Meet
the
Doctors

From the moment you arrive, you’ll know you’re more than just an appointment.

Husband and wife team Rich and Lacy first met in dental school. They’ve owned and led Pelican Landing Dental since 2010, shaping the practice around the kind of care they believe dentistry should provide.

Dr. Lacy Gilbert

Owner

Dr. Lacy has always been curious about what more she can learn and what more she can do for her patients. That curiosity has taken her from a residency at UCLA through years of advanced study in implants and prosthodontics—and it still shapes the way she cares for people today.

Dr. Rich Gilbert

Owner

Dr. Rich pairs deep clinical experience with an easy familiarity that can make a dental visit feel more like catching up with an old friend. He has pursued advanced training in prosthodontics and TMJ care, with a particular interest in sleep dentistry and oral appliance alternatives to CPAP.

Welcome to Your Last New Patient Visit

Your first visit gives us the time to get to know more than your teeth. During our comprehensive exam, your doctor, hygienist, and care coordinator work together to understand your health, concerns, and goals.

Then your doctor sits beside you to review what they see, explain why it matters, and answer your questions—so you leave with a clear understanding of your oral health and a team you know here in Bonita Springs.

While your hygienist and care coordinator get to know your smile, they’re getting to know you, too. Your concerns, comfort, and questions help your doctor understand who they’re caring for before the exam even begins.

The people behind your care aren’t names you only see on a referral. They’re doctors who know you, talk with you, and understand the person behind the treatment.

Preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry come together with IV sedation and an in-house dental lab, so more of your care can happen with the team you already know. And when a dental emergency happens, new and existing patients can be seen by the next day.

More Than Your Dentist.
We’re Your Team.

Whatever your smile needs over time, you have a team built to care for it together. Doctors, specialists, hygienists, and an in-house laboratory bring their expertise to the same conversation, keeping your care thoughtful, personal, and connected.

Your history, imaging, goals, and conversations stay connected, so each visit can pick up where the last one left off. And we’ll even request your recent X-rays and notes from your previous dentist.

Rich and Lacy personally select doctors for how they care for patients and the expertise they bring to the team. That means the people caring for you are here because they meet the standards Rich and Lacy have set for the practice.

When implant treatment or more complex restorative care calls for specialized expertise, care stays connected through trusted experts at our sister practice, Smile Rejuvenations of Southwest Florida.
