Dr. Jay Skipper is our amazing dentist at Smiles on Florida. A Florida native, Dr. Skipper graduated from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 2006. His motto is you will grow through what you go through. Dr. Skipper is a single father to two warrior princesses. Leilani Pearl, is his 7 year old. She was diagnosed with Autism when she was 3. Everyday she relentlessly pursues overcoming this obstacle. Its an obstacle that does not define her. Luna Skye is his 4 year old. She had to wear a couple of corrective helmets to reshape her head when she was younger. She also has a speech delay and needs minor corrective eye surgery. They are the basis for his motto. He calls them his heart, his legacy, and his heroes. Dr. Skipper treats his patients with the same caring and compassion that he has for his beautiful girls. He looks forward to helping everyone overcome whatever obstacles are holding them up from healthy teeth and gums.
The best thing to come out of 2020 was the addition of Dr. Ladzinski to our team. Dr. Ladzinski first developed a love of dentistry as a child. His mom was a dental assistant, so he spent a lot of time at the office. This is when he fell in love with the profession. Dr. Ladzinski graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry and became the first person from his family to get a higher education! Dr. Ladzinski enjoys all aspects of dentistry. He recieved extensive training from one of the best dental schools in the country andcontinues to pursue his education in all phases of general and implant dentistry. In addition, Dr. Ladzinski has developed a personal interest in sleep medicine and is on track to receive his diplomat degree in the field. During his free time, Dr. Ladzinski enjoys volunteering at his church. In addition, he is a bit of a daredevil and enjoys motorcross, street motorcycles, and road cycling. Dr. Ladzinski is an amazing addition to our practice. Growing up around thedental field gave him knowledge that most people don't develop for years. He prides himself on not only creating beautiful smiles, but in developing lasting relationships with his patients by really listening to their concerns.

Had a great experience here! Kat, Dr. Sam, and the rest of the staff are amazing! Felt very safe and welcomed here! Everyone here is excellent and will do whatever it takes to make sure you feel comfortable and at ease here, and this comes from someone who is TERRIFIED of dentist offices. I definitely recommend going here!

From the first call I was made to feel very comfortable and that continued when I arrived for my 1st appointment. The receptionist was very helpful and had a big smile when I walked in. Cat was great she kept me talking helped to make my appointment a relaxed experience ( she did my xrays) Dr. Sam did my exam he listened to my issue and came up with a plan along with kristy(hope I got her name right ) From my call to appointment this office was 100% helpful with amazing smiles along the way

Dr. Sam & all his associates made going to the dentist a pleasant experience. Everyone is so nice. From the front office to the office manager & dental assistant. I am very sensitive in my gums, so they took special care & really listened to my concerns. This should be called Gentle Dental. My husband & I are in good hands!

I'm only giving them 3 stars bc of the friendliness however I'm very confused as to why this place has good ratings. Maybe everyone who goes there has a credit score of 750 or higher and can get financed or maybe they all have thousands of dollars in cash and can write a check. First thing, I waited for over 25 mins to be seen by a doctor. Second thing I ended up being there for 2 hrs and I paid 60 dollars for exams and they couldn't even do anything to help me. I thought they would be able to do payment plans and work with me but they wanted 700 a month bc I couldn't finance and on top of that I have a hard inquiry on my credit as well as my husband's credit so now we have to be even more careful. I have yet to see one dentistry that is not all about money and this one definitely does not prove any different. To make it more real, a lady, I forget her name, goes around asking ppl to like their Facebook page but if my experience wasn't the best why would I like your page. Don't put the cart before the horse. If it's care or health you're looking for, keep looking.

Best dentist I ever had. Dr. Sam pulled 2 bad molars out and I left the office whistling and skipping. Not a house of horrors like all other dentists I've been to before. The guy knows what he is doing. The whole team made the experience as pleasant and efficient as can be.

Everyone at premier dentistry was professional and courteous and provided me with exceptional service. I would definitely recommend this dental practice to anyone seeking dental work. I just moved here from Pennsylvania and they even submitted all claims and paperwork necessary because they were out of network with my insurance provider. Thankyou premier dentistry 5 stars all the way

The ladies were very helpful and Dr. SAM was friendly and thorough. The only regret I have is I should have gotten a second opinion on the cost. That was my fault. I came because your web site on Facebook indicated your office use laughing gas, but found out later that it does not. That needs to be corrected. Other than that for the cost I am expecting fantastic service which I feel like I will receive with Dr. SAM and the staff. If it was On a scale of 0 to 10, I will give a 9 at this time. Happy Holidays.

I have not been to the office since I moved here not long ago,but if I will be treated with as much kindness and patients as I was treated about my insurance questions, and taking down the lenghthy email address, which of course I got wrong the first time I will be as happy as the previous posters. Both young man and lady who answered the phone, (sorry I did catch their names,)were super nice. See you

My first time here and they were amazing. They went the extra mile for me. They did everything possible to make sure that I wouldn't have to wait to start my treatment plan. They are wonderful and pleasant young ladies. I have been to other Dentists but Premier Dentistry located in The Villages are #1 in my book. If I had only known about them before I gave my money to the ones who didn't do a good job and had a really lousy attitude. I would give more stars if I could . The sunny face is for the staff. They're phenomenal in my opinion. Thanks again everyone.

Went in to have a crown cemented back in. Saw a very nice young female dentist. She was thorough, explained the reasons crowns may come loose but said that my crown was a good fit and she saw no reason not to cement it back in. Cost was very reasonable and they will submit it to my insurance. Staff was nice enough. Waiting room rather small but I would go back. It has taken me 9 months to get them to reimburse me what my insurance paid them after I had already paid them on the day of service. I would never go back to this dentist, their billing department is terrible to deal with. I've even had them hang up on me.
