The mix is 42 general dentistry listings, 3 orthodontics, 2 dental clinics, and one each in oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontics and dental public health. This is a general dentistry neighborhood with a thin specialist layer.
What is listed in Metro West
W Glen Ave carries most of the list, with 27 listings recorded on it directly and 4 more filed under a shorter spelling of the same road. N Rockwood Dr has 7 and N University St has 5, with the rest at other addresses across the two ZIP codes.
Thirty three of the listings are individual practitioners registered under their own name and 14 are organizations, meaning a practice entity, group or clinic. Twenty one of the 47 have been on the federal register since before 2010 and the oldest registration here dates to 2006, so the list mixes long standing offices with more recent ones.

How to choose between them
Forty two general dentistry listings in one neighborhood is a lot of choice for routine care, so filter on the practical points: whether the practice takes your plan, how soon a new patient can be seen, and whether W Glen Ave or one of the smaller streets suits your week better.
Since the specialist layer here is thin, ask early which procedures a practice performs itself. Some general dentists do root canals, simple extractions and gum treatment in house, others refer everything, and knowing which you have chosen saves surprises later.
Ask what a new patient exam includes and whether x rays are part of the quoted fee.
If you need something Metro West does not have
Two specialties are absent. Endodontics has no listing in the neighborhood, but the nearest practices are barely outside it: we show 7 endodontic listings elsewhere in Peoria, about 0.1 miles away. In practice a specialist root canal here is a walk or a very short drive.
Prosthodontics, covering complex dentures and full mouth reconstruction, is a longer trip. The nearest listing we hold is in Dunlap, about 5.9 miles away, and there is only one.
For more general choice nearby, Knoll Crest has 11 listed practices 1.1 miles away, Sunset Hills has 8 at 1.6 miles, Center Bluff has 6 at 2.2 miles, Lake University has 5 at 1.1 miles, The Knolls has 3 at 1.6 miles and East Bluff has 3 at 2.6 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network means the practice has agreed a contracted fee schedule with your insurer, so you pay the negotiated rate. Out of network means you may still have coverage, but the practice sets its own fee and you usually pay the difference. It is a billing arrangement rather than a quality rating, and it can vary between two plans from the same insurer.
Ask for a written estimate before any work beyond a routine exam, listing procedure codes, the practice fee, the expected insurance payment and your share.
Our listings come from the federal provider registry, which holds names, addresses, specialties and registration dates. It holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, so this page cannot tell you what a visit costs or when a practice is open. None of the 47 Metro West listings currently publishes hours or a website with us, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice adds what the registry never carried.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call in the morning and say plainly that you need to be seen today. With 42 general listings, most of them on or near W Glen Ave, working down a call list is realistic, and the endodontic practices just outside the neighborhood are close enough for a same day referral.
Certain symptoms mean an emergency room rather than a dentist: swelling spreading toward your eye or down your neck, difficulty breathing or swallowing, a fever alongside facial swelling, or bleeding that will not stop.
To search outward by distance rather than by neighborhood, use dentist directory.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Metro West, Peoria?
We list 47 dental practices in Metro West, across ZIP codes 61614 and 61615, out of 208 listed across Peoria. Forty two are general dentistry listings, three are orthodontic and two are dental clinics, with single listings in oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontics and dental public health.
Where is the nearest endodontist to Metro West?
There is no endodontic listing inside the neighborhood, but the gap is nominal. We show seven endodontic practices elsewhere in Peoria roughly a tenth of a mile away, so a specialist root canal does not mean a long journey from anywhere in Metro West.
Which street has the most dentists in Metro West?
W Glen Ave, clearly. Twenty seven listings give that address directly and four more use a shorter spelling of the same road. N Rockwood Dr has seven and N University St has five. The rest are scattered across the two ZIP codes covering the neighborhood.
