Dentist Near Summerfield
Convenient Access from Summerfield
Big Bend Road does most of the work when Summerfield families drive to Apollo Beach Dental Excellence. Head west, turn south briefly on US-41, and you reach our Apollo Beach office in about 18 minutes. Parents comparing options for a dentist near Summerfield get one practice for children's checkups, teeth straightening and adult care, with five general dentists on the team.
Start at Summerfield Elementary School, 11990 Big Bend Rd, right beside the county's Summerfield Sports Complex. Follow Big Bend Rd (CR 672) west across US-301 and through the I-75 interchange, then turn left onto US-41 (Tamiami Trail) heading south. After a short run, turn right onto Apollo Beach Blvd and look for us at 433 Apollo Beach Blvd, Apollo Beach, FL 33572, between Central Blvd and Dickman Rd. The whole drive is about 8.5 miles and toll-free, though rush hour adds time at the Big Bend Rd interchange.
Made for Busy Summerfield Households
Summerfield is a suburban community of single-family subdivisions along Big Bend Rd, part of the larger Riverview area in Hillsborough County. Two public elementary schools carry its name: Summerfield Elementary on Big Bend Rd and Summerfield Crossings Elementary on Montrose Grove Ct. Next door to the Big Bend Rd school, the county sports complex offers soccer fields, picnic tables and a concession stand, a good clue to how many young families call the area home.
Busy family schedules leave little room for long waits. We open at 7:00 AM Monday through Thursday and keep seeing patients until 7:00 PM, so a parent can fit in a cleaning before work or bring a child in after school. Friday hours run from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Online booking, web chat and text messaging make it easy to set up visits without a long phone call.
Plenty of local parents also commute north on I-75 or along US-301. An early slot lets you finish your visit and still get on the road at a normal time. An evening slot does the same for the drive home.
Our office sits on the far side of both I-75 and US-301 from Summerfield, which can sound like a long way. In practice, Big Bend Rd carries you most of the distance as one straight road, with only a couple of turns at the end. It's a simple route to remember, even on your first trip.
Growing Smiles, From First Checkups to Straighter Teeth
Regular cleanings and exams catch small cavities while they're still small. Our general dentistry care includes pediatric dentistry, tooth-colored fillings and night guards, so children and parents can share one dental home. An intraoral camera lets our dentists show you exactly what they see, right on the screen.
Straightening often comes up as kids get older and as adults rethink their own smiles. Clear aligners move teeth with a series of removable trays, and our iTero scanner takes digital impressions for them. New patients can book a free clear aligner consultation, where the cost of treatment is estimated based on the case.
Kids are kids, and a cracked tooth or a sudden toothache can happen at practice or at the dinner table. We accept emergency cases and fit them in same-day whenever possible. New patients can use our $49 Emergency Exam Special, which includes an exam with x-rays, so you know what's wrong before deciding on treatment.
Cost matters for families paying out of pocket. The Dental Excellence Savings Club Child plan, for kids 12 and younger, costs $29 a month and covers two cleanings a year, doctor exams, needed x-rays and one emergency exam a year. Members also get 20% off other treatments, with some exclusions, and adults join at $34 a month.
Some patients also ask about Accelerated Orthodontics. We offer the VPro+ and Excellerator systems, and our dentists explain at the consultation whether either one fits your treatment plan.
Whitening rounds out the list for many Summerfield adults, especially before a wedding, a graduation or family photos. GLO professional whitening is done in our office with a warming LED light, and our team can tell you how it compares with store-bought kits.
Family Services From a Dentist Near Summerfield
General Dentistry
Checkups, cleanings, fillings and children's visits form the base of every family's care. Same-day crowns are available when a tooth needs more than a filling, which spares a busy parent a second trip.
Clear Aligners
Removable, nearly invisible trays straighten teeth without brackets. They come out for meals and brushing, which suits students and working parents alike.
Accelerated Orthodontics
VPro+ and Excellerator are tools our dentists can add to an orthodontic plan. They review at your visit whether either one makes sense for your teeth.
GLO Professional Whitening
An in-office system with a warming LED light lifts stains from coffee, tea and everyday life. It's a convenient option for parents with a big event on the calendar.
Meet Your Apollo Beach Dental Team
Two of the dentists Summerfield parents may meet are Dr. Nesreen Nimer and Dr. Sean Gassett. Dr. Nimer grew up in Tampa, studied at the University of South Florida and Case Western Reserve University, and holds clear aligner certification. Dr. Gassett was born in Daytona Beach, raised in Gainesville, and earned his Bachelor of Science, MBA and DMD at the University of Florida.
Insurance & Financing
If your family carries PPO dental coverage, it will likely be accepted here: the office is in-network with almost all local PPO plans. Without coverage, the Savings Club starts with a one-time $99 activation fee that includes the first month. For aligners and other larger treatment, Cherry, Sunbit and CareCredit let you pay over time, and we take cards, cash and personal checks.
What Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Apollo Beach Dental Excellence from Summerfield, and how do I get there?
Our office sits about 8.5 miles from Summerfield, typically an 18-minute trip. You drive west on Big Bend Rd (CR 672) past US-301 and I-75, turn south on US-41, then take Apollo Beach Blvd to our door. For families wanting a dentist near Summerfield, it's nearly a straight line from home.
Does anyone on your team have experience treating patients with developmental disabilities?
Yes. Dr. Nesreen Nimer completed a general practice residency at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago, and that training included caring for patients with developmental disabilities. Sharing your family member's needs when you book helps our dentists prepare. Nitrous oxide is also available for patients who need extra help relaxing in the chair.
How much do clear aligners cost?
The price depends on your case. Our dentists estimate treatment cost at the consultation, after they see how far your teeth need to move. New patients can book a Free Clear Aligner Consultation at no charge, and the cost can be spread out through Cherry, Sunbit, CareCredit or a payment plan.
Do you make night guards for teeth grinding?
Yes. Night guards are part of our general dentistry care. A custom guard is made to fit your bite and helps protect your teeth from the wear that nighttime grinding or clenching can cause. Our dentists look for signs of grinding during regular exams and can talk through whether a guard makes sense for you.
Can a cavity be fixed with a tooth-colored filling?
Usually, yes. Tooth-colored fillings are part of our general dentistry care and blend with the natural shade of your tooth, for kids and adults alike. When a cavity is too large for a filling, a crown designed and milled in our office can often be placed the same day.
