Convenient Access from Connerton
With an elementary schooler, a toddler and a full calendar, Connerton parents want one thing from a dental office: a single place that handles everybody without a lot of back-and-forth. Tampa Smile Co. is that kind of practice, based in Land O' Lakes and roughly 27 minutes south of Connerton Elementary by car. Families searching for a dentist near Connerton get two doctors, one front desk and records for the whole household in the same chart room.
Leave Connerton Elementary on Flourish Drive, take Connerton Boulevard out to the Ehren Cutoff (CR 583) and follow it south to Land O' Lakes Boulevard (US 41). Keep heading south on US 41 until you reach SR 54, then turn west. Stay on SR 54 until Bexley Village Drive, which leads into The Hub at Bexley. The full drive is about 14.2 miles, and the US 41 and SR 54 stretches slow down at rush hour.
The office address is 16992 Focus Lp, Land O' Lakes, FL 34638, close to the Suncoast Parkway and next door to AdventHealth Central Pasco Emergency Care. Tap here to see the office on Google Maps. If you have friends in Angeline or Lake Padgett, they visit us too.
One Office for Every Age in a Connerton Household
This is a young community. The community grew out of a former working cattle ranch, sold its first homes in 2005 and has filled with many young families since. Pine View Middle and Land O' Lakes High are among the nearby public schools, so a single household can easily have kids in three different buildings.
That spread of ages is exactly what a family practice is built for. A preschooler's first cleaning, a fourth grader's cavity check and a parent's crown can all live in one plan. Our team sees each person's history side by side, which makes it easier to plan visits together and keep nobody overdue.
Office hours run 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 3 PM on Friday and 9 AM to 2 PM on select Saturdays. We close on Sundays. Select Saturday mornings are a good fit for families whose weekdays are packed with school pickups and practices.
New patients have two easy ways to begin. Without insurance, the $99 cleaning, exam and x-ray offer applies as long as there is no periodontal (gum) disease. If you mainly want an evaluation, perhaps for a tooth that has been bothering you since the move, the $39 exam and x-ray includes a full exam, standard x-rays and treatment recommendations. Either way, you leave knowing what each person needs next.
Comfort matters with small children, so every treatment room is a private operatory rather than an open bay. Kids can watch a show on the room's TV, and anyone who runs cold can ask for a blanket. A coffee and water station waits in the lobby for parents and siblings.
The practice also gives back close to home through a partnership with Feeding Tampa Bay. Many parents like knowing their family's dental office supports neighbors across the region.
Kids' Teeth, Busy Parents: What Connerton Families Should Know
Children's teeth change fast between kindergarten and middle school. Baby teeth loosen, adult teeth push through and spacing shifts as the jaw grows. Regular visits let the dentist catch a small cavity or an early crowding issue while the fix is still simple.
Parents tend to fall behind on their own care during these years. A missed cleaning becomes two, and a sensitive tooth gets ignored until it aches. Our cleanings and exams are the same easy appointment for adults, and booking a parent's visit next to a child's is one simple way to stay on track.
Our digital x-rays give off less radiation than film and show up on screen within moments. Parents of young children often ask about that first, and it is one reason we prefer them. A clear image also helps us explain to a seven-year-old why a tooth needs a little help.
Outside the office, families here have plenty of room to burn off energy. Conner Preserve, run by the Southwest Florida Water Management District off SR 52, offers miles of hiking and biking trails. The Conner Preserve page lists trail details and access points.
What a Dentist Near Connerton Can Handle for Your Family
Emergency Dentistry
Bikes, trampolines and playground falls lead to chipped teeth. If it happens during office hours, call and we will look at the injury as soon as the day's schedule lets us.
Preventative Dentistry
Routine cleanings, exams and x-rays keep small problems small. For a household with several kids, steady checkups cost less time and money than repeated repairs later.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges rebuild teeth that decay or damage has weakened. Parents who put their own care on hold during the early-childhood years often need this kind of catch-up work.
Invisalign®
Older kids and adults can straighten teeth with clear aligners. An iTero digital scanner captures a 3D model of the teeth for planning, and the first consultation costs nothing.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Once the kids are settled into school, many parents finally turn to their own smiles. Whitening, veneers and other cosmetic options are planned around what you want to change.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Tampa Smile Co. from Connerton, and how do I get there?
From Connerton Elementary, it is about 14.2 miles and roughly 27 minutes to our office. The route follows the Ehren Cutoff, then US 41 south and then west on SR 54 to Bexley Village Drive. Many parents looking for a dentist near Connerton like that it uses familiar roads they already drive every week.
How can Connerton parents make brushing less of a battle?
Make it a shared routine: brush together, let your child pick a toothbrush and use a two-minute song or timer. Praise effort rather than perfection. Most children need a parent to help or check their brushing for several years. Regular checkups help as well, because friendly visits make the dental chair feel routine instead of scary.
Why would a Connerton child's front tooth turn gray after a fall?
A gray or darkened tooth after a bump usually means the nerve inside was bruised or damaged. Sometimes the color fades on its own, but an infection can develop without any pain. Book an exam so the dentist can check the tooth with x-rays and watch it over time, which protects the tooth underneath.
What should we do if a child chips a tooth in a bike fall?
Rinse the mouth with water, save any broken piece in milk or a damp cloth and hold a cold compress on the lip for swelling. Small chips are usually repaired with tooth-colored bonding, while larger breaks may need a crown. New patients can book our $39 Exam & X-Ray to learn how deep the damage goes. Keep that plan in mind for any ride on Pasco County trails.
Can one membership plan cover both parents and kids?
Each family member joins their own tier, so a household simply combines plans. Adults pay $249 a year, children 13 and younger pay $160, and patients needing gum care can choose the $349 Perio Maintenance plan. Every tier includes cleanings, exams with x-rays and two emergency exams, plus 25% off most additional treatment.
