What is listed in the Stewart Avenue District
N 17th Ave carries the most listings with 29, half the district. Stewart Ave has 10, Westhill Dr has 5, Corporate Dr has 5 and S 24th Ave has 3. A single avenue therefore holds most of the dentistry here, which makes comparing practices in person straightforward.
One ZIP code, 54401, covers the whole district. Thirty-nine listings are registered to individual practitioners and 19 to organizations. Thirty-one have been on the register since before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2006, so more than half these practices have held their address for well over a decade.
- N 17th Ave: 29 practices
- Stewart Ave: 10 practices
- Westhill Dr and Corporate Dr: 5 each
- S 24th Ave: 3 practices
- ZIP code covered: 54401
Choosing between them
Thirteen pediatric dentistry listings out of 58 is a striking proportion for a city of this size, and it means families have real choice rather than one option. Seven oral and maxillofacial surgeons is equally notable, so wisdom teeth, surgical extractions and implant placement can all be handled without leaving the district.
For adults wanting a regular dentist, the working pool is the 28 general dentistry listings. Ask whether they are accepting new patients, whether they are in network with your plan, and how far ahead exams and hygiene appointments are booked. The 31 long registered practices are worth a look if continuity matters to you.
The split of 39 individual registrations against 19 organizations also gives you a choice of style. A solo practice usually means the same dentist every visit, while a group practice usually has more appointment slots and better cover during vacations.
Specialists are here too
Our data records no specialty as missing from this district, which is rare for a small city. Endodontics has four listings, prosthodontics two, orthodontics two and periodontics one, alongside the pediatric and oral surgery practices. There is also an orofacial pain listing, a category most cities lack entirely. Where a specialty has only one or two listings, check availability early.
The surrounding neighborhoods are small by comparison. East Riverfront District lists 12 practices at 1.7 miles and East Towne 8 at 1.9 miles. River District has 7 at 1.6 miles, Grant and Athletic Park 4 each at 0.7 and 1.8 miles, and Westies 3 at 1.1 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network and out of network is the split that decides most bills. In network means the fee was agreed with your insurer in advance. Out of network means the practice sets its own price and your plan reimburses part of it, or nothing. Ask when you book rather than at the counter afterward.
For anything beyond an exam and clean, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes, the total and your expected share. Surgical and orthodontic work should be quoted in full, including any follow up appointments that are billed separately.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. None of the 58 listings in this district has a published website or published hours in the record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice adds those details to this page.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, work along N 17th Ave from opening time, then Stewart Ave. With 28 general dentists inside one ZIP code, a short round of calls covers most of the district, and being close by makes you the obvious person to fill a cancellation.
Some symptoms mean an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is becoming difficult, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If nothing here can see you, search outward by distance at dentist directory.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in the Stewart Avenue District?
Fifty-eight practices, all inside ZIP code 54401, from a Wausau total of 119. Twenty-eight are recorded as general dentistry, and the directory also lists 13 pediatric dentists, seven oral and maxillofacial surgeons, four endodontists, two prosthodontists, two orthodontists, one periodontist and three further listings.
Is this a good area for children's dentistry?
By the numbers, yes. Thirteen of the 58 listings are pediatric dentistry, which is a high proportion anywhere and unusual in a city that lists 119 practices in total. Most of the district's dentistry sits on N 17th Ave and Stewart Ave, so comparing more than one practice is easy.
Do I have to leave the district for specialist care?
Usually not. Our data records no specialty as missing here, including endodontics with four listings, oral and maxillofacial surgery with seven, prosthodontics and orthodontics with two each and periodontics with one. Where only one or two practices cover a specialty, ask for a referral early rather than assuming availability.
