More than a third of the city's listed dental care is in this one neighborhood, and it is mostly general practice. This guide uses only what the national provider registry records: reported specialty, street, registration date, and whether a listing is under a person or an organization.
What is listed in Redwood
Twenty-five of the 36 listings report general dentistry as their primary specialty and 4 more are registered as dental clinics. Beyond that there are 5 orthodontic listings and 2 in periodontics. No other dental specialty has a Redwood address in the registry.
The addresses spread over a handful of streets rather than piling onto one. 147th St W and Glazier Ave have 10 listings each, Pennock Ave has 5, 145th St W has 4 and Cedar Ave has 2.
Twenty-one listings are registered to an individual dentist and 15 to an organization. Twenty of the 36 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2005, so a majority have been listed at the same address for a long time.
How to choose between them
With 25 general dentists and 4 clinics listed in a compact area, routine care is easy to arrange locally. Exams, cleanings, fillings, crowns and many extractions all happen in general practice.
Because four specialties have no listing here, the referral question matters. Ask a prospective dentist who they send patients to for root canals, extractions and children's treatment, and how far away those practices are. Two of the four missing specialties are only 0.4 miles away, so the answer should be reassuring.
The 5 orthodontic listings give families local choice on braces and aligners. It is worth getting more than one consultation and comparing written treatment plans, since orthodontic cases run for months or years.
- Ask who the practice refers to for root canals and extractions.
- For braces, compare written plans from two practices.
- Check whether the practice is taking new patients on your plan.
If you need something Redwood does not have
Four specialties are missing. Pediatric dentistry and endodontics are both available elsewhere in Apple Valley, about 0.4 miles away, though the numbers are small: 3 pediatric listings and 2 endodontic ones. Oral and maxillofacial surgery and prosthodontics both mean a trip to Burnsville, about 3.2 miles away, where 4 oral surgery practices and 1 prosthodontist are listed.
Those are short distances, but the small numbers mean availability rather than travel will be the limiting factor. Book ahead where you can.
For general care, Galaxie Commons is 0.5 miles away with 31 listings, Old Town 0.7 miles with 3 and Cedar Knolls 2.2 miles with 8. Apple Valley as a whole lists 95 practices.
Insurance and paying
Ask whether a practice is in network with your specific plan rather than just with your insurance company. That single answer usually shapes your bill more than anything else you can establish before booking.
For anything beyond an exam and cleaning, and for orthodontic treatment especially, ask for a written estimate showing each procedure code, the practice's fee, the expected insurance payment and your share. Ask for it before treatment starts.
Our listings come from the national provider registry, which holds only name, address and reported specialty. There are no fees, no opening hours and no insurance details in it. In Redwood, none of the 36 listings has a published website or published hours. That is why claimed listings matter: claiming a page is how a practice adds what the registry never held.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices nearest you and ask specifically about same day emergency slots. With 25 general dentists and 4 clinics listed, and 20 of them split between 147th St W and Glazier Ave, you can try several numbers quickly.
Some symptoms mean an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to the ER if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop under steady pressure.
If nothing local can fit you in, search by distance from where you are at dentist directory.
