About

Truax Downtown Dental is a family-owned dental practice in Fort Myers, Florida, founded by third-generation dentist Dr. Billy Truax. The clinic provides a comprehensive range of dental services, from general and cosmetic dentistry to advanced restorative and emergency care. The practice is known for its patient-centered philosophy, aiming to provide a comfortable, judgment-free experience, particularly for those with dental anxiety.
Truax Downtown Dental is a dental clinic located in Fort Myers, Florida, at 2051 McGregor Blvd. The practice is led by Dr. Billy Truax, a third-generation dentist who grew up in Fort Myers and returned after graduating from the University of Florida College of Dentistry. Dr. Truax's father, also a dentist, previously practiced in the same office, cementing the family legacy in the local dental community. The clinic prides itself on offering a comprehensive range of dental services for the entire family. Its services include general dentistry (cleanings, fillings, root canals), cosmetic dentistry (veneers, teeth whitening, smile makeovers), restorative procedures (crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants), and various other treatments like TMJ solutions, teeth grinding therapy, and oral cancer screenings. The practice also handles dental emergencies and offers sedation options, such as laughing gas, to ensure patient comfort. A core philosophy of Truax Downtown Dental is a patient-centered, "down-home" approach that contrasts with corporate dental offices. They emphasize educating patients on their options rather than lecturing them, allowing individuals to make the final decision about their care and budget. They even have the saying "We Cater To Cowards" to reassure patients with dental anxiety. Dr. Truax has a strong commitment to continuing education and uses both modern and time-tested procedures to provide high-quality care. The practice accepts PPO insurance and offers appointments on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

I walked in the door and was immediately greeted by a smiling, very happy receptionist. I had already booked my appointment ahead of time, so I checked in and sat down to wait. It wasn't even a few minutes, and Denise called me into the back for my X-rays and cleaning. She was super nice and polite, and explained everything she was doing. The cleaning went really good and quick. She was very efficient and proficient, especially after 5 years of not seeing a dentist (Covid made things difficult and my previous dentist passed away).

I should nickname her Delicate Denise for how easy she was with my cleaning. Then I had one cavity that Dr. Billy (he's famous btw) had to work on. He was extremely polite and explained everything he and the assistant had to do. He numbed me up, and Zip Zang Boom! I was done in less than a quick painless 10 minutes. I give this dental office a 11 out of 10!!! I came down on vacation and was referred here from some family.

Dr. Billy was sooooo nice, it was like being in the dentist office with family. I will make this my regular Dentist every time I come down to visit my family. Worth the trip from Chicago for sure!!!! Thank you Dr. Truax and friends!! Tell them Bill from Chicago referred you if you go in!!!

I have gone to Dr. Billy and his father before him for 30+ years. I actually come down from Georgia now just to go to the dental office. The staff is fantastic. The dentist and now the new dentist are great. Also, I can’t go anywhere else anymore they spoiled me
