The list is dominated by general practice, with 43 of the 53 reporting general dentistry, and it is concentrated: 29 listings are on S 1300 E alone.
What is listed in Sugar House
Forty-three of the 53 listings report general dentistry as their primary specialty and 1 is registered as a dental clinic. Beyond that there are 3 in periodontics, 3 in orthodontics, 2 in endodontics and 1 in pediatric dentistry.
S 1300 E carries 29 listings, more than half the neighborhood total. S Highland Dr and S 1200 E have 6 each, E 2100 S has 5 and S 700 E has 2.
Forty listings are registered to an individual dentist and only 13 to an organization, a strong tilt toward named practices rather than groups. Twenty-six of the 53 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2006.
How to choose between them
With 43 general dentists listed, routine care is easy to arrange locally. Because so many share one street, the useful filters are in network status with your plan, how far ahead they book, and whether they handle their own emergencies.
Specialist coverage is thin, so ask about referrals early. Periodontics and orthodontics have 3 listings each and endodontics 2, which is enough for a first appointment but not much choice. Pediatric dentistry has a single listing.
The heavy tilt toward individual registrations suggests many single-dentist practices. That usually means seeing the same person each visit. Ask what happens if you have an urgent problem while that dentist is away.
- Ask whether root canals are done in house or referred.
- Ask who covers urgent problems when the dentist is away.
- Check the block on S 1300 E, since it holds over half the listings.
If you need something Sugar House does not have
Two specialties have no listing here. For oral and maxillofacial surgery, covering wisdom teeth, complex extractions and implant placement, the nearest cluster is elsewhere in Salt Lake City, about 1.4 miles away, where 26 practices are listed. For prosthodontics, the nearest is also elsewhere in the city at 1.4 miles, with 6 listings.
Both are short trips with reasonable choice at the end of them, so these gaps are minor in practice. Many general dentists also carry out simple extractions and crown or denture work themselves, so ask yours before assuming a referral is needed.
Nearby neighborhoods are mostly small. East Liberty Park is 1.0 miles away with 3 listings and Liberty Wells 1.1 miles with 4. Windsor Circle has 5 at 1.6 miles, 9th & 9th 3 at 1.8 miles, Sunnyside East 12 at 1.9 miles and Canyon Rim 18 at 2.3 miles.
Insurance and paying
Ask whether a practice is in network with your specific plan, not just whether it accepts your insurer. That single answer usually matters more to your bill than anything else you can check in advance.
For anything beyond an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate listing each procedure code, the practice's fee, what the plan is expected to pay and your share. Ask before treatment starts rather than after.
Our listings come from the national provider registry, which records name, address and reported specialty only. It holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. In Sugar House, none of the 53 listings has a published website or published hours. That is why claimed listings matter: claiming a page is how a practice adds what the registry never held.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices nearest you and ask specifically whether they keep same day slots. With 43 general dentists listed and 29 of them on S 1300 E, you can work through several numbers quickly.
Go to an emergency room rather than a dentist if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you have any trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop under steady pressure.
If nothing local can fit you in, search by distance from your location at dentist directory.
