Serving The Villages
If you live in The Villages and you've been putting off dental care because you're not sure who to trust — or because a cracked tooth, a loose denture, or a sore jaw finally forced the issue — we'd like to make the next step simple. For more than 30 years we've cared for families across Marion County and the surrounding communities, and residents of The Villages have become a steady part of our day. Many arrive after a move from out of state, carrying treatment plans from a previous dentist and hoping to find one practice that can handle nearly everything in one place.
We don't treat patients from The Villages as occasional visitors. A good portion of our schedule is built around people who want appointments that run on time, explanations that make sense, and a team that remembers their name and their history. When you call, we work to find a time that fits your week rather than asking you to rearrange it.
That commitment shows up most clearly in our on-site dental lab. Instead of sending impressions out and asking you to return weeks later, we can fabricate crowns, dentures, and denture repairs right here. For someone driving in from The Villages, that difference is real: a chipped front tooth or a cracked denture may be handled without multiple round trips. We also keep room in the schedule for emergency dental appointments, including same-day care for traumatic injuries and sudden tooth pain.
Our practice is built around general dentistry for all ages, from a child's first exam through complex adult restorative work. Preventive care — cleanings with our hygienist, exams, oral cancer screenings, fluoride treatment, sealants, and space maintainers for children — forms the foundation. Restorative care covers fillings, crowns, onlays, bridges, and full mouth reconstruction.
Beyond that, we offer the kinds of care many people assume require a referral elsewhere. We perform root canal therapy on front teeth, premolars, and molars, along with retreatments and care for cracked teeth. We handle simple and surgical extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, and sinus lift surgery. On the gum side, we provide scaling and root planing, gum disease treatment, periodontal surgery and maintenance, gum grafting, crown lengthening, gingivectomy, and cosmetic gum contouring. We place dental implants and provide implant maintenance, implant-supported bridges, implant-supported and snap-in dentures, All-on-4 and full arch implants, and Teeth In A Day.
For adults and teens who want straighter teeth, we offer Invisalign and other clear aligners, accept orthodontic transfer patients, and make retainers for people whose treatment was completed elsewhere. For jaw pain, clicking, locking, limited movement, jaw-related headaches, and chronic facial pain, we provide TMJ/TMD therapy and night guards. Cosmetic options include porcelain and composite veneers, bonding, in-office and take-home whitening, and smile-design consultations.
Why Families Here Choose Us
Convenience matters, but so does continuity. When one team handles your cleanings, your root canal, your implant, and your denture adjustments, nothing gets lost between offices. Dr. Hussein Salifu and Dr. Marco Geris see patients of every age, and we accept patients without a referral for endodontic, oral surgery, periodontal, prosthodontic, and orofacial pain care.
Here's what patients from The Villages tell us they appreciate most:
- Same-day crowns, dentures, and denture repairs made in our own lab
- Emergency and same-day appointments when pain or injury can't wait
- Comfort options including nitrous oxide and oral sedation
- One practice for children, parents, and grandparents
- Denture repair or replacement, plus conventional complete and partial dentures
We're members of the FDA and the Central Florida District Dental Association, and we also serve Ocala, Lady Lake, Oxford, Summerfield, Belleview, Weirsdale, and other nearby communities.
Insurance, Payment, and Planning Ahead
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, and our team files claims as a General Practitioner across the full range of care we provide — including endodontic, surgical, orthodontic, periodontal, prosthodontic, and orofacial pain treatment. That often simplifies the paperwork for patients who would otherwise be coordinating benefits between several offices.
We also welcome self-pay and cash patients, and we offer flexible payment plans. If you're considering something larger — implants, a full arch, or a full mouth rehabilitation — we'll walk through the sequence of treatment and the financial side before anything begins, so there are no surprises midway through.
Getting Started
Call our office to schedule an exam, a cleaning, or a consultation. Tell us what's prompting the visit — a specific tooth, a denture that no longer fits, an aligner case you'd like to transfer, or simply a checkup that's overdue.
If you're in pain today, say so when you call and we'll look for the soonest available opening. For planned treatment, bring any records, X-rays, or treatment plans from a previous dentist, along with your insurance information. We'll examine, discuss your options in plain language, and let you decide what makes sense.

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.
