Convenient Access from Bayshore Beautiful
Six in the morning on Bayshore Blvd: runners trade nods on the wide sidewalk, cyclists hum north in the bike lane, and the downtown skyline catches the first light across Hillsborough Bay. Tampa Smile Co. is a dentist near Bayshore Beautiful, set just west of the neighborhood in South Tampa. From the waterfront, our door is only about 3 minutes away by car.
Start on Bayshore Blvd along the linear park between W El Prado Blvd and W Wallcraft Ave, and drive north to El Prado. Turn left and follow W El Prado Blvd west for its full length, past quiet residential blocks, until it meets S Dale Mabry Hwy. Turn right and go one block north to 3404 S Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33629 at the Sevilla St corner, a trip of just 1.3 miles. Neighbors in Palma Ceia and Ballast Point reach us just as easily.
Close to the Water, Closer to Your Dentist
The City of Tampa calls Bayshore Beautiful home to some of Tampa's most stately and elegant houses, many with views of the skyline. El Prado Blvd frames the north side and Bayshore Blvd the east. Virginia Park lies to the west, Ballast Point to the southeast and Sun Bay South to the southwest.
The neighborhood's front porch is the Bayshore sidewalk. The City describes it as a 4.5-mile, 10-foot-wide continuous path running from Columbus Statue Park to Gandy Blvd. A three-mile on-road bike lane follows the northbound side between Rome Ave and Gandy.
Our office sits in the Palma Ceia area, about a quarter mile west of the neighborhood's edge, so El Prado really is the only road you need. Two ZIP Codes, 33611 and 33629, cover these streets, and the second matches ours. It all lies within Hillsborough County, a short run from the water.
Away from the water, the inner streets of Bayshore Beautiful are quieter. Waverly Park, a small City park on W Waverly Ave Circle, sits among them, and the MacDill Ave shops near Wallcraft give the neighborhood its own coffee corner. Most errands, and most dental visits, never require a highway.
Inside, you can trade the morning heat for a private treatment room, a blanket and a TV. A coffee or water from our beverage station is waiting if you come straight from a workout.
What Bayshore Beautiful Runners and Riders Should Know About Their Teeth
An active neighborhood brings a particular set of dental problems. A stumble on a curb, a handlebar to the chin or a dropped water bottle can chip a front tooth in a second. Long runs and sports drinks also bathe teeth in sugar and acid, which slowly wears enamel.
When a tooth breaks, the fix often depends on how much of it is left. Small chips can be bonded, while larger breaks usually need dental crowns to protect what remains. A crack that reaches the nerve may call for a root canal first.
Families round out the picture. Academy of the Holy Names, a private Catholic school founded in 1881, fronts Bayshore at the neighborhood's northern edge, and Ballast Point Elementary sits just to the south. School-year checkups fit easily into our hours, Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM.
Longtime homeowners bring a different list. Crowns placed decades ago, a gap left by an old extraction or gums that bleed after flossing all deserve attention before they become urgent. We can stage bigger work over several visits, so treatment fits both your calendar and your budget.
Select Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM help weekend athletes who would rather not miss a weekday training block. We do not keep evening hours, so mornings and midday are the easiest windows.
Treatment Close to Home With a Dentist Near Bayshore Beautiful
Emergency Dentistry
A tooth knocked loose on a Saturday ride needs fast attention. Call us right away, and new patients can start with our $79 exam and x-rays, which covers emergency visits.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Bonding, whitening and veneers erase old chips and stains from years of coffee on the porch. The goal is a smile that looks like yours on a very good day.
Root Canal Therapy
When an injury or deep decay reaches the nerve, root canal therapy relieves the ache and keeps the natural tooth in place. A crown usually follows to strengthen it.
Dental Implants
If a tooth cannot be saved, an implant replaces it with a stable, natural-looking result. Our CBCT 3D imaging maps the bone so we can plan placement carefully.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings and exams catch enamel wear from sports drinks before it turns into sensitivity. Our digital x-rays use less radiation than traditional film.
Every Bayshore Beautiful patient starts with a conversation about how you actually live, from training mileage to how much coffee you drink. That context shapes which of these treatments matters first. We would rather fix one thing well than sell five things at once.
Meet Your South Tampa Dentists
Tampa native Dr. Adam Gray keeps up ongoing training in surgical and cosmetic dentistry, a good match for repairing sports injuries. Dr. Mohammad Bawany began his career in Ormond Beach before founding the practice in Tampa. Dr. Natalie Bentivegna, also from Tampa, practiced around Tampa Bay before joining them.
Insurance & Financing
GEHA, Lincoln Financial and Mutual of Omaha are a few of the PPO plans we accept in-network. Proceed Finance, CareCredit and HFD can break a larger plan into monthly payments. The $349 Perio Maintenance membership suits uninsured patients who need extra gum care.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Tampa Smile Co. from Bayshore Beautiful, and how do I get there?
We are 1.3 miles from the Bayshore linear park between El Prado and Wallcraft, typically a 3-minute drive. Go north on Bayshore Blvd, west on W El Prado Blvd, then a block north on S Dale Mabry Hwy. Few routes to a dentist near Bayshore Beautiful are simpler, since El Prado does nearly all the work.
What should Bayshore Beautiful cyclists do if a fall breaks a front tooth?
Check for a head injury first, then rinse your mouth, save any tooth fragments in milk and hold a cold compress on your lip. Call the office promptly. New patients can use the $79 Exam & X-Ray for emergencies, and many broken front teeth can be rebuilt with bonding or a crown once the dentist sees how deep the break goes.
Can sports drinks on long runs wear down my teeth?
Yes, frequent sips of sugary, acidic sports drinks can soften enamel over time. Rinsing with plain water after a long Bayshore run helps, and so does waiting a little before brushing. Regular cleanings let us spot early wear and sensitivity, long before they turn into cavities or a cracked tooth.
Does whitening toothpaste really work?
Somewhat. Whitening toothpastes polish away surface stains with mild abrasives, but they do not change the natural shade of your teeth. For a noticeably brighter smile, professional whitening works far better. Raise it at your next cleaning, since removing tartar first and checking existing crowns or fillings helps you get an even result.
Does the membership plan lower the cost of dental implants?
Yes, our in-house membership plans include 15% off dental implants. They also cover cleanings, exams with x-rays and two emergency exams each year, with no deductibles or waiting periods. Pairing a membership with the complimentary implant consultation gives you a clear price before you decide on treatment.
