Sumter Landing Dental Care
 

Have been a patient of Sumter Landing Dental Care for 5 years.
Wonder if any one else has experienced the following : After my last dental cleaning in June of 2020 or so, a new appointment was made for cleaning for Nov.2020 - they called and rescheduled that for Dec.due to Covid - OK no problem - then they rescheduled that one for Jan.7, 2021 - ok still not allarmed - then on Jan.4, 2021 they contacted me to let me know that the Doctor wasn't in that day and they had to reschedule ....... for JUNE of 2021 . due to Florida law that the Dentist has to excam prior to cleaning ! What the HECK is going on at Sumter Landing Dental Care ! ! ! Very unhappy with the whole issue - it can't be JUST because of the Covid issues. (and all that after I spend more than 10 thousand dollars out of pocket with them in the last 2 years !

Anyone else that has this experience with them ?

i use them, & yes, they have VERY STRICT covid rules, but i don't think it's just them. dentists have a different protocol because they're routinely exposed to various body fluids. if all you spent was 10 grand, consider yourself lucky, lol. i've had some appointments cancelled, but what can you do? speak to the office manager herself, she will do her best. in the meantime if you have pain, you can directly make an appt with an oral surgeon, but some treatments/surgeries may not be covered

Depends on whether they was free appointments after the 10 grand? I would be toothless hillbilly before I would spend 10 grand on couple teeth. Now whole mouth full? that’s doable, maybe? Luckily I still have good teeth.

I still have not found a dentist I trust, after three years in T.V. .. Without fail, all trying to expensive up sale me with different procedures, after initial cleaning.. Coming in from the Keys, had Everything taken care of before leaving the keys, including two implants...I know from the X-rays, that the damage they were showing me were fraudulent.......

You obviously haven’t been to
 

dentist to have any dental work lately ( lucky you) $10,000 doesn’t get you to far these days ( keep flossing)

Beware of the new trailwinds dental in wildwood. Just another money hungry dental office in the villages. I'm going outside the villages from now on.

Lots of horror stories about dental upselling in The Villages. Outside of The Villages, not so much.

I've been using Dr. Forrest Jerkins in Fruitland Park because of recommendations on the site. I used Sumter Landing Dental before that because they were in my Medicare network. After several free cleanings, I was told they wouldn't do anymore free cleanings until I had a deep gum cleaning. That's when I left and went with Dr. Jerkins. Said I didn't need a deep gum cleaning, and has never done anything that isn't needed. Sent me to Villages Endodontics to test a couple of teeth for root canals and crowns, and after seeing the x rays, told me that one tooth was find, and only needed one crown on the one I had the root canal on. I have Delta Dental Premier, but not sure what other insurance he accepts

I had to go to the Summerfield office for my teeth cleaning

We use Serenity Denistry in Spanish Springs. They are very careful, have air cleaners in each room, they wear ultra protective headgear, patients only take mask off for actual work in the mouth, and they do not try to sell you on work needing done. Regarding teeth cleaning, it's nice to get it done every six months, but it's not mandatory. If you brush well, floss, etc., you can go a year unless you have some oral medical reason not to.

Sumter Dental is the worst. Don’t ever go there.

Marion Dental hasn’t cancelled any appointments and I also see a periodontist once a year and no cancellation at his office either.

Absolutely has to do with COVID and yes, it's not just you.

Go toothless before spending $10,000

Palm Ridge Dental is the BEST!
 

Highly recommend any of the three dentists practicing there.
