Convenient Access from Dundee
One street does nearly all the work between Dundee and our door. Head west on Dodge Street and, in about 11 minutes, you reach Regency Dental in west-central Omaha. Residents who want a dentist near Dundee get a locally owned office with three general dentists, early appointments Monday through Thursday, and a lot of restorative care handled in-house.
Begin at Dundee Elementary School on North 51st Street. Go west on Davenport Street, turn south on North 52nd Street, and pick up Dodge Street heading west. Stay on it as it becomes West Dodge Road, then take the California Street exit, follow Regency Parkway south and turn onto Regency Parkway Drive. Plan on roughly 4.8 miles from the school to our office.
Along the way you pass the south edge of Memorial Park and leave the Underwood Avenue shops and the Dundee Theater behind you. Our address is 260 Regency Pkwy Dr #104, Omaha, NE 68114, a short way south of West Dodge Road near I-680. Open our Google Maps page for live directions. We also see patients from Benson and Aksarben.
Care That Respects a Historic Dundee Lifestyle
Dundee was its own village, incorporated in 1894, before Omaha annexed it in 1915, and it remains part of Douglas County. Its tree-lined blocks hold early-1900s homes in Colonial, Georgian and Tudor Revival styles. The Dundee/Happy Hollow Historic District joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. In 2011, the American Planning Association named Dundee-Memorial Park one of its Great American Places.
The neighborhood mixes generations. Long-time homeowners live next door to young families who walk to the neighborhood school and the shops around 50th and Underwood. A practice that serves both groups well needs to handle a first cleaning and a worn-out bridge with equal care.
That is how our office works. Our dentists provide cleanings and checkups, but they also restore broken teeth, treat gum disease and place implants. Root canals, extractions and IV sedation all happen in our own rooms. You keep one team instead of collecting referrals.
The early schedule helps, too. With appointments from 7:00 AM Monday through Thursday, you can see us and still reach a downtown or Midtown desk on time. Friday mornings until noon give one more option at the end of the week.
Comfort gets real attention as well. Some adults put off dental work for years because of one bad experience, and that is more common than people admit. Our team offers judgment-free care, a hand signal to pause at any moment and phased treatment plans that tackle the most urgent work first. Nitrous oxide, oral sedation and IV sedation are available when nerves run high.
Older Teeth, New Smiles: Dental Needs in Dundee
Teeth age with their owners. Fillings placed twenty or thirty years ago can crack around the edges, and old crowns can let decay slip in underneath. Many adults in an established neighborhood like this one reach a point where several older repairs need attention at once.
Gum health deserves a close look in those years. Periodontal disease often builds without pain, and it can loosen teeth that look fine from the outside. Catching it early keeps treatment simpler and helps protect natural teeth, bridges and implants alike.
Missing teeth are the other common concern. A gap lets neighboring teeth drift and makes chewing lopsided. Our doctors plan implants with CBCT 3D imaging and 3D-printed surgical guides, then place them in our office.
Appearance matters at every age. Coffee, tea and red wine slowly darken enamel, and decades of chewing can leave front teeth chipped or uneven. Whitening, bonding and veneers can refresh a smile without major surgery. Our intraoral cameras let you see the same close-up view our dentists see before deciding on anything.
Young families have a different list. Kids need steady cleanings, fluoride and an eye on new molars. Parents juggling school mornings appreciate a 7:00 AM slot and a straight drive on Dodge Street.
Treatment Options for Anyone Seeking a Dentist Near Dundee
Restorative Dentistry
Cracked fillings and worn crowns are common in mature smiles. Our in-house CEREC milling often lets us restore a broken tooth with a permanent ceramic crown in one visit.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Gum disease is easy to miss and hard to ignore once teeth loosen. Our dentists measure, treat and then maintain the gums to help long-time residents keep their own teeth.
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up. Planning uses CBCT 3D imaging, and placement happens right here rather than at a separate surgical office.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Stained, chipped or uneven teeth can be refreshed with whitening, bonding or veneers. Members of our Advanced Care Plan save 10% on cosmetic work.
General & Preventive Dentistry
Exams, cleanings and digital x-rays keep small problems small. Young families near Underwood Avenue can book the whole household with one practice.
For older dental work that needs replacing, our crowns and bridges page explains how each option restores chewing strength. Patients thinking about a bigger change in appearance can read about dental veneers, thin shells that reshape the front of the smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Regency Dental from Dundee, and how do I get there?
The trip from Dundee Elementary School is about 4.8 miles, usually around 11 minutes. You go west on Dodge Street, which becomes West Dodge Road, then exit at California Street and follow Regency Parkway south. That makes us a practical dentist near Dundee for anyone who already drives Dodge to work.
Is there a membership plan for patients with gum disease?
Yes. The Advanced Care Plan has two periodontal tiers: $550 a year includes three periodontal maintenance visits, and $650 a year includes four. Both add exams, fluoride, an emergency exam and needed x-rays, plus 10% off cosmetic work and implants and 20% off other procedures. The plan is for patients without insurance and runs for one year.
How does CareCredit financing work for dental treatment?
CareCredit is a health care credit card that can cover dental treatment. It offers no-interest financing if you pay the balance in full within 12 months, and additional plans may be available. There are no up-front costs, pre-payment penalties or annual fees. Approval is handled by CareCredit itself, not by the dental office.
Can an old crown that no longer fits be replaced?
Yes. Our dentists remove the worn crown, treat any decay underneath, and fit a new one. With in-house CEREC milling, a permanent ceramic crown can often be completed in one visit. Replacing a leaky crown early helps protect the tooth beneath it, so an exam is worth booking if a crown feels loose or rough.
How early should I leave Dundee for a 7:00 AM appointment?
About 15 to 20 minutes before your appointment is usually enough. The drive runs around 11 minutes in light traffic, and rush hour on Dodge Street can add time. Leaving a few minutes early also gives new patients time to check in. The first appointments of the day run from 7:00 AM, Monday through Thursday.
