The recorded specialties are 36 general dentistry listings, 8 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 3 pediatric dentistry, 3 orthodontics, and one each in endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics and dental clinics. Eight oral surgery listings is a striking number for a neighborhood this size.
What is listed in Stadium Heights
Two roads carry nearly the whole list. N Duke St has 21 listings with one more under a longer spelling, and N Roxboro St has 18 with one further variant. Newsom St has 4, and the rest sit at other addresses inside ZIP 27704.
Thirty four of the listings are individual practitioners registered under their own name and 15 are organizations, meaning a practice entity, group or clinic. Twenty three of the 49 have been on the federal register since before 2010 and the oldest registration here dates to 2005, so the list mixes long standing offices with newer entities.

How to choose between them
For routine care the 36 general dentistry listings give plenty of choice, and because they sit on two roads you can compare several without much driving. Filter on plan coverage, on how soon a new patient can be seen, and on which road is on your usual route.
The 8 oral surgery listings mean wisdom teeth, surgical extractions and implant placement are all well covered locally, and you can reasonably seek a second opinion without leaving the neighborhood.
Endodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics each have a single listing here. The specialty exists locally, but availability rather than distance may decide where you end up, so ask early.
If you need something Stadium Heights does not have
No specialty we track is missing outright, which is unusual. Every category has at least one listing in the neighborhood, so most referrals can stay inside ZIP 27704.
The practical caveat is depth. With one endodontic, one periodontic and one prosthodontic listing, a single practice cannot always fit you in quickly. Nearby areas add more general capacity: Hillandale Commons has 20 listed practices 2.3 miles away, West Murray / Broad has 16 at 0.8 miles, Holston Meadows has 9 at 1.8 miles, Walltown has 8 at 2.1 miles, Old Farm has 5 at 1.5 miles and River Forest has 4 at 2.1 miles.
Ask that x rays and notes go ahead with any referral so imaging is not repeated.
Insurance and paying
In network means a 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 often pay the difference. It is a billing arrangement, not a quality rating, and it can vary between two plans from the same insurer.
Before any work beyond a routine exam, ask for a written estimate listing procedure codes, the practice fee, the expected insurance payment and your share. Surgical work in particular is worth pricing in writing first.
Our listings come from the federal provider registry, which records 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 opens. None of the 49 Stadium Heights listings currently publishes hours or a website with us, and none has been claimed by its owner.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call early and say plainly that you need same day care. With 36 general listings on two main roads and 8 oral surgery listings if a tooth has to come out, this neighborhood is unusually well set up for urgent problems.
Some symptoms mean an emergency room rather than a dental chair: swelling spreading toward your eye or down your neck, trouble 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.
