What is listed in University
Delaware St SE carries 196 listings, with 8 more recorded as Delaware St. SE. The University of Minnesota School of Dentistry is on that street, and 253 of the 265 listings in this neighborhood are registered to individual practitioners rather than organizations. In other words, most of these entries are individual dentists at institutional addresses, not 265 separate offices.
The remaining streets are more conventional. 24th Ave S has 20 listings, 25th Ave S has 15 and Church St SE has 9. Two ZIP codes cover the area, 55455 and 55454. Eighty-nine listings have been on the register since before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2005.

Choosing between them
Because so many listings share a small number of addresses, always call before traveling. Confirm that the address takes appointments from the public, that they are accepting new patients, and what the arrangement is if treatment runs across several visits. A listing here names a registered dentist, not necessarily a separate practice with its own reception.
If you want a conventional neighborhood dental office, look first at the listings on 24th Ave S and 25th Ave S, which together account for 35 practices, and at the surrounding neighborhoods. If you are content with a larger institutional setting, the 140 general dentistry listings here give you a very wide pool.
Specialists and nearby options
Our data records no specialty as missing from this neighborhood, and the depth is unusual. Prosthodontics has 29 listings, oral and maxillofacial surgery 25, orthodontics 24, periodontics 18 and pediatric dentistry 17. There are also 10 orofacial pain listings, which is a category most cities do not have at all, and three in oral pathology.
For an ordinary local practice, the neighbors are small but close. Stadium Village lists 6 practices at 0.2 miles, Cedar-Riverside 9 at 0.5 miles and Seward 6 at 0.7 miles. Further out, Ventura Village has 14 at 1.2 miles, Elliot Park 25 at 1.5 miles and Phillips 4 at 1.5 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network means your insurer has agreed the fee in advance and you pay the agreed share. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan reimburses part of it, or none. Ask before treatment starts, and ask specifically how a course of care spread over several appointments will be billed.
Request a written estimate with procedure codes, the total and your expected share for anything beyond an exam and clean. Where more than one clinician is involved, ask for the whole plan to be quoted rather than the first visit.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 265 listings in this neighborhood has a published website or published hours in the record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is the only way a practice can publish those details here.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, telephone rather than turn up, because so many of these listings share addresses. If you need a conventional practice quickly, Elliot Park at 1.5 miles with 25 listings and Cedar-Riverside at 0.5 miles with 9 are the nearest options outside the neighborhood.
Some symptoms need 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 with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
To rank practices by distance from your own address, use dentist directory.
Questions patients ask
Why are 265 dentists listed in one Minneapolis neighborhood?
Because 204 of the listings share one street, Delaware St SE, where the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry is located, and 253 of the 265 are registered to individual practitioners rather than organizations. That points to many individually registered dentists at a small number of institutional addresses rather than hundreds of separate offices.
Which specialties are available here?
Our data records none as missing. Prosthodontics has 29 listings, oral and maxillofacial surgery 25, orthodontics 24, periodontics 18, pediatric dentistry 17 and endodontics 7. There are also 10 orofacial pain listings, three in oral pathology and one in oral radiology, which is a wider range than most cities offer anywhere.
Where do I find an ordinary neighborhood dental office?
Look at the 20 listings on 24th Ave S and the 15 on 25th Ave S, which sit away from the main institutional cluster, or at the neighboring areas. Elliot Park lists 25 practices at 1.5 miles, Ventura Village 14 at 1.2 miles and Cedar-Riverside 9 at just 0.5 miles.
