Serving Belleview
A tooth cracks on a Saturday morning, a denture breaks the week before a family reunion, or a teenager finally admits that the clicking in their jaw hurts more than they let on. These are the moments that send Belleview families looking for a dental office that can actually handle the problem — not refer it out, not schedule it for next month. We built our practice around being that office, and we've been caring for patients across Marion County for more than 30 years.
Belleview is a community where people know their neighbors, and we've found that word travels fast when a dental office treats folks well. Many of the Belleview patients we see first came to us because someone they trust pointed them our way. We take that seriously, and we try to earn it at every visit by explaining what we see, showing you your options, and letting you decide what makes sense for your mouth and your budget.
We welcome patients of all ages, so one family can be seen under one roof. Children getting their first exams, sealants, and fluoride treatments. Teens in clear aligners. Adults needing crowns, root canals, or gum care. Grandparents working through denture repairs or implant-supported replacements. For Belleview households juggling work schedules and school pickups, that kind of consolidation matters — fewer offices to coordinate, fewer records to transfer, one team that already knows your history.
Your first visit starts with a thorough dental exam, cleaning with our hygienist, and an oral cancer screening. From there, care branches out based on what you actually need. On the preventive side, that might mean regular cleanings, sealants, or a custom night guard if you're grinding. On the restorative side, we provide fillings, bonding, crowns, bridges, onlays, and full mouth rehabilitation for patients who need a comprehensive rebuild.
What sets our day-to-day apart is our on-site dental lab. Because we fabricate work in-house, we're able to offer same-day crowns, dentures, and denture repairs. That means a Belleview patient with a broken partial doesn't have to wait weeks while it ships to an outside lab. We also keep room for same-day emergency appointments, which matters when a traumatic dental injury or sudden severe toothache can't wait.
Our team also handles care that many general offices send elsewhere, and in most cases no referral is needed:
- Root canal therapy on front teeth, premolars, and molars, including retreatments and cracked-tooth evaluations
- Oral surgery, including simple and surgical extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, and sinus lift surgery
- Gum care, from scaling and root planing and periodontal maintenance to gum grafting, crown lengthening, gingivectomy, and periodontal regeneration
- Dental implants, including single implants, implant-supported bridges, All-on-4, full arch, and Teeth In A Day
- Orthodontics with Invisalign and clear aligners for children and adults, plus transfer cases and replacement retainers
- TMJ and orofacial pain therapy for jaw clicking, locking, limited movement, jaw-related headaches, and chronic facial pain
Cosmetic options round things out: porcelain and composite veneers, in-office and take-home whitening, gum contouring, and smile-design consultations.
Comfort, Follow-Through, and Aftercare
We know dental anxiety keeps people away, so we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation to help nervous patients get through longer or more involved appointments. Laser dentistry is available for certain procedures. If you've put off care for years, you won't get a lecture from us — you'll get a plan broken into steps you can manage.
Aftercare is where results hold up or fall apart. Following implant placement, we provide ongoing implant maintenance. After gum disease treatment, we move patients onto a periodontal maintenance schedule rather than sending them back to standard cleanings. After orthodontic treatment, retainers keep teeth where we moved them. We'll tell you plainly what to watch for at home and when to call us.
Insurance, Payment, and Scheduling
We accept all major PPO insurance plans and file claims as a general practice, including for root canals, surgery, orthodontics, gum treatment, and prosthetics. We also welcome self-pay and cash patients, and we offer flexible payment plans so larger treatment — implants, full arch work, full mouth reconstruction — can be spread out rather than paid all at once. We'll go over estimates before you commit to anything.
Dr. Hussein Salifu and Dr. Marco Geris lead our team, and our practice is a member of the FDA and the Central Florida District Dental Association. Call us to schedule a new patient exam, transfer your orthodontic treatment, or get seen for an emergency. Bring your insurance information and any recent X-rays, and we'll take it from there.
