The great majority of it is general practice, and the specialties that are missing are all very close by. This guide reports only the registry records: counts, specialties, streets and the ZIP code. Fees, hours and insurance are not held in that data.

How to choose between them
Forty-five general dentistry listings inside one ZIP code is a large field, so you can be selective. 194th St SW alone gives you 25 to compare, and adding 196th St SW and 198th St SW brings that to 43.
Since specialist coverage is thin, ask each practice what they handle themselves. Root canals, simple extractions and denture work are often done in general practice, and in Cedar Valley the answer determines how many separate trips a course of treatment takes.
The 3 pediatric dentistry listings and single orthodontics listing mean families have some local option but little choice. Periodontics has 2. With 35 of the 53 registered as individual practitioners, small practices dominate, though the 18 organizations and 4 clinics are the better first calls for short notice appointments.
If you need something Cedar Valley does not have
Three specialties are missing, and all three are only about 0.7 miles away elsewhere in Lynnwood. Endodontics is the best supplied, with 12 practices recorded. Oral and maxillofacial surgery has 5. Prosthodontics has just one.
At under a mile, the first two are not a practical problem. Prosthodontics is, because a single practice covering the whole city means availability may be limited. If you need complex crown, bridge or denture work, ask the general dentists here what they do in house before you plan around that one listing.
For more general dentists nearby, Seattle Heights is 1.3 miles away with 41 practices. Martha Lake has 16 at 2.8 miles, and Beverly Acres and Larch Way have 8 each at 1.8 and 2.7 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network is the difference that decides most of your bill. In network means the practice and your insurer have agreed rates and your share is set in advance. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and the plan pays part of it, or nothing.
Confirm network status with your insurer rather than the practice, then ask for a written estimate before treatment begins. It should list the procedure codes, the fee for each, the expected insurance payment and your balance. With 45 general practices here, a second estimate is easy to get.
Our listings are built from public registry data. That registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information for any practice. In Cedar Valley, none of the 53 listings has a published website or published hours on record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice supplies what the registry never held.
If it is urgent
For a cracked tooth, a lost filling or pain that painkillers are not managing, call the general dentists on 194th St SW and 196th St SW and ask outright for a same day appointment. With this many practices in one place, working through a list is quick.
Certain symptoms need a hospital emergency room rather than a dentist. Go there if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if breathing or swallowing has become difficult, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
If nothing in 98036 is available, search by distance at dentist directory and try Seattle Heights, 1.3 miles away with 41 listings.
