Why Choose Modern Day Smiles?
When you start researching dental implants in St. Petersburg, the first names that come up are often national chains. They have big advertising budgets, polished websites, and locations across the country. They are easy to find. But being easy to find and being the right choice are two different things.
At Modern Day Smiles, we are a locally owned practice in St. Petersburg that has earned 248 five-star Google reviews from real patients in our community. We are not a franchise. We are not a corporate chain. And for the patients who choose us, that difference matters
The Corporate Implant Center Experience
National chain implant centers follow a model that prioritizes volume. Here is what that typically looks like for patients:
- You see a different doctor at each visit. The dentist who does your consultation may not be the one who places your implants, and the one who places your implants may not be the one who does your follow-up care.
- Doctors rotate between locations. Chain centers often move doctors between cities and offices. The provider you meet today may be transferred next month.
- Treatment plans follow a corporate template. Pricing, treatment options, and clinical decisions are often guided by corporate protocols rather than individualized patient needs.
- The sales process is high-pressure. Many chain centers use treatment coordinators trained in closing techniques. The goal is to get you to sign a financial agreement during your first visit.
This model works for the corporation. It does not always work for the patient.
How Modern Day Smiles Is Different
One Doctor, Start to Finish
When you come to Modern Day Smiles for dental implants, the doctor who meets you at your consultation is the same doctor who places your implants, the same doctor who checks on your healing, and the same doctor who delivers your final teeth. There is no handoff. There is no rotation. There is continuity of care from the first appointment to the last.
This matters because dental implant treatment is not a one-visit procedure. It is a relationship that spans months. Your doctor needs to know your anatomy, your health history, your concerns, and your goals — and that knowledge comes from being there every step of the way.
A Doctor Who Lives in Your Community
Our doctor is not flown in from another state. They live in the Tampa Bay area, practice in St. Petersburg, and are part of this community. When you see them at a local restaurant or at a community event, they know your name. That kind of relationship does not exist at a corporate implant center.
Our 248 Google reviews reflect this. Patients do not write five-star reviews about a building or a brand. They write them about the person who changed their life — and they come back to say thank you because they know exactly where to find them.
Transparent, All-Inclusive Pricing
At Modern Day Smiles, our Full Arch pricing is straightforward:
• PMMA Full Arch: as low as $12,995 per arch
• Zirconia Full Arch: as low as $14,995 per arch
That includes implants, extractions, bone grafting, CT scan, temporary teeth, final prosthesis, and follow-up appointments. No hidden fees. No surprise charges after you commit.
National chains frequently advertise a starting price that does not include everything. Extractions, bone grafting, and the final prosthesis are sometimes billed separately, pushing the actual cost well above the number you saw in the ad.

No High-Pressure Sales
We do not employ treatment coordinators whose job is to close deals. Our team is clinical, not corporate. During your consultation, we explain your options, answer your questions, and give you a treatment plan with clear pricing. Then we give you time to think about it.
Many of our patients tell us they chose Modern Day Smiles specifically because we did not pressure them. After visiting chain centers where they felt rushed or pushed, our approach was a welcome change.
What to expect for consultation at Modern Day Smiles St.Petersburg
What Our Patients Say
The reviews speak for themselves, but here are a few examples of what St. Petersburg patients experience at Modern Day Smiles:
Lori Rose came to us after years of dental anxiety and failing teeth. She described the experience as life-changing — not just because of the result, but because of how she was treated throughout the process. No judgment. No pressure. Just care.
Leno had been living with dental problems that affected his confidence and his ability to eat comfortably. After his Full Arch procedure at Modern Day Smiles, he said it felt like getting his life back. He became one of our most vocal advocates, encouraging others in similar situations to take the step.
Terri was nervous about the procedure and had visited multiple practices before choosing Modern Day Smiles. What made the difference was the personal attention and the feeling that the team genuinely cared about her outcome, not just the transaction.

These are real patients with real stories. They are not actors. They are not stock photos. They are members of the St. Petersburg community who trusted us with their care.
248+ Reviews and Counting
With 248 Google reviews at a 4.8-star rating, Modern Day Smiles has one of the highest-rated dental implant practices in Pinellas County. These reviews are earned one patient at a time through honest care, transparent pricing, and clinical excellence.
We encourage every prospective patient to read our reviews before their consultation. The consistent themes you will find are: the doctor was attentive, the team was caring, the pricing was honest, and the result exceeded expectations
The Right Choice for St. Petersburg Patients
Choosing where to get dental implants is a significant decision. You are trusting someone with your health, your appearance, and a meaningful financial investment. National chains offer convenience and name recognition. But when it comes to something this personal, most patients want more than that.
They want a doctor who knows their name. A team that answers the phone when they have a question. A practice that will still be in the same location, with the same doctor, five years from now.

That is Modern Day Smiles.
