Convenient Access from Harbour Island
Ringed by water and tied to the city by a short bridge over the Garrison Channel, Harbour Island feels apart from downtown even though it sits right across from it. When island residents need a dentist near Harbour Island, Tampa Smile Co. in South Tampa is about 9 minutes away by car. Our doctors provide family checkups, cosmetic work, clear aligners and implant care at one Tampa address.
Start from The Pointe, the waterfront dining and marina center on S Harbour Island Blvd. Cross the Harbour Island Bridge onto S Franklin St, with the Tampa Convention Center beside you, then jog along Channelside Dr, S Morgan St and E Brorein St to reach the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway. The expressway is a toll road; ride it west and exit toward Euclid Ave, then take W Euclid Ave to S Dale Mabry Hwy. Expect about 9 minutes for the 5.3-mile drive, longer when rush hour clogs the ramps.
The office stands at 3404 S Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33629, at the Sevilla St corner in the Palma Ceia area. We also welcome neighbors from Davis Islands, the neighboring islands across the water, and from Downtown Tampa, on the far side of the channel.
An Island Address With a South Tampa Dental Home
Few Tampa neighborhoods have a backstory like this one. The land began as Seddon Island, named for a railroad engineer, and it served as a port facility starting in 1906. In 1979 it was sold for mixed-use development, and in 1985 The Shoppes at Harbour Island opened on the waterfront.
That shopping center was rebranded as The Pointe in 2014, and its marina grew from 20 slips to 44. The Westin Tampa Waterside completed a $20 million renovation on the island, and the Convention Center stands just across the bridge. For a small neighborhood, there is a lot of activity packed along the seawalls.
The island is officially a sub-district of downtown, sharing the 33602 ZIP code. Downtown, the Convention Center and Channelside are all a short walk away, which makes a car trip for dental care one of the few drives of the week. We try to make that trip count by grouping visits, finishing exams and planning next steps in one sitting.
Our hours are built around a standard workweek. The office opens at 9 AM Monday through Friday, closes at 5 PM Monday through Thursday and at 3 PM on Friday, and opens on select Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM. We do not keep evening hours, so island residents with packed weekdays often reserve one of those Saturday mornings well ahead.
Smile Priorities for Harbour Island Neighbors
People who live a short walk from the Convention Center and downtown towers tend to spend their days face to face with clients, colleagues and visitors. A confident smile is part of the work wardrobe. That is why straightening, whitening and veneer questions come up so often with our patients from the island.
Porcelain veneers cover chips, gaps and stubborn stains with thin, custom shells. Our team plans the shape and shade with you first, so the result looks like your own teeth on a good day rather than a set of identical tiles. Many patients pair veneers with whitening for the teeth on either side.
Planning starts with good images. Our iTero digital scanner captures a 3D model of your teeth without trays of impression putty, and our CBCT 3D imaging gives the dentist a full view of bone and roots when implants are on the table. You can read more about both on our advanced technology page.
Prevention still comes first. A healthy foundation makes cosmetic work last, so we check gums and existing fillings before talking about any upgrade. Bright veneers on top of inflamed gums never look their best for long.
Dentist Near Harbour Island: Treatments We Offer
Invisalignยฎ
Clear aligners let island residents straighten teeth without anyone noticing at a client dinner. The consultation is free, and our membership plan takes 5% off Invisalign for patients without insurance.
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a missing tooth with a post that anchors in the jawbone and a crown that looks natural. Our implant consultation is complimentary and covers implant-supported dentures as well.
Cosmetic Dentistry
From whitening to veneers to a full smile redesign, cosmetic care helps your teeth match the polish of a waterfront lifestyle. Each plan starts with what you want to change and why.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and screenings protect natural teeth and any dental work you already have. Twice-a-year visits keep small problems from growing into larger repairs.
New patients often start with our $79 Exam & X-Ray, which includes a full exam, standard x-rays and treatment recommendations. It is a low-cost way to see where your teeth stand before deciding on aligners, veneers or an implant. Like every neighborhood we serve across Hillsborough County, Harbour Island gets the same unhurried first visit, with time set aside for your questions.
While you wait, the beverage station has coffee and water, and each treatment room is private, with a TV overhead and a blanket if the air conditioning runs cool. Those details matter most during longer cosmetic or implant appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Tampa Smile Co. from Harbour Island, and how do I get there?
The Pointe is about 5.3 miles from our office, roughly 9 minutes by car. You cross the bridge to Franklin St, take Channelside Dr, Morgan St and Brorein St to the Selmon Expressway, then follow Euclid Ave to Dale Mabry. Residents who want a dentist near Harbour Island should note the expressway is a toll road.
Can Harbour Island residents book a visit at the end of the workday?
Yes, until 5 PM Monday through Thursday and 3 PM on Friday. The Selmon Expressway, a toll road, makes the trip from Harbour Island quick, so a late-afternoon slot works if you leave downtown a little early. Select Saturdays from 9 AM to 2 PM are another option when weekdays are packed.
Can a dental implant replace a front tooth?
Yes. An implant post replaces the root, and a custom crown shaped and shaded to match your other teeth sits on top. CBCT 3D imaging helps the dentist check the bone before placement. The complimentary implant consultation covers whether you are a good candidate and what the timeline looks like for Harbour Island patients.
How often do I need dental x-rays?
It depends on your risk. Adults with healthy teeth often need bitewing x-rays every year or two, while people with frequent cavities or gum disease need them more often. We use digital x-rays, which take less radiation than film, and the dentist bases the schedule on your history and current mouth.
Why see a dentist if nothing hurts?
Because most dental problems do not hurt until they are advanced. Cavities, gum disease and cracked fillings often cause no pain early, when they are simpler and cheaper to treat. A checkup catches them early, and a cleaning removes tartar that brushing cannot. Most adults do well with two visits a year.
