(727) 531-4462A dentist serving Tarpon Springs.
About 20 minutes south of the Sponge Docks. In-house implants by a board-certified periodontist, AACD cosmetic dentistry, and full family care, all from one Safety Harbor office. Bilingual EN / ES.
Why Tarpon Springs patients drive to us.
Our office sits in downtown Safety Harbor, roughly 20 minutes south of the town, an easy run down US-19 or the slower, prettier Alt-19. Tarpon Springs patients tend to find us when they want implant surgery and the final crown handled by the same team in the same building, instead of being referred out to Tampa or St. Petersburg.
That combination is the draw: Dr. Cecilia Perera is a board-certified periodontist who places implants in-house, and Dr. Craig Baker is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry who designs the restorations. For a Sponge Docks or downtown Tarpon Springs family juggling schedules, keeping the whole treatment plan under one roof is what makes the drive worth it.
Care that fits Tarpon Springs.
Family dentistry, cosmetic work (veneers, whitening, smile makeovers), full implant care, dentures, root canals, and periodontal treatment, with bilingual treatment planning available on request.
