Veteran Founded
Village Dental – Founded by Veterans
WE WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK
OUR VETERANS AND SERVICE PERSONNEL!
Village Dental was founded by veterans who believe service does not end with the uniform. Built on the same values learned through military service—commitment, discipline, integrity, and care for others—our practice exists to serve patients with honesty and excellence. From the beginning, Village Dental has been proudly veteran owned and operated, led by doctors who served our country and continue that service every day by providing trusted, high-quality dental care to The Villages community.
The members of our armed forces, both past and present, constitute the ultimate example of dedication, service and sacrifice. Village Dental salutes our fellow veterans and staff who have served nobly to protect our freedom and way of life.
