\"\"<\/a>SmileLYNN Pediatric Dentistry has been a part of the SouthShore community since 2018. Over the last eight years, Dr. Casey Lynn\u2019s practice has grown by adding new staff at his location. <\/p>\n

SmileLYNN Pediatric Dentistry has been a part of the SouthShore community since 2018. From the beginning of his business, Dr. Casey Lynn\u2019s goal was to \u201cdo pediatric dentistry,\u202fdifferently,\u201d he said, with a focus on patient and parent experience. <\/p>\n

\u201cI had been working at a number of other offices as an associate while I built the office after residency and saw how many offices worked to see as many patients as they could daily, with a focus on numbers vs. building quality, long-term relationships,\u201d Dr. Lynn said. \u201cI knew\u202fI\u202fwanted to slow down patient\u202fflow,\u202ffocus on prevention vs. drill-and-fill dentistry and make sure patients grew up healthy and actually enjoyed coming to our office.\u201d <\/p>\n

To do this, Dr. Lynn made sure to not overbook his days,\u202fto have longer appointment\u202ftimes and to make the office a safe and relaxing place for\u202fboth kids and parents. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur office provides a calming beach theme with toys, iPads, books and big-screen TVs above every chair. Each child has the ability to watch their favorite show while getting their cleaning done,\u201d Dr. Lynn said. \u201cWe are ultimately focused on the overall experience.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the growth in the SouthShore area, Dr. Lynn\u2019s existing office space came to capacity both space and\u202fdoctor wise. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love the Apollo Beach community and knew I wanted to focus all of my energy and career in the area, as opposed to opening new locations in other areas,\u201d Dr. Lynn said. \u201cI envisioned one large office that could continue to grow to\u202ftake\u202fcare of our community and\u202fwas\u202flucky enough to have the space next door come available. We were lucky enough to recruit Dr. Stewart into the office to help even more children in the area, and he joined us in March of 2025 as our second board-certified pediatric dentist.\u201d <\/p>\n

The new space was finished in August 2025 and now both doctors can work together most days to see even more patients,\u202fwhile still focusing on spending plenty of time with each patient and\u202fparent. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOn top of the additional dental chairs, we expanded the Tampa Tongue Tie Center side by adding more\/larger consult rooms and a dedicated laser room for procedure needs,\u201d Dr. Lynn said. \u201cSo, now we can also continue to help more patients eat,\u202fspeak and sleep better.\u201d <\/p>\n

Along with the expansion of the office space, SmileLYNN Pediatric Dentistry has expanded its \u2018in-network\u2019 insurance options in order to make it easier for patients in the community to utilize their benefits in the easiest way\u202fpossible. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we started, we took minimal insurances, as their reimbursement\u202frates are notoriously low, which means you typically have to see more kids per day, thus sacrificing experience\u202fand time spent in the office,\u201d Dr. Lynn said. \u201cWe were lucky enough to negotiate with companies to ensure a fairer reimbursement.\u201d <\/p>\n
