Good luck with that!! The dental business down here is a big racket! We've never missed our dentist up north so much as we have since we moved here. We're going to Herb Bennett in Leesburg but he doesn't in our Medicare network.

Call Dr. Kevin Wallace: (352) 259-0822. He has been our Dentist for 14 years, since moving to The Villages. He and his Staff are excellent. He is very professional and very patient and caring. The practice is called the Marion Dental Group. The office is on 441.There are 5 or 6 Dentists in the Practice. So, if Dr. Wallace is not available-- you should be able to see one of the other Dentists.

Default Independent and Honest

Dr. Forrest Jerkins in Fruitland Park on 441. My wife and I have been with him for many years now after our other independent dentist retired. Rates are on par with others, but he does only what’s necessary.

I have been very happy with Dental Care on Fennell, DMD Sonia Rivero Fernandez, on 441 in the north section of the Villages.

Didn’t go to the dentist for over 10 years… When I found her, she was the only one that didn’t recommend three fillings and two crowns. She told the truth… I only needed one crown. Get outside The Villages to get your teeth done! Plus, her prices are much less… She’s amazing, gentle, honest, and caring. Everyone we have sent to her, loves her!

This strikes close to home for me. I removed my bib and left 2 dentist's chairs before landing in one that is excellent. I am adverse to x-rays - and only allow them when needed. Grand Traverse and another I cannot recall refused to clean my teeth without x-rays.

I highly recommend Main Street Dentists in Leesburg. They respect my position on x-rays and don't try to drum up business in any other way. I have been with them for 5 years now.

I had never heard of "deep cleaning" until I moved to The Villages. If a dentist in The Villages recommends a deep cleaning and refuses to do a regular cleaning, run away.

I use Dr. Chris Lunsford in Leesburg. Excellent dentist.
