The mix here is unusual. Only 17 of the 44 listings include general dentistry. Eleven include pediatric dentistry and ten include oral and maxillofacial surgery, so this is a specialist heavy street rather than a neighborhood of family practices.
What is listed in Parklawn
Seventeen of the 44 listings include general dentistry. Eleven list pediatric dentistry, ten list oral and maxillofacial surgery and four list orthodontics. There is one each for periodontics, prosthodontics and dental clinics. Practices can carry more than one specialty, so the counts overlap.
The address data is a single road. Thirty seven listings are written as France Ave S and seven as France Ave So. There is no second cluster in the neighborhood, and everything falls inside ZIP code 55435.
Thirty four listings are individual practitioners and ten are organizations. Thirty seven of the 44 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2005, which makes this one of the more long standing groups of practices you will find.
How to choose between them
Check the specialty on the listing before you call. With only 17 general listings out of 44, a fair number of the practices on this street are not the place to book a routine checkup, and it is easy to waste calls if you assume otherwise.
If you do need routine care, 17 general listings on one road is still a workable choice. Ask what a new patient exam with x-rays costs, how quickly an existing patient in pain gets seen, and which treatments are referred out.
Where Parklawn is strong is children and surgery. Eleven pediatric listings and ten oral surgery listings on a single street means you can compare several without traveling, which is rare. Four orthodontic listings adds to that.
When you need something that is not here
Endodontics has no listing in Parklawn. Eleven endodontic practices are listed elsewhere in Edina, about 1.2 miles away, so a root canal referral means a short trip rather than a real journey. Many general dentists also carry out straightforward root canals themselves, which is worth asking about first.
Periodontics and prosthodontics have one listing each here, so a second opinion in either means looking outside.
Southdale is the largest option nearby, 1.1 miles away with 79 listings. Edinborough has 12 at 0.5 miles and Centennial Lakes nine at just 0.2 miles. Lake Edina has five at 1.1 miles, Cahill three at 1.3 miles and 50th and France 27 at 3.1 miles.
Insurance and paying
None of the 44 listings in Parklawn has been claimed, and none publishes a website or opening hours through us. The registry behind these pages records who a provider is and what they practice, and it holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information whatsoever. A practice that claims its listing can supply all of that, which is why claimed listings are worth more than unclaimed ones.
In the meantime, ask on the phone. Give your plan name in full rather than just the insurer, since one insurer often runs several networks with different participating practices. An out of network practice may still submit your claim, but the difference falls to you.
Specialist treatment is where estimates matter most. Before oral surgery, orthodontics or restorative work, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes, and check whether the specialist fee and any sedation or anesthesia fee are billed separately.
If it is urgent
Call at opening and say plainly that it is an emergency. Everything being on France Ave S means that once someone can see you, getting there is simple, though remember that only 17 of these listings are general practices.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital straight away 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 alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from your mouth will not stop.
If the street cannot help, dentist directory searches by distance rather than by neighborhood, and will bring in Southdale, 1.1 miles away with 79 listings, in the same results.

How many dentists are listed in Parklawn, Edina?
Forty four practices, out of 224 across Edina. Only 17 include general dentistry. Eleven include pediatric dentistry and ten include oral and maxillofacial surgery. All 44 give a France Ave S address within ZIP code 55435, so the whole neighborhood is on one road.
Is Parklawn a good place to find a children's dentist?
Yes. Eleven of the 44 listings include pediatric dentistry, which is a high number for one street. That lets you compare several practices on appointment availability and approach rather than accepting the only one nearby. Four orthodontic listings sit on the same road.
Where do I go for a root canal near Parklawn?
