Driving from Sarasota to our office.

Natural Smiles is 37.5 miles from downtown Sarasota, about 53 minutes away when there is no traffic.

From downtown Sarasota, the drive goes north on US 41 and US 301, then onto US 19 and I-275 across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge into St. Petersburg. The office is in downtown St. Petersburg at 132 Mirror Lake Dr. N., Unit 101, with Mirror Lake Park across the street and the marina two blocks away.

A first visit includes a new patient exam, a 3D CBCT scan, a health history review, and a treatment plan in writing with a cost estimate before you decide on care. Patients travel to us 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 can produce one zirconia crown in close to three hours, and a private apartment above the office is available for out-of-town patients.

"Took my now 19 month old here back when she chipped her tooth at 13 months. He was great with her. … Every one who works here is so pleasant. I will continue to make the 1 hour and 15 minute drive here just because of the atmosphere!"
