Lakeview Comprehensive Dentistry | Reducing Opioids
At Lakeview Comprehensive Dentistry, “comprehensive” isn’t just part of our name, it’s our core philosophy. Our dentists never take the easiest, most obvious approach to treatment.
We know that every dental health issue has an underlying cause – we seek to discover it, address it and treat it, thereby helping you regain and maintain optimal dental health. We understand that dental health and systemic health are interrelated, and we strive to preserve both by providing top-notch preventive care.
We treat people, not teeth, conditions, or symptoms. We also understand that behind good dental care is a strong relationship built upon mutual trust between dentists and patients. We work hard to achieve that every day.
Along with our comprehensive approach, are our full list of services. We offer complete dental care, not only here in our Tavares, FL office, but also between appointments through extensive, proven hygiene protocols at home.

When your teeth are so severely worn down that they’re causing significant functional and aesthetic issues, our dentists can restore them and get you back to normal with full mouth reconstruction, which typically involves multiple procedures.
Our dentists can quickly replace a full set of missing or deteriorated teeth with permanent dental implants that look and feel just like the real thing. Full arch dental implants will change your life!
Our ongoing goal is to ensure every surface of each tooth is cleaned to prevent decay, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. Brushing only cleans 60 percent of each tooth; the remaining 40 percent requires flossing.
