I use Dr. Lunsford in Leesburg. I don't think he takes dental insurance, but he charges way less than most of The Villages dentists.

IMO (yes I’ve had dental insurance for 20 plus years) ( I can guarantee I paid for every procedure and put money in CEOs bonus). Basically it’s reverse insurance. You pay for two years with little coverage (yep, they pay for cleaning and that it) then after two years they might pay 20 cents on dollar for high dollar procedures if you’re lucky.

So at end of day you pay and the collect you’re monthly payment.
