The hygienist was okay--not especially friendly, but she did her job professionally. Dr. Derek, on the other hand, was much more personable. I appreciated that he didn't try to recommend or pressure me into unnecessary procedures or treatments, which can be hard to find these days. The office itself is nice, although I've certainly seen fancier dental offices. In my experience, those upscale offices are often the ones trying to sell you treatments you don't really need, so I actually appreciated the straightforward approach here. Overall, I had a good experience and will definitely return because of the affordable pricing and honest care.

He treated me exceptionally well and went above and beyond to address any concerns or discomfort I had. He immediately ensured I was comfortable and in no pain!

Truly, this is the gentlest dentist I've ever encountered! I'll definitely be coming here from now on. The front desk staff are experts when it comes to insurance verification, which is a relief. It feels great to know they handle everything, so I don't have to deal with my insurance company or go back and forth with the dental office, as I had to with many other dentists in the area who struggled with processing insurance claims.

So, I am now talking with Nancy a manager and she will not call me back with any solution. Conclusion: Gentle Dentist only cares about the money it is going to get and not your personal care or the quality of their work.

I rarely leave negative reviews, especially because my first appointment with Dr. Ledger was…read moreexcellent. He was warm, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. Going into my first filling, I actually felt confident because of how positive that initial experience had been. Unfortunately, today's appointment was the complete opposite. From the moment he walked into the room, he was cold and dismissive. I tried to joke that I wasn't ready yet, hoping to ease my nerves, but he didn't respond. I reminded him that I get very shaky from local anesthetic, and instead of offering reassurance, he said, "You've had a lot of dental work. This is all we've got. You'll be fine." During the procedure, he placed and tightened the thin metal matrix band around my tooth. As soon as it was tightened, I could clearly feel it digging and stabbing into my gum line. This wasn't pressure--it was sharp, localized pain exactly where the band was pressing against my gum. I told him I was in pain, but he argued that it was "just pressure." No, it was pain. I tried to explain that it genuinely hurt, but he became irritated and told me there was nothing he could do about it. The pain continued the entire time the band was in place. At that point, I stopped saying anything and just lay there with tears running down into my ears while he continued working. His incredibly kind assistant quietly wiped away my tears and showed me more compassion than the person performing the procedure. After the anesthetic wore off, my gum remained sore, and I now have a cut along my gum line. After the procedure, instead of apologizing or acknowledging that I had a painful experience, Dr. Ledger asked if I had generalized anxiety. I told him no. It felt like he was trying to blame my reaction on anxiety instead of accepting that I had repeatedly told him I was in pain. I told him I would never come back. His response was, "Really? Wow." He then walked out of the room repeating, "Wooow." I want to be very clear that every other member of the office was wonderful. The front desk staff, hygienist, and assistant were all kind, compassionate, and professional. They deserve five stars. I genuinely feel bad that they have to work with what can only be described as a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality. I know Dr. Ledger personally responds to his reviews, so I'll say this directly: Do better. Patients shouldn't have to argue with their dentist about whether they're feeling pain. If a patient tells you something hurts, listen. Even if there's no alternative, empathy costs nothing. No one should leave a routine filling appointment in tears, be left with an injured gum, and then have their experience dismissed as anxiety. I told you from the very beginning that I was uncomfortable and afraid of dental work. Instead of helping me through that, you made one of my biggest fears come true.

I paid $7,000 upfront for dental work, and ended up with gluing my broken teeth in every day…read more I went to this dental office in Oct/Nov 2024 for crown repairs on four teeth and to replace both my upper denture and lower partial. I paid $7,000 upfront, expecting quality care and a functional result. What followed was seven months of pain, delays, and disappointment. The crown procedures were excruciating. The anesthesia wore off within 15 minutes, and I was injected multiple times. At one point, I was told I had reached the maximum allowed and still wasn't numb--yet the drilling continued. My jaw swelled and bruised for weeks after each visit. I've never experienced this level of pain with any other dental provider. Next came the denture work. The team attempted to modify my old lower partial to fit around the new crowns but broke a clasp in the process, making the partial unstable. They made a temporary one, but it didn't fit properly. For months, I had to rely on gluing my old partial in daily (and still do see end of review) using Poly Grip while waiting for the new dentures. Over the next six months, I had numerous appointments for wax try-ins to select the proper teeth. Each visit brought new issues: the wrong shade, incorrect size, misaligned center line, etc. Six months in, they finally found a match that worked. When the final dentures were delivered, I noticed something shocking: they had no back molars. None. Every denture I've had before included back molars, which are essential for chewing food. I made another appointment and brought my husband along. We met with a dental assistant, explained the issue, and showed her my previous denture sets--all of which had molars. She seemed confused by the omission and called in the lab tech. We explained that four molars (two on top, two on bottom) needed to be added. She agreed and went to get the dentist. When the dentist entered the room, he immediately launched into a hostile tone. His voice was raised, and he accused us of being "too tense." We had said nothing more than, "We'd like the four molars added." We were calm, but he claimed he didn't like our tone. He then stated that he didn't understand the issue and that I "needed to learn how to chew." To try and deescalate the situation, I softly said, "I would please like my four teeth put in my denture plates." His response "There you go--that's all you needed to say," delivered with dismissiveness and blatant condescension. He left the room. My husband and I sat there, stunned by his behavior. The lab tech and assistant returned, apologetic and professional. I showed them again what needed to be added. They confirmed the plates would be ready in three days. Three days later, I picked up the dentures. Yes, the molars had been added. But after all this and 7 months into this, the dentures still did not fit properly. At this point, I was exhausted, emotionally drained, and completely done with the entire process. I left with the poorly fitting dentures and decided to seek help elsewhere. I found a denture repair clinic 1.5 hours away--Quick Denture Repair in Tavares, FL--and saw a gentleman named James. He was professional, respectful, and most importantly, skilled. He successfully repaired the top denture plate so that it now fits properly. Unfortunately, the bottom partial has a metal frame and was not salvageable for repair. As a result, I've had to come up with my own workaround: I now pair the newly repaired top denture with my old lower partial--the one the original dentist's office broke--and glue it in every day. While far from ideal, it's the only solution I've found that allows me to chew food without any discomfort. After 8 months, multiple appointments, and over $8,000 spent--including $1,260 for outside repairs--I left the original dental office with ill-fitting dentures and no lasting solution. It was the most painful and frustrating dental experience of my life. Along with being out all this money and not having a functioning set of new dentures. I absolutely do not recommend this practice.
