From the initial call to the appointment, the staff here made it a very easy and smooth process. The facilities are spacious and modern. The aesthetics from the lobby to the rooms lend an air of spa-like relaxation. The people are where this practice truly shines. They made me feel comfortable and at ease. They seem to know that going to the dentist is not at the top of my list of favorite places, but their friendliness and professionalism put you at ease right away. Even in dealing with my insurance, they filed the paperwork for me. If you have any qualms about going to the dentist, this should be your first stop.

On April 8, 2026 I went for a regular cleaning. Dr. Tamburello told me that I had to refresh a…read morefilling and saw that I had a crown, he asked me how long I had it and I told him 9 years. He said that he had to check if I had cavities (which he could've tell by seeing the X-rays). When he broke my crown he told me that there wasn't cavities and that I needed a new crown now. He worked on the bottom tooth "to refresh the filling" after I started to feel strong pain, electricity going to my brain. I went to the office to see what was that strong pain. Dr. Tamburello saw the tooth that he worked on and said he forgot to lower the filling (which he proceeded to file down). After he finished, he told me that he was 95% sure that the upper tooth that was aligned with the one that he worked was fractured and to come back in 2 weeks and see if the pain was persisting. Two weeks later on June 3, 2026 I went to the office because the pain was unbearable and my cheek was hot and in pain. I told him in tears that I was still in pain and that I needed some antibiotics to lower that inflammation on my cheek. His assistant spoke on his behalf and refused. I told her I want to hear the doctor after she rudely interrupted. The doctor got mad just from that and he told me that he was going to defend her "10/10". There was nothing to defend. I just wanted him to prescribe me antibiotics for the pain. After this, I went for a second opinion and I was told that the tooth was fractured and the solution was to extract and do an implant which would cost $7,000. If Dr. Tamburello wouldn't have touched my mouth everything would be perfect and my teeth would be fine. The part that bothers me is that I went only for a cleaning and the practice bilked me and both of my insurance providers. Why should I pay the price of someone else's mistake? Also, I requested my record and they refused to give it to me, which that's against the law. Please save yourself from going to this place.

Smile Design Ocala: The Dental Dealership Experience…read more You know how car dealerships lure you in with a shiny sticker price, then by the time you're signing paperwork you've somehow agreed to pay for undercoating, a nitrogen tire package, and a "documentation fee" that exists purely to make a grown adult cry in a cubicle? Dentist offices have cracked that same code, and Smile Design in Ocala is no exception. I called ahead. I asked the right questions. I was told, clearly, that my out-of-pocket cost with no insurance would be $150. That number lived rent-free in my head the entire drive over. One hundred and fifty dollars. I had budgeted. I had mentally prepared. I marched back to that dental chair with the confidence of someone who had done their homework. You can probably guess where this is going. Somewhere between the bib and the bright light in my face, a $49 fee materialized out of thin air. For what, exactly? Great question. The explanation was the kind of vague, practiced non-answer that suggests they have given it many times before. It had the energy of a car dealer explaining what "market adjustment" means - technically words, technically a sentence, completely devoid of useful information. Look, $49 is not going to ruin my life. But it is going to ruin my mood, my trust, and my willingness to recommend you to literally anyone I know. Transparency is free. Surprises at checkout are not the flex you think they are.

I never got my teeth cleaned but they showed me pictures of a cracked tooth and 3 cavities that I needed fixed. Total cost after insurance would be well over $1200. I was told that my share for the cleaning would be $137 after the insurance. So I went back to my old dentist. Marion Dental Group. After the same x-rays, and after a thorough cleaning I was told I had no cavities and no cracked teeth! Cost for the cleaning was $140. That was out of pocket, no insurance. My husband had gone to Discovery and was also shown a picture of what was suppose to be his cracked tooth. He allowed them to cap it and paid over $1000. I'll bet his picture was the same picture I saw. Of course we can't prove it. What tipped me off to fraud, in my opinion, was that the dentist looked in my mouth and told the tech to take pictures of certain teeth. If she could see these issues visually, what was the point of all the x-rays? Needless to say, I am very skeptical about this place's ethics.

I was allowed to watch on a big screen as Dr. Harper examined my teeth on my first visit! It sounded scary to see up close, but it was really neat! He is the most gentle dentist, and thoughtful. He doesn't hurt you at all. Other dentists have shamed me for crying, even yelled at me as a kid. He fixed a temp tooth sitting on an implant that an Oral Surgeon put on too tight. It was put in so badly by the other doctor, it broke and loosened the real tooth next to it. Dr. Harper recemented it and shaved it down to fit properly no charge, after my cleaning. The hygenist is really nice, and patient as well. People who are afraid of the dentist should def. go here. Everyone from front desk, to the back team are friendly and make you feel welcome, when other dentists treat you like you don't know your own mouth, or that you're an annoyance for being afraid. They completely understand at OcalaSmiles. I drink a lot of soda, like lots of people, and every office I've been to it's "Just stop drinking soda all together"... and left it at that. Of course, I love my soda and didn't stop. By the time I found Dr. Harper, the soda had done damage. Instead of shaming me, or trying to browbeat me into quitting soda, I was given an explanation of HOW soda works and work arounds to prevent more issues. Now, I drink my soda through a straw and swish with water many times a day after having a pop. I know it's not the best way, but the improvement in my mouth health has never been this good since I started swishing all that sugar out of my mouth. They treat you like a real person, and they listen. When I gave them my nitrous number, they said "Ok, let's try it and see how it goes." They made me feel SO comfortable, that I didn't want as much nitrous on my second visit. I'll NEVER be a patient elsewhere. After avoiding the dentist for a decade, Dr. Harper has changed that.

In my early sixties I had a terrible experience with a tooth extraction at a "clinic" that was part of a chain. It took three visits to get the tooth removed and I was unable to be numbed completely. I was so traumatized I didn't want to get my teeth cleaned for fear of getting in the dentist chair again. I got up my nerve and started asking about dentist recommendation and Dr. Harper's name came up often. Dr. Harper was recommended to me by a woman I worked out with at the gym. She also had fear of going to the dentist until she started going to Dr. Harper. I have been going to Dr. Harper for many years now. He has filled teeth, put on crowns and referred me out when I had root canals and needed a tooth implant. I now have no fear of the dentist. Dr. Harper is kind, respectful and skillful to the point of having an artist for my teeth! Recently I decided to get veneers since my teeth were thin and grey looking from age. The process was not difficult. I had very little sensitivity during the temp stage and once the final product was placed there was no sensitivity. The entire staff at Dr. Harpers are warm, friendly and out for your best interest just like Dr. Harper. I wish there was a 10 star category because that is what I give Dr. Harper!!
