How to choose between them
With most of the neighborhood on one road, distance will not do much to narrow the list. Twenty two general dentists is a reasonable field, so compare on availability and cost: when a new patient can be seen, whether your exact plan is in network, and what a first exam with x rays costs.
Four oral and maxillofacial surgeons is strong for a neighborhood of 31 listings, so surgical referrals should stay local and you can compare rather than take the only option.
Two pediatric dentists is a smaller field. If you are choosing for a child, ask both about age ranges and waiting times, and remember that the neighboring areas are all within a mile.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Four specialties have no listing in Carters Circle: orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics. All four are available elsewhere in Salt Lake City, about 1.6 miles away, where 30 orthodontists, 17 endodontists, 12 periodontists and 6 prosthodontists are listed.
That is a short trip with a wide choice at the other end, so none of these gaps should hold up treatment. Ask your general dentist who they refer to and whether that practice takes your plan.
Closer still, Winder Meadows has 35 listed practices about half a mile away, more than Carters Circle itself. Win Del has 12 at six tenths of a mile, Rustic Acres has 6 at seven tenths, Boulevard has 5 at four tenths, Holladay Heights has 5 at nine tenths and Krista Condominium has 3 at a mile.
Insurance and paying
Our listings come from public registration records, which hold no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. In Carters Circle a single listing has published a website with us and none has published hours, so opening times have to come from a phone call.
Ask whether the practice is in network with your specific plan rather than with the insurer generally. Since several specialties mean a referral out of the neighborhood, ask whether the practices they refer to are usually in network too.
For treatment beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes before it starts and send it to your insurer for a written answer. Practices that claim their listing here can publish hours, prices and insurance participation themselves, which is why claimed listings are worth seeking out.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that will not settle, work along Highland Dr, where the large majority of the neighborhood's listings sit. A short run of calls covers most of your options. Say that you are in pain and can come immediately.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If nothing here is free, search by distance at dentist directory. Winder Meadows is half a mile away with another 35 listings.
