Dentist in Clermont, FL

Neola Dental serves Clermont residents from our office just minutes south on US-27 in Minneola. We are a bilingual, family-owned practice with a 5.0-star rating across 230+ reviews. New patients are always welcome.

Your Clermont Dentist, Close to Home

If you live in Clermont and have been searching for a dental office that combines quality care with a personal touch, Neola Dental is the practice your family has been looking for. Our office is at 825 US-27 #104 in Minneola, a short drive south on US-27 from Clermont. You do not have to travel far to see a dentist who will remember your name and take your concerns seriously.

We opened in September 2024 with a single goal: to give Lake County families the kind of dental experience where everyone feels welcome, understood, and treated with genuine care. Dr. Josaida Contreras, DDS, leads the team. She speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese, which means you can talk through your treatment in the language where you feel most comfortable.

We are a Latino and women-owned practice. That matters to us because it reflects who we are and who we serve. If you have felt overlooked or rushed at large corporate dental chains, this is a different kind of office.

Meet Dr. Josaida Contreras, DDS

Dr. Contreras leads Neola Dental with a clinical approach that puts the patient’s comfort and long-term oral health ahead of everything else. She is fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and she brings that same warmth to every conversation, whether she is explaining a treatment plan to a nervous first-timer or checking in with a patient she has seen for a year.

She founded Neola Dental as a Latino and women-owned practice because she wanted to build the kind of office she wished existed when she was growing up: thorough, honest, unhurried, and welcoming to everyone regardless of background or language. That philosophy shows in the 230+ five-star reviews the practice has earned since opening.

Complete Dental Care for Clermont Families

We handle the full range of dental needs under one roof, so you and your family do not have to travel across Lake County for referrals on routine matters.

General and Preventive Care

Cleanings, exams, digital X-rays, fillings, and periodontal maintenance form the foundation of every healthy smile. At each visit we walk you through what we find, explain your options clearly, and let you make informed decisions without pressure. We catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

Cosmetic Dentistry

If you want a brighter or more even smile, we offer veneers, smile makeovers, and teeth whitening with Zoom and Opalescence systems. Cosmetic consultations are conversational and pressure-free. We tell you what is possible, what it costs, and what to realistically expect, then let you decide.

Same-Day Crowns

Through CEREC technology, we design and mill permanent crowns right in our office. You come in for a single appointment, and you leave with a finished restoration. No temporary crown, no second visit, no waiting a week for an outside lab. This is one of the most appreciated conveniences we offer, particularly for patients coming from Clermont who want to minimize trips.

Invisalign

Clear aligner treatment for teens and adults who want straighter teeth without metal brackets. As a certified Invisalign provider, we create a custom treatment plan based on your goals and schedule. Most patients from Clermont and Lake County complete treatment in 6 to 18 months, though timelines vary by case.

Dental Implants

Implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they function and feel like natural teeth. Our implant consultations walk you through every stage of the process, from candidacy to placement to final restoration, with transparent pricing so you can plan confidently.

Root Canal Therapy

Modern root canal treatment is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests. When a tooth has deep decay or infection, root canal therapy saves the tooth and eliminates the pain. Most patients are surprised by how straightforward the procedure is with current techniques and anesthesia.

Oral Surgery and Extractions

Simple extractions, wisdom tooth removal, and surgical extractions are performed in-office. We use appropriate anesthesia and review aftercare instructions in detail before you leave so recovery at home is as smooth as possible.

TMJ Treatment

Jaw pain, morning headaches, grinding, and clicking or locking joints are common signs of TMJ dysfunction. We evaluate your bite and jaw mechanics and recommend conservative solutions first, including custom splints and bite adjustments, before considering anything more involved.

Emergency Dental Care

Toothaches, chipped or broken teeth, lost fillings, knocked-out teeth, and dental injuries need prompt attention. We reserve same-day slots in our schedule for patients dealing with dental emergencies. If you are in pain, call (352) 717-2177 and let us know, and we will get you in as soon as possible.

Technology and Comfort

We invest in the tools that make visits faster, safer, and more comfortable.

CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Our CEREC system lets us design, mill, and place a permanent crown in a single appointment. No impressions sent to a lab, no waiting, no temporary. Same-day crowns are one of the most practical things we offer for working adults with busy schedules.

Digital X-Rays and Imaging

Digital dental imaging produces high-resolution images with significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. We can show you exactly what we are seeing on-screen during your exam, which makes it easier to understand what a treatment involves and why it matters.

Comfortable Dentistry for Anxious Patients

Dental anxiety is real, and we take it seriously. If the thought of sitting in a dental chair makes you tense, talk to us. Our comfortable dentistry options are designed to make the experience manageable for patients who have avoided care out of fear. We work at your pace, explain everything before we do it, and never push you to do more than you are ready for in a single visit.

Insurance and Payment Options

We accept most major dental insurance plans. Before your appointment, our front desk team verifies your benefits so you arrive knowing what your coverage includes and what to expect at checkout. There are no billing surprises.

For patients without insurance, we offer transparent, itemized pricing and flexible payment options so that cost is not a barrier to necessary care. We want to find a path that works for your situation. See our full payment options page for details, or call us and we will walk you through it before you even schedule.

Your First Visit: What to Expect

We know that visiting a new dental office can feel uncertain, especially if it has been a while since your last appointment or if you have had a bad experience somewhere else. Here is exactly what a first visit to Neola Dental looks like for patients coming from Clermont.

You arrive, fill out a brief health history form, and meet the team. There is no waiting-room pressure. Your appointment begins with a comprehensive exam: Dr. Contreras reviews your X-rays, examines your teeth and gums, checks for any issues that need attention, and talks through what she finds in plain language. If treatment is recommended, you receive a clear written plan with options and costs before anything is scheduled.

We do not push procedures you do not need. We do not upsell cosmetic work during a routine visit unless you ask. The goal of the first appointment is for you to leave feeling informed and comfortable, not overwhelmed.
