Hi, I’m Dr. Craig Baker, and I'm passionate about creating beautiful, healthy smiles.
Mission
A Proven Leader in Dentistry
Since 2009, I’ve had the privilege of helping patients in Clearwater, Safety Harbor, and the surrounding areas achieve their best smiles. My approach to dentistry focuses on combining the latest techniques and technologies with personalized care, ensuring that every patient receives the best possible outcome.
“To me, dentistry isn’t just about teeth—it’s about people. I love being part of my patients’ journeys, whether I’m helping a child feel brave during their first visit or creating a smile makeover that boosts someone’s confidence. Seeing a happy, healthy smile at the end of the day is the best reward.”
Education and Expertise
I earned both my bachelor’s degree and dental degree from the University of Florida College of Dentistry (Go Gators!) and am proud to be a lifelong learner in my field. I’ve completed extensive postgraduate training in:
- Advanced dental implants and mini implants
- Aesthetic dentistry and smile makeovers
- Occlusion and bite alignment
- Endodontics (root canal therapy)
This advanced training allows me to offer comprehensive care for everything from routine checkups to life-changing smile transformations. I stay committed to ongoing education, continually evaluating the latest methods and technologies to ensure my patients get the most comfortable and effective treatments available.
Professional Affiliations
I’m proud to be a member of several esteemed organizations, including:
- American Dental Association (ADA)
- Florida Dental Association (FDA)
- West Coast Dental Association
- Academy of General Dentistry (AGD)
- American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD)
Beyond the Office
When I’m not helping patients, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Dr. Cecilia Perera, and our family. We’ve been married for over 12 years and love calling Safety Harbor home. Outside of work, you might find me cycling, exploring local restaurants, or cheering on the Gators.
