Unfortunately, they messed up my implant work when they couldn't keep my implant surgeon on staff and it made a big problem for me.

I scheduled my first visit with this dental practice for what was supposed to be a routine…read morecleaning. Instead, the experience immediately felt like a setup to upsell unnecessary procedures. When I was taken into the room, the staff member told me they would start with **18 X-rays plus a panoramic X-ray**, then the **dentist would examine me**, and after that the **hygienist would examine me again** to determine whether I needed a regular cleaning or a *"deep pocket cleaning."* Only after all of that would they decide when I could actually get a cleaning. I've been going to the dentist regularly for years and have **never once been told I needed a deep pocket cleaning**, nor have I ever had to schedule a basic cleaning **3 weeks to a month out** after showing up for a cleaning appointment. Normally, my dental visits are straightforward and fully covered by my insurance: **two visits per year -- one cleaning and one cleaning with X-rays and a dentist exam.** This process felt completely unnecessary and designed to bill for as many procedures as possible before even performing the service I scheduled. If you are expecting a simple cleaning like most dental offices provide, be prepared for a very different experience here. In my opinion, this feels like a **bait-and-switch and an insurance billing scam**, and I will not be returning.

I have always had good experiences here. From routine cleaning to crowns and bridges they have done…read morea good job. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Best team EVER. Don't waste your time with other dentists like I did. The office has REAL…read moresedation through Nitrous for any procedure, and if you're like me, that's a requirement. 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.

I am 68 years old and have had a lot of dental work over the years. Some of my experiences were…read moregood and some not so good but I always took care of my dental health. 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!!

Been to a lot of dentists in 70 years and this is the best dentist by far I could not find anything…read moreto complain about and I am hard to please

I made two appointments one for myself & the other for my partner. - both new patients under the…read moresame insurance company with the same coverage. Spoke with Jennifer regarding both my partner and i's insurance on more then one occasion. my partner had gotten x-rays from a previous dentist in July 2024, we were told by Jennifer he just needed to bring in his previous x-rays or he would be charged for new ones taken by this dentist (on special for $99) but NO OTHER CHARGES, the ultimate choice was his; either bring the x-rays or pay for new ones. My appointment went fine, got my x-rays, checked out and all that good stuff came back for a consultation for Invisalign, not so much: insurance stopped coverage on invisalign if you are over 19, the suggestion that was made to me besides a payment plan which is hard to get approved for - doctor suggested veneers as a ''cheaper'' alternative. i also waited over an hour in the lobby for a 10 minute consultation. i'm not sure how $5,000-$6,000 for vaneers is cheaper then the $5,400 for invisalign, but ok! He comes in today (03/13/2026) and it was a MASSIVE clusterfuck. The front desk was unprofessional for starters. Then he finds out that he is being charged $100 regardless of him having the x-rays right in his hand. No one seemed to know what was going on. Eventually, i step in over the phone explaining my conversations with Jennifer (he had already explained this to them.) and they tell me that his x-rays are too old and they need to take new ones and because it was a paper copy they could not see the apex of his teeth. We were never informed that there were ''requirements'' to him bringing in his x-rays. Jennifer told us that insurance covers x-rays are covered every five years and we have someone else saying every 3. Not sure of her name, but she stated they would not charge him and do the x-rays anyways (obviously due to both of us being frustrated and telling them what we were told and simply just needing to be able to create a care plan for him). He goes into the back and waits 15 minutes for a doctor to just simply come look at him and tell him a few things with no understandable explanation as to why these things need to be done. he was supposed to get a cleaning, did not happen. he was supposed to get x-rays, did not happen. but he did get a referral to get his teeth pulled! () when he confronted the issue of being told he was going to get x-rays and a cleaning he was told the people to do the cleanings were not there and that the referral he got would do the x-rays instead. Needless to say, left an extremely sour taste in both of our mouths and we will not coming back. He was also told by one of the receptionist that he ''could pay or....'' indicating he needed to leave. This entire process took over an hour of his day for him to get none of what he needed. We also filled out new patient paperwork the night before from what they have linked on their website and when he arrived they said they had none of his information and had him refill out the forms.
