The recorded specialties are 16 general dentistry listings, 8 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 5 pediatric dentistry, 3 orthodontics and 1 periodontics. Half the neighborhood list is specialist, which is unusual and worth knowing before you start calling.
What is listed in Woodland Hills
Old Sauk Rd carries almost the entire list, with 27 listings recorded there and 2 more under a longer spelling. Tree Ln has 3. That means around 29 of the 32 practices sit on one road, so comparing them in person is easy.
Twenty nine of the listings are individual practitioners registered under their own name and only 3 are organizations, meaning a practice entity, group or clinic. Twenty three of the 32 have been on the federal register since before 2010 and the oldest registration here dates to 2005, so most of this list has been in place for well over a decade.

How to choose between them
Because only 16 of the 32 listings are general dentistry, read the specialty before you call. That is still a reasonable choice for routine care, but this is not a neighborhood where every listing takes ordinary check ups.
The surgical depth is the standout feature. Eight oral and maxillofacial surgery listings means wisdom teeth, surgical extractions and implant placement are unusually well covered, and a second opinion is realistic without traveling.
Families have 5 pediatric and 3 orthodontic listings to consider. For general care, compare on plan coverage, on how soon a new patient can be seen, and ask what a new patient exam includes and whether x rays are part of the fee.
If you need something Woodland Hills does not have
Two specialties are absent. Endodontics has no listing here, and the nearest we show is Middleton, about 1.9 miles away, with just 2 practices. Prosthodontics is also missing, with the nearest 4 listings elsewhere in Madison, about 4.2 miles away.
Because both nearby pools are small, ask about waiting times as soon as a referral is mentioned rather than at the point of treatment. Many general dentists carry out straightforward root canals themselves, so ask locally first.
For more general choice, Oakbridge has 17 listed practices 1.3 miles away, Glen Oak Hills has 17 at 2.0 miles, University Crossing has 5 at 1.7 miles, Sunset Village has 5 at 2.6 miles, and Sauk Creek and Prairie Hills have 3 each within 3 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network means a practice has agreed a contracted fee schedule with your insurer, so you pay the negotiated rate. Out of network means you may still have coverage, but the practice sets its own fee and you often pay the difference. It is a billing arrangement rather than a quality rating, and it can vary between two plans from the same insurer.
Before anything beyond a routine exam, ask for a written estimate listing procedure codes, the practice fee, the expected insurance payment and your share. Surgical and implant work is worth pricing in writing before you agree to it.
Our listings come from the federal provider registry, which records names, addresses, specialties and registration dates. It holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, so this page cannot tell you what a visit costs or when a practice opens. None of the 32 Woodland Hills listings currently publishes hours or a website with us, and none has been claimed by its owner.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call early and say plainly that you need same day care. The general list here is shorter than in many neighborhoods, so be ready to call Oakbridge or Glen Oak Hills as well, though 8 oral surgery listings make an urgent extraction easier to arrange than usual.
Some symptoms mean an emergency room rather than a dentist: swelling spreading toward your eye or down your neck, trouble breathing or swallowing, a fever alongside facial swelling, or bleeding that will not stop.
To search outward by distance rather than by neighborhood, use dentist directory.
