How much do you think the person doing the cleaning makes an hour. How often does anyone really need this deep cleaning that dentists down here are famous for selling to anyone walking in their door.

(Avoid Wildwood Dentist which is near Sparr off of 44. They tried all sorts of things to get you to buy extra services.)
they also tried to get me to $$spend massive amounts.

A different angle ...
 
Most posters seem to have found a favorite. Can anyone commeent on a dentist or dental office that should be avoided no matter what (ignoring a focus on cosmetic work)? Thank you.

Sumter Landing Dental Care | Dentist | The Villages, FL
Signed up with Village Health June of 2022 to be able to get a GP and a Dentist. Well we tried Sumter Dental and their next available time for a new patient was November 16th. So a wait of 5 months for a cleaning !!! Two days before the November appointment the Sumter office called and needed to reschedule because the Doctor was not going be in. So I figured next week be OK but nooo February was the next available.
Well we had already found another dentist, but I wanted to play this out , so took the February date. February came and we showed up for the cleaning, but we were told full xrays and evaluation . The cleaning could only be scheduled after we had reviewed their $15,000 proposal for implants and other work. So the new cleaning date is now June of 2023.
That's right -- one year for a new patient with Sumter Dental to finally get a cleaning

We went to Sage Dental near Fenny (same building as Dunkin Donuts). They accept Delta Dental.

Which three offices have you tried who will not do just the basic work?

Dental plans.com show what each procedure should cost. Verify not overpaying

No upsell pressure and great work on fillings and a crown as well as good cleanings. Don't let his youthful appearance deter you. Lifetime Dentistry of Lady Lake is your dental care provider in Lady Lake, Florida..
Another vote for Dr Altoos
