Coast Dental is a prominent dental service organization (DSO) that has grown significantly since its inception in 1992. Originally incorporated as Sunshine Health Services, Inc. in Florida, the company rebranded to Coast Dental, Inc. in 1994 and later reincorporated in Delaware, eventually returning to Florida. With its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, Coast Dental operates over 100 dental offices primarily across Florida, Georgia, and Texas, making it one of the largest dental providers in the U.S. The company's core mission revolves around providing high-quality, affordable, and comprehensive dental care with a strong emphasis on the patient experience. Coast Dental aims to create "beautiful, healthy smiles one patient at a time." They offer a wide array of dental services, encompassing general dentistry (such as check-ups and cleanings), cosmetic dentistry (including teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding), restorative treatments (like fillings, crowns, bridges, and dental implants), and various specialty services. This includes orthodontics (braces and clear aligners like CoastClear Aligners), endodontics (root canals), periodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery (wisdom teeth removal, extractions), and pediatric dentistry in select locations. They also provide emergency dental services for urgent needs. Coast Dental strives to make dental care accessible by accepting most major insurance plans and offering various payment options, including their proprietary SmilePlus membership savings program for patients without dental insurance. This program provides substantial discounts on services and offers different tiers to fit varying patient needs. They also work with financing options like CareCredit. The company emphasizes a patient-centric approach, focusing on comfort, convenience, and clear communication. They aim to provide tailored and transparent treatment plans, utilizing modern dental technology for efficient and accurate care. Many locations offer amenities like overhead TVs to enhance patient comfort during procedures. Coast Dental's commitment to patient satisfaction is frequently highlighted in their communications, with a focus on building long-term relationships.
