Medically reviewed by Dr. Craig Baker, DMD · General Dentist · AACD Member · Last reviewed Care covered.
Cleanings & exams
Twice-yearly hygiene visits with a comprehensive exam, oral cancer screening, and bitewing radiographs at the cadence your insurance covers. We move at your pace, no rushing children or older patients.
Fillings & restorations
Tooth-colored composite fillings for new decay, crowns for compromised teeth, and bridges where a tooth needs to be replaced quickly. Conservative removal of healthy tooth structure is the philosophy of the practice.
Hygiene & gum care
Standard prophy cleanings, scaling and root planing for early gum disease, and perio maintenance for patients in active periodontal therapy. Dr. Perera reviews complex cases.
Sealants & fluoride
Plastic sealants on first and second molars (around ages 6 and 12) reduce cavity risk on chewing surfaces by ~80%. Fluoride varnish at every preventive visit when indicated.
Kids
We see patients from their first tooth onward. First visits are short and gentle; we narrate everything in age-appropriate language and let kids see the instruments before we use them.
Whole-family scheduling
Stacking parent + kid appointments back-to-back is the most-requested logistical favor. Call (727) 531-4462 and we will block the chairs side-by-side.
The team behind the work.
Dr. Craig Baker (DMD, AACD member, University of Florida College of Dentistry) leads the family-dentistry side, with Dr. Cecilia Perera (board-certified periodontist) handling any periodontal escalations from routine hygiene.
Questions we hear often.
How often should I come in for a cleaning?
Every 6 months for most patients. Patients with periodontal history, diabetes, smoking, or immunosuppression may benefit from 3- or 4-month maintenance cleanings.
What insurance do you accept?
Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Guardian, Humana, Lincoln Financial, MetLife, Principal, UnitedHealthcare, United Concordia, and most major dental plans.
Do you treat children?
Yes, from the first tooth through teens, plus adults and seniors. We see siblings together when possible.
What about dental anxiety?
We offer in-office sedation options (nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation) for anxious patients, and routinely accommodate slower-paced visits.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes, we welcome new patients of all ages. Call (727) 531-4462 or book online, and we will verify your insurance and send the new-patient paperwork before your first visit.
Do you serve patients from Clearwater and Palm Harbor?
Yes. Our office is in downtown Safety Harbor, a short drive from Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, and Oldsmar, and we see families from across Pinellas County.
