Call Us with Your Dental Insurance Questions
At Walker & Barr, DMD, we do everything to make high-quality dental care affordable and will be happy to work with your needs. If you are uninsured, we also accept cash, major credit cards, and third-party financing through CareCredit.
While every dental insurance plan is different, unfortunately, most don't tend to cover dental implants. While there may be some coverage for the crown of your dental implant, insurance never fully covers any procedure except for preventive care in some cases. So, you will always have an out-of-pocket expense for major dental treatment.
The best way to determine what your dental benefit coverage may be is to contact our team at (813) 689-5928 and speak with one of our knowledgeable team members who can help you navigate and understand your dental benefits.

We work closely with our patients to help them find creative ways to fit their dental treatment into their budgets.

Our Dental Practice History
When Dr. Marlin D. Walker established this dental office in 1965, he was honored to be only the second full-time dentist in the entire Brandon area. In 1988, Dr. David Walker graduated from UF College of Dentistry and joined his father, Dr. Marlin, in practice.
In 1998, Dr. Marlin retired, and Dr. David’s friend and dental school classmate, Dr. Eric Raynal, brought his skills and personal touch to the practice for 23 years before retiring in 2019.
Dr. Sarah Barr joined the practice the same year, and she and Dr. David intend to carry on the tradition of quality dentistry and a family feel that our patients have come to expect.
We are grateful to our new and long-term family of patients who allow us to continue to serve them and do what we love—provide exceptional dentistry to our wonderful community.
