Serving Weirsdale
A cracked molar on a Saturday, a denture that suddenly won't sit right, a teenager asking about clear aligners before senior photos — these are the moments that send Weirsdale families looking for a dental office that can handle more than a cleaning. We've spent over 30 years caring for patients across Marion County and the surrounding communities, and we've built our office so that most of what you need happens under one roof, often in a single visit.
Weirsdale sits in a part of Florida where neighbors tend to know each other, and word travels fast about who treats people well. That reputation matters to us. We see patients of all ages from Weirsdale — grandparents who need a partial denture adjusted, parents squeezing in a checkup between errands, and kids getting their first set of sealants — and we treat each appointment as part of a long relationship rather than a one-time transaction.
Part of our commitment is practical: we keep emergency dental appointments available, because a broken tooth or a sudden toothache doesn't wait for a convenient day. We also accept patients without a referral for root canals, implants, oral surgery, orthodontics, and jaw pain treatment, which spares Weirsdale residents the back-and-forth of being sent from one office to another. Our team includes Dr. Hussein Salifu and Dr. Marco Geris, along with a dental hygienist on staff, and we're members of the FDA and the Central Florida District Dental Association.
Our range of care starts with the basics and goes all the way through full mouth reconstruction. On the preventive side, that means dental exams, cleanings, periodontal maintenance, fluoride treatment, sealants, oral cancer screenings, and custom night guards or sports mouth guards. For restorative needs, we provide fillings, crowns, onlays, bridges, and tooth replacement options including dental implants, implant-supported bridges, and full arch and All-on-4 implants.
We also handle treatments that many general offices refer out. We perform root canal therapy on anterior teeth, premolars, and molars, treat cracked teeth and traumatic dental injuries, and take on root canal retreatments. Our periodontal services include scaling and root planing, gum disease treatment, gum grafting, periodontal regeneration, crown lengthening, gingivectomy, and cosmetic gum contouring. Surgical care covers simple and surgical extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, sinus lift surgery, and oral biopsy. For patients dealing with jaw clicking, locking, limited movement, jaw-related headaches, or chronic facial pain, we offer TMJ/TMD therapy.
Cosmetic and orthodontic options round things out: porcelain and composite veneers, composite bonding, in-office and take-home teeth whitening, smile-design consultations, Invisalign and other clear aligners, retainers for patients treated elsewhere, and transfers for orthodontic patients mid-treatment. We also offer laser dentistry, nitrous oxide sedation, and oral sedation for patients who feel uneasy in the chair.
Why Weirsdale Families Choose Our Office
The single biggest reason is our on-site dental lab. Having a lab in the building changes what's possible in a day, and it's especially meaningful for patients traveling in from Weirsdale who'd rather not make repeat trips.
- Same-day crowns, so a prepared tooth can be finished without a temporary and a second visit
- Dentures fabricated in-house, including complete, partial, snap-in, and implant-supported options
- Denture repairs and replacements handled quickly instead of being mailed out
- Teeth In A Day and full mouth implant cases coordinated between the dentist and the lab
- Adjustments made while you wait, rather than scheduled weeks later
Families also appreciate that we see children and adults in the same practice. A parent can bring in a child for a cleaning and space maintainers and then have their own crown or implant maintenance addressed, which keeps dental care from eating up multiple days off work.
Insurance, Payment, and Financing
We accept all major PPO insurance plans and file claims as a general practitioner across every type of care we provide — including endodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, orofacial pain, and prosthodontics. For many patients that means specialty-level treatment is processed under general dentistry benefits rather than requiring a separate referral and separate paperwork.
We welcome self-pay and cash patients, and we offer flexible payment plans. If you're weighing a larger case like full mouth rehabilitation or implant-supported dentures, tell us up front what your budget looks like. We'd rather map out a realistic sequence of treatment with you than have you postpone care indefinitely.
Getting Started
Call our office to schedule. New patients from Weirsdale typically begin with an exam and cleaning so we can see where things stand, discuss any discomfort, and review your goals — whether that's maintaining a healthy smile, replacing missing teeth, or straightening crowding you've lived with for years.
If you're in pain right now, say so when you call. We hold time for same-day emergency appointments, and we'll get you evaluated rather than asking you to wait out the weekend.

Whether you need a routine cleaning, a same-day crown from our on-site lab, or an emergency appointment, our team in Ocala is ready to help — call us today and we'll walk you through your options, including PPO insurance, self-pay, and flexible payment plans.
