Unmatched Qualifications

When looking for a Bonita Springs dentist, you probably have come across many dental offices in the Estero area. However, upon closer inspection, you’ll find what makes Pelican Landing Dental special. Among other things, we have unparalleled expertise in the field, ensuring the best care possible with every appointment.

Combined Experience of 7 Dentists

Individually, our dentists already have impressive backgrounds, but when you consider our experience as a group, the amount of knowledge and training is astounding! What does this mean for you? It means that you have access to years and years of expertise, a group of dentists who can easily collaborate on complex cases, and a team who cares about each dental patient.

Team of In-House Dental Specialists

Are you interested in more advanced dentistry services like dental implants or a smile makeover? Fortunately, our dental team consists of experts who can handle even the most complex cases. In fact, Dr. Rich Gilbert and Dr. Lacy Gilbert have achieved mastership and fellowship status respectively in the Academy of General Dentistry. They also have high status with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Needless to say, our dental team has the expertise necessary to take care of you and your smile.

Team of Expert Dental Hygienists

When you come in for your six-month appointments, you spend most of the time with our friendly, experienced dental hygienists. We have assembled a team of thorough dentistry professionals who genuinely wish to get to know you and help you have a healthier smile. We’ll remove any plaque you have missed in your own brushing and flossing at home and if necessary instruct you on proper technique, so you can protect your teeth and gums from harm.

1,000’s of Hours of Advanced Training

The state of Florida requires that dentists take a certain number of continuing education hours every year to make sure their knowledge and skills stay current. We go way above and beyond these requirements, seeking out the best coursework that will enable us to offer the finest dental care to our dentistry patients every day.

Friendly, Family Values

At the center of all we do, our dental team prioritizes simple values and principles. We love our work helping others, honestly do what’s best for our dentistry patients, treat everyone with respect and compassion, and spread smiles whenever and however we can.

Owned by Husband & Wife Dentists

At Pelican Landing Dental, we’re like a family, and we really mean that! Our owners, Dr. Rich and Dr. Lacy Gilbert, share not only their last name but also a passion for changing smiles and lives for the better. They lead the rest of our dental team and make sure we treat everyone who comes in our doors as we would a member of our own family.

Committed to the Golden Rule

When it comes to dental care, we put ourselves in our dentistry patients’ shoes. What kind of dental treatment would we want if we were dentistry patients? Then, we do everything we can to make the dental experience as comfortable as possible and give each dental patient the same respect we would expect for ourselves.

Always Honest & Transparent

Perhaps in the past you’ve worked with a dentist who seemed to have their own agenda or who wasn’t telling you everything you needed to know to make the best decision for your smile. We will openly discuss all your options and never pressure you into dental services you don’t want or need. We will offer our professional recommendations, but the choice is ultimately yours. In addition, we will be transparent about cost, so you’re fully informed and feel confident moving forward.

Actively Involved in the Community

On top of providing outstanding service and care within the walls of our Bonita Springs dental office, our dentists and staff give back to the community. In addition to local events and organizations, we’ve helped the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Our goal is to help more people smile and have better wellbeing—whether or not they’re our dental patients!

Amazing Dental Patient Experiences

Perhaps you have unpleasant memories of past dental experiences or maybe you’ve heard about some from others. At Pelican Landing Dental, we strive to turn these negative impressions around. From the instant you set foot in our dental office to your final checkout, you’ll be cared for by professionals who love helping others and making you feel welcome and comfortable.

Top-Rated Dentist in Florida

For us, the recognition that matters the most is the feedback from our dental patients. Through multiple review platforms, including Google, Angie’s List, and Nextdoor, we’ve been given top ranks. Our dental patients love their experiences with us that they leave overwhelmingly positive reviews online to share with others. If you haven’t read what our dental patients have to say, we invite you to see how our dentistry team has changed the way they think about visiting the dentist!

Clear Communication & No Surprises

At every step of the dental experience, we always keep you in the loop when it comes to your own oral health. We don’t use confusing jargon without explanation or withhold information you need to know to make the right decisions for your smile. When talking about dental treatment options, we are upfront about cost, dental insurance coverage, and other details so you know exactly what to expect when payment is due. After all, not all surprises are good!

Same-Day Appointments Available

Dental injuries or pain can come up suddenly, and every minute can feel like an eternity, which is why we have space in our daily schedule for emergency dentistry patients. With this flexibility, we can still take care of our regularly scheduled dental patients and also be available to those who need immediate treatment as well. If you experience a dental emergency, you can count on our dentistry team to see you as quickly as possible to relieve your pain and get your confident smile back on track.

One-on-One Attention – Always

Whether you’re coming in for a routine dental checkup or a complex procedure, you will receive our undivided attention. After learning about you and your unique needs, we customize our dental services to meet your goals and create a truly individualized treatment plan. As a result, you get precisely what your smile needs to look, feel, and function at its best.

Professional Dental Laboratory

Whether you need a dental crown or a whole set of dentures, the dental lab plays an important role in giving you a smile you can be proud of.

Traditionally, when dental restorations are fabricated, impressions and photos are taken of the dentistry patient’s mouth and are sent to a third-party dental laboratory. There, technicians make models of the existing teeth and design the dental restoration according to the specifications given by the dentist. Finally, the dental crown or other product is created in a milling machine and fine-tuned with microscopes and detailed tools. This process can take weeks, and if the dental restoration doesn’t fit quite right and needs more than just minor tweaks, it must be sent back to the lab for modifications.

Master Ceramist

At Pelican Landing Dental, we have a dedicated Master Ceramist named Ki on our staff. With his skillset and eye for precision, we have more control over the milling process. Ki may meet with you to get exact measurements before creating your custom dental restoration. As a result, we can more conveniently make adjustments as needed without having to wait another week or two on the lab. In addition, Ki can personally make absolutely sure that your dental restoration looks and feels natural.

High-Value & Fair Fees

Just because our dental office offers top-ranking dentistry service, it doesn’t mean we charge top dollar. In fact, we are very reasonable with our fees. When you meet with us and discuss your various options, we can go through the pricing and talk about your financial options. We are willing to work with you, whether it’s through your dental insurance, flexible financing, or other means.

We Give You Dental Treatment Options

In many situations, there may be more than one dental treatment that could address a single problem. We won’t limit you to just what we think is best. Even if we recommend one over another, we will discuss all your options, explain the pros and cons of each, and ultimately allow you to make the final decision. 

We Do Things Right the 1st Time

While no one is completely perfect, we strive to perform our jobs correctly to avoid wasting your time and ours with rework. Every staff member maintains high standards of care, which ensures successful dentistry treatment the first time around. As a result, you can rest assured that your oral health and smile are in capable hands.

Dental Insurance Is Welcome

Having dental insurance benefits only makes sense if you use them! Fortunately, we accept your dental insurance and will file claims for you. As a result, you can save on your out-of-pocket costs. If you ever have questions regarding your policy, we’ll be happy to walk you through what is and isn’t covered and how much you’ll owe out-of-pocket.

Primary Focus on Prevention

Although our highly experienced dentistry team is proficient in various complicated dental procedures, overall, we would much prefer to help you avoid dental problems in the first place if we can. That’s why we strongly encourage everyone to visit us at least every six months for preventive dental care to keep their teeth and gums strong against infection and decay. In addition, we may recommend other preventive dentistry measures like fluoride treatment, mouthguards, dental sealants, and more to protect your smile and help you save money for the long haul.

High-Value Dental Services

If it can be done in a dental office, we do it. Our team of 7 dentists saves you time and money by providing one-stop convenience and unmatched expertise.
