Frequently Asked Questions

Specialty in dentistry is a wonderful thing, however, the advantages of having one doctor with advanced training across all disciplines of dentistry are huge. Over the past 17+ years, Dr. Sherberg has trained with the best specialists and gained extensive experience in the nuances of the surgical and restorative aspects of dentistry. If you’ve ever wondered if there are other options for your treatment, you can rest assured that Dr. Sherberg has considered all the potential solutions available.

Of course, not one doctor can master all aspects of dentistry. When necessary, Dr. Sherberg coordinates care with carefully vetted specialists. He will even attend the surgery to ensure it fits into the overall plan.

Have you been told that removing your teeth is your only option? Maybe it is, but maybe it isn’t! Dr. Sherberg doesn’t only replace teeth with dental implants. We frequently meet patients who have been told there is only one solution for their dental problems – and then after consulting with Dr. Sherberg, they learn about 2 or 3 new options!

We take patient consultations seriously and dedicate time to consider both your treatment goals and budget. You will leave here understanding exactly why some options are better than others – and maybe even learning about a new option that you didn’t even know about!

The main differences here are:

Quality, Training, and Experience of the Dentist. Dr. Sherberg oversees your entire treatment, from start to finish. You see the same dentist every appointment instead of a new person trying to get up to speed on your situation each visit.
Our Office is Focused on Patient Satisfaction, Period. Corporate offices have monthly quotas, cost-cutting, and shareholder profit goals.

There are many benefits of Concierge Medicine including:

• Unhurried office visits and more time with the doctor.
• One-on-one consults with the doctor to discuss your diagnosis and treatment options.
• No waiting. Our appointments run on time. We understand how busy life can be and your time is valuable, too.
• Full costs of treatment are provided upfront before you begin any work — even for complex Smile Makeover cases involving several specialties of dentistry!
• Limited referrals outside of our office. Most procedures and surgeries are done right here by one doctor.
• Careful coordination with the best dental specialists in the Tampa Bay area, if needed.
• Careful review of your medical history and prompt coordination of care with your medical doctor(s).
• Coordinated Pharmacy medication care.

Do you have a busy lifestyle? Do you need treatment to be completed as efficiently as possible?

Also referred to as boutique practice, a concierge practice prioritizes the doctor’s time with patients. At other offices, dentists are often forced to see more patients and spend less time with each patient. This decreases the patient’s quality of care. This also means longer waiting times to see a doctor who often has little time to spend with you because other patients are waiting too.

Other dental offices may delegate important tasks to non-doctor staff whenever possible, increasing the chances of error. Concierge doctors, sometimes referred to as boutique doctors, simply see fewer patients and give the highest quality of care possible to each one.

Your Dental Concierge Plan (DCP) membership includes preventive and diagnostic services. In addition, you will receive unlimited savings of 15-20% off other treatments you may need. This is an obvious benefit for those who don’t have insurance. Most of our patients are members.

Our office also accepts all PPO dental insurance. These are insurance plans that let you choose your doctor instead of giving you a list of doctors that you must see to receive benefits. Patients often find that membership in our Dental Concierge Plan provides richer benefits and more savings than their insurance plan. The DCP plan cannot be used in conjunction with another dental insurance plan.

Dental Concierge Plan membership fees are paid at the beginning of the membership period using cash, check, or credit card.

For treatment, Bayway Dental offers multiple financing options for those who qualify with approved credit. Some options include:

• No down payment required

Our Financial Coordinator will work with you to get a monthly payment that works for your budget.

If you need to reschedule we ask that you provide 24 hours notice to avoid the cancellation fee of $100. This ensures that other patients who need care can be seen promptly and our providers are helping those who need it as efficiently as possible.
