Convenient Access from Carrollwood
Carrollwood began in 1959 as a cluster of homes around Lake Carroll, and it has grown into one of the established suburbs north of Tampa. For anyone comparing options for a dentist near Carrollwood, Tampa Smile Co. in Land O' Lakes is about 17 minutes away by expressway. Our doctors focus on keeping natural teeth healthy and replacing the ones that cannot be saved.
From the Carrollwood Cultural Center on Lowell Road, follow South Village Drive and West Village Drive to Hutchison Road. Hutchison Road leads to the Veterans Expressway, a toll road you take north until it continues as the Suncoast Parkway, also tolled. Leave at SR 54, head east, and turn onto Bexley Village Drive. You will find us at 16992 Focus Lp, Land O' Lakes, FL 34638, beside The Hub at Bexley.
The 10.3-mile drive usually takes around 17 minutes, though rush hour on the expressway can add a few. Save the trip by opening our listing in Google Maps. Families in nearby Northdale and Citrus Park come to us along much of the same toll corridor.
An Office That Respects Carrollwood's Established Character
Developer Matt Jetton's Sun State Homes built the first neighborhoods here, and the area grew quickly through the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The country club opened in 1972 and remains a community landmark. Carrollwood Village stretches from Gunn Highway to Dale Mabry Highway, with neighborhoods ranging from apartment complexes to single-family streets.
Weekends often center on Carrollwood Village Park on West Village Drive. The county park offers trails, dog parks, a skate park and a splash pad, all built on a former wastewater treatment site. Also in the Village, the Cultural Center runs classes and performances through a partnership with Hillsborough County.
A community this settled tends to value continuity, and so do we. You will see the same two doctors at every visit, in a private operatory with a TV and a blanket within reach. Hours run Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM, plus select Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM.
New patients who simply want a baseline can book a $39 exam and x-ray, which includes a full exam, standard x-rays and treatment recommendations. Uninsured adults without gum disease may prefer the $99 cleaning, exam and x-ray. Either one gives you a clear starting point before any larger plan.
Long-Term Dental Health in a Mature Suburb
Neighborhoods that took shape decades ago are home to many adults who have kept the same smile for a long time. Over the years, that smile collects fillings, crowns and a root canal or two. Each restoration has a working life, and we see plenty of patients from older suburbs who are ready to replace dental work done long ago.
Missing teeth are the bigger concern. When a back tooth goes, the teeth around it can tip into the space, and the bite slowly changes. Implants, bridges and dentures and partials each restore that space differently, and the right choice depends on bone health, budget and how you want to care for it day to day.
Our dental technology helps us plan that work carefully. CBCT 3D imaging shows the height and width of the jawbone before an implant, and digital x-rays track small changes from one visit to the next with less radiation than film. Planning from clear images means fewer surprises once treatment starts.
Dentures deserve special mention. Many people wear a lower denture that slides and rubs, especially as the jaw changes shape over time. Two or more implants can anchor that denture so it stays in place while you eat and speak. A complimentary dental implant consultation covers implant-supported dentures as well as single teeth.
Gum health shifts with age as well. Receding gums expose root surfaces that decay more easily than enamel, and some medications leave the mouth dry. Regular cleanings, careful home care and a closer look at problem spots keep those changes from costing you teeth.
Restorative and Cosmetic Care from Your Dentist Near Carrollwood
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a lost tooth with a post that fuses to the jaw, topped with a natural-looking crown. For longtime residents with a gap or two, it is the closest thing to getting the original tooth back.
Restorative Dentistry
Crowns, bridges and tooth-colored fillings rebuild teeth that have worn, cracked or decayed. We replace aging dental work in stages so the cost stays manageable.
Root Canal Therapy
A tooth with a deep infection can often be saved with a root canal and a crown. Keeping your own tooth is often the simpler path.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, veneers and bonding can refresh teeth that have yellowed or chipped over the decades. Cosmetic upgrades pair well with restorative work when you are already updating older crowns.
These four cards reflect what established households ask about most, yet routine cleanings, extractions and emergency visits fill our schedule too. Whatever brings you in, the first step is a careful exam and an honest conversation about priorities, cost and timing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Tampa Smile Co. from Carrollwood, and how do I get there?
We are about 10.3 miles from the Cultural Center on Lowell Road, roughly a 17-minute drive. Take the Village Drives to Hutchison Road, ride the tolled Veterans Expressway and Suncoast Parkway north, then go east on SR 54 to Bexley Village Drive. Residents who want a dentist near Carrollwood without crossing Tampa often prefer this northbound trip.
Which is better for one missing tooth, an implant or a bridge?
An implant is often the better long-term choice, because it replaces the root and leaves the neighboring teeth untouched. A bridge anchors to the teeth on each side and can be finished sooner. A removable partial is the most budget-friendly option. A complimentary implant consultation lets you compare all three for your own mouth.
Is sensitivity to cold a sign I need a filling?
Not always. Brief sensitivity to cold often comes from worn enamel or receding gums that expose the root, and a sensitivity toothpaste may help. Pain that lingers after the cold is gone, or that wakes you at night, can point to decay or a nerve problem and should be examined promptly.
Can implants keep a loose lower denture from slipping?
Yes, implant-supported dentures snap onto posts placed in the jaw, which keeps them steady while you eat and talk. Many patients find the difference most noticeable with lower dentures. We start with a complimentary implant consultation and CBCT 3D imaging to check bone levels and see how many implants your case would need.
What causes bad breath that brushing does not fix?
Ongoing bad breath usually comes from bacteria on the tongue, gum disease, dry mouth or a hidden cavity. Brushing the tongue and flossing daily help, but lasting odor deserves an exam. A professional cleaning removes hardened tartar that home care cannot, and the dentist can check for gum pockets or decay feeding the problem.
