Meet Our Dentists
We’ve always welcomed children in our dental office, but not all children are able to be patient and cooperative while visiting the dentist. At Grand Dental – Wilmington, our friendly dental team loves to work with the tiniest of tots. From infant well-visits to the teen years, we're ready to help your child establish healthy dental habits for life.
Missing teeth and periodontal (gum) disease are two of the biggest challenges facing patients today. Rather than referring you to an expensive specialist elsewhere, our on-staff periodontist Dr. John Micaletti is ready to help create your beautiful and healthy smile right here in Wilmington.
More than 80% of Americans will have braces at some point during their lives. Whether you need the tooth-moving capabilities of traditional orthodontics or can straighten your smile with the Clear Braces system, our friendly dental team near you works hard to provide top-tier, comprehensive care all in one place.
If you have dental insurance, you’ll be able to get the most out of your benefits when you visit us! We’re proudly in-network with major PPO plans, including Aetna and Cigna.

Meet Our Dental Hygienists
The best way to get in front of periodontal disease is maintaining your routine visits to our caring and dedicated team of dental hygienists in your area. Our goal is to provide consistent monitoring and helpful guidance, so you can keep your natural teeth for a lifetime of smiles.
There are many reasons to visit us at least every 6 months. One of these is to help you learn how to take care of your smile between visits. Using intraoral cameras, x-rays, and much more to monitor decay and gum recession, our hygiene team helps cut serious dental issues off at the pass.
Our dental hygienists take the health and cleanliness of your teeth and gums very seriously. That’s why we make sure they have the best training, tools, and the latest technology. When you mix in a friendly personality and gentle touch, it is a winning combination for our patients.

At Grand Dental – Wilmington, we are fully dedicated to helping each of our patients have the best experience possible at our practice. If you have any questions about dentistry, we will be sure to answer them in full detail to aid you in making the decisions that are best for your overall oral health. Those who prefer to perform research on their own may benefit from reviewing the following FAQs and taking note of our detailed, helpful answers.
It is best to call the nearest emergency room for severe issues such as a fractured jaw. In the event of a dental emergency that is not life-threatening but still requires prompt treatment, we recommend calling our office; we can identify the cause of the emergency and determine the best way to address it in order to prevent further harm and put a stop to any discomfort.
When you contact us for an emergency dental appointment, we will listen carefully while you explain your situation. In addition to making arrangements to see you, we will also provide any first-aid that you may need based on the symptoms that you are experiencing.
When choosing a new dental practice, there are several things that need to be considered. Do they take your dental insurance? Do their hours work with your schedule? What kinds of services do they offer? Take note of these and any other questions you might have; the answers could help you determine whether the practice is truly a good fit for you. It may also be helpful to see what sort of feedback past patients have left for the practice on Google.
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential for identifying and addressing problems in the mouth long before they can turn into emergencies. The exact cost of a dental checkup and cleaning can vary depending on which practice you visit, but on average, the cost may be somewhere between $200 and $350. Of course, this is before taking dental insurance into account; the amount you ultimately need to pay out of pocket can vary depending on the plan that you have.
After earning a bachelor’s degree, aspiring dentists must enroll in one of the 67 accredited dental schools in the United States. They then need to complete three years of classroom and hands-on learning until they eventually earn a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS).
Some dentists may choose to specialize in periodontics, orthodontics, or one of the other specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. To do so, they need to complete another three years of dental school (possibly more, in certain cases).
