Convenient Access from Odessa
The lights come on over the softball field at Odessa Community Park, and someone in the bleachers remembers they still haven't booked a checkup. If you need a dentist near Odessa, Tampa Smile Co. is a short hop east in Land O' Lakes, about 8 minutes from that park. Our doctors care for whole families, from first cleanings to implants, in an office built around comfort.
From the park entrance at 1627 Chesapeake Dr, follow Chesapeake Dr out to Black Lake Rd, the short state road (SR 54A) that once carried SR 54 through town. Turn right onto SR 54 heading east and stay on it for roughly 2 miles, passing The Preserve Marketplace with its Publix GreenWise Market and then the Suncoast Parkway overpass. Turn left onto Bexley Village Dr into The Hub at Bexley, where you'll find us at 16992 Focus Lp, Land O' Lakes, FL 34638, a 3.4-mile trip that usually takes 8 minutes. Open our office on Google Maps for turn-by-turn help, and see our pages for nearby Asturia and Starkey Ranch if friends live there too.
Lake Lots, Horse Pastures and a Family Dental Home
Odessa has always had room to breathe. Long before the newer subdivisions arrived, this corner of the county was known for open land, ranching and horse properties. Homes still sit along Lake Minniola, Black Lake, Lake Geneva and Lake Seminole, a few minutes from the county park on Chesapeake Dr.
Today those long-time households share the roads with young families who moved in as Tampa's growth pushed north. That mix is exactly who we see every week. A retiree who has worn the same bridge for decades and a parent booking a child's first visit both deserve unhurried care and clear answers.
Staying close to home matters out here. Odessa families already drive plenty, whether it's feed runs, school pickups or regular trips into Tampa. Keeping your dental care a few miles up SR 54 means one less trip across the bay area, and one less afternoon lost to traffic.
Once you pull into The Hub at Bexley, the visit itself is designed to feel calm. Each patient gets a private operatory with a TV overhead and a blanket on request. Our beverage station keeps coffee and water ready while you check in. Small touches like these help nervous patients settle in before anyone picks up an instrument.
The setting makes errands easy, too. The Hub sits at the SR 54 entrance to Bexley, with coffee, dining and fitness shops a short walk from our door. NorthPointe Village and its restaurants are just across SR 54, and The Preserve Marketplace is on your way home. Pairing a cleaning with a grocery stop turns a dental visit into one tidy outing.
What Odessa Households Should Know About Their Dental Care
Growth has changed the shape of daily life here. The census-designated place has grown quickly in the last two decades, and new rooftops bring new patients who are often still searching for a regular dental office. A steady routine of cleanings and exams is the simplest way to catch small problems while they are still small.
Long-time residents bring a different set of needs. Older fillings, crowns and bridges eventually wear out, and a tooth lost years ago can let neighboring teeth drift. Our team plans those repairs in steps, so a household can budget for them rather than face everything at once.
Gum health deserves its own mention. Bleeding when you brush is easy to ignore, but it is often the first sign of gum inflammation. Patients with a history of gum disease may do better on a periodontal maintenance schedule, which our Perio Maintenance membership covers for uninsured adults at $349 a year.
Odessa also has a small-town history worth a smile. Peter Demens named the settlement in the 1880s and grew it around the Orange Belt Railway, which ran beside today's SR 54. That same corridor now carries neighbors east to our door in about eight minutes.
Many adults here have gone a few years between visits, often because the last office they trusted closed or moved away. There is no lecture waiting for you. We start with a full exam and x-rays, explain what we see on the screen, and rank any needs from urgent to optional. You decide the pace, and we keep the plan in writing so nothing gets lost between appointments.
Care for Every Generation from Our Dentist Near Odessa
Preventative Dentistry
Regular cleanings, exams and digital x-rays keep households ahead of decay and gum trouble. Digital x-rays use less radiation than film, which parents appreciate. New patients without insurance can start with our $99 cleaning, exam and x-ray, as long as no gum disease is present.
Restorative Dentistry
Lake-house owners who settled here decades ago often carry older dental work that needs attention. We replace worn fillings and rebuild cracked teeth with dental crowns made to match your bite. The goal is a mouth that chews comfortably for years.
Dental Implants
When a tooth is missing, an implant can replace it from the root up. Our CBCT 3D imaging shows bone and nerve positions before treatment, so planning is precise. Neighbors can begin with a complimentary implant consultation, including for implant-supported dentures.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Brighter, more even smiles suit the newer families settling around Gunn Highway and SR 54. Whitening and veneers can refresh a smile ahead of a wedding or a new job. We talk through options and costs plainly before any work begins.
Emergency Dentistry
A cracked tooth on a weekend ride or a sudden toothache after dinner needs a quick plan. New patients can book a $39 exam and x-ray that covers dental emergencies. We explain what we find and lay out next steps in plain terms.
Not sure which of these you need? That is what the first visit is for. We look at the whole mouth, listen to what bothers you, and suggest a sensible order of care. Treatment that can wait gets scheduled around your life, not the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Tampa Smile Co. from Odessa, and how do I get there?
Our office is 3.4 miles from Odessa Community Park, usually an 8-minute drive. Take Chesapeake Dr to Black Lake Rd, then SR 54 east past the Suncoast Parkway and turn left on Bexley Village Dr. For a dentist near Odessa without a long commute, that short run up SR 54 is about as easy as it gets.
What should an Odessa rider do if a fall from a horse chips a tooth?
Save any broken pieces, rinse gently with water and call the office during business hours. If the fall also caused a head injury, have that checked at an emergency room first. New patients can book our $39 Exam & X-Ray, which covers dental emergencies and includes a full exam, standard x-rays and a clear treatment recommendation. Riders across Pasco County should keep the office number handy.
Will I pay any tolls driving from Odessa?
No. The usual drive stays on local roads and SR 54, which passes under the Suncoast Parkway overpass shortly before our turn, so there is no toll plaza and no highway merge. It is a straight run east past The Preserve Marketplace to Bexley Village Dr, which keeps an early appointment easy to plan.
Can long-time Odessa residents replace old bridges or missing teeth here?
Yes. We regularly replace aging bridges and fill gaps with crowns, dentures or dental implants. CBCT 3D imaging helps us check the bone before implant planning. Residents who have lived by the lakes for decades can start with a complimentary implant consultation and compare options side by side.
Is there a weekend option for Odessa families with packed weekdays?
Yes, on select Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM. During the week we are open Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM. Select Saturday slots tend to suit households juggling ranch chores, ball practice and school runs.
