Why Clermont families choose Neola Dental
Clermont has grown rapidly. Corporate dental chains followed the growth. They often rush patients through and push unnecessary treatments. We built Neola Dental on the opposite philosophy. Dr. Contreras personally evaluates every case. We never push services that don't serve your health. Our private ownership means clinical decisions stay with the dentist - not with a regional manager chasing quarterly numbers.
That's why so many Clermont families make the 10-minute drive to our Minneola office. They tell us the personal attention and the written prices are worth the trip.
