A biological dentist near Orlando.

From downtown Orlando, Natural Smiles is 106 miles away, and without traffic, the drive takes about 2 hours.

Patients driving from Orlando take I-4 west to Tampa, then I-275 south across Old Tampa Bay into St. Petersburg. Our office is at 132 Mirror Lake Dr. N., Unit 101, in downtown St. Petersburg, FL 33701, across from Mirror Lake Park and two blocks from the marina. Patients who fly can use Tampa International Airport, about 20 miles from the office, about 30 minutes away without traffic.

A first visit includes a new patient exam, a 3D CBCT scan, a full review of your health history, and a treatment plan in writing with a cost estimate from Dr. Litano. Patients travel to us from Orlando for zirconia ceramic implants, SMART mercury removal and cavitation surgery, and those coming for zirconia implants can complete the surgical phase in one trip. Our in-house lab mills a single zirconia crown in about three hours. Out-of-town patients can also stay in the private apartment one floor above the office.

Getting from Orlando to the office

From downtown Orlando, take I-4 for about 19 miles, then a short connector, then I-4 for about 62 miles.

From there, I-275 follows the route for about 22 miles across the Howard Frankland Bridge. Then take I-375, 8th Street North, 2nd Avenue North and Mirror Lake Drive North to reach the office.

Orlando Patients

Coming from Orlando.

What Orlando patients ask before the first drive over.

Natural Smiles in St. Petersburg is about 106 miles from downtown Orlando. Without traffic, the drive takes about 2 hours and 5 minutes. Traffic on I-4 can add time.

Tampa International Airport is the nearest airport to the office, about 20 miles away. Without traffic, the drive takes about 29 minutes and crosses the Howard Frankland Bridge. Orlando International Airport is about 107 miles from the office, about a 2 hour 10 minute drive without traffic.

Some visits fit in a single day, since the in-house lab can mill a same-day zirconia crown. For zirconia ceramic implants, a single trip is often possible, and a private apartment above the office is available for an overnight stay.

We start with a new patient exam, which includes a 3D CBCT scan and a full health history review. Dr. Litano then gives you a written treatment plan with a cost estimate before you make any decisions.
