Tulsa, OK Dentists | 412 Ranked

Dental choices on 41st Street, North Lansing and downtown

Tulsa's largest office groups are in ZIP 74133, with 72 dentists, and 74135, with 66. The Tulsa dentist comparison guide connects location with the care and payment route you need. Student treatment on East 41st Street, community care on North Lansing and mobile care downtown offer quite different ways to begin.

To check who will treat you, Oklahoma's dental board offers a dentist license search and a linked disciplinary list. The board refreshes its listings weekly. Search the clinician's own name when an office uses a group name.

Lower-fee student dental treatment in Tulsa

OU's student dental clinic lists fees normally 40% to 60% below private practice. Its Tulsa clinic is at 4444 East 41st Street, with the dental line 918-619-4000. The program treats adults and children, including routine care, fillings, crowns, dentures and emergency tooth removal.

Adults begin with a prospective patient form. The clinic then arranges an assessment if the case fits its teaching needs. Accepted patients need at least 2 half weekdays per month for care, and visits usually take 3 hours. Payment is due at the visit, with no payment plans.

Student care can suit someone who has time for longer daytime visits. For a worker paid by the hour, the time away from work belongs beside the dental fee in the comparison. OU also lists possible assistance funding for care insurance leaves unpaid.

Reduced dental fees and a no-cost downtown care route

Morton reduces dental fees for uninsured patients who meet its income rules. Households below 100% of the federal poverty level pay a small fee; those from 101% to 200% receive sliding discounts. Its main clinic is at 1334 North Lansing Avenue.

Morton lists exams, emergency exams, cleanings, fluoride, fillings, gum care, sealants and crowns. A routine cleaning and care for diseased gums involve different work. Morton includes root planing among its gum treatments.

Morton's Midtown Homeless Health Center offers dental and other health care at no cost. It serves people living in shelters, transitional housing or permanent supportive housing programs. That site is at 102 North Denver Avenue. The housing program and care needed help decide where a patient starts.

Morton's registration instructions call for photo ID and an insurance card if you have one. Extra documents apply for the fee discount. Its policy allows 1 day of service when a patient lacks all the required discount paperwork.

Free mobile dental care in north Tulsa and downtown

Smiles of Faith provides free mobile dental care for people in need who lack insurance. Partner sites include Boston Avenue United Methodist Church at 1301 South Boston Avenue. Morning Star Baptist Church is another stop, at 1014 East Pine Street. The clinic moves among partner sites.

The clinic posts Tuesday through Friday hours of 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A new regular-care request starts with a packet, followed by review and contact from the team. The first full visit includes X-rays, an exam and a treatment plan; fillings, cleanings and other work can follow later.

An urgent visit focuses on the painful tooth. The clinic takes those requests at 918-644-2974. Its urgent dental care route uses a focused tooth exam, while a regular new-patient visit plans care for the whole mouth.

SoonerCare dental benefits for Tulsa adults and children

From age 21, SoonerCare covers cleanings, fluoride, fillings, dentures and tooth removal. The child benefits also include root canals and crowns. The dental office checks your coverage and any approval needed for the work you need.

SoonerSelect members choose a dental plan as well as a medical plan. The dental choices are DentaQuest and LIBERTY Dental. For a Tulsa appointment, the individual dentist's contract with that dental plan matters. The medical plan's name alone leaves that question unanswered.

When teeth are missing, Tulsa implant treatment and dentures have different steps and fees. A complete implant estimate needs to show surgery, any graft, temporary teeth and the final teeth. That gives you a full-course price to compare with a denture plan.

Donated dental help for Tulsa seniors and other eligible adults

Eastern Oklahoma Donated Dental Services accepts applications from people age 60 and older. Other routes include veterans, people who get Social Security, hardship cases and partner referrals. Applicants need low household income and no other way to pay for dental care. They must live in a covered county, which includes Tulsa County.

Applications generally go by mail with proof of income. The address is 9810 East 42nd Street, Suite 210, Tulsa, and the program contact is 918-742-5544. Each applicant must complete all pages of the form. A partner referral needs a letter from the social worker.

Children's care, disability support and braces follow-up

OU's Tulsa clinic has a child intake route for age 12 and younger. Its student clinics also welcome patients with disabilities and other special care needs. For care closer to home, Tulsa children's dentists can be compared by the child's needs and the trip from school.

43 Tulsa offices list orthodontic care, where repeated checks make travel part of the choice. OU's Tulsa braces assessment can lead to treatment at its graduate clinic in Oklahoma City. That longer trip matters when comparing a braces treatment plan with care that stays in Tulsa.

Severe tooth pain and medical emergencies in Tulsa

OSU Medical Center's emergency department at 744 West 9th Street treats serious illness and injury. With a tooth infection, fever and swelling that spreads to the face or neck need urgent medical care. Breathing trouble means calling 911. The hospital treats the medical danger, while a dentist deals with the cause in the tooth.

For a tooth exam, 48 offices list urgent dental services in Tulsa. Morton also lists emergency exams, and Smiles of Faith has a painful-tooth visit route. A dentist can decide whether the next step needs root canal care, oral surgery or another repair.

Getting to Tulsa dental visits on a bus or accessible ride

Peoria AERO Route 700 links north and south Tulsa, including downtown and Brookside, with level boarding. Riders age 18 and younger ride MetroLink free, with age proof or ID when required. Lower fares apply to people 65 and older, riders with disabilities and people with Medicare.

LinkAssist costs $4 for a one-way cash trip for eligible riders whose disability prevents regular bus use. A companion also pays $4; a personal care attendant rides free. The service begins at age 5 and requires approval. Riders needing more personal help must bring their own attendant.

A west-side route can make Sand Springs dental care practical, while south-side households can compare Jenks or Bixby. Broken Arrow adds a southeast option. For several treatment stages, the return visits deserve the same weight as the first trip.
