The composition is unlike anywhere else in this batch. Fifty seven of the 59 listings are individual practitioners and only two are organizations, and just 11 were registered before 2010. That is a neighborhood of many individual registrations at a small number of addresses.
What is listed in University Circle
Twenty five of the 59 listings include general dentistry. Fourteen list pediatric dentistry and ten list orthodontics. Four list prosthodontics, four periodontics and two endodontics, with one each for oral radiology, oral pathology, oral and maxillofacial surgery and dental public health. Practices can carry more than one specialty, so the counts overlap.
Euclid Ave accounts for 51 listings under that spelling, with three more written as Euclid Avenue and one with a trailing comma. Chester Ave has three and E 100th St one. There is no meaningful second cluster.
The registration profile is distinctive. Fifty seven listings are individual practitioners against two organizations, and only 11 of the 59 were registered before 2010, with the oldest dating to 2006. Most of these are comparatively recent individual registrations.
How to choose between them
Because so many listings share a small number of addresses on Euclid Ave, the name on the listing is often more useful than the street when you are deciding where to call. Check the specialty on each listing before you dial, since fewer than half are general practices.
For routine care you are choosing among 25 general listings. Ask what a new patient exam with x-rays costs, how quickly an existing patient in pain is seen, and which treatments the practice carries out itself.
Where the neighborhood is deep is children and orthodontics. Fourteen pediatric listings and ten orthodontic listings on effectively one street is a wide choice, and both are treatments that involve repeat visits, so a nearby option saves real time.
The very high share of individual practitioner registrations is worth a question on the phone. Ask who you would actually see, and whether you would see the same person at each visit.
When you need something that is not here
No dental specialty is missing from University Circle in our data. Pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, oral radiology, oral pathology, oral and maxillofacial surgery and dental public health all appear.
Depth is uneven, though. Oral and maxillofacial surgery has a single listing and endodontics only two, so a second opinion in either means looking outside.
East Eighty-Ninth Street Historic District is 0.7 miles away with 78 listings, more than University Circle itself. Uptown is closest at 0.3 miles with 29, and Magnolia-Wade Park Historic District has 16 at 0.5 miles. Buckeye-Woodhill has 23 at 1.5 miles, Cedar Fairmount ten at 1.0 mile and Upper Chester six at 1.2 miles.
Insurance and paying
None of the 59 listings in University Circle has been claimed, and none publishes a website or opening hours through us. The registry these entries come from records who a provider is and what they practice, and it holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information at all. That is the whole reason claimed listings matter: a practice that claims its page can put its own hours, fees and coverage in front of you.
Until then, the phone answers what the page cannot. Give the full name of your plan rather than just the insurer, because insurers commonly run several networks. Out of network practices often still submit claims, but the shortfall is yours.
For orthodontics, surgery or restorative work, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes, and ask whether any sedation or anesthesia charge is billed separately.
If it is urgent
Call at opening and describe the problem in one sentence. With 55 listings on Euclid Ave, and 29 more in Uptown just 0.3 miles away, a same day slot is usually findable close by.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dental appointment. Go to hospital immediately 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 with facial swelling, or if bleeding from your mouth will not stop.
If the neighborhood is booked out, dentist directory searches by distance rather than by neighborhood, which will bring in Uptown, Magnolia-Wade Park and the East Eighty-Ninth Street cluster in one list.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in University Circle?
Fifty nine practices, out of 523 across Cleveland. Twenty five include general dentistry, 14 list pediatric dentistry and ten list orthodontics. Fifty five of the listings give a Euclid Ave address, and all of them are inside ZIP code 44106.
Is University Circle a good place to find a children's dentist?
The listings suggest so. Fourteen of the 59 include pediatric dentistry, one of the higher counts for a neighborhood of this size, and ten list orthodontics. Most are on Euclid Ave, so comparing several without traveling far is realistic. All of the neighborhood's listings fall inside ZIP code 44106.
Why are so many University Circle listings individual practitioners?
Fifty seven of the 59 are registered as individual practitioners rather than organizations, and only 11 were registered before 2010. The registry records individual providers as well as practices, so several names can sit at one address. Ask who you would actually be seeing when you call.
