This guide is built from the registry data behind those listings, which records addresses, ZIP codes, provider type and registration dates. It has no reviews or rankings. What it can do is tell you what is genuinely nearby and which specialties mean a trip north.
What is listed in Maple Leaf
The 43 listings fall across two ZIP codes, 98115 and 98125, and one street dominates. 3rd Ave NE has 25 of them. 5th Ave NE has 6, Roosevelt Way NE has 5, 4th Ave NE has 2 and NE 98th St has 1.
Twenty eight listings are registered to individual practitioners and 15 to organizations. The names run from Andrew F Heidergott, DDS to Allen D Colic, DDS, MSD, where the additional degree usually signals specialist training. That split reflects how the registration is held rather than the size of the practice.
Twenty six of the 43 were registered before 2010, and the oldest goes back to 2005. So about 60 percent have held the same registration at the same address for fifteen years or more.

How to choose between them
Five endodontic listings in a neighborhood of 43 is unusually good coverage. If you are told you need a root canal, having several specialists locally means you can ask about waiting times at more than one, rather than taking whichever appointment appears first.
For routine care there are 31 general dentistry listings, most of them on 3rd Ave NE, so location will not separate them. Ask whether you see the same dentist each visit, how far ahead cleanings are booked, and whether the practice distinguishes urgent treatment from work that can wait.
Pediatric dentistry and periodontics have 2 listings each, which is thin, so call early if you need either. None of the 43 publish a website or opening hours in the registry, so confirm availability and network status by phone.
If you need something Maple Leaf does not have
Three specialties have no listing here: orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and prosthodontics. All three point to Shoreline, about 3.2 miles away, where there are 18 orthodontic listings and 6 each in oral surgery and prosthodontics. One trip covers whichever you need.
For general care the nearby neighborhoods add plenty. Northgate has 49 practices at just 0.7 miles, more than Maple Leaf itself, and Greenwood has 20 at 1.5 miles. Roosevelt has 14 at 1.7 miles, Licton Springs 11 at 1.1, Green Lake 10 at 1.1 and Victory Heights 8 at 1.1.
Insurance and paying
Network status is the biggest variable in the bill. In network means the practice has agreed rates with your plan, so your share comes off a discounted fee. Out of network means no agreement, and the difference between the fee charged and what your plan allows may fall to you.
Root canal treatment often runs across more than one appointment, so ask for a written estimate with procedure codes covering the whole course, including any crown that follows, and have your plan pre authorize it.
These listings come from a federal provider registry that records names, addresses, credentials and specialty codes. It holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance networks. That is why claimed listings matter, since claiming is how a practice publishes those details itself. None of the 43 in Maple Leaf have been claimed yet.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost crown or filling, or pain that is worsening, call the general dentistry listings on 3rd Ave NE and Roosevelt Way NE and ask directly for same day care. Having 5 endodontic listings locally helps if the pain turns out to be a tooth that needs a root canal. No hours are published, so you will be calling.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to the ER if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if breathing or swallowing is becoming difficult, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
If nothing local can help today, search by distance at dentist directory rather than by neighborhood.
