Convenient Access from Keystone
Short answer: about 12 minutes. Tampa Smile Co. sits roughly 7 miles northeast of Keystone in Land O' Lakes, so a dentist near Keystone does not have to mean a long haul down Gunn Highway into Citrus Park traffic. For a community that prizes quiet lakes and open land, we offer full family care without asking you to live in town.
From the Austin Davis Public Library on Wayne Road, follow Wayne Road to Gunn Highway and head north. Turn east on Van Dyke Road, merge north onto the Suncoast Parkway toll road, then exit east on State Road 54. The 7.2-mile drive ends with a turn onto Bexley Village Drive by The Hub at Bexley, with NorthPointe Village across SR 54.
Our address is 16992 Focus Lp, Land O' Lakes, FL 34638, beside the AdventHealth freestanding ER. Tap here for our Google Maps listing and save it before you leave home. Patients from Northdale and Citrus Park come up through the same corner of the county.
Country Living, Close-to-Home Dental Care for Keystone
Keystone, a census-designated place with no city government, grew out of citrus groves and farms. The W.M. Mobley family from Savannah, Georgia settled here in the mid-1800s, and the area gradually became a rural retreat of lake homes and small ranches. West of Gunn Highway, lots stay large and much of the land is environmentally sensitive.
Residents have worked hard to keep it that way. The Keystone-Odessa Community Plan, adopted in 2001 and reaffirmed in 2011, commits the area to staying rural, with dark skies and quiet roads valued over strip malls. The tradeoff is simple: errands take planning, and a dental office has to be worth the trip.
That rural character also means many households sit on big lots well off the main roads. A run to the dentist often gets bundled with feed, groceries or a library pickup. Our office is less than a mile from The Preserve Marketplace and its Publix GreenWise Market, so a cleaning and the weekly shopping can share one outing.
We try to make each visit count. Ask for back-to-back appointments when several family members are due, so one drive covers everyone. Digital x-rays give us a sharp image with less radiation than film, and the results appear on screen while you are still in the chair.
Keystone Families and the Dental Care That Fits Them
Outdoor life brings its own dental risks. Trail rides at Northwest Equestrian Park off South Mobley Road, a misstep on the 4.3-mile path at Brooker Creek Headwaters Nature Preserve, or a slip on a dock can chip or loosen a tooth. Knowing where to go before it happens saves a frantic search later.
Kids here stay busy, too. Keystone Park & Recreation Center on Gunn Highway runs after-school programs, summer camps, tennis and outdoor pickleball, and a walkway links it to the library next door. Regular checkups fit neatly between those seasons, and we keep an eye on new molars as they come in.
Adults often put off care when the nearest office feels far away. Small cavities left alone tend to grow, and a tooth that needed a simple filling can end up needing a crown. A twice-yearly exam is the easiest way to keep repairs small, quick and affordable.
Weekday hours run 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Thursday and 9 AM to 3 PM on Friday. We also open select Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM, which helps households that commute out of the area all week. Evening hours are not offered, so a Friday or select-Saturday slot is the usual answer for people who work across the bay.
Comfort counts once you arrive. Each patient has a private operatory with a TV and a blanket, and the beverage station keeps coffee and water ready. If you feel anxious, say so at check-in, and the doctor will slow down and explain each step before it happens.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Tampa Smile Co. from Keystone, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 7.2 miles from Keystone, typically a 12-minute drive. Take Gunn Highway north to Van Dyke Road, then the Suncoast Parkway toll road north and State Road 54 east to Bexley Village Drive. Families who want a dentist near Keystone without driving into Tampa find it an easy run. Expect a little longer during rush hour.
How often should Keystone adults with healthy gums get a cleaning?
Most adults with healthy gums do well with a cleaning and exam every six months. People with a history of gum disease often need visits more often, and our Perio Maintenance membership, at $349 a year, is built around that schedule. Your dentist will recommend the right interval after looking at your gums and x-rays.
Where should I go if I crack a tooth while hiking or riding?
Call our office first, and we will guide you on the next step. Rinse gently, save any broken piece and avoid chewing on that side. A cracked tooth often needs a filling or crown, while a loose one may need a quick exam with x-rays to check the root.
What should Keystone residents do about a sudden dental abscess?
Treat it as urgent. Signs include throbbing pain, a pimple-like bump on the gum, facial swelling or a bad taste. Call the office promptly, and go to an emergency room if swelling spreads toward the eye or neck or makes swallowing hard. Rural roads in northwest Hillsborough County can mean a longer drive, so do not wait for it to worsen.
Is your in-house plan worth it for a rural household without dental insurance?
For many families it is. The adult plan costs $249 a year and includes cleanings, exams with x-rays and two emergency exams, with no deductibles or waiting periods. Members save 25% on most other treatment, 15% on implants and 5% on Invisalign, and our membership plan page lists every detail.
