Convenient Access from Golfview
Coffee in the cupholder, you roll south on S MacDill Ave past the long green stretch of the Palma Ceia golf course. About 4 minutes later you could be in our chair. Tampa Smile Co. is a dentist near Golfview with a South Tampa office close enough that a cleaning fits before the school run or right after it.
The drive starts at the club's frontage, 1601 S MacDill Ave, and keeps heading south on MacDill until W Bay to Bay Blvd. Turn right at the Design District, where small shops and cafes line the intersection, and continue west to S Dale Mabry Hwy. A left there brings you to 3404 S Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33629 at the Sevilla St corner, about 1.9 miles in all. Families in nearby Palma Ceia and Hyde Park use the same handful of streets to reach us.
Why Golfview Households Feel at Home Here
Golfview is one of the smaller residential pockets in South Tampa, tucked between W Swann Ave and W Morrison Ave on the north and W San Miguel St on the south. S Clearview Ave marks its western side, and S MacDill Ave and S Lincoln Ave frame the east. Two ZIP Codes, 33609 and 33629, split the streets, and our office shares the second one.
The neighborhood's story is tied to the course. When Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club opened in 1917, this land was still called the Inter-Bay Peninsula. Builders were filling it in as older subdivisions such as Hyde Park and Suburb Beautiful ran out of room.
A century later the setting is quieter and more settled, and people here tend to stay put. That is the kind of patient relationship we enjoy most. We get to know the family over years of checkups instead of seeing a new face every visit.
The neighborhood belongs to the City of Tampa in Hillsborough County, and its edges blur easily into the pockets around it. We see patients from New Suburb Beautiful, Bon Air and Palma Ceia West on the same afternoons, all of them only a few minutes apart. Those boundaries matter more on a map than on a weekday, so a dentist a short drive away fits right into the routine.
We keep the visits relaxed. Private operatories, a TV to watch and a blanket if the air conditioning runs cool make an hour in the chair feel less clinical. Grab a coffee from the beverage station on your way in.
What Golfview Parents and Professionals Should Keep in Mind
Golfview sits between two well-known public schools. Plant High is on S Himes Ave, just south of the San Miguel St edge, and Grady Elementary is on W Morrison Ave in neighboring Palma Ceia West. Kids from both campuses can reach our office on surface streets alone, with no expressway ramps involved.
Teens often start asking about straighter teeth around the time school photos and first jobs roll around. A complimentary Invisalign® consultation gives the family a clear picture before anyone commits. Our iTero digital scanner captures a 3D model of the bite, so there is no tray of impression putty to bite into.
Parents are often ready for their own refresh, too. Professional teeth whitening is a popular first step for adults who want a brighter smile without committing to bigger cosmetic work. We will talk about what kind of results your enamel is likely to give before you start.
New patients can begin with our $79 Exam & X-Ray, which covers a full exam, standard x-rays and a treatment recommendation. The same offer applies if your first visit is for a dental emergency, such as a broken tooth or a sudden ache. It is an easy way to meet the team and get a baseline before deciding on anything else.
Scheduling is straightforward. We see patients Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM, and on select Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM.
Services From Your Dentist Near Golfview
Invisalign®
Clear, removable aligners move teeth gradually and come out for meals and photos. They fit the routine of a busy household better than brackets and wires for many patients.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and digital x-rays catch decay and gum changes early. Steady visits are the habit that keeps most families out of bigger treatment later on.
Cosmetic Dentistry
From bonding a chipped edge to planning porcelain veneers, cosmetic work is about proportion and a natural look. We design changes that suit your face rather than a catalog smile.
Root Canal Therapy
A tooth that throbs at night or lingers after hot coffee may need its inner nerve treated. Root canal therapy can save the natural tooth so you avoid an extraction and a gap.
Tooth Extractions
Wisdom teeth that crowd in during the late teen years sometimes need to come out. Our CBCT 3D imaging shows roots and nearby nerves clearly, which helps us plan a careful removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Tampa Smile Co. from Golfview, and how do I get there?
The drive is about 1.9 miles and usually takes around 4 minutes from the club's MacDill Ave frontage. Head south on S MacDill Ave, west on W Bay to Bay Blvd, then left on S Dale Mabry Hwy. That short hop makes us an easy dentist near Golfview for after-school or lunch-hour visits.
Which of your dentists has extra training in surgical and cosmetic care?
Dr. Adam Gray pursues ongoing training in surgical and cosmetic dentistry. He is a Tampa native who studied biology at Florida State University, earned his DMD at the Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine and practiced for several years in the Greater Boston area. He then came home to care for patients in South Tampa.
What can be done about front teeth that look short or worn down?
Worn, short teeth can usually be rebuilt. The wear often comes from grinding, acid erosion or years of normal chewing. Depending on the cause, bonding, crowns or porcelain veneers can restore length and shape, and a smile makeover combines several of these. The dentist first looks for grinding or reflux so the new work lasts.
When should a teenager have wisdom teeth checked?
Yes, the late teen years are a good time to check them. X-rays show whether wisdom teeth have room to come in or are impacted. Removing problem teeth earlier often means easier healing. CBCT 3D imaging helps the dentist see how close the roots sit to nerves before any extraction is planned for a Golfview teen.
Do I pay anything for an Invisalign consultation?
No, the Invisalign® consultation at our South Tampa office is complimentary. You meet with a dentist, talk through your goals and see whether clear aligners make sense for your bite. If you go ahead, the membership plan or financing through partners like Sunbit can make the monthly cost manageable.
