Affordable, Accessible Dental Care
Everyone deserves access to high-quality dental care. At Family Dentistry & Prosthodontics, we make it easier to fit that care into your budget. Whether you're insured or paying out of pocket, we offer flexible solutions that help you move forward with confidence. Here's how we make treatment more accessible for Merritt Island families:
Dental Insurance Made Simple
We accept most major dental insurance plans and are happy to help you understand and maximize your benefits. Our knowledgeable team will work with your provider to ensure you're getting the most value from your coverage, so you can focus on your smile, not the paperwork.
Flexible Financing Options
No insurance? No problem. We offer third-party financing through CareCredit®, which allows you to break up treatment costs into affordable monthly payments. With low-interest and no-interest plans available for qualifying patients, we make it easier to get the care you need without delay.
Why General Dentistry Is Essential to Lifelong Health
General dentistry is the cornerstone of lifelong oral health. Regular checkups allow our team to catch small issues before they become painful or costly problems. Cleanings remove harmful plaque and tartar, and exams give us the chance to monitor gum health, detect cavities early, and protect against long-term damage.
Our general dental care includes:
- Preventive cleanings and digital X-rays
- Thorough exams and patient education
- Early intervention for gum disease
- Long-term treatment planning for your healthiest smile
From toddlers to seniors, we help patients maintain excellent oral health throughout every stage of their lives.
What General Dentistry Can Address
Patients often visit us for routine exams and cleanings, which form the foundation of general dentistry. But our services go far beyond prevention. At our Merritt Island office, we also provide effective treatments for a wide range of oral health concerns, including:
Our team offers non-surgical periodontal therapy, including scaling and root planing, along with laser dentistry using the Waterlase iPlus for a gentler, more precise approach to gum health.
For patients concerned about tooth discoloration or minor damage, we offer professional teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and porcelain veneers to restore a bright, balanced smile.
We provide discreet, comfortable treatment using SureSmile® clear aligners, a great option for teens and adults looking to straighten their teeth without traditional braces.
Cracked, worn, or weakened teeth can be strengthened with custom dental crowns. Using CEREC technology, we can often design and place your crown in just one visit.
We offer multiple solutions to replace missing teeth, including traditional bridges, dentures, and dental implants. We use surgical guides for precise implant placement and lasting results.
No matter your dental concern, our Merritt Island team is equipped to diagnose the issue and provide the right solution. We combine compassionate care with advanced techniques to restore and protect your smile at every stage of your treatment. If you're experiencing symptoms or it's simply time for a checkup, we're here to help you take the next step toward better oral health.
Welcome to Your Dental Home
“They treat you like family.”
“Dr. Schmid and the rest of the team were great! They make you feel welcome, and treat you like family. I grew up with my mother working for a dentist, and it was that similar family feel. Found our new family dentist.”

How Our Technology Enhances Your Care
Our commitment to advanced technology sets us apart from other Merritt Island dental practices. We’ve invested in tools that improve precision, comfort, and efficiency, helping us deliver the best possible experience at every visit.
Here’s how our technology benefits you:
- Digital X-rays minimize radiation exposure and provide fast, clear images to detect problems early.
- CBCT scanning offers detailed 3D views of your teeth, nerves, and bone. This is especially helpful for planning dental implant surgery and other complex procedures.
- Intraoral cameras allow you to see what your dentist sees. This makes treatment planning more transparent and collaborative.
- CEREC technology lets us craft same-day crowns right in our office, so you can restore a damaged tooth in just one visit.
- The Waterlase iPlus laser enables comfortable, minimally invasive treatment for gum disease and cosmetic procedures with less bleeding and faster healing.
These technologies allow us to clearly explain your treatment options, reduce discomfort, and achieve excellent results in fewer visits.
