This guide uses only the registry data behind those listings, which records addresses, ZIP codes, provider type and registration dates. It does not rank practices. What it can do is show you what is genuinely nearby and the single gap you would travel for.
What is listed in the Woodfield Microhood
The 50 listings span three ZIP codes, 97405, 97408 and 97401, which is more than most neighborhoods this size. Willamette St is the main concentration with 25, or 26 counting one entry that carries a building number in the street field. E 22nd Ave has 12 once you include the entry filed as E 22nd Avenue, and Hilyard St has 1.
Thirty listings are registered to individual practitioners and 20 to organizations. Some dentists appear under both forms, as with Anthony J Elford, DDS and Anthony J. Elford DDS PC, so the listing total runs a little ahead of the number of separate offices.
Thirty of the 50 were registered before 2010, and the oldest goes back to 2005. So 60 percent have held the same registration at the same address for fifteen years or more.

How to choose between them
For families this is a reasonable mix. Four pediatric dentistry listings and four orthodontic mean children's checkups and braces both have more than one local option, which matters when treatment runs across years rather than a single appointment.
For routine care there are 33 general dentistry listings plus 5 clinics. Since half the neighborhood is on Willamette St, location will not narrow the list much. Ask whether you see the same dentist each visit, how far ahead cleanings are booked, and whether the practice separates urgent treatment from what can wait.
Periodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery have a single listing each, so those are worth calling early rather than assuming availability. None of the 50 have a website or opening hours in the registry, so all of this is a phone conversation.
If you need something this area does not have
Only one specialty has no listing here: prosthodontics, which covers complex restorative and implant work. The nearest listings are elsewhere in Eugene, about 2 miles away, where there are 4 practices. That is a short trip, though a small pool, so ask your dentist for more than one name.
For general care the nearby neighborhoods add real capacity. Whiteaker has 44 practices at 2.2 miles and River Edge Public Plaza has 37 at 1.8 miles, both close to matching this neighborhood on their own. College Hill has 9 at 0.6 miles, Santa Clara 11 at 5 miles and River Road 5 at 4.4.
Insurance and paying
Network status is what moves the bill. In network means the practice has agreed rates with your plan, so your share is calculated from a discounted fee. Out of network means no agreement, and you may owe the difference between the fee charged and what your plan considers allowable.
For anything past an exam and cleaning, and for orthodontics in particular, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes covering the whole course of treatment, and have your plan pre authorize it.
These listings come from a federal provider registry recording names, addresses, credentials and specialty codes. It holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance networks. That is why claimed listings matter, since claiming is how a practice publishes those details itself. None of the 50 here have been claimed yet.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost crown or filling, or pain that is worsening, call the general dentistry listings on Willamette St and E 22nd Ave and ask directly for same day care. With 33 general listings in a small area the odds are decent, but no hours are published, so you will be working down the list by phone.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to the ER if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, if there is fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop after an extraction or injury.
If nothing local can help today, search outward by distance at dentist directory.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are in the Woodfield Microhood?
There are 50 dental practices listed, out of 321 across Eugene. Thirty three are general dentistry. The rest are 5 dental clinics, 4 orthodontists, 4 pediatric dentists, 2 endodontists, one periodontist, one oral and maxillofacial surgeon and one dental public health listing, spread across ZIP codes 97405, 97408 and 97401.
Where are most of these dentists located?
Willamette St holds about half of them, 26 of the 50 listings. E 22nd Ave has 12 more once the entry recorded as E 22nd Avenue is counted with it, and Hilyard St has one. Since so many share a street, compare practices on how they run rather than on location.
Is there a prosthodontist nearby?
Not in the neighborhood itself. Prosthodontics is the one specialty with no listing here. The nearest are elsewhere in Eugene, about 2 miles away, where 4 practices are listed. That is a short trip, but a small pool, so it is worth asking your dentist for more than one referral.
