San Marco Dentistry

Just went to this dental practice as I thought I had a cavity as my tooth was hurting when I ate. They took 2 xrays on that side and dentist came in to examine my teeth. He said everything looked good. Xrays didnt show anything and neither did exam. Said no cavities so couldn’t find a problem. I asked if he was going to do the cold water squirt on teeth to see if that showed anything, since eating cold food caused the pain, and to my surprise he said no it wasn’t needed. I get normal xrays covered by my insurance (panoramic and bitewing) 1x a year and teeth cleanings 2x a year faithfully. I switched insurance companies this year so had to find a new dentist in the network. Thus how I ended up at this practice. Before arriving, they received my xrays and records from my previous dentist I had done less than a year prior. So I said I would like to schedule my teeth cleanings and was told before that could be done, they needed to get FMX xrays….which was not covered by my insurance….just to get a cleaning. What a rip off! I called around to other dental practices in my network and asked if they required these FMX xrays for a cleaning and was told no. An internet search said this : Typically, you do not need a new Full Mouth Series (FMX) if you had bitewing and panoramic X-rays within the last year, as FMX is generally recommended only every 3–5 years. If you are seeing a new dentist, they can usually accept transferred records from your previous office. So, needless to say, I will NOT be returning back to this practice as I think they are doing unnecessary xrays, that are potentially harmful. The dentist I saw and his assistant were very polite, kind and professional, so it’s sad this practice wants to get money from their patients (me being a senior on fixed ss income with limited funds), with services not needed or covered by insurance just to get a cleaning!

First visit and had the best dental cleaning I’ve ever had. Been seen by different dentists in my 15 years here in Jax . So far this is the best. Charlene really spent time with me and I can say she is the best dental hygienist I’ve had.

Best dentist 🦷 and hygienist !! Jordan and Charlie have left my teeth happy 😃Super friendly and helpful staff, beautiful office and a a great team.

Awesome atmosphere if you are scared of the dentist trust me this place has you covered... Wonderful staff from the receptionist to the doctor ❤️❤️❤️
