Most of it sits on a single street, which makes comparing straightforward. This guide reports only what the registry records hold: counts, specialties, streets and the ZIP code. Fees, hours and insurance are not part of that data.
What is listed in Old Worthington
Twenty-nine of the 44 listings are general dentistry. The rest are 5 in oral and maxillofacial surgery, 5 in endodontics, 3 in orthodontics, one in pediatric dentistry and one dental clinic.
Five endodontics practices in a neighborhood of 44 is generous. Specialist root canal treatment is something many neighborhoods have no local option for at all.
High St dominates. Combining the spellings the registry uses, N High St, High St, High Street and North High Street together account for 39 of the 44 listings, with E North St holding 4 more. Every listing falls inside ZIP code 43085. Thirty-two are registered as individual practitioners and 12 as organizations, and 28 have been registered since before 2010, with the earliest dating to 2006.
- 44 practices, 29 of them general dentistry
- 5 endodontics and 5 oral surgery listings
- 39 of the 44 on High St, across four spellings
- One ZIP code, 43085
How to choose between them
When 39 practices share a street, distance stops being a way to choose. Availability and what a practice handles itself are the useful filters.
For routine care the 29 general dentists are the shortlist, and 28 of the neighborhood's 44 listings have been registered for fifteen years or more, so long standing practices are easy to find.
Specialist coverage is good on the surgical and endodontic side, with 5 listings each, and thinner elsewhere. Orthodontics has 3 and pediatric dentistry has one. If you need a specialist children's dentist, that single listing is worth calling early rather than late. With 32 of the 44 registered as individual practitioners, most of these are small practices where the dentist who examines you does the treatment.
If you need something Old Worthington does not have
Two specialties are missing, and both are unusually close. Periodontics, for gum disease and gum surgery, has its nearest listings about 0.2 miles away elsewhere in Worthington, where 3 practices are recorded. Prosthodontics is the same distance, with 6 practices listed.
At two tenths of a mile, those are effectively on your doorstep, so the absence is a boundary technicality rather than a practical gap. A referral from your general dentist will normally take you straight there.
Nearby neighborhoods add little. The French Quarter is 0.8 miles away with 9 practices and is the only adjacent neighborhood in our records with its own listings. With 44 practices locally and 98 across Worthington, this neighborhood is where most of the town's dentistry already is.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network is the difference that shows up on the bill. In network means the practice and your insurer have agreed rates and your share is fixed in advance. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan covers part of it, or nothing.
Confirm network status with your insurer rather than relying on the practice, then ask for a written estimate before treatment begins. It should list the procedure codes, the fee for each, the expected insurance payment and your balance on the day.
Our listings are built from public registry data. That registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information for any practice. In Old Worthington, none of the 44 listings has a published website or published hours on record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice adds what the registry never held, which is why claimed listings tell you more.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that painkillers are not managing, call the general dentists on High St and ask outright for a same day appointment. With 39 listings on one street, working through a list takes very little time.
Some symptoms need a hospital emergency room instead of a dentist. Go there 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 will not stop.
If nothing in 43085 is available, search by distance at dentist directory to pick up practices further out across Worthington.
