My Smile Dentistry, Sarasota

A woman reclines on soft upholstery as she gazes through a sun-soaked window at the glittering Hudson Bayou. Her favorite music wafts through the air as she adjusts her chair into a more comfortable position. She tilts her head back and opens her mouth wide for the trained hands of Dr. Kristina Russell. Ensconced within a vibrant, fully renovated cottage, My Smile Dentistry's four treatments rooms combine modern dental equipment with welcome amenities such as personalized music and flat-screen TVs. The board-certified dentist takes a gentle approach to bolstering oral health, performing services that range from root canals and dental implants to teeth whitening and veneers. The office's colorful walkway leads patients to a waiting area bedecked with everything one would find in a well-furnished living room—hardwood floors, a fireplace, and a mother inquiring about the state of patients' homework.

My Smile Dentistry is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
