About Smile Design Downtown

Smile Design Downtown is a dental practice on North Franklin Street in the Downtown area of Tampa, Florida. Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.

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.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Smile Design Downtown located in Tampa?
Smile Design Downtown is on North Franklin Street in the Downtown area of Tampa, Florida (33602).
What days is Smile Design Downtown open?
Smile Design Downtown is open Monday through Friday. Contact the practice through this page to confirm current appointment times before travelling.
What services does Smile Design Downtown offer?
Listed services at Smile Design Downtown include Emergency Dentistry. The full list is shown on this page.
Is a dental abscess an emergency?
Yes. An abscess is an infection with a pocket of pus, and the risk is that it spreads into the jaw, neck, or airway. Facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing means it should be treated as urgent rather than something to monitor at home.
Do I need an emergency appointment for a lost filling?
It depends on symptoms. A lost filling with no pain can often wait for a routine appointment, but the exposed tooth is more vulnerable to decay and fracture, so it should not be left indefinitely. Sharp pain or sensitivity to temperature moves it up the list.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

What a terrible first impression!! I messaged to get information on the special they are running for veneers and this is how I was treated when I simply asked if they had an IG account in English! I do not speak Spanish but I AM MEXICAN! Their IG was mostly in Spanish.

I am not a fan of dentists period, so to give them a 5 star that should say it all. They have helped me a lot. 😁

I couldn’t be happier with my results! I had two crowns done due to me chipping my teeth and it looks so natural you would never know it isn’t my real tooth. The attention to detail was amazing, and the entire team was so kind and professional throughout the process. They truly do great work and make you feel comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this practice. The assistants and Dr. Matt have been amazing. I suffer from severe dental anxiety. This week practice understands, is gentle, best dental office I have ever been to and I am 41. Thank you for being comfortable.

I had a great experience with Dr. Munro and his entire team! Dr. Munro is very professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his patients. He took the time to explain everything and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole visit. I also want to give a special thank you to Maite and the rest of the staff for being so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Everyone in the office made the experience smooth and stress-free. You can really tell they care about their patients and work together as an amazing team. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a great dentist and a friendly environment. Definitely one of the best dental experiences I’ve had!

I chose smile design because I was looking for a dentist that was honest and that I trusted. I found more than that when I started going there because my first time Dr. Monroe was so gentle so kind so special. That was a few years ago and I’ve since moved from a close location to him to somewhere where I have to drive in traffic or over half an hour, but I wouldn’t change dentist for anything. And the staff is wonderful so I would give them definitely the best rating there is.

I would like to highly recommend Dr. Munro and his assistant Ashley for the excellent care and service they provided. Dr. Munro made me feel very comfortable from the very beginning. He explained everything calmly and handled the situation in a way that kept me from feeling nervous. He is also very funny, which made me leave the appointment with a big smile on my face again. His professionalism, patience, and sense of humor truly made a big difference in my experience. Ashley was also very kind, attentive, and professional throughout the entire visit. They both make a great team, and I truly appreciate the care I received. I highly recommend them. I wish I could give more ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
