Dr. Andrew Caldieraro

Dental care isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when driving through Wood River, but it’s one of the few constants residents rely on. Dr. Andrew Caldieraro has been part of that routine for years, offering a quiet alternative to the louder clinics near the interstate. The practice sits at 332 N Central Ave, a stretch where the sidewalks feel wider and the traffic slows down—an oddly fitting backdrop for a service that values patience over speed.

Routine cleanings, fillings, and crowns are handled here, along with more involved procedures like root canals and extractions. There’s also a focus on preventive care, which means fewer surprises down the road. The office doesn’t advertise flashy technology or same-day implants, but that’s not what most people in this part of Madison County are after. They want a dentist who remembers their name and doesn’t rush through the exam.

Directions are simple: head north on Central until you pass the old post office, then look for the brick storefront with the blue awning. If you need to schedule or ask about a procedure, call (618) 254-3355. For the exact location, check the map.
