Convenient Access from Town 'n' Country
Can a grandparent with an aging partial and a preschooler getting a first checkup share the same dental office? In many Town 'n' Country households, that is the practical question, and the answer at Tampa Smile Co. is yes. We are a dentist near Town 'n' Country for every generation, located on South Dale Mabry Highway in South Tampa, roughly 17 minutes from the Town 'N Country Regional Public Library.
From the library on Paula Drive, follow Ambassador Drive out to West Hillsborough Avenue and then Eisenhower Boulevard. Pick up the Veterans Expressway, a toll road, and head south past Tampa International Airport to Memorial Highway. Memorial flows into West Kennedy Boulevard heading east, and South Dale Mabry Highway then carries you south to our corner. The whole drive covers about 9.3 miles, and weekday rush hour can lengthen it.
Our office sits at 3404 S Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33629, on the corner of Sevilla Street in the Palma Ceia area. View the office on Google Maps to save the destination for the whole family. If relatives live closer in, our pages for Egypt Lake-Leto and Westshore describe those shorter trips.
From Head Start to Retirement: Town 'n' Country Households
Town 'n' Country began in 1958, when the LaMonte-Shimberg Corporation bought a dairy farm near Hillsborough Avenue and Memorial Highway. Over the next two decades, single-family homes and townhouses filled the land, making it one of the area's first suburban communities. Today it is an unincorporated census-designated place in Hillsborough County, even though mailing addresses read Tampa. It includes Bay Crest Park, Countryway, Rocky Creek and Sweetwater Creek.
The Town 'N Country Commons captures how families here live. The regional library shares the campus with a Head Start center and a Senior Center, with Shimberg Gardens right next door. One campus serves toddlers and retirees side by side, and that same mix shapes what many households need from a dentist.
The trip itself is straightforward for a family schedule. Once you are on the Veterans Expressway, there are only a handful of road changes before Dale Mabry, and nearly all of them happen on major highways and boulevards. That makes it easy to pair a dental visit with other errands on the south side.
Our office is set up for that range. Children 13 and younger can join the Child Wellness membership for $160 a year, while older adults can explore implants, dentures and partials. Seeing one practice keeps records, schedules and insurance details in one place. It also means the person driving Grandma to her appointment can book a cleaning for themselves the same morning.
What Town 'n' Country Families Should Know About Changing Dental Needs
Dental needs shift with age, and each stage brings its own priorities. Young children need gentle introductions and steady preventive care. Working adults often juggle worn fillings, cracked teeth or a missing molar they have meant to fix. Older adults may wear dentures that no longer fit as well as they once did.
Loose or uncomfortable dentures are common as the jaw changes shape over time. Our dentures and partials are fitted to your mouth as it is now. For more stability, implant-supported dentures anchor to the jawbone and help prevent slipping while you eat or speak.
That is a big decision, so we start with a complimentary dental implant consultation. Our CBCT 3D imaging shows the bone and nearby structures in detail, which helps the doctor plan placement. You leave with a clear picture of your options, the steps involved and the likely costs before committing to anything.
Families who care for an aging parent often notice dental changes first. A parent may start avoiding certain foods, cut meat into tiny pieces or stop smiling in photos. Those small habits can signal a loose denture, a broken tooth or sore gums. Bringing those observations to the appointment helps the doctor understand what daily life actually looks like.
For grandchildren and grandparents alike, comfort matters. Private operatories, TVs, blankets and a coffee and water station help long appointments feel less clinical. We also open on select Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM, which helps when adult children need to drive older parents.
How a Dentist Near Town 'n' Country Serves Each Age
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a missing tooth root and supports a natural-looking crown. Implants can also anchor a full denture for a firmer fit. Members of our wellness plans receive 15% off implant treatment.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and digital x-rays keep every generation on track. For kids, these visits build comfort with the dental chair. For adults, they catch decay and gum changes early.
Restorative Dentistry
Crowns, bridges and fillings rebuild teeth damaged by decay or wear. Town 'n' Country patients with decades-old dental work can have it checked and updated where needed. We explain what is urgent and what can wait.
Tooth Extractions
A tooth that is badly broken or infected sometimes needs to come out. We plan the extraction alongside replacement options, such as an implant or a partial. Clear aftercare instructions help healing go smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Tampa Smile Co. from Town 'n' Country, and how do I get there?
We are about 9.3 miles from the Town 'N Country Regional Public Library, a drive of roughly 17 minutes. The route follows Hillsborough Avenue and Eisenhower Boulevard to the Veterans Expressway, then Memorial Highway, Kennedy Boulevard and South Dale Mabry Highway. Households wanting a dentist near Town 'n' Country find the expressway the most direct option.
Can I have dental work if I take a blood thinner?
Usually, yes. Most cleanings, fillings and many extractions can be done without stopping a blood thinner, and you should never stop one on your own. Bring a current medication list and mention it before treatment, so the dentist can plan around it and coordinate with your physician if needed.
Can I bring an older parent in for a denture checkup?
Yes, an adult child or caregiver can book the visit and drive the patient in. We evaluate how the denture fits, check the gums for sore spots and discuss whether a new denture or an implant-supported option makes sense. Coordinating your own cleaning for the same morning saves a second trip down the expressway.
Does the Veterans Expressway route to your office charge a toll?
Yes, the Veterans Expressway is a toll road. It carries you south from Eisenhower Boulevard past the airport to Memorial Highway. From there, Kennedy Boulevard and South Dale Mabry Highway complete the trip without additional tolls, ending at our office on the corner of Sevilla Street.
Can Town 'n' Country families pay for dental treatment over time?
Yes, through financing partners such as Proceed Finance, LendingClub and HFD, which break larger treatment into monthly payments. Families without insurance can also join the membership plan, from $160 a year for a child 13 or younger to $249 for an adult, with discounts on treatment beyond the included care.
