The most striking thing in the data is the concentration: practically every practice is on one road. Everything below comes from the practice registry rather than from any impression of the area.
What is listed in Sunnyside
Twenty one of the 34 listings are general dentistry, a lower share than most neighborhoods. Six are pediatric dentists, which is a strong showing for children's care, and there are three oral and maxillofacial surgery practices, three periodontists and one endodontist, plus three dental clinics.
Thirty three of the listings are on SE Sunnyside Rd, with one more recorded under SE Sunnyside Road written in full, which is the same street entered a second way in the registry. There is no other street with a dental listing in the neighborhood. That makes it easy to compare practices in person, but it also means the building or suite number is the only thing distinguishing one address from the next.
Twenty five listings are registered as individual practitioners and nine as organizations. Twenty one have been registered since before 2010, and the oldest registration in Sunnyside dates to 2005. None of the 34 has published a website or opening hours through this directory, and none has been claimed by its owner.
How to choose between them
Because everything is on one road, location cannot separate these practices for you. Use the specialty mix instead. Six pediatric dentists in 34 practices means families have real choice, and three oral surgeons and three periodontists means implant and extraction work can usually be done locally.
For routine care, the pool is 21 general dentists. Call several and ask the same questions: are you taking new patients, are you in network with my plan, when could I be seen, and what do you handle in house. Ask for the suite number as well, since a street name alone will not get you to the right door here.
- One endodontist serves the whole neighborhood. Root canal treatment is available locally but may involve a wait.
- Nine listings are organizations. Ask whether you would see the same dentist at each visit.
- Three dental clinic listings sit alongside private practices, so ask what services each one offers.
If you need something Sunnyside does not have
Two specialties are missing: orthodontics and prosthodontics. Both are available in Happy Valley, only about 0.6 miles away, though the numbers there are small, with one orthodontic practice and three prosthodontic practices listed. If you need braces or aligners, it is worth widening the search further than that single listing.
The nearby neighborhoods are all small. Mather View has 12 practices 1.1 miles away, Harmony has eight at 0.7 miles and Willingham Heights has four at 0.6 miles. Sunnyside itself holds far more listings than any of them, so for most needs you are already in the largest cluster in the area.
Insurance and paying
Our listings come from the national practice registry, which records the practice, the address and the specialty. It contains no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, so this page cannot tell you what treatment costs or which plans are accepted. Claiming a listing is the only way an owner can publish those details here, and none of the 34 in Sunnyside has been claimed.
That means checking by phone. Ask the practice whether they are in network for your exact plan and confirm the same with your insurer, since the answer can differ between plans from one insurer. For anything beyond an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes on it, and for implant work ask whether the surgical and restorative stages are quoted separately.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that will not ease, work down the general practices on SE Sunnyside Rd and ask each whether they hold same day emergency appointments. Three oral surgery practices are listed here if the tooth needs to come out. You can also search by distance from your location at dentist directory.
Some symptoms need an emergency room instead of a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you are struggling to breathe or swallow, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are in Sunnyside, Clackamas?
Thirty four dental practices are listed in Sunnyside, out of 81 across Clackamas. Twenty one are general dentistry, six are pediatric dentists, three are oral and maxillofacial surgery practices, three are periodontists, one is an endodontist and three are dental clinics.
Are all Sunnyside dentists on the same street?
Effectively yes. Thirty three of the 34 listings are on SE Sunnyside Rd, and the remaining one is the same road recorded under its full spelling. No other street in the neighborhood has a dental listing, so always take the suite number when booking.
Is there an orthodontist in Sunnyside?
No orthodontist is listed in the neighborhood. The nearest is in Happy Valley, about 0.6 miles away, where a single orthodontic practice is listed. Given that, it is worth searching a wider area before settling on one option for braces or aligners.
