About

Seth McDuffie, DMD PA

Are you tired of arriving on time or even early for your appointment then having to wait well past your appointment time in the waiting room? Are you tired of not getting much, if any, time with the dentist? Are you tired of feeling like you are being herded through the dental office with a group of other patients? If this sounds like your past experiences then Boyette Dental will be the perfect dental office for you.

You will find our reception area to be open and inviting. There are no closed windows with placards telling you to sign in on the clipboard and you will find everyone is happy to see you. Immediately you will notice the relaxed atmosphere and know you have found your new dental home.

Our patients value personalized "VIP" care. They know we see them as more than a set of teeth and we want to help them meet their dental goals. They also know we will see them at their appointed time, if not sooner.

While we do work with traditional insurance, we are not a contracted provider for any managed care (DMO) plans. Because of this we are not forced to run our office like a bus station. You will not find our reception area crowded. This is not because we are not busy. It is because we have chosen to set aside time exclusively for you. We want you to feel confident we are focused entirely on you during your visit.

We are accepting patients with or without insurance and even offer our own in house insurance with financing available. Call us today at (813)741-0483 to talk to a representative.

Services Cosmetic Dentistry
The term Cosmetic Dentistry is often used to refer to the process of using porcelain, crowns and veneers, to create a whole new smile. The goal is to improve the color, shapes and proportions of the patient's teeth. These situations can require most, if not all, of the teeth visible when smiling be treated. This can make a huge difference in someone's appearance.

While these are some of the most rewarding cases in dentistry, we here at Boyette Dental feel every procedure has a cosmetic element. Whether we are doing a filling or a single crown, we want the result to appear natural and beautiful. You don't have to redo your entire smile for us to put the effort into getting things done right.

General Dentistry
The term General Dentistry refers to restoring chipped, broken and decayed teeth to their original healthy state. It is focused more on comfort and function, than aesthetics or looks. However, as mentioned in the Cosmetic Dentistry section, the two are not mutually exclusive. Our family dentistry practice seeks to make General Dentistry procedures beautiful and Cosmetic Dentistry procedures comfortable and functional.

Sedation Dentistry
In Sedation Dentistry, we focus on controlling anxiety for those individuals whose fear prevents them from getting the treatment they desperately need. We aim to help those who deal with pain and an inability to chew properly, but can't bring themselves to get the help they require. Each person has a different level of anxiety, so we offer multiple levels of sedation allowing us to tailor the treatment to your individual situation.

Nitrous Oxide
Also known as laughing gas, this is the lowest level of sedation. It is used to help relax you and take the edge off of your apprehension. The best part of nitrous is how quickly it wears off. You do not need to bring an escort. You can drive yourself home after the appointment.

Oral Sedation
Also known as the Pill, this form of sedation requires you to take a pill prior to arriving in the office. You will also need to bring a pill with you in case you need more relaxation. Obviously you will need someone to bring you to your appointment and to take you home afterwards. You will likely not remember much of what happens during your appointment.

Intravenous Sedation
Also known as IV sedation, this is the deepest and most controlled level of sedation. With IV sedation we have the ability to be very exact with your level of sedation by continuously boosting the medicine delivered through the tubing. This works well for getting several appointments worth of treatment done in one visit. It allows you to make up for years of missed treatment in a very short time. You will remember little, if any, of your appointment. It will require that you bring an escort with you to your appointment.

Questions?
If you have any questions about how these services can work for you, feel free to give us a call at (813)741-0483.

I hate dentist normally but Dr McDuffie has changed my mind. Its not about how quick they get you in and out. They care about the patients. I had no worries about going there after my 1st visit. I go ever 6 months. But never once did my previous dentist tell me I had problems coming. I love his staff they greet as soon as you walk in the door by name. I like that.
