The concentration is striking: 41 of the 53 listings are on 116th Ave NE. The specialist coverage is also better than the neighborhood's size would suggest, with 5 endodontists and 3 each in periodontics and prosthodontics.
What is listed in the Spring District
Thirty-six of the 53 listings report general dentistry as their primary specialty and 4 more are registered as dental clinics. Alongside them are 5 in endodontics, 3 in periodontics, 3 in prosthodontics, 2 in oral and maxillofacial surgery and 1 in orthodontics.
116th Ave NE carries 41 listings, with 2 more recorded under slightly different spellings of the same street. NE 10th Pl has 4 and 130th Ave NE has 3. That means most of the neighborhood's dental care is on one avenue.
The split between individual and organization listings is nearly even at 28 and 25. Twenty-eight of the 53 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2005.
How to choose between them
For routine care you are choosing among 36 general dentists and 4 clinics. Since almost all share one avenue, look at other things: whether they are in network with your plan, how quickly a new patient is seen, and whether they keep time for emergencies.
The near even split between individual and organization listings means both kinds of practice are here. A named single dentist usually means you see the same person each visit. A group may offer more appointment times but less continuity. Ask which you are calling.
Specialist depth is a real advantage. With 5 endodontists and 3 prosthodontists listed, root canal treatment and complex restorative work can be compared locally, and for expensive treatment a second opinion is worth getting.
- Ask whether you will see the same dentist at each visit.
- For implants or dentures, get two written treatment plans.
- Check the building and suite, since one avenue holds most of the list.
If you need something the Spring District does not have
Pediatric dentistry is the one specialty with no listing here. The nearest are elsewhere in Bellevue, about 1.4 miles away, where 29 pediatric dental practices are registered, so there is plenty of choice a short distance away.
Many general dentists see children as part of family practice, so ask a local general dentist before assuming you need a specialist.
The neighborhoods around here are large. Ashwood, Midlakes and Northup are each 0.5 miles away with 54, 71 and 16 listings. Moorland has 24 at 1.4 miles, Bellacre 45 at 1.6 miles and Crossroads 34 at 2.3 miles. Few patients have that much choice within half a mile.
Insurance and paying
Ask whether a practice is in network with your specific plan, not just whether it accepts your insurer. With this many practices nearby, comparing in network options is the most direct way to control what you pay.
For anything beyond an exam and cleaning, and especially for prosthodontic or surgical work, ask for a written estimate listing each procedure code, the practice's fee, the expected insurance payment and your share. Ask before treatment starts.
Our listings come from the national provider registry, which records name, address and reported specialty only, with no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. In the Spring District, none of the 53 listings has a published website or published hours. That is why claimed listings matter: claiming a page lets a practice add what the registry never held.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a crown that has come off, or pain that is keeping you awake, call the general practices nearest you and ask specifically whether they hold same day slots. With 36 general dentists, 4 clinics and 5 endodontists listed, and most of them on one avenue, 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 with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop under steady pressure.
If nothing nearby can see you, search by distance from where you are at dentist directory.
