About Advanced Dental Associates of Tampa Palms

Advanced Dental Associates of Tampa Palms operates on Amberly Drive in the Tampa Palms area of Tampa, Florida. Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Usually not. Most dental sedation leaves you conscious but deeply relaxed, often with little memory of the procedure afterward. General anaesthesia, where you are fully unconscious, is reserved for specific circumstances.
What happens during a routine dental examination?
The dentist checks the teeth for decay, examines the gums, looks at any existing fillings and crowns, and screens the soft tissues. X-rays are taken when there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth.

I am so incredibly happy with Dr. Justin and his team. They did an incredible job taking care of me. I live in Peru South America and I had to have a lot of work done, which was my choice before I went in for no surgery the very next day they got my cleaning done made the crowns and the bridges. I got three crowns one bridge and all that stuff was taken care of very very light soreness that day gave me the right amount of medicine that I needed. They also gave me a nice set of headphones that we were able to listen to and I highly recommend them. My mouth feels like it was. I’m in the 20s

I had an excellent experience at Advanced Dental Associates. From the moment I called, Eva at the front desk was incredibly professional and accommodating. She was able to fit me into the schedule for an emergency appointment, which I truly appreciated. Once I arrived, April, the dental assistant, was very pleasant and took the time to explain all my options in detail, helping me feel comfortable and informed. Dr. Holcombe was outstanding. He thoroughly reviewed my situation, offered clear treatment options, and provided a solid plan to help me move forward with my dental care. I highly recommend this dental office. The entire staff is knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated, and I’m looking forward to trusting them with my oral health needs going forward.
