Dentist Near MiraBay
Convenient Access from MiraBay
MiraBay homeowners who want a dentist near MiraBay without a trip into Tampa can reach Apollo Beach Dental Excellence in about 7 minutes. We are on Apollo Beach Blvd in Apollo Beach, a little over 3 miles from the community's main boulevard, with five dentists on staff. Appointments start at 7:00 AM and run until 7:00 PM Monday through Thursday, so care fits on either side of the workday.
Leave the neighborhood by heading east on Mirabay Boulevard, then turn left onto Golf and Sea Boulevard and right onto Leisey Road. At US-41 (Tamiami Trail), turn left and drive north, then turn left again onto Apollo Beach Blvd. Plan on 3.2 miles and roughly 7 minutes in total. You will find us at 433 Apollo Beach Blvd, Apollo Beach, FL 33572, and our listing on Google Maps gives turn-by-turn directions.
Traffic signals on US-41 slow the drive at rush hour. Patients also come to us from Waterset, just across US-41, and from Ruskin to the south.
A Short Drive From the Water's Edge
MiraBay is a waterfront community inside Apollo Beach, set on the Tampa Bay shore at the south end of Apollo Beach in Hillsborough County. It sits west of US-41, where the land meets the bay and Apollo Beach's network of roughly 55 miles of canals. Residents include waterfront homeowners and families, and the bay is never far from daily life.
The bay shapes the views around MiraBay too. Big Bend Power Station rises across the water, and the county's Apollo Beach Nature Preserve sits less than 3 miles north, with a small beach and a 37-foot observation tower. To the southwest, E.G. Simmons Conservation Park offers a beach, kayak rentals and a boat launch just north of Ruskin.
All that time outdoors comes with a schedule to protect. Our office keeps the drive short so a cleaning does not swallow a whole morning or a precious afternoon off. Most MiraBay visits use a few local roads and one stretch of US-41, with no interstate at all.
Our own corner of Apollo Beach has a longer story than many newcomers expect. Development began here in 1923 on land owned by the Dickman family, and the Apollo Beach name dates to 1958. Today the office sits on Apollo Beach Blvd near Apollo Beach K-8 School.
Smile Goals and Workday Schedules in MiraBay
Downtown Tampa is about 17 miles north of Apollo Beach, and some MiraBay residents make that drive for work. Those long commutes are exactly why a 7:00 AM cleaning or a 6:00 PM exam matters. A patient can stop in, finish routine care and still start the commute on time.
For people who spend the day meeting clients, how a smile looks can matter as much as how it feels. Whitening, straightening and repairing worn teeth come up often at checkups. Our dentists talk through the options, show patients their teeth with an intraoral camera and help them decide what is worth doing now.
Snoring can also point to a bigger problem. A custom oral appliance can be an alternative to CPAP for suitable patients with sleep apnea, and new patients can request a free sleep study and sleep apnea consultation. Imaging or treatment beyond the study is not included unless stated.
Time on the water brings its own habits worth watching. Sports drinks, sweet coffee on the commute and snacking through a long afternoon on a boat all feed the bacteria that cause decay. Clenching during a stressful week can wear teeth down, and a custom night guard protects them while you sleep. Regular cleanings catch both problems before they need bigger repairs.
What a Dentist Near MiraBay Can Offer Your Smile
GLO Professional Whitening
The in-office GLO system uses a warming LED light to brighten teeth in the office. It suits residents preparing for a wedding, a reunion or a season of photos on the water.
Clear Aligners
Removable aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires, which appeals to adults who meet clients face to face. Planning uses iTero digital scans rather than putty impressions.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Chipped, worn or uneven teeth can be improved so a smile looks balanced again. Treatment is planned around the result each patient has in mind.
Sleep Apnea
Custom oral appliances give suitable patients an alternative to a CPAP machine. They are small enough to pack for a boat trip or a business flight.
General Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, fillings and night guards keep the basics covered between bigger projects. Same-day crowns, designed and milled in the office, spare busy patients a second trip.
Adults curious whether aligners would work for them can start with a free clear aligner consultation, available to new patients. Treatment cost depends on the case and is estimated at the consult.
Meet Your Apollo Beach Dental Team
Cosmetic work is a real passion for Dr. Shadan Yassine, who earned her DMD at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and is certified in clear aligners. She practiced in Massachusetts and North Carolina before joining us. Dr. Sean Gassett, born in Daytona Beach and raised in Gainesville, holds a Bachelor of Science, an MBA and a DMD, all from the University of Florida.
Insurance & Financing
Residents with workplace PPO coverage will likely find us in-network, because we are in-network for almost all local PPO plans. Cosmetic projects can be split into monthly payments through Cherry, Sunbit or CareCredit. We accept credit and debit cards, cash and personal checks as well.
What Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Apollo Beach Dental Excellence from MiraBay, and how do I get there?
The office is about 3.2 miles from Mirabay Boulevard, a drive of roughly 7 minutes. The route runs east to Golf and Sea Boulevard, then Leisey Road to US-41 north, then left onto Apollo Beach Blvd. For anyone who wants a dentist near MiraBay, that keeps the whole trip on local roads with no interstate.
Can I get a cleaning before my commute into Tampa?
Yes. Monday through Thursday the first appointments start at 7:00 AM, early enough for many commuters to finish a cleaning and exam before heading north. Evenings work as well, since the office stays open until 7:00 PM on those days. Friday hours are 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
How does GLO professional whitening work?
GLO is an in-office system that pairs a whitening gel with a warming LED light. The treatment happens in our office, under the eye of the dental team. Our dentists first check that your teeth and gums are healthy, because whitening works best on a clean, cavity-free smile and does not change crowns or fillings.
Can I straighten my teeth without metal braces?
Yes. Clear aligners are removable trays that move teeth gradually without brackets or wires, and many adults choose them for that reason. Our office also offers Accelerated Orthodontics with VPro+ and Excellerator. New patients can start with a free clear aligner consultation, where the cost of their treatment is estimated based on the case.
Is loud snoring a sign of sleep apnea?
Not always, but it can be. Loud snoring with pauses in breathing, gasping or daytime tiredness is worth checking. New patients can schedule a free sleep study and sleep apnea consultation, and suitable patients may use a custom oral appliance as an alternative to CPAP. Additional imaging or treatment is not included unless stated.
