About Boulder Rock
Maybe it's been a couple of years since your last cleaning, and a tooth has started to feel sensitive when you drink something cold. Or your child is due for a first checkup, your parent's dentures no longer fit the way they used to, and you'd love to brighten your own smile before a family event. Most households in Palm Coast are juggling some version of this list. You could see a different office for each need, or you could find one dental home that can help with nearly all of it. At Boulder Rock Dental, we want to be that place for you and everyone you care about.
One of the most common questions we hear is simple: "Can you take care of my whole family?" The answer is yes. As a general dentistry practice, we see patients of all ages, from young children to seniors. Our general dentists and dental hygienist handle the foundations of good oral health: dental exams, professional cleanings, cavity detection, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. For kids, parents are welcome in the treatment room, so little ones can feel secure while they get comfortable with the dentist's chair.
As needs change over the years, we can keep caring for you without sending you elsewhere for many services. We provide fillings, crowns, bridges, and root canal therapy for front teeth. We offer gum disease treatment, including scaling and root planing and ongoing periodontal maintenance. When a tooth needs to come out, we perform simple extractions, and when a tooth is missing, we place dental implants. For patients who wear or need dentures, we provide complete and partial dentures, implant-supported dentures, and repairs or replacements for existing ones. Keeping all of this under one roof means your care team already knows your history.
Another question we hear often is, "What happens if something goes wrong between visits?" Dental problems rarely wait for a convenient time. A cracked tooth, a sudden toothache, or a broken restoration can throw off your whole day. That's why we offer emergency dental appointments, including same-day emergency visits for endodontic concerns. We treat cracked teeth and perform root canal retreatments, and you don't need a referral to be seen for this kind of care.
Prevention matters just as much as quick response. During routine visits, we include oral cancer screenings as part of looking after your overall health, not just your teeth. Regular exams help us spot small changes early, when treatment is often simpler. Whether you come in for an urgent problem or a scheduled cleaning, our goal is the same: to explain what we see, walk you through your options, and help you decide on next steps that make sense for you.
Care That Puts Your Comfort and Your Budget First
Many people put off dental visits because they're nervous or worried about cost. We understand both concerns, and our team was built around addressing them. Led by Dr. Thinh Tran, DMD, and Dr. Jake Ryan, DMD, our practice emphasizes patient comfort, modern technology, and flexible payment options. We take time to answer questions and never rush you into a decision.
To make care more accessible, we offer several ways to pay:
- Insurance: We accept all major PPO insurance plans.
- Self-pay: Patients without insurance are always welcome.
- Financing: We work with CareCredit, iCreditWorks, and Sunbit.
- Membership plans: Our in-house dental membership plans are available at $189, $240, or $109 per year for veterans.
If you're unsure which option fits your situation, just ask. Our team will gladly walk you through your choices before treatment begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping You Feel Confident in Your Smile
Healthy teeth are the priority, but how your smile looks matters too. Some patients come to us wanting a brighter shade, and we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening. Others want to fix a chipped edge or small gap, which composite bonding can often address. For more significant changes, we provide porcelain veneers, smile makeovers, and full mouth reconstruction.
Planning cosmetic work can feel overwhelming, so we use Digital Smile Design to help you see possibilities before treatment begins. If your teeth are crowded or misaligned, we offer Invisalign and other clear aligners for both children and adults. These options let many patients straighten their teeth without traditional braces. We'll talk through your goals and help you understand what each approach involves.
Rooted in Our Local Communities
We're proud to serve families throughout Palm Coast, as well as neighbors in Beverly Beach, Flagler Beach, and Painters Hill. Living and working in this part of Florida's coast, we know how much our patients value their time. Having preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and emergency care in one familiar office makes it easier to stay on top of your oral health.
What we hope sets a visit here apart is the feeling that you're known. When the same team sees you for cleanings, answers your questions about a crown, helps your teenager with aligners, and is there when an emergency strikes, trust builds naturally. That continuity is at the heart of how we practice.
Whether you're new to the area, returning to the dentist after some time away, or looking for one office for the whole family, we'd love to meet you. Reach out to our team to schedule a visit, and let us help you take the next step toward a healthy, comfortable smile.
