Dentist Near Riverview
Convenient Access from Riverview
Commuters who need a dentist near Riverview can see us before the workday starts or after it ends. Apollo Beach Dental Excellence opens at 7:00 AM and stays open until 7:00 PM Monday through Thursday, and the drive south to our Apollo Beach office takes about 18 minutes via I-75. Five general dentists share the schedule, which keeps early and late slots within reach.
From the Riverview Public Library at 9951 Balm Riverview Rd, drive a short way to Boyette Rd and turn right, heading west as it becomes Gibsonton Dr. Take I-75 south, exit at Big Bend Rd (CR 672) and go west to US-41 (Tamiami Trail). Turn left, head south briefly, then turn right onto Apollo Beach Blvd to reach 433 Apollo Beach Blvd, Apollo Beach, FL 33572, just west of Central Blvd. The whole drive covers about 10.7 miles with no tolls, though I-75 and its interchanges slow down at rush hour.
Our patients also come from Progress Village and Gibsonton, both close neighbors.
Fitting Dental Visits Into a Riverview Workweek
Riverview is one of the largest unincorporated communities in Hillsborough County, home to more than 100,000 people across about 48 square miles of subdivisions and master-planned neighborhoods. It grew by roughly half between 2010 and 2020. I-75 forms its western edge with four exits, giving commuters quick access to jobs north and south.
That commute is exactly why our hours matter. A 7:00 AM cleaning means you can be back on I-75 before many workdays begin. A late-afternoon or early-evening appointment works on the way home, Monday through Thursday, and Friday visits run from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Riverview's roots run deep. The community absorbed the older settlement of Peru in the 1940s, and Florida's first commercial poultry farm started here in 1921. Today, Riverview High School on Boyette Rd and Spoto High School serve the teens of a much larger, more suburban place.
Booking fits a busy schedule too. You can request a time online, message the office through web chat, or send a text when a phone call isn't practical during work hours.
From the Alafia River to the Office: What Riverview Adults Ask About
Riverview was founded in 1885 on the north shore of the Alafia River, and the river still runs through the north of the community. The county's Riverview Park and Civic Center on Park Dr. has a two-lane boat ramp on the river, and Bell Creek Nature Preserve offers a quieter green space. The new 35,000-square-foot library, opened in 2021, includes a recording studio, a makerspace and an early learning center.
Many working adults here want a brighter, straighter smile without a long string of appointments. Clear aligners use removable trays and digital impressions from our iTero scanner, so there's no goopy impression putty. GLO professional whitening is done in our office with a warming LED light.
Poor sleep is another complaint we hear from busy professionals. Snoring and daytime fatigue can point to sleep apnea, and a custom oral appliance offers an alternative to CPAP for suitable patients. New patients can book a free sleep study and sleep apnea consultation; additional imaging or treatment is not included unless stated.
Dental emergencies don't respect a work calendar either. We accept emergency cases and fit patients in same-day whenever possible. New patients can use our $49 Emergency Exam Special, which includes an exam with x-rays, to find out what's wrong before choosing treatment.
Busy schedules also make it tempting to skip checkups. Regular cleanings and exams catch small problems before they turn into a root canal or a crown, and same-day crowns milled in our office can spare you a second trip for a crown.
Treatments That Bring Commuters to a Dentist Near Riverview
Clear Aligners
Nearly invisible trays straighten teeth while you keep up with meetings and travel. They come out for meals, so lunch meetings stay simple.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Chips, gaps and worn edges can be improved with a plan built around your own goals. Our dentists walk you through the options before any work starts.
GLO Professional Whitening
An in-office whitening system with a warming LED light lifts coffee and tea stains. It's a practical choice ahead of an interview, a presentation or a big family event.
Sleep Apnea
A custom oral appliance worn at night can be an easier alternative to a CPAP machine. It packs small for work trips, too.
General Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, fillings, night guards and same-day crowns cover the routine care that helps Riverview adults avoid bigger problems later.
Overdue for a checkup after a job change or a move? A cleaning and exam is the simplest place to restart. Our dentists note what needs attention now and what can wait, so you can schedule any treatment around your work calendar instead of the other way around.
Meet Your Apollo Beach Dental Team
Two of the dentists you may meet here are Dr. Shadan Yassine and Dr. Hanan Beck. Dr. Yassine is clear aligner certified and earned her DMD at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Beck, a Florida panhandle native, completed her Doctorate in Dental Medicine at Case Western Reserve University and focuses on prevention and patient education.
Insurance & Financing
Employer PPO plans are welcome: the office is in-network for almost all local PPO plans and works with your insurer to maximize your benefits. Aligners and other elective treatment can be financed through Cherry, Sunbit or CareCredit, or split into a payment plan.
What Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Apollo Beach Dental Excellence from Riverview, and how do I get there?
From the Riverview Public Library it's about 10.7 miles, or around 18 minutes. The route follows Boyette Rd and Gibsonton Dr west, I-75 south, Big Bend Rd west and a short stretch of US-41 south to Apollo Beach Blvd. Commuters looking at a dentist near Riverview will find the whole drive toll-free.
What's the latest appointment I can get after work?
The office is open until 7:00 PM Monday through Thursday. That gives many commuters time to leave work, drive down I-75 and still make an evening cleaning or checkup. On Friday the office is open from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, so Friday visits are better suited to a morning or a lunch break.
Can you help with jaw pain or TMJ problems?
Yes, our dentists can examine jaw pain and look for causes such as clenching, grinding or a bite problem. Dr. Hanan Beck's residency at the University of Florida included training in TMJ disorders. If grinding plays a role, a custom night guard can protect your teeth, and some complex jaw problems may also need care beyond a dental visit.
Can I pay my dental bill online?
Yes. The practice offers online bill pay, so you can settle a balance from your phone or computer instead of stopping by the office. In person, we accept credit cards, debit cards, cash and personal checks. Larger treatment can also be financed through Cherry, Sunbit or CareCredit, or arranged as a payment plan.
Is accelerated orthodontics right for me?
It depends on your treatment plan. We offer Accelerated Orthodontics with the VPro+ and Excellerator systems, which can be used alongside orthodontic care such as clear aligners. Our dentists look at your bite, your goals and your schedule at a consultation, then tell you whether adding either system makes sense for your case.
