Only two tags appear across all 31 listings, so this is a neighborhood for everyday dentistry rather than specialist treatment. This guide covers what that means and where the gaps are filled.
What is listed in Cascade
27 of the 31 listings are tagged general dentistry and the other 4 are tagged dental clinic. No other specialty appears anywhere in the neighborhood. A listing can carry more than one tag, so those figures overlap slightly.
The addresses are spread out rather than clustered. Lenora St has 4 listings, and 8th Ave, Howell St, Fairview Ave N and E Howell St have 3 each. The rest are scattered across the five ZIP codes, so there is no single street to work down.
15 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 16 as organizations, an almost even split. Only 6 of the 31 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2006, which makes this one of the newer sets of registrations in the directory.

How to choose between them
For a checkup, a filling or a clean, you have 27 general listings to work with. Because they are scattered, start by finding the ones nearest your home or office rather than trying to cover a street.
Ask what each practice does in house. In a neighborhood with no specialist listings at all, the difference between a general dentist who handles root canals and simple extractions and one who refers everything out will decide how often you travel.
2 of the 31 listings have published a website with us and 1 has published opening hours. For the rest, calling is the only way to find out when they open, what they charge and whether they are taking new patients.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Six specialties have no listing in Cascade: orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and prosthodontics. For all six, our nearest listings are elsewhere in Seattle, about 0.9 miles away, where the counts are large: 79 orthodontics, 60 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 57 pediatric dentistry, 52 periodontics, 48 endodontics and 45 prosthodontics practices.

First Hill has 62 at 0.8 miles, Belltown has 39 at 0.6 miles, Capitol Hill has 34 at 0.8 miles and West Edge has 14 at 0.9 miles. Nothing you need is far.

Insurance and paying
Our registry holds no fees and no insurance information, and hours only where a practice has published them, which here is 1 listing out of 31. None of the 31 has been claimed by its owner, so cost and coverage questions have to go to the practice.
Ask whether they are in network with your specific plan rather than with your insurer as a whole. In network normally means a rate agreed in advance. Out of network can still work if your plan pays a share, but more of the bill is yours.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes on it. Since specialist treatment means going elsewhere in Seattle, ask the network question again wherever you are referred.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices nearest you and ask directly whether they hold same day emergency slots. With 27 general listings in Cascade and 174 more in the Central Business District less than half a mile away, there is a lot to call through.
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 have trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
Because the Cascade listings are scattered across five ZIP codes, dentist directory is particularly useful here: it orders practices by how far they are from where you are.
