Scott Denton, DDS

Dental care in Gainesville’s sprawling western corridors often means navigating strip malls and professional plazas, where clinics blend into the landscape of errands and appointments. Scott Denton, DDS fits this pattern, situated in a suite along Center Drive—a stretch dotted with medical offices, a stone’s throw from the hum of I-75. The area, a mix of student housing and family neighborhoods, pulls in patients from both the university crowd and longtime residents who prefer the convenience of a dentist near the Butler Plaza retail hub. Unlike the specialty practices downtown, this corner of town caters to routine needs: cleanings, fillings, and the occasional emergency that can’t wait for a campus clinic slot.

Finding a dentist who handles everything from pediatric checkups to crowns without referring patients elsewhere can simplify life for busy households. Here, the focus stays on general and family dentistry, sidestepping the niche procedures that require oral surgeons or orthodontists. That means X-rays, extractions, and preventive care under one roof—no shuffling between offices for basic work. The address, 1395 Center Dr D1-11, places it in a cluster of healthcare providers, making it easy to pair a dental visit with a pharmacy run or a quick stop at the nearby grocery stores.

Booking an appointment or asking about insurance options starts with a call to (352) 273-7954, where the front desk fields questions about new-patient paperwork and same-day availability. First-time visitors might want to scope out the location ahead of time, especially if arriving during the afternoon rush when Center Drive gets congested. For the exact spot, pull up directions here—it’s the kind of place you’ll drive past twice before noticing the suite number on the directory sign.
