DeLand has a way of making people stay, with its brick-lined Woodland Boulevard, oak-shaded neighborhoods, and a college town feel that never quite fades. When you choose a dentist here, you want the same thing you get from your favorite downtown spots: someone who remembers you and does the job right the first time.
Precision Cosmetic & Family Dentistry welcomes DeLand patients to our New Smyrna Beach office, where Dr. James Kortbus offers careful, relationship-first dental care. DeLand is one of the Volusia County communities we serve, and State Road 44 runs straight from your side of the county to ours.
Request an AppointmentA DeLand Connection That Runs Deep
Dr. Kortbus has a personal tie to DeLand. He graduated from Stetson University before earning his dental degree at New York University College of Dentistry and completing a one-year hospital residency at Queens Hospital Center. When it came time to build a practice, he came home to Volusia County.
That background shapes how he works with DeLand families. He takes time to explain every option, including the more conservative ones, and he never treats a patient as an appointment slot. Our goal is to be the dental home you keep for years, not just the office you visit once.
Planning Care Around the Drive From DeLand
We know a trip across the county takes planning, so we design treatment to make each visit count. Our goal is to accomplish as much as we safely can in one appointment.
Grouped Appointments
When you need more than one procedure, we look for ways to combine them. A cleaning, exam, and small filling, for example, may fit into a single visit instead of three separate ones.
Same-Day Crowns
Our CAD/CAM system lets us design and mill many crowns in our office while you wait. You can often leave with your final crown instead of a temporary, which saves a return trip on State Road 44.
Surgery and Restoration Under One Roof
Dr. Kortbus places dental implants and performs many oral surgery procedures in our office. Your imaging, surgery, and final restoration stay with one team, so you are not driving to separate offices across Central Florida.
Services DeLand Patients Rely On
Our practice offers a full range of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. DeLand patients most often visit us for the following care:
- Dental implants: Single teeth, bridges, or full arches anchored in the jaw. Learn about dental implants for DeLand patients.
- Implant-supported dentures: A denture that snaps onto implants for better stability. See implant-supported dentures in DeLand.
- Cosmetic dentistry: Whitening, veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers. Explore DeLand cosmetic dentistry.
- Checkups and cleanings: Thorough exams with digital x-rays, intraoral photos, and oral cancer screenings.
- Second opinions: A fresh look at a treatment plan you received elsewhere before you commit.
Each service begins with a consultation so you know your options, your timeline, and your estimated cost before treatment starts. We can also review your insurance benefits ahead of time.
Keeping Up With Regular Visits
Routine care is the easiest way to avoid larger dental bills later. The CDC reports that 63.7% of adults 65 and older had a dental visit in 2022, which means more than a third went a full year without one. For DeLand’s many retirees, a dependable dental home can make it simpler to stay on schedule.
Our dental exams and cleanings include a careful check of your gums, existing restorations, and soft tissue. Patients without insurance can join our in-house membership plan for $299 per year, which covers exams, x-rays, and healthy mouth cleanings, plus 20% off other treatment.
Insurance and Payment Options for DeLand Families
Cost should never be the reason you put off care. We work with a wide range of dental plans, including Delta Dental PPO, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Dental, Guardian, MetLife, and Humana, and our team can check your benefits before your appointment.
For larger treatment plans, we offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Cherry. Cherry has offered 0% financing for up to 24 months for qualified patients, which can make implants or cosmetic work easier to fit into a monthly budget.
Comfortable Care Backed by Modern Tools
Our office uses digital x-rays, intraoral cameras, a PrimeScan digital scanner, and 3D CBCT imaging. These tools give Dr. Kortbus a clearer picture of your mouth and let you see the same images on screen as he explains what he found.
A diode laser allows gentler treatment of certain soft tissue concerns, often with less bleeding and faster healing. Combined with a team that explains each step before it happens, these tools help nervous patients feel more at ease in the chair.
