"I recently broke my front tooth veneer in an accident. I called Ocean Oaks Dental Group Jocy was able to schedule me the next morning at 8:00 am with Dr. McDonald. When I arrived the office staff were kind, caring & courteous. They took me to an exam room and all I can say is Wow! State of the art office and very clean. Dr.McDonald & his assistant Lori explained what needed to be done with my tooth & I could have a new veneer made (in-house lab, lab tech Jenna) and fitted that day. My Veneer matched perfectly to the rest and was placed properly and feels Better than the original one. I highly recommend Ocean Oaks Dental, for all your dental needs. Thank you Dr. McDonald and his exceptional Staff, where Smile dreams come true!!"

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’ve been wanting to learn more about dentistry and oral health, we hope that you find the following FAQs helpful. Remember that you can always speak to our team if there’s anything else you want to ask!

What is the Best Way to Find a Dentist Who Does Dental Implants?

Before choosing a dental practice for dental implants, you need to decide what sort of approach you want them to take for the procedure. Some dentists can place and restore dental implants in-office, but others may send you to an outside specialist for the placement step. At our office, we can personally handle your dental implant surgery thanks to our experienced team and our state-of-the-art technology.

It's also important to consider the level of experience and training that a dentist has regarding dental implants specifically. Ideally, you should look for a dentist who is involved with an organization that offers advanced dental implant training. Our own Dr. Josh Heimerdinger is an Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.

How Can I Make a Same-Day Appointment with a Dentist?

Scheduling a same-day appointment with a dentist is simple; all you need to do is call our office and let our team know what happened. We’ll listen carefully as you describe your symptoms; if a same-day appointment is truly needed, we’ll make arrangements to see you as soon as we can.

You may require a same-day appointment if you have a knocked-out tooth, a severe toothache, or another type of dental emergency. At your appointment, we’ll thoroughly examine your mouth to get a full picture of your situation. Then we’ll point you toward the treatment options that can help stop your pain and restore your oral health.

How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Dental Work Done?

Before choosing a new dental home, you should think carefully about your unique dental needs. Do you need a cosmetic dentist in Vero Beach who offers specific smile-enhancing services? Do you want an office that’s located within a certain distance of your home? Write down all of the traits that matter the most to you; this will give you a clearer picture of what your ideal dental practice looks like, allowing you to narrow down your search.

Additionally, it’s always a good idea to learn more about a dentist’s credentials before visiting them for an appointment. If you’ve found a promising dental practice, be sure to visit their website to see if they have biographies detailing the backgrounds of the dentists who work there.

What Level of Education is Required to Be a Dentist?

Becoming a dentist in the United States requires one of two degrees: a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). These degrees can only be obtained by enrolling in an accredited dental school after earning a bachelor’s degree. Completing dental school takes about four years and involves both hands-on and classroom learning.
