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 Florida 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 Nidal S Elias 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 Florida Board of Dentistry license-lookup to confirm the license is active and in good standing — federal records do not show state-level discipline. Open the Florida Board of Dentistry 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?”

About prosthodontists

What is a prosthodontist?

A prosthodontist specializes in restoring and replacing teeth: complex crowns, bridges, dentures, full-mouth rehabilitation, and the prosthetic phase of implants. They're the specialty that handles the hardest restorative cases — severe wear, congenital missing teeth, post-cancer reconstruction, and full-arch implant dentures.

Training. After dental school, a prosthodontist completes a 3-year accredited residency. A subset goes on to a 1- to 2-year fellowship in maxillofacial prosthetics for cancer-reconstruction work.
