Your Dental FAQs—Answered by Local Experts

  • Are you currently accepting new patients for dental care in Indialantic?

    Yes, Banana River Dental is currently accepting new patients for emergency dental care and toothache appointments. However, at this time, we are not accepting new patients for routine cleanings due to high demand. If you have a dental emergency—such as pain, swelling, or a broken tooth—please contact us for same-day or next-day availability. We encourage you to call, text, or use our online booking tool to find the most up-to-date appointment options in the Indialantic and Melbourne, FL areas.

  • What dental insurance plans do you accept, and what if I am uninsured?

    Banana River Dental is insurance-friendly and works with most major PPO dental insurance plans. If you have questions about a specific carrier, our front desk team can verify your benefits before your visit. For patients without insurance—such as retirees or self-employed individuals—we offer a Dental Savers Plan that includes exams, X-rays, cleanings, and a 20% discount on all services for a single yearly fee. This plan is designed to make high-quality care accessible to the communities of Indialantic and Melbourne.

  • What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside normal office hours?

    If you experience a dental emergency—such as a severe toothache, swelling, knocked-out tooth, or broken restoration—please call or text our main number at (321) 777-6453. We offer same-day and next-day appointments for urgent needs. For after-hours emergencies, leave a message or text so we can triage your situation and provide guidance. If you are experiencing uncontrolled bleeding or a life-threatening emergency, visit the nearest emergency room. For non-life-threatening dental issues, our Indialantic location is equipped to provide fast, compassionate care.

  • How do I schedule an appointment or submit new patient forms online?

    You can schedule appointments and complete new patient forms digitally through our secure online portal, powered by Adit. This system is available 24/7 and helps you save time by minimizing paperwork in the office. Simply visit our website and click the 'Schedule Visit' button or contact us via phone or text. Our team serves patients from Indialantic, Melbourne, and nearby Space Coast neighborhoods, offering digital convenience for every step of your dental care journey.
