic practice. Gum treatment and extractions have local options, while braces, children's specialists and denture specialists do not.
NE Vancouver Mall Dr has 19 listings, half the neighborhood, and NE Vancouver Mall Loop has 4 more. NE Parkway Dr has 5, NE 40th St has 4 and NE Thurston Way has 2. Between those five streets you have 34 of the 38.
Ownership runs 26 individual practitioners to 12 organizations. Individual listings usually mean the dentist named is the one who treats you, while organization listings may be groups or companies with several dentists sharing a practice.
18 of the 38 were registered before 2010 and the oldest registration here dates to 2006. That is just under half, so the cluster mixes long established addresses with more recent arrivals.

How to choose between them
With 30 general practices in a compact area, ask the questions that actually separate them: are you taking new patients, do you take my exact plan rather than just the insurer, and how soon could I be seen. Anything that fails those three is not a real option however convenient it looks.
Then ask what a practice does itself. Braces, children's specialist care and denture work all mean leaving the neighborhood, so it helps to know whether your general dentist handles aligner cases, sees children, or makes dentures in house. Ask for a written estimate before any treatment beyond a check up.
If you need something Vancouver Mall does not have
Three specialties are missing, and all three are extremely close. Orthodontics, pediatric dentistry and prosthodontics all have their nearest listings elsewhere in Vancouver about 0.2 miles away, where we record 30 orthodontic practices, 31 pediatric and 6 prosthodontic. That is a walk rather than a drive.
The neighboring areas are smaller. Maple Tree is 1.6 miles away with 8 practices, Burton Homes is 0.9 miles with 7, Green Meadows is 1.1 miles with 4, Kevanna Park is 1.5 miles with 4, Northcrest is 2.1 miles with 4 and Walnut Grove is 2.0 miles with 3.
Insurance and paying
In network means a practice has agreed to your insurer's contracted fee schedule and charges those rates. Out of network still means treatment, usually at a higher cost and sometimes with a claim you submit yourself. It is a business arrangement rather than a quality signal, and a practice can take one plan from an insurer and not another.
For anything beyond a check up and clean, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes, the fee, the expected plan payment and your share, and ask how much of your annual maximum is left. Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, and none of these 38 practices have claimed their listing or published hours with us. Until a practice claims its page, only the office can confirm those things.
If it is urgent
Call first thing and be direct: a tooth has broken, a filling has come out, or the pain kept you awake and you need to be seen today. Emergency slots are usually released early and taken quickly. With 30 general practices within a few blocks, phoning several in a row is a practical use of ten minutes.
Some symptoms mean an emergency room rather than a dental office: swelling spreading toward your eye or down your neck, trouble breathing or swallowing, a fever with facial swelling, or bleeding that will not stop after an extraction. If you would rather search by distance than by neighborhood, dentist directory sorts practices by how far they are from you.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are near Vancouver Mall?
Our directory lists 38 dental practices with a Vancouver Mall address, across ZIP codes 98662 and 98661. Thirty list general dentistry, five are dental clinics, three are periodontic practices, two are oral and maxillofacial surgery practices and one is endodontic. Vancouver as a whole has 549 listed practices.
Where is the nearest orthodontist?
There is no orthodontic listing with a Vancouver Mall address, but the nearest are only about 0.2 miles away elsewhere in Vancouver, where we record 30 practices. Pediatric dentistry and prosthodontics are also missing locally and sit at the same distance, with 31 and 6 practices respectively.
Are the practices all in the same place?
Close to it. Twenty three of the 38 listings are on NE Vancouver Mall Dr or NE Vancouver Mall Loop, with 5 more on NE Parkway Dr and 4 on NE 40th St. That makes convenience a weak way to choose between them, so focus on availability, plan participation and how clearly treatment is explained.
