Julington Creek already has kids’ dentists. Here’s our argument for switching.
Let’s start with what’s true: Julington Creek Plantation families mostly aren’t searching for a dentist — they have one, probably somewhere off Race Track Road, probably for years. Switching costs are real: records, familiarity, the kid who finally stopped being nervous. So instead of pretending you have a problem, here’s a plain comparison for whenever your current office next makes you sit in a waiting room with a squirming eight-year-old at 3pm on a school day.
Our model runs on different physics. No waiting room — kids check in at a kiosk and walk to a chair. About 31 minutes covers cleaning, fluoride, and the dentist’s exam, because everything is staged before the dentist steps in. Hours are 7am to 7pm, seven days, which matters in a household running Fruit Cove school mornings and evening practices on both sides of Race Track Road. And the fee schedule was published before the doors even opened: $79 child cleaning, $60 exam, $55-per-tooth sealants, fillings $175–$295 quoted in writing first. The child membership is $25 a month and swallows the whole prevention year.
We’ll be a short drive down the CR-210 corridor when we open in September 2026 — east of Julington Creek, in the Ponte Vedra–Nocatee corridor, with the exact address announced at lease signing. If the comparison ever tips for your family, the Founding 500 waitlist is where the adult rate locks at $29/month for life.
Why this works from here
- A short drive down the CR-210 corridor from Race Track Road and Julington Creek Plantation — no trip across the county
- Seven-day hours fit the JCP reality: swim, ball, and dance schedules that already own the weekdays
- Records transfer handled for you — switching from a long-time Fruit Cove office is a form, not a breakup
Questions, answered plainly
We’ve used the same family dentist near Race Track Rd for a decade. What would actually be better here?
Three measurable things: time (a ~31-minute choreographed visit instead of a waiting room plus a wandering appointment), access (7am–7pm all seven days, walk-in first), and price transparency (every fee published, every treatment quoted in writing before it happens). If your current office already gives you all three, stay — sincerely. Most can’t give you one.
How painful is moving the kids’ records over?
It’s a signed release form, and we do the chasing. X-rays that are still current transfer with them, which means nothing gets re-shot just because you switched — and nothing gets billed for the privilege. Your previous office cannot refuse to send records; that’s your data, not theirs.
Our kids are 5 and 15 — do they really belong at the same practice?
That spread is exactly what a family studio is for: the five-year-old is in the fluoride-and-sealant years, the fifteen-year-old is in bite-tracking and aligner-conversation territory ($3,700 for a teen course, published like everything else). Same kiosk, same 31-minute rhythm, one stop for you.
What will routine kids’ care cost us without insurance?
A recall visit is $139 at founding fees — $79 cleaning plus $60 exam — with fluoride at $45 and bitewings at $65 only when due. Or the $25/month child plan covers all of it, fluoride every visit included. A full prevention year that runs about $433 à la carte comes to $300 on the plan.
When do you open, and how far from Julington Creek will you be?
Late 2026, in the Ponte Vedra–Nocatee corridor — from Julington Creek that's an easy eastbound run down CR-210, not a haul into Jacksonville. The street address follows at lease signing — waitlist members hear it before anyone else. Until then we're publishing everything else: fees, membership math, and how the model works.
