From infant well-visits to the teen years, we're ready to help your child establish healthy dental habits for life.

Meet Our Dental Hygienists
The best way to get in front of periodontal disease is maintaining your routine visits to our caring and dedicated team of dental hygienists in your area. Our goal is to provide consistent monitoring and helpful guidance, so you can keep your natural teeth for a lifetime of smiles.

Our dental hygienists take the health and cleanliness of your teeth and gums very seriously. That’s why we make sure they have the best training, tools, and the latest technology. When you mix in a friendly personality and gentle touch, it is a winning combination for our patients.

At Grand Dental – Wilmington, we are fully dedicated to helping each of our patients have the best experience possible at our practice. If you have any questions about dentistry, we will be sure to answer them in full detail to aid you in making the decisions that are best for your overall oral health. Those who prefer to perform research on their own may benefit from reviewing the following FAQs and taking note of our detailed, helpful answers.
It is best to call the nearest emergency room for severe issues such as a fractured jaw. In the event of a dental emergency that is not life-threatening but still requires prompt treatment, we recommend calling our office; we can identify the cause of the emergency and determine the best way to address it in order to prevent further harm and put a stop to any discomfort.
When you contact us for an emergency dental appointment, we will listen carefully while you explain your situation. In addition to making arrangements to see you, we will also provide any first-aid that you may need based on the symptoms that you are experiencing.
When choosing a new dental practice, there are several things that need to be considered. Do they take your dental insurance? Do their hours work with your schedule? What kinds of services do they offer? Take note of these and any other questions you might have; the answers could help you determine whether the practice is truly a good fit for you. It may also be helpful to see what sort of feedback past patients have left for the practice on Google.
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential for identifying and addressing problems in the mouth long before they can turn into emergencies. The exact cost of a dental checkup and cleaning can vary depending on which practice you visit, but on average, the cost may be somewhere between $200 and $350. Of course, this is before taking dental insurance into account; the amount you ultimately need to pay out of pocket can vary depending on the plan that you have.
After earning a bachelor’s degree, aspiring dentists must enroll in one of the 67 accredited dental schools in the United States. They then need to complete three years of classroom and hands-on learning until they eventually earn a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS).
Some dentists may choose to specialize in periodontics, orthodontics, or one of the other specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. To do so, they need to complete another three years of dental school (possibly more, in certain cases).
