Dr. Bhawna Chandra, DDS

Dr. Bhawna Chandra, DDS, is the founding clinician of Island Cosmetic & Family Dentistry and brings more than 20 years of combined clinical experience in India and the United States. Trained at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry and Saurashtra University Dental College & Hospital in India, she practices with a listen-first, conservative-first mindset: if a patient is nervous, short on time, or prefers the simplest effective option, Dr. Chandra adapts the plan to fit their needs. An active member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, Florida Dental Association, and the Dental Society of Greater Orlando, she keeps techniques current through ongoing continuing education.

Island Cosmetic & Family Dentistry is a downtown Cocoa Beach dental practice at 41 N Orlando Ave, Suites 2 and 3 — a short drive from Port Canaveral and convenient for locals and visitors across the Space Coast. The office emphasizes careful dentistry explained …in simple language, modern digital X-rays when helpful, and the same comprehensive exam for everyone who walks through the door. Common services, conditions, and procedures offered include:

• Family dentistry: cleanings, routine checkups, fillings, crowns, and pediatric care (children seen from age 2)
• Cosmetic dentistry: veneers, Lumineers, bonding, professional whitening, and smile makeovers
• Dental emergencies: toothache relief, repair of broken teeth, replacement of lost crowns, and treatment for knocked-out teeth
• Time-sensitive care for cruise passengers and crew (pre-departure and post-port visits)
• Modern diagnostics and materials, evidence-based conservative treatment options

Visits are intended to feel straightforward: check-in, a clear review of the concern, an exam by Dr. Chandra, and options presented in plain language — including simpler paths when appropriate. The practice accepts most major dental PPOs and offers CareCredit, Cherry, and major credit cards; callers can confirm plan participation or ask about expected costs before treatment starts. Island Cosmetic & Family Dentistry positions itself as a neighborhood dental home for Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Merritt Island and the wider Space Coast, and the practice reports strong local praise, including more than 500 five-star Google reviews; patients are welcome to call to request an appointment!
