I would refer you to Dr. Thomas Kim in Leesburg, in shopping center next to Leesburg Walmart. Bright Smile Dental. As a retired DDS, I judge by cleanliness of the office, and how new and up to date the equipment is in the office. They are also very efficient!

My wife and I use Village Dental. Started with them in 2006 and never changed . . no need. Good service, reasonable prices (I've talked to other people about crowns, fillings etc).
Your 1st visit will probably be a little more because they'll want to take x-rays etc. The also talked us into a root scaling on our first cleaning. After that things have been pretty much routine with cleanings about $100 give or take a few dollars depending on what extras you might encure such as more x-rays or mouth cancer test.
One location on east side of 441 near PO & another on 466 near Southern Trace.

I have been going to Dr. Jerkins in Fruitland Park for about ten years. Good service, pleasant atmosphere.

We've been using Dr. Whitt on 27/441 (south of The Villages) for the last 5 years and we've had no problems with them. If you have an emergency they usually fit you in the same day you call.

I started with Village Dental, then switched to Marion Dental 6 years ago. They are awesome. I go to Dr. Edwards. He's great. When I needed a cap years back, my other dentist wanted $1000,00, Marion Dental was $630.00

I go to Village Dental. Great facility, skilled practitioners, very clean, ultra modern equipment, but, in my opinion, very expensive.

We started with Dr. Lesh. Great Place. Fit me in the same day.
He didn't oversell anything.

My wife is totally elated with Palm Ridge Dental (352) 391-9930. She has had a wonderful experience (her words). Believe me, that's an extreme compliment - her idea of a good time doesn't come close to a dental office! Good prices and excellent care and service. Reem Jaber is her dentist and we've heard great things about Kathleen Williams out of the same office. ... and by the way, we learned about them from this forum. Do a search on Kathleen Williams.

Hope this helps.

Xavier

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-Check earlier posts on dental recommendations re: Village Dental before decidiing to go there.

Talking Recommendations on a Dentist

If you need to get rid of extra money... go to Village Dental... they will give you a "treatment plan" that will open your mouth and pocket book... then give you a rose to "make" you smile.....been there done that. My husband and I go to Marion Dental on 441 by Billy's Cafe. Dr. Edwards is a great dentist, cares for his patients, doesn't do more than you need, and fees are more reasonable.
Good Luck!

We go to Buena Vista Dental, Dr. Barnett located in Laurel Manor Shopping Center. He is a caring dentist and health provider and has a very professional staff.
