Serving Summerfield
A cracked molar on a Saturday, a denture that no longer fits, a teenager ready for clear aligners — these are the moments that send Summerfield families looking for a dental office that can actually handle what comes next without sending them somewhere else. Our on-site dental lab means crowns, dentures, and denture repairs can often be completed the same day, and because our dentists handle root canals, implants, gum treatment, extractions, and orthodontics under one roof, most Summerfield patients finish their care with us rather than juggling referrals across multiple offices.
We have practiced general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry in Ocala for more than 30 years, and over that time Summerfield has become a steady part of our patient family. Residents here tell us the same thing often: they want a dental home where the staff recognizes them, where their children can be seen on the same morning they are, and where a problem tooth does not turn into a months-long project. We see patients of all ages, from toddlers getting their first exam to adults rebuilding a full smile.
That long history matters in practical ways. We know the rhythms of this part of Marion County — the seasonal residents who need care scheduled around travel, the retirees managing dentures or implants, the working parents who need early coordination for a whole family's cleanings. We are members of the FDA and the Central Florida District Dental Association, and Dr. Hussein Salifu and Dr. Marco Geris lead a team that includes a dental hygienist on staff for preventive visits.
Preventive care is the foundation for most Summerfield families. That means routine dental exams, cleanings, oral cancer screenings, fluoride treatments, and sealants for children, plus space maintainers when a baby tooth is lost early. For patients with gum concerns, we provide scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, gum disease treatment, and periodontal surgery, including gum grafting, regeneration, crown lengthening, gingivectomy, and cosmetic gum contouring.
When something breaks or hurts, we move into restorative and emergency care. We offer same-day emergency appointments and treat traumatic dental injuries, cracked teeth, and infections. Our endodontic care covers root canal therapy on anterior teeth, premolars, and molars, as well as root canal retreatments when previous work has not held. Surgical needs are handled here too, including simple and surgical extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, sinus lift surgery, and oral biopsy.

Why Summerfield Families Choose Us
Convenience is a big part of it. Patients do not need a referral to see us for root canals, oral surgery, gum treatment, prosthodontics, or jaw pain evaluation — they can simply call. For a Summerfield household managing several schedules, that difference can save weeks of waiting and multiple trips.
The on-site lab is the other reason we hear most. When a crown is milled and placed in the same visit, or a cracked denture is repaired while you wait, you are not driving back and forth or spending days without a tooth. We also take time to explain options plainly, especially with bigger decisions like choosing between a bridge, an implant, or an implant-supported denture, so you understand what each path involves before anything begins.
Insurance, Payment, and Getting Started
We accept all major PPO insurance plans and file claims as a General Practitioner across our specialty services, which often simplifies benefits for patients. We also welcome self-pay and cash patients, and we offer flexible payment plans for treatment that is larger or spread across several appointments. Our front desk team is glad to review your coverage and walk through estimated costs before you commit.
Getting started is straightforward. Call us to schedule a new-patient exam and cleaning, a consultation for implants, aligners, or cosmetic work, or a same-day emergency appointment if you are in pain. Bring your insurance information and a list of medications, and let us know about any dental anxiety — sedation options are available. Summerfield patients are always welcome here, whether this is a first checkup in years or the next step in care you have already begun.
