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.

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.
