Gentle, judgment-free care — we'll explain everything in plain language.

A regular exam is the simplest, most affordable thing you can do for your teeth — catching a small issue now means it stays small. At Ted M Pinney DDS, we take our time with every exam, showing you exactly what we see on the screen and explaining what it means in plain language. You'll leave our Jacksonville office knowing what's going on in your mouth and feeling like you were heard, not rushed.

What to expect.

  1. We start with a real conversation

    We ask about any changes to your health, how things have felt since your last visit, and anything that's been on your mind — no detail is too small.

  2. A gentle, thorough look

    We go through your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues carefully, including a quick, comfortable oral cancer screening.

  3. X-rays when they'll actually help

    If we need a closer look at something, we take low-radiation digital X-rays and walk you through them right there on the screen.

  4. Your results, in plain English

    We tell you everything we found, what it means, and what your options are — no pressure, no jargon, just an honest picture of where things stand.

Have questions about Dental Exams?

How often do I actually need a dental exam?
Most people do well coming in every six months, but we'll suggest a schedule that makes sense for you specifically — not a one-size-fits-all answer.
Are digital X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays use a very small amount of radiation — much less than older film X-rays. We only take them when they'll genuinely help us look after you.
Will the exam be uncomfortable?
A standard exam is gentle and non-invasive. If anything ever feels off, just say so and we'll pause — you're always in control.
What happens if you find something?
We'll walk you through exactly what we found, why it matters, and what your options are — then the decision is yours, at your own pace. No pressure, ever.
What will an exam cost me?
It depends on your individual situation. We check your insurance first or if you are a self-pay, then put together a clear, itemized estimate before anything begins — no surprises. If cost is a concern, just let us know and we'll talk through what's available to you.

It’s a pleasure to care for you.

Book your visit and we’ll take it from there — gently, and at your pace.
