Twenty-four listings are registered under general dentistry, with two oral pathology and one each in periodontics, dental anesthesiology, endodontics, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and dental clinic. Practices can hold more than one registration, so those numbers add to more than 30.
What is listed in Foothill / Sunnyside
S Wakara Way has 11 listings, Foothill Blvd nine and Foothill Dr five, with two more on a street recorded as both South 2100 East and S 2100 E, which are the same road written two ways.
Twenty-nine of the 30 listings are registered as individual practitioners and only one as an organization. That, together with the presence of oral pathology and dental anesthesiology registrations, is more typical of clinicians attached to a larger facility than of a row of independent neighborhood practices.
Only 12 of the 30 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2006. That is a lower proportion than most neighborhoods, so if you want a practice with a long history at one address, ask about it directly when you call.

How to choose between them
For routine care there are 24 general listings, which is a reasonable choice. Because three ZIP codes are involved, check the street as well as the name so you know what you are actually traveling to, then call two or three.
Ask whether they are accepting new patients, whether a referral is needed, which plans they are in network with, what a first exam and X-rays cost without insurance, and how far ahead they book. Ask whether you will see the same dentist each time, which is worth confirming anywhere many clinicians are registered close together.
If you have been referred for something uncommon, note that oral pathology and dental anesthesiology are registered here. Those are fields most neighborhoods do not cover at all.
If you need something this area does not have
Two specialties are missing. Pediatric dentistry is nearest elsewhere in Salt Lake City, about 3.5 miles away, where 39 practices are registered, which is a wide choice. Prosthodontics is the same distance with six listings. Both trips head back toward the middle of the city.
Neighboring areas add general options. Sugar House has 53 listings 2.3 miles away and East Central 44 at 1.9 miles, which are the two largest clusters within reach. Central City has 18 at 2.5 miles and Sunnyside East 12 at 1.0 miles, while East Liberty Park and 9th and 9th have three each at around two miles.
Insurance and paying
In network means a provider has agreed set fees with your insurer, so your share of the bill is lower and predictable. Out of network is about pricing rather than quality, and it can mean paying more or paying first and claiming back. Confirm coverage with the insurer as well as the practice before your first appointment.
For anything beyond an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate itemizing each procedure with the expected plan payment and your share. Our listings are built from registry data that carries no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, and none of the 30 listings here has been claimed. Claiming a listing is how a practice publishes those details itself.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that will not settle, call the general practices on Foothill Blvd and S Wakara Way and ask directly whether you can be seen today. Ask how urgent cases are handled, since arrangements differ between small practices and larger shared facilities.
Go to an emergency room rather than a dentist 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.
If nothing nearby has room, dentist directory lets you search by distance instead of by neighborhood, which reaches Sugar House and East Central within a couple of miles.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Foothill / Sunnyside?
Thirty dental practices are listed with addresses here, across ZIP codes 84108, 84148 and 84113. Twenty-four are registered under general dentistry, with two oral pathology listings and one each in periodontics, dental anesthesiology, endodontics, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and dental clinic.
Is there a pediatric dentist in the neighborhood?
No listing here is registered under pediatric dentistry. The nearest are elsewhere in Salt Lake City, about 3.5 miles away, where 39 pediatric practices appear. Many of the 24 general dentists in this area also see children, so ask when you call rather than assuming you need to travel.
Why are almost all the listings individual practitioners?
Twenty-nine of the 30 listings are registered as individual practitioners and one as an organization. That pattern, along with registrations in oral pathology and dental anesthesiology, usually indicates clinicians attached to a larger facility rather than a street of independent practices. Ask what kind of setting it is when you call.
