At William E Carroll Jr. DDS, we believe that the cost of care should never prevent patients from seeking treatment.
Financial Center
No Insurance?
We have options.
Don’t let the high cost of dental care prevent you from taking care of your teeth.
Our dental financing helps to ensure that Dr. William and his staff are able to provide you with the finest and most comprehensive periodontal and implant treatments available today. Since every patient’s condition and treatment needs are unique, we will complete our examination and consultation before presenting a treatment plan and the fees for care. Naturally, the fees will vary considerably depending upon your condition, the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. Our philosophy is to treat you as conservatively as possible to attain your treatment goals.
Our staff is highly skilled at determining and maximizing your insurance benefits. However, the cost of necessary treatment is ultimately the patient’s personal responsibility. Our business staff will make every effort to make your treatment financially manageable.
Smile Easy Savings Plan
Members Smile Easy Plan can give you access to the basic dental care that you and your family need at a price that will not break your budget. You can use this plan as soon as you sign up and it covers things such as routine exams, full mouth X-rays, cleanings, fluoride treatments and oral cancer screenings. There are no forms, no exclusions and no maximums.
Sunbit Pay-over-time

INSURANCE
We strive to keep our fees as low as possible for the benefit of everyone. We do not establish our fees on the basis that insurance companies will pay them. Our fees are based on the exceptional skill, time, judgment, professional care, and office environment provided by Dr. William and his staff. We strive to continuously provide the best care available anywhere in the world on a daily basis regardless of insurance involvement.
Our insurance coordinator is here to help you in obtaining the full benefits you are entitled to under your dental insurance plan. There are hundreds of dental insurance plans in existence and some of these companies change policies and guidelines weekly, therefore we encourage you to bring all your insurance benefit information, including your booklet, forms and insurance card to your appointment, and to keep us informed of any change to your insurance.
Please keep in mind once again your policy is written by your EMPLOYER not your insurance company and your company will seek the plan that is best for them based on the overall group rates. If you want your benefits changed you must speak to your human resources department regarding your policy.
Many EMPLOYERS continuously shop for new plans and better rates, please make sure you follow up with any changes. We cannot update your plan information unless you notify us of the change. It is your responsibility to bring us all the correct information and keep us updated.
To find out if your insurance is covered; speak with our staff by contacting our office at 770-941-5111.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I visit the dentist?
We recommend scheduling dental cleanings and exams every six months for optimal oral health. However, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits based on your specific needs.
Do you accept my insurance?
We work with a wide variety of dental insurance providers. Please contact our office or visit our Insurance & Payment page for a full list of accepted plans.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit typically includes a comprehensive exam, X-rays, and a discussion about your dental health goals. This helps us create a personalized treatment plan for you.
How often should I brush my teeth, and what is the proper technique?
You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, especially before bed, using a soft-bristle toothbrush and an ADA-approved toothpaste. For the best results:
- Hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gums.
- Use gentle, circular motions to brush the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces of each tooth.
- Don’t forget to brush the inside of your front teeth and your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.
Electric toothbrushes are also recommended as they can efficiently remove plaque by simply guiding the brush while it works on multiple teeth at a time.
How often should I floss, and what is the correct way to do it?
You should floss daily to remove plaque and food particles between your teeth and under the gumline, where a toothbrush can’t reach. Follow these steps for effective flossing:
- Use about 12-16 inches of dental floss, wrapping it around your middle fingers, with 2 inches of floss between them.
- Gently insert the floss between your teeth using a sawing motion.
- Curve the floss into a “C” shape around each tooth, sliding it up and down to clean the side of each tooth and below the gumline.
If you find regular floss difficult to use, floss holders are a helpful alternative.
How often should I schedule dental cleanings and exams?
It is generally recommended to schedule dental cleanings and exams every six months. Regular visits help prevent common issues like cavities, gum disease, and plaque buildup. They also allow your dentist to catch potential problems early. However, depending on your oral health, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits. Always follow your dentist’s advice based on your individual needs.
