CEREC dentist
 

Can anyone recommend a CEREC dentist (one day crowns made in office)?
Has anyone had any experience with Dental Touch which advertises CEREC?

Country Village Dental
 

After my earlier post I did go to Country Village Dental and had my Digital crown done and I am very satisfied with the work and the office. The office is a little homespun, but everyone was very nice (read: lower overhead = fair pricing). The price was very reasonable for the crown around $800 excluding root canal work which I did have to have done (also fairly priced). Insist on Dr. Toombs as he is the Digital expert. They accept a variety of insurance including UHC which I have. ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE for additional "gum disease" or "restorative" work. I will be going back.
The office is on 441 in Fruitland Park on the northbound side just north of the Flea Market and RV place (stand alone white building set back a little)

Two recommendations on dentists - one good and one bad.

On the GOOD side, Dr. Don Burbank right here in TV on 441 just south of the Golf Cart Bridge. I've had very good experiences there.

On the BAD side, avoid Dr. Seabrook. He has practiced in a lot of places in and around TV such as Colony Dental, Legacy (now Royal) Dental, and a few others. He is currently at (I think) Summerfield Dental which is across from Walmart on 441 but in a building not well marked with any name. My bride had a terrible experience with him and I have talked with several others who have horror stories about Joe Seabrook.:cus:

Went to Magnolia Dental for the $60 cleaning and exam as advertised in the paper. Saw me about 10 minutes after my appointment time and did everything as promised in the ad including full mouth xrays for the $60!
Has anyone else had any dealings with them, particularly with implants? I am considering the implants, but would like to hear from someone who has had this work done at Magnolia.

are you still happy with Dr. Ross?

I had the same experience but not in The V. We have insurance and the first visit went much like the Villages Kahuna's. They seem to all go for the "deep cleaning" spiel. I'm looking for an old fashion dentist that only does the necessary work and I can just come in for a twice a year cleaning, and yearly exrays.I haven't been to the dentist for a year because I don't want to get any unnecessary work done, and if you refuse to do the work they say "you need" they won't be your dentist. That happened to my husband when he refused to go with their plan for him.

Delta Dental (PPO)
 

I'm searching for a dentist that takes Delta Dental (PPO) insurance. I checked the Delta Dental web-site, D and G Dental Services PA on 560 N. 27/441 is listed with 8 dentists listed. Has anyone gone to D and G Dental Services?
Can anyone recommend a local dentist who takes Delta Dental?
:D

Delta Dental
 

Yes, I can. My husband goes to Dr Christensen in Leesburg and likes him. He takes Delta Dental. Also Dr Lesh off 466 near Publix also takes Delta Dental.

When we moved here, I couldn't find an acceptable dentist that took Delta Dental and started going to Dr McKnight at Buena Vista Dental. I use my Delta Dental insurance and pay the difference. I really like her. That said, my husband found Dr Christensen and really likes him. He is in the Delta Dental group. Not a bad drive.

Hi,
I'm relatively new in the villages and my wife & I are looking for reccommendations for a good dentist.I see this post hasn't been addressed since july 07 and would like some opinions based on recent experiences..Thanks:icon_wink:

DR. Barnett-----Buena Vista Dental @ Laurel Manor

Both my husband and I go to Dr. Kathleen Williams at Palm Ridge Dental. She knows we don't have dental insurance and gives us quotes before we have work done. We get cleanings 2x year, and I just recently had 3 teeth bonded at $200 a tooth. When she and my husband didn't like the way one tooth looked after bonding she spent 2 more appointments working with it until they were satisfied. No charge for the extra appts. She has never insisted or suggested any work that we did not agree or ask for. I highly recommend her and her staff. Even the "office girls" are all former professional hygenists. BTW-I have also heard horror stories from friends about "Villages Dental."

An Awesome Visit
 

My husband and I just had to have dental work done. After talking with my grandfather who just had major work done to get dentures he recommended Dr Cooley at Carolina Dentures off of 466 by the fruit stand. Neither one of us (my husband and I) like going to the dentist. I was the first to go and walked out a very satisfied patient. I seen Dr Cooley and she was very gentle and very pleasant. My Husband saw Dr Gonzalez and he said that he was very pleased with him as well. I told my husband before he went (because he was complaining about going to the dentist because he HATES getting dental work done) that he would enjoy his visit because the staff there are VERY friendly and VERY professional. They have soft music playing and you do not feel claustrophobic because the exam areas are more open.

Dentist OMG
 

Wow! I had the same experience at Aspin Dental. At lesat you got a 'normal' cleaning. Aspin Dental refused to give me a normal cleaning rather than a Deep Cleaning, stating 'Liability". I, too, went back up north to see a reputable dentist who said I didn't need any work now, just a cleaning.

How do these people get away with this?. What happened to medical ethics?

I agree. I went to a first visit this week with Dr. Burbank and I have not missed a six month check up for 30 years.

He said I needed over $14,000 of dental work. That is fourteen thousand dollars. Crowns etc. I obviously will go to another person or fly back to Cincinnati.

Dentist advice
 

I asked a college classmate who is a well respected dentist in the Boston area how to find a "Good" dentist in FL. His advice was to ask a periodontist and/or oral surgeon for his/her recommendations, as they see everyone's work. Ask several and see what names pop up more than once.

After many years of research and watching the medical tourism industry evolve, I finally went to Cost Rica for complete dental rehab; including 7 implants and several new crowns. I stand atop the flagpole and enthusiastically recommend this trip to anyone. Phenomenal service and care, very experienced ... and so affordable that it makes you take notice of the arrogant monopoly that dominates the dental profession in the U.S.
