Before you book

Five-minute checklist before you call

Federal data tells you a dentist exists and is enumerated. It does not confirm insurance acceptance, current availability, or office fit. Use this list when you call so the visit isn’t a surprise.

  1. Confirm insurance & out-of-pocket cost

    • “Do you accept my exact insurance plan? (give the carrier, plan name, and member ID)”
    • “Are you accepting new Alabama Medicaid patients right now?”
    • “What is the out-of-pocket cost I should expect for the type of visit I need?”
    • “If you are out of network for me, can you bill my insurer or only me?”

  2. Verify the dentist & availability

    • “Is Joan-Marie Shanahan Manolakis the dentist who will see me, or another provider in the practice?”
    • “Are you accepting new patients? When is the next available appointment?”
    • “Will the same dentist handle follow-up visits, or rotate?”

  3. Verify the license yourself

    Search the Alabama Board of Dental Examiners license-lookup to confirm the license is active and in good standing — federal records do not show state-level discipline. Open the Alabama Board of Dental Examiners site →

  4. Match office services to your needs

    • “Do you offer emergency or same-day appointments? After-hours number?”
    • “What languages do your front desk and clinical staff speak?”
    • “Is the office wheelchair-accessible? Any accommodations available on request?”
    • “Do you offer sedation options for anxious patients (nitrous, oral, IV)?”
    • “Do you treat pediatric patients in this practice, or refer them to a pediatric dentist?”

Ready to call? Have your insurance card and a list of symptoms or visit reasons in front of you.

About endodontists

What is a endodontist?

An endodontist specializes in problems involving the tooth's pulp and the tissues around the root. The bulk of their practice is root canal treatment and root canal retreatment, plus apicoectomy (surgical root-end procedures), traumatic dental injuries, and cracked teeth. They use operating microscopes and rotary instruments that most general dentists don't.

Training. After dental school, an endodontist completes a 2- to 3-year accredited residency focused exclusively on the dental pulp, root canal treatment, and surgical endodontics. Board certification is through the American Board of Endodontics.
