If you are experiencing pain and/or swelling, you can walk into the Dental Center for urgent care and we will make every effort to work you into our schedule. If you do not have pain or swelling, you will need to call to schedule an initial appointment. To schedule an appointment, you can call the Dental Center directly at 407.823.1635.

We can do a limited exam with two to three x-rays of the problem area, addressing only the one tooth/problem area. You are welcome to come back at any time for a complete new patient exam and a full series of x-rays to examine your whole mouth.

If you had x-rays taken at another office within the last six months, you can bring them to your appointment at the UCF Dental Center and in most cases, we will not charge you to take additional x-rays. You must have them with you at your initial appointment.

A new patient exam consists of a full mouth series of x-rays, or panoramic x-rays, hard and soft tissue charting, an oral cancer check, a visual examination, use of an intra-oral camera for you to see a virtual tour of your mouth, periodontal probing to check gum pocket depths, charting dental conditions and finally, creating a custom treatment plan for your dental needs.

We are happy to provide a second opinion. Please schedule an appointment and bring the written treatment plan and any previous x-rays you’ve had concerning the diagnosis for which you are seeking a second opinion.

It can be a dental-related problem, but it can also be a problem that needs to be evaluated by a specialist. Our dentist will do an evaluation and will treat the area here if possible. If it is a problem that requires a referral to see a specialist, we will provide you with the referral and schedule your appointment.

Wisdom teeth need to be evaluated because in most cases they can cause pain, swelling, and eventual crowding problems for many college-aged patients. An initial examination is a good time to determine if your wisdom teeth will need to be removed.

If you have a healthy, disease-free mouth, we recommend a cleaning every six months. If you have periodontal disease, we may recommend a cleaning every three months.

As long as your regular dentist can verify you have had your teeth cleaned within the last six months and you have no cavities or conditions that would cause complications with whitening, we are happy to provide you with teeth whitening services.

This is not recommended for two reasons: First, we want to make sure there are no cavities or conditions that would create sensitivity or pain in your mouth during whitening; Second, we want to make sure you have clean teeth so that you are whitening teeth and not debris.
