Before that San Marco tooth comes out, get the evidence.
San Marco is a neighborhood that restores things. The 1920s bungalows off Hendricks Ave get rewired instead of razed; the lions by the fountain get repaired, not replaced. So when a dental office tells someone from around the Square that a tooth 'has to come out,' the local instinct kicks in: says who, based on what? That instinct is correct, and it deserves better than a shrug — it deserves an X-ray you can look at yourself and a verdict argued from it.
That's how extractions work here. Imaging first, always. Then the honest fork: if a root canal and crown can genuinely rescue the tooth, that option comes first with its price attached — $850–$1,150 for the canal work against $195–$325 for removal — and nobody in the building earns more by steering you either way. Second opinions are a welcome visit type, not an insult. Bring the other office's plan; we'll put it next to your current imaging and tell you where we agree.
Geography, honestly: we're south of you, in the Ponte Vedra–Nocatee corridor, opening September 2026 — a real drive from San Marco Square, one that buys published prices and 7am–7pm hours every single day. For the Baptist Medical Center crowd running on shift time, that last part is the whole point. Founding 500: $29 a month, for life, open now.
Why this works from here
- A straight run south from Hendricks Ave and San Marco Blvd — leave the historic district, keep the standards
- 7am–7pm, seven days: built for Baptist Medical Center shift patterns, not office-hours dentistry
- Second-opinion visits are a named service — bring another office's extraction plan and your imaging decides
Questions, answered plainly
Another office already told me the tooth is hopeless. What does a second opinion with you look like?
A comprehensive exam at $95 (free for members), fresh imaging if yours is stale, and a verdict argued from the picture — not from the other office's notes. Sometimes we confirm the extraction and you proceed with confidence; sometimes the tooth is savable and you just found an $850 root canal hiding behind a $4,000 implant plan. Either answer is a win for you.
I finish nights at Baptist at 7am. Can an extraction consult actually happen that early?
Doors open at 7 sharp, all seven days, and the imaging consult is a standard walk-in half hour. Post-shift is a legitimate time slot here, not a favor. Surgical blocks can land on whichever day your rotation clears — including Sundays.
Isn't the drive from San Marco a lot for a tooth extraction?
It's a real drive, and we won't pretend otherwise. What it buys: a fee schedule published before you commit, save-versus-pull verdicts with no commission behind them, and most wisdom teeth handled in-house instead of referred to a second address with a second bill. Read the prices online first — that's what they're there for.
What are the actual numbers for an extraction?
$195 simple, $325 surgical, $425 soft-tissue impaction, $625 full bony — the founding schedule, public before opening day. Membership trims each by 20%, to $156–$500, and every figure is confirmed in writing before instruments come out.
If I do lose the tooth, what does the replacement conversation look like?
It looks like arithmetic, not a pitch. A $450 graft at extraction keeps the implant door open; the implant path itself — $1,950 placement, $650 abutment, $1,450 crown — spans several months and gets mapped visit by visit in writing. Prefer a bridge or partial? Those prices sit on the same public schedule for comparison.
When do you open, and what's the waitlist about?
Late 2026, down the corridor. The Founding 500 list locks membership at $29 a month for life — 500 spots, counted live on this site — and gets the address the day the lease is signed.
