After getting run around with another ocala dentist about insurance – you you know when you tell the dentist the insurance company you have and they still take the appointment and then tell you while you’re on site that they’re out of network…paddock saw me same day and had me all fixed up the next day. Thank you for showing genuine care and outstanding service Paddock.

Best dentist in the area. Literally no pain or discomfort during and after a deep cleaning. Additionally, I did have 3 teeth pulled as well with minimal pain, discomfort or complications after removal. Everyone in the office is very nice and accommodating appointments are a breeze. My girlfriend is switching to Paddock dental for her regular cleanings.Update: I recently had a front tooth crack on me and it had it replaced. Everyone did a great job I didn’t feel any pain and the replacement tooth was fantastic thanks again Paddock dental!

I have received excellent care from the team at Lux Dental and Spa. My teeth and gums are very important to me, I trust Dr Alena Kvashenka to guide me in the right direction to maintain my smile. I have referred family, friends, co-workers and neighbors to Lux Dental and Spa and I always hear great feedback. The office is pristine, the equipment is the most modern available, and the whole team is attentive and caring. I can’t imagine going to any other dentist.

I’ve been to many dentists over my 60 years as my family moved around in the military, but truly this is the best care I have ever received. Dr Alena is such a professional- in a short amount of time I have new front teeth, which I never really imagined possible. The team is so skilled, friendly and caring- Jess, Jackie, Zamira, Tatiana- I wholeheartedly recommend this first-class dental care to anyone. You will be pleasantly surprised at the focused time and attention they give you to plan and meet your needs and even, like me and my two new (!) teeth, to meet your dreams! Thank you so much to the whole team!
