Convenient Access from Westshore
Two roads, about 8 minutes: Kennedy Blvd east, then Dale Mabry Hwy south. For people who spend the workday in the Westshore business district, Tampa Smile Co. is a dentist near Westshore that you can reach on a lunch break. Our office sits on S Dale Mabry Hwy in the Palma Ceia area of South Tampa, so the trip stays on two of the city's best-known roads.
Pull out of the WestShore Plaza lots at 250 WestShore Plaza onto W Kennedy Blvd and drive east to Dale Mabry Hwy. Turn south and stay on S Dale Mabry Hwy for roughly 2.2 miles, past Bay to Bay Blvd, to the corner of Sevilla St. The drive totals about 3.7 miles and takes around 8 minutes in typical traffic.
Our address is 3404 S Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33629. If you live south of the district, you may know the residential streets of Beach Park and Culbreath Isles, both a short drive from our chair.
Dental Care That Works Around a Westshore Workday
Westshore is one of Tampa's principal business districts, a stretch of office towers, hotels and restaurants with Westshore Blvd as its main street. The City classifies it as a non-residential area, so for most people it is a place to work, shop or catch a flight. International Plaza and Bay Street and WestShore Plaza anchor the shopping, and Tampa International Airport sits inside the district.
That rhythm shapes how dental care fits in. A cleaning at 11:30 or an exam at 1 PM can work if the office is close and the drive is simple. With Kennedy and Dale Mabry doing nearly all the work, you can be back at your desk with time to spare.
We keep weekday hours from 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Thursday and 9 AM to 3 PM on Friday. There are no evening appointments, so late-morning and early-afternoon slots are the sweet spot for office workers. Select Saturdays, 9 AM to 2 PM, round out the week.
Rush hour on Kennedy can add a few minutes, so a midday appointment is usually the smoothest drive. Booking your next visit at checkout locks in a time before your calendar fills. If something urgent comes up, a quick call lets the front desk look for the first opening that fits between meetings.
What Westshore Professionals Tend to Put Off
Busy schedules push dental visits down the list, and a six-month cleaning can quietly become two years. Small cavities grow in that time, and gum inflammation that would have cleared with a cleaning can settle in. Getting back on schedule is often simpler than people fear.
Client-facing work keeps a smile front and center. Coffee and tea stain enamel over time, and older fillings can darken. Whitening, bonding and clear aligners address those concerns without long recovery or much time away from work.
Travel adds another wrinkle for anyone flying out of the airport down the road. A cracked tooth on the morning of a trip is no fun. Regular checkups give the doctors a chance to spot weak fillings and stress cracks before they fail at a bad moment.
Some patients put off care because a past visit went badly. Our doctors explain what they see on the screen, and nothing starts until you agree to it. Every patient also gets a private operatory with a TV and a blanket, plus coffee or water from the station up front.
Clenching under deadline pressure shows up as flattened, worn edges on the teeth. The doctors check for that wear at each visit and talk through ways to protect your enamel.
Treatments a Dentist Near Westshore Can Offer
Invisalign®
Clear aligners straighten teeth with no brackets showing in meetings. Our iTero scanner captures your bite digitally, and progress checks are quick enough for a lunch hour.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Professional teeth whitening, bonding and veneers brighten a smile stained by years of coffee. We plan the shade and shape with you before treatment begins.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings and exams twice a year protect everything else. Booking the next one before you leave keeps it from slipping behind a busy quarter.
Emergency Dentistry
A broken tooth during the workday needs prompt attention. Call us, and we will find the earliest opening for an exam.
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a missing tooth with a stable, natural-looking result. The consultation is complimentary, so you can learn your options without a commitment.
First-time patients pay $79 for a new-patient exam and x-ray visit that bundles a complete exam, standard x-rays and a treatment plan. The same offer covers an urgent first visit, so a cracked tooth in the middle of the workweek doesn't come with a surprise bill for the diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Tampa Smile Co. from Westshore, and how do I get there?
From WestShore Plaza, the office is about 3.7 miles away, roughly an 8-minute drive. Go east on W Kennedy Blvd, then south on S Dale Mabry Hwy to Sevilla St. Most people looking for a dentist near Westshore find that this two-road route is easy to fit into a long lunch.
Should Westshore business travelers fix a toothache before flying?
Yes, get it examined before you leave, because changes in cabin pressure can make an existing problem, such as a deep cavity or infection, hurt more. New patients can book the $79 Exam & X-Ray for an urgent check. Mention your travel date when you call so the team can plan any needed treatment around it.
Can stress at a Westshore desk job cause teeth grinding?
Yes. Stress is a common cause of clenching and grinding, often during sleep or while concentrating at a screen. Signs include morning jaw soreness, headaches and flattened or chipped tooth edges. It is common in demanding office jobs in Westshore and across Hillsborough County, and the dentist can check for wear at your exam.
Can I go back to the office right after a filling?
Yes, most people go straight back to work after a filling. The numbness usually wears off within a few hours, so avoid hot drinks and chewing on that side until it does, to protect your cheek and tongue. Tooth-colored composite fillings harden right away, so you can eat normally once feeling returns.
Will my employer's PPO plan work at your office?
Very likely, since the office is in network with many PPO plans, including the three named above and most other PPOs. Bring your insurance card to the first visit so the team can confirm your coverage. Without dental benefits through work, the Adult Wellness membership covers cleanings, exams with x-rays and two emergency exams for $249 a year.
