Advanced Treatment and Results

With In-Office Technology

At our Merritt Island, FL, dental practice, our team is constantly acquiring new technology and attending continuing education courses. This allows us to enhance your experience and provide you with the most convenient, efficient, and effective dental care.

Our office is equipped with an on-site CEREC unit, which we use to design and manufacture same-day crowns. Thanks to the use of digital X-rays, a CBCT scanner, and intraoral cameras, our dentists can more accurately diagnose your condition and illustrate how your treatment can help you enjoy a better quality of life.

When performing laser dentistry, our dentists use the Waterlase iPlus® system by BIOLASE for faster and more comfortable treatment. Laser dentistry is a minimally invasive approach to the management of mild to moderate gum disease. It can also be used to perform cosmetic gum lift procedures.

For dental implants, our dentists use Nobel Biocare® products and surgical guides to ensure accurate, long-lasting results. Nobel Biocare is a leading brand that has helped millions to reclaim a healthy and fully functional smile.

Insurance and Financing Are Accepted

/

Our Merritt Island, FL, dentists accept most dental insurance plans. For uninsured patients and out-of-pocket costs, we also accept CareCredit® to make treatment affordable through flexible financing options and low-interest rates.

I’m so happy to be at this practice. I had become increasingly frustrated and unhappy at my usual dentist. The staff is so nice. Cierra listened to my story and Dr. Schmid was so kind and knowledgeable. I have many dental issues past and present but I am confident in Dr. Schmid and his staff to take care of me.

We started using Dr. Wikhu a few years ago and have been extremely happy. The office staff is top notch, has great communication and very friendly every time we speak to them. A far cry from all our prior dentist. I recently had my first real "dental work" done by Dr. Wikhu and the experience was exactly what I thought it would be. He and his staff did an amazing job with my crown. Pain free and all done in the same day. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a new dentist.

Friendly front office staff, courteous and welcoming. Sue the hygienist was thorough, but with a gentle touch for the cleaning and X-rays. Dr Cork has a great bedside manner and explains everything in detail. He and his assistant were very good at making sure that I was taken care of.
