Wilmington, DE Dentists | 229 Ranked

A Wilmington mailing address can mean different dental journeys

ZIP 19808 accounts for 76 listed Wilmington dental offices. Limestone Road, Milltown Road and Pike Creek addresses give you choices beyond downtown. Pennsylvania Avenue and the streets around Trolley Square offer other starting points. The Wilmington guide to weighing offices puts the treatment and return journey together.

Foulk Road and Silverside Road also appear often in the local listings. An exam can lead to surgery, fitting or checks at another address. The plan should name those places and the dentist who will finish the work. That helps you fit the whole course into your week.

Milltown Road has separate adult and child membership prices

Smile Solutions by Emmi Dental lists its yearly plan at $360 for an adult and $300 for a child under age 12. It includes 2 exams, 2 cleanings and needed films. Other work under the plan gets 15% off. The practice is at 1601 Milltown Road, Suite 25; call 302-999-8113.

The plan excludes whitening and referrals to outside specialists. Payment is made upfront. The second exam and cleaning must be used within the membership year.

Unused visits expire and fees are nonrefundable. For cosmetic care, compare the price of the planned work after the actual discount.

New Linden Hill Road's Gold plan has calendar-year limits

Calhoon's Gold plan costs $400, with 2 exams and 2 cleanings per calendar year. Bitewing films are included once a year; panoramic or full-mouth films have a 5-year interval. Other dental work gets 10% off the full fee. The office is at 4600 New Linden Hill Road, Suite 102, with calls at 302-731-0202.

This plan applies at that practice. It cannot be combined with dental insurance or another reduced-fee plan. A family weighing it against Milltown needs the same visits and work priced under each set of terms. A cosmetic treatment quote should also describe future upkeep.

Downtown dental hygiene and reduced-fee treatment at Delaware Tech

Delaware Tech's Dental Health Center offers public cleaning visits at its George Campus on Orange Street, between Second and Third Streets. New patients start with a dental hygiene student, except for urgent care. Dentist visits after that depend on the patient's income. Calls for visits go to 302-571-5364.

The general public pays 50% of the center's hygiene fee schedule. Reduced fees need a completed form and proof of household income before care. That program includes cleanings, films, fillings and removals. Dentures, crowns, root canals and urgent dentist care fall outside it.

The type of gum care needed affects the visits. The clinic can price those before work begins. A crown or root-canal treatment needs its own quote.

Wilmington Hospital has a resident dental clinic with reduced fees

ChristianaCare offers reduced-fee dental treatment for uninsured and underinsured patients at Wilmington Hospital. Its clinic is at 501 West 14th Street, with dental calls at 302-320-4850. The resident dentists have finished their dental degree. They treat patients under supervision.

The service includes fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, implants and children's care. It covers the stages of care for replacement teeth with implants. The implant estimate still needs the planned work and your cost set out. The reduced fee applies to the actual work proposed.

Westside dental intake works differently for adults and children

Westside Family Healthcare requires adults to be its medical patients before dental care. Children age 1 or older can have dental care without that step. The Fourth Street dental office is at 1802 West Fourth Street. New Castle County dental bookings use 302-224-6800.

Westside offers income- and family-size fee reductions for eligible uninsured patients. Appointments are required. Its dental team provides cleanings, fillings, crowns, removals and referrals for complex care. The child's dental needs and plan for a first visit can be discussed when booking.

Westside uses phone interpreters and video access to American Sign Language interpreters. That help can cover the exam, care choices and home instructions. At Fourth Street, the dental schedule ends at noon on Thursday. The medical center's late hours apply to its own service.

Delaware Medicaid has an adult dental budget and approval rules

Delaware Medicaid's adult dental benefit provides up to $1,000 a year for eligible members age 21 or older. Up to $1,500 more can apply to qualifying emergency or extra care when medically necessary. Members use their managed-care plan or fee-for-service Medicaid. The plan can help find a dentist taking those benefits.

The state allows a cleaning every 6 months. Sedation needs prior approval. Wisdom tooth removal uses the medical benefit.

For oral surgery, the office should route the proposed work to the right benefit. The surgery plan should show any personal charges before care.

Wilmington urgent dental visits have specific intake routes

Delaware Tech requires a booked visit for urgent dental care and takes no walk-ins. It lists $78 for emergency extractions and $155 for emergency fillings, paid in full in cash. Its charges are set out before work. Those are the center's own fees; the dentist decides what care is needed.

The Wilmington emergency dentist list gives other offices to contact about tooth pain or damaged work. The first exam should lead to a plan to finish the repair. Breathing trouble or other life-threatening symptoms mean 911. Wilmington Hospital has an emergency department for medical care.

Dental trips within New Castle County have DART fare options

DART's one-zone bus fare is $2, and its one-zone daily pass is $4. County lines set the zones.

Riders age 65 or older, or with a certified disability, can use the 80-cent reduced fare. They need the required Medicare or DART identification. Cash payments require exact change.

ADA paratransit costs $4 for an eligible trip; non-ADA demand-response trips cost $6. The service area and hours affect which fare applies. DART confirms the fare when the ride is booked. Whether the visit is on Pennsylvania Avenue or in Pike Creek, the return ride belongs in the trip budget.
