How to choose between them
With 21 general dentistry listings the choice is manageable rather than overwhelming. Compare on plan coverage, on how soon a new patient can be seen, and on whether the office is on a route you already travel.
Families have real choice here. Five pediatric listings and 2 orthodontic listings mean children's care and braces can both stay local, which is not true of every neighborhood this size.
Because the list is dominated by individual practitioners, ask who covers when your dentist is away and how urgent problems are handled on those days. Also ask what a new patient exam includes and whether x rays are part of the fee.
If you need something Russellville does not have
Only prosthodontics is missing entirely, covering complex dentures, full mouth reconstruction and difficult implant restorations. The nearest listings are elsewhere in Portland, about 4.5 miles away, where we show 20 practices, so there is a decent pool once you travel.
For more general choice closer to home, Hazelwood has 58 listed practices 1.2 miles away, Gateway has 19 at 0.6 miles, Mill Park has 17 at 1.1 miles, Madison South has 17 at 1.2 miles, Russell has 8 at 1.4 miles and Montavilla has 7 at 1.0 miles.
Ask that your 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 usually pay the difference. It is a billing arrangement, not a quality rating, and it can vary between two plans from the same insurer.
For anything beyond a routine exam, ask for a written estimate showing procedure codes, the practice fee, the expected insurance payment and your share.
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. One of the 34 Russellville listings publishes a website with us, none publishes hours, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice fills that gap.
If it is urgent
For a cracked tooth, a lost crown or pain that has kept you awake, call early and say plainly that you need same day care. With 21 general listings and 2 endodontic listings here, plus 58 practices in Hazelwood just over a mile away, there are options, though small single dentist offices can have less same day flexibility.
Go to an emergency room rather than a dental office if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is difficult, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
You can also search by distance from where you are at dentist directory.
