Dentist
 

Looking for a dentist that doesn't work for a dentistry chain. Someone that doesn't want to replace everything in your mouth. Does only what needs to be done.

We have had good luck with Trailwinds Dental and with Grand Traverse Dental.

There have been many dentist recommendations on TOTV in the past. If you are familiar with the search engine feature of the forum, try searching for the word "dentist." Otherwise, I can recommend my dentist in Bushnell, Dr. Novak of Bushnell Family Cosmetic and Dentistry (or something similar like that). He's on 301 about 30 minutes south from our Tamarind Grove neighborhood. He does not upsell. His prices are not bottom line, but I've heard from another dentist who looked at my x-rays that he does excellent work.

When we first moved here we went to Wildwood Dental because they accepted our insurance. They tried to sell me a whole new mouth. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

I've now been going to Palm Ridge Dental for over three years and love them. The only downside is they don't accept insurance but they do file the paperwork with my insurance company so I do get reimbursed at the contract rate.

My wife goes to Southern Trace Dental, and she's very happy with them. Based on the condition of her tooth or teeth, they do recommend treatment but never have they pushed her towards anything. As an informed patient, they leave the treatment decision completely up to her.

Good luck!

Look even if it's chain before the dentist works in your mouth, use your mouth to tell them what you want and don't want.
If them don't want to adhere to you request just leave that's equivalent to using your mouth to bite their hand.

I’m also looking…
 

I’m seeking an honest dentist who does a good job too. Just wondering: Has anyone had experiences with Premier Dental in The Villages? They sent me an email offering their services with discounts in honor of the new year. I’m quite wary of dentists in general so I’m looking for feedback. Thanks!

Main Street Dentist in Leesburg. We use Dr. Stephen George. Has been very good. No pressure to do un-necessary services.

Marion Dental on 441 north of Buenos Aires. We have been seeing Dr. Wallace for years and are very happy. He gives us the situation and options and lets us make the decision. A lot of years go by with just twice a year cleanings.

After a disaster at Wildwood Dentistry (two of the crowns have fallen off) we found Pristine Dentistry in Leesburg and have been very happy with her.

Southern Trace. Honest dentist

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.

Absolutely the best!

We use Prime Dentistry, 8640 Hwy 466---- same strip mall as Birdie's golf down from churches at 466 and Morse.

good luck

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.

not good one her all will rip you off

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.

Dr. Robert Lesh at Southern Trace Dental on 466. Very good!

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.

Consider Oaks Dental located in Glenview next to the tennis courts. Golf cart accessible. Good treatment. Wait and monitor approach on major actions to insure least expensive procedure is performed.

We used Lifetime Dentistry for 9 years. The called me on Monday to tell me they no longer accept Florida Blue Insurance.

So true. HUGE profit center for the practice, so many dentists will try to scare you into this by telling you that you will loose you teeth unless you get SRP (deep cleaning) with scheduled follow up visits. Get a second opinion from a dentist you can trust.

VIP Dentistry, Angela Emrick, DDS. Located in TV off of 466 near Walmart and the future Costco. Hubby and I are both very happy with her and her staff.

Florida Blue isn't really a great option for dental plans anyway. You could switch to Delta Dental. Lifetime Dentistry accepts their POS plans (that's what I have).
