Question 1

Is Sarasota Dental Arts accepting new patients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We welcome new adult patients from Sarasota and the surrounding communities. We do not see pediatric patients — Sarasota Dental Arts is an adult-only practice.

Question 2

Do you take dental insurance?

Accepted Answer

We are out-of-network with all dental insurance carriers. We do not bill insurance directly, but we itemize every visit and help you submit out-of-network claims so you can recover any benefit your plan offers. Most patients with a PPO plan recover a meaningful portion of their fee.

Question 3

What does fee-for-service mean?

Accepted Answer

Fee-for-service means we set our fees based on the time, materials, and quality of work — not on what insurance contracts dictate. You pay us directly, and we provide all the documentation needed to submit a claim to your insurer.

Question 4

Where is Sarasota Dental Arts located?

Accepted Answer

We are at 7162 South Beneva Road, Sarasota, FL 34238 — in the Palmer Ranch corridor of south Sarasota. Free parking directly in front of the office.

Question 5

What are your hours?

Accepted Answer

Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Friday by appointment for established patients with longer cases. Closed Saturday and Sunday. Call (941) 927-8287 to schedule.

Question 6

Do you see children?

Accepted Answer

No. Sarasota Dental Arts is an adult-only practice. Dr. Chevance does not see pediatric or adolescent patients. We are happy to recommend trusted pediatric dental practices in the area.

Question 7

Do you treat dental emergencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We save appointment slots every business day for urgent visits, and we see emergency patients even if you are not currently a patient of record. Call (941) 927-8287 first — most emergencies can be triaged and improved by phone before you arrive.

Question 8

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We ask for 48 hours notice for non-emergency cancellations. We understand life happens — call us as soon as you know and we will work with you. For repeated short-notice cancellations, we may ask for a deposit to hold future appointments.

Question 9

Do you offer sedation?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we offer oral sedation for anxious patients and longer procedures. We do not currently offer nitrous oxide. Talk with Dr. Chevance at your consult about whether sedation makes sense for your case.

Question 10

Who places dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Surgical placement is done by a periodontist or oral surgeon we have worked with closely for years. Dr. Chevance designs the case, plans the final restoration, and restores the implant once it has integrated. This is the model most cosmetic-led practices use, and it produces consistently better aesthetic outcomes.

Question 11

Do you offer payment plans or financing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We accept CareCredit (with no-interest financing options for qualified patients), and we offer in-office payment scheduling for larger cases like implants and full smile redesigns. Major credit cards and HSA/FSA accounts are also accepted.

Question 12

How long is a new patient visit?

Accepted Answer

A new-patient comprehensive exam is 90 minutes. That is intentional — we do a full periodontal evaluation, radiographs, photography, oral cancer screening, and a real conversation about your goals. Hygiene cleanings are scheduled separately.
