Been to three in villages before I found one I trust. For general dental care I go to Dr jerkins DDS in fruitland park down 441 just before leesburg. He don’t try to up sell, IMO most dentists won’t refill tooth unless is very small. Grind too much away risk crack which most likely lead to root canal. Cap/crown usually the process to save tooth root which has solid foundation or cap/crown. Which can be easily re-glued or replaced and not damage tooth root structure. At least that what I was told 20 years ago and I still have root structure where capped/ crowned.
