Playa Family Dentistry

4.9(844)·8.0 km from Tampa Downtown
75Smyleee

Suite 702, 4340, West Hillsborough Avenue, Drew Park, Tampa, Florida

Closed · Opens Monday at 8 AM

Documented for pediatric dentistry in Tampa, with affordable dental care on the service list and 27 procedures on file.

Read full description

Playa Family Dentistry is at suite 702, 4340 West Hillsborough Avenue in Tampa's Carrollwood community — a location on the West Hillsborough Avenue corridor in northwest Tampa, accessible from the surrounding Carrollwood, Town N Country, and Northdale residential communities. Carrollwood is one of Tampa's most established suburban neighbourhoods, characterised by long-term homeownership, suburban family demographics, and the concentration of professional and healthcare employment along the Dale Mabry Highway corridor.

Endodontics in-house alongside dental implants, sedation dentistry, and emergency dentistry provides the Carrollwood patient population with a general dental practice capable of managing the acute, restorative, and surgical needs that most Tampa general practices would refer to specialists. Endodontic capability at the West Hillsborough Avenue address covers root canal treatment within the established patient relationship, avoiding the separate specialist appointment that many Carrollwood patients would otherwise need to schedule across the Tampa metro area.

Dental sealants for paediatric preventive care and children's dentistry are listed alongside adult general and family dental services. In Carrollwood's family-oriented suburban demographic, paediatric dental care within the same practice as adult care creates the household dental convenience of a single practice relationship rather than separate providers at different locations. Sedation dentistry covers the anxiety management needs of children and adults who cannot tolerate standard dental appointments comfortably.

Gum disease treatment and periodontal care cover the periodontal management range. Dental implants and dentures provide the prosthetic replacement options. Dental crowns, bridges, and fillings address the restorative maintenance range. Mouth guards for bruxism prevention cover the functional protective need. Emergency dentistry handles the acute presentations in the Carrollwood and west Tampa community.

For Carrollwood, Town N Country, and Northdale patients on West Hillsborough Avenue who want a family dental practice with endodontics, sedation, and implants in the northwest Tampa community, Playa Family Dentistry's suite 702 at 4340 West Hillsborough Avenue provides that combination.

How to Choose a Dentist in Tampa

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed

Affordable dental care in Tampa serves a patient community defined by the city's most distinctive demographic feature — the concentration of active duty, reserve, and retired military personnel and their families connected to MacDill Air Force Base, home to both US Central Command and US Special Operations Command and one of the most operationally significant military installations in the United States. The Tricare dental program provides the primary dental coverage pathway for MacDill's active duty dependents and for the substantial veteran and retiree community that Tampa's military character sustains. Beyond the military community, Tampa's working-class Hispanic population in the East Tampa and Ybor City corridors, the African-American community in West Tampa, and the broad working-class service economy that the port city supports create a diverse affordable dental care demand that the Tricare and self-pay affordable dental market serves simultaneously.

Smyleee evaluated Tampa affordable dental care providers on Tricare and commercial insurance billing capability for the MacDill military community, Spanish-language team capability for the East Tampa Hispanic patient, Florida Medicaid billing where available, self-pay fee transparency, geographic distribution across the Hillsborough County footprint, and clinical quality consistency across preventive and basic restorative care. These ten Tampa practices are the affordable dental providers the data confirmed as most reliably serving the full military-civilian patient community of the Gulf Coast's largest dental market.
