Dr. William C. Cox, D.D.S

A general dentist in Wood River covers everything from checkups to crowns, root canals to dentures—no specialty referrals needed. Dr. William C. Cox, D.D.S handles the kind of routine and restorative work that keeps a practice busy: fillings, extractions, even partial plates for patients missing a few teeth. The office sits along Second Street, where the downtown grid meets the quieter edges of town. No flashy signage, just a standard storefront in a block that’s equal parts practical and low-key.

Wood River’s dental options thin out once you leave the main drag, so having a place that does cleanings *and* bridges in one spot saves the usual back-and-forth. This isn’t the kind of practice that advertises whitening specials or Invisalign—just the fundamentals, the way a small-town office often runs. Directions are simple if you’re coming from the river side: head toward the old Times-Delphic building and you’ll spot it before the railroad tracks.

Questions about coverage or same-day availability? The number to call is (618) 254-9813. For first visits, the map pins it at 22 S 2nd St, Wood River, IL 62095—right where the street starts to bend. Locals who’ve been going for years will tell you: it’s the kind of place where the hygienist remembers your last X-ray date.
