Go outside The Villages for a dentist.

Went to my dentist up north last summer and he still insisted I didn't need a deep "root" cleaning or deep cleaning as I have said. I had broken my bridge with two teeth, and he was able to reinstall it, for a fraction of what I have had to pay in TV. IMHO. He also repaired a cavity that other dentists never seem to pick up on, after x-rays and a exam.

I have been to several dentists who always say they need to take x-rays and do an exam. I agree with that but several have quoted astronomical prices for work, that didn't need to be done. IMHO

The last person who did a regular cleaning informed me when you give them your insurance card and they see you live in TV, they assume you have a lot of money to pay for a lot of services.

I'm not trying to paint all dentists with a broad brush as I am sure there are honest dentists out there. I just haven't found one in my plan that I feel comfortable with that believe in reasonable and customary cost. I believe in taking care of my health and I am hoping this thread will provide me with a name that's in my plan.
