The care

Nothing exotic. Cleanings, fillings, crowns and the repairs that keep a mouth working — done in an order you understand, at a cost you're told before anything starts.

The difference is time. One dentist, thirty years in the same building, and a schedule that doesn't leave you sitting in a room alone wondering what's happening.

Hours: Mon–Fri, 8–5
New patients: Welcome
Insurance: Most plans
Call: (386) 255-8866

Preventive

Cleanings and check-upsExams, cleanings and X-rays on a schedule that suits your mouth rather than a recall card. Most insurance covers the preventive work in full, and the desk checks before you sit down.

Ask at the desk

Restorative

Fillings, crowns, bridgesThe ordinary work, done carefully and explained before it starts — what it is, how long it lasts, and what it costs before anything is drilled.

Urgent

Same-day when it hurtsA broken tooth or a swollen jaw gets seen the same day where the schedule allows. Ring the office rather than booking online — it is faster when something hurts.

Nervous patients

The ones who dread itThirty years of patients who avoided dentists for a decade before walking in here. Nothing gets done without being explained first, and stopping is always allowed.

Ask at the desk

If you hate dentists

You're not
the first

A large share of the patients here hadn't seen a dentist in years before walking in. The approach is the same either way: explain what you're going to feel, do one thing at a time, and stop when someone raises a hand.

Nobody is lectured about flossing. The goal is a mouth that stops hurting and a person who comes back.
