Pediatric Dentistry
Two offices, one that is actually yours
Pediatric Dentistry of Florida runs two offices in Southwest Florida, one in Fort Myers and one in Naples, and it is natural for a Bonita Springs parent to wonder which one applies to them. The answer is not about distance. Bonita Springs is part of Lee County, and Lee County families are cared for at the Fort Myers office, 8016 Summerlin Lakes Dr, Fort Myers, FL 33907, just off Summerlin Road.
If you have ever searched for both locations and come away unsure which is meant for you, that is exactly why we do not lead with distance here. Call and tell the front desk you are in Bonita Springs, and they will confirm the Fort Myers office is yours and take it from there.
What staying with one office means long term
Sticking with one assigned office matters more once your child is past their first few visits. Your pediatric dentist's team builds a record of your child's history over time, which orthodontic questions benefit from most: comprehensive orthodontic care with Dr. Whitesides is offered at the Fort Myers office, so if braces ever enter the picture, that conversation starts with people who already have years of context rather than a referral to somewhere new.
None of that requires planning ahead on your part. It is simply what tends to happen naturally when a family keeps returning to one office instead of splitting visits between two.
Booking is one quick call.
One number reaches both offices, Monday to Friday 8 to 5. Your child's health details stay in a conversation with our front desk, never typed into a website.
If your family's situation is not the usual one
Some Bonita Springs families have a reason to ask about the Naples office anyway: a job that runs through Naples, another child already seen there, or a move in progress. Say so when you call. Our front desk can talk through the specifics of your situation rather than applying the general Lee County rule automatically, and there may be flexibility depending on what you need.
For most families, though, there is nothing to weigh. Fort Myers is the office, one phone call sets the appointment, and new patient forms arrive ahead of time so you are not filling anything out in the lobby.
Making the call
Booking is by phone on purpose: your child's health details stay in a conversation with our front desk, never typed into a website. One number reaches both offices, (239) 482-2722, Monday to Friday, 8 to 5, and a real human answers.
Once you know Fort Myers is your office, our Fort Myers office page fills in the rest: the building, the team, and what a visit there actually looks like. For a look at care as your child grows, orthodontics included, see orthodontics.
Parents ask us
Can we choose the Naples office instead if it works better for us?
Ask when you call. County lines are the general rule, but our front desk can talk through specific situations, like a job or a sibling already seen at the other office, and let you know what is possible for your family.
Does it matter which office we start at for later orthodontic care?
Comprehensive orthodontic care is offered at the Fort Myers office, so a family already established there has an easier handoff if braces come up later. It is one more reason most Lee County families, Bonita Springs included, stay with the Fort Myers office throughout.
What should I say when I call to book?
Just say you are in Bonita Springs and this would be a new patient. The front desk will confirm the Fort Myers office, schedule the visit, and get your paperwork moving so it is ready before you arrive.
Ready to set sail?
A real human answers, Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm. New patient forms arrive ahead of time, no clipboard scramble.
