About Tampa Smiles: John L. Redd II, DMD

Based on West Platt Street in the Hyde Park area of Tampa, Florida, Tampa Smiles: John L. Redd II, DMD is a dental practice serving the area. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

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. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

Can a periodontist save a loose tooth?
Sometimes. If the looseness comes from bone loss around the tooth, deep cleaning and periodontal treatment can stabilise it, though the outcome depends on how much support has already been lost.
Do periodontists place dental implants?
Many do, since implant placement sits naturally alongside their training in the gum and bone that support teeth. Whether a specific practice offers it is worth confirming directly.
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.

I have been a patient of Dr Redd for over 15 years so I can speak with authority when I say he is a master at what he does! Whether it’ s Invisalign treatment in my 60s that resulted in making my teeth and smile perfect after having worn braces in my 30s or repairing chipped teeth after my grandson hit me in the mouth with an 8 iron or just a crown he always exceed my high expectations! He is a high energy guy that exudes confidence and is fun to interact with.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Redd for 25 years. He has been especially patient catering to my “fears”. Dr. Redd is an excellent choice whether for a checkup or a crown.You won’t find a more attentive and thoughtful dentist and staff.

Dr. Redd and his team are the absolute best! I was referred to them 12 years ago when I moved to Tampa and have had wonderful experiences on all of my visits. Dr Redd and his team are warm, attentive, thorough, and if you’re lucky enough to be there when Tito (🐶) is “making the rounds” it’s icing on the cake!

I’ve been Dr Redd’s patient for more than 25 years. He and his team provide outstanding dental care with the latest technology in a first class office. Most important to me, Dr Redd is always there in an emergency situation with his personal care.

Dr. Redd fit me in for an emergency dental visit after developing lockjaw over the weekend. He spent 15-20 minutes with me, giving me a thorough explanation of what I was experiencing, when I was likely to get relief, and offering ways to help relieve the pain in the interim. The front desk staff was amazing and incredibly helpful, despite them being short-staffed that day and dealing with an office facility issue. Although I am not a patient, my interaction with this office, Dr. Redd, and the staff was top-notch. They recognized my distress, addressed it, and offered kindness and empathy despite not getting that from my own dental office.

Dr. Redd and his entire team are incredible. Denise and Vanessa are rock stars, and the dental hygienists are always lovely and kind. Dr. Redd provides exceptional patient care — I truly appreciate them all. The practice is both professional and efficient. They use advanced technology for crowns, work quickly, and communicate clearly throughout treatment. I especially value that Dr. Redd focuses on preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible and personally follows up after procedures to ensure comfort. At 50 years old, I’ve had my share of dental issues, and Dr. Redd has handled every situation thoughtfully and effectively. He is honest, kind, and caring, while also working with impressive speed and precision. His follow-up and responsiveness are outstanding. This is the best dental practice in the Tampa Bay area.
