Welcome To Florida Smile Design. You Have Come To The Right Place!


Our dedicated and compassionate team cares for patients from Parrish, FL, and the surrounding communities of Ellenton, Palmetto, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Tampa, Saint Petersburg, and Sarasota and beyond.

From Prevention and Simple Fixes to Smile Makeovers and Full Dental Rehabilitations, the team at Florida Smile Design treats you like family.

Because we are a doctor-owned Private Practice and not one of the many corporate owned clinics that have popped up on every street corner, we have the freedom and common sense to provide exceptional individualized care.

  • We see one patient at a time.  We take our time to understand your needs and concerns regarding dental treatment.  Our goal is to make it obvious you have found your dental home.

  • When providing treatment, we have several options from which you can choose to make you the most comfortable.  From the simple comfort of a nice pillow or blanket to no additional charge nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or sedation, our team loves to make patients welcome and comforted.

  • Unfortunately, many patients we see have for years put off their dental needs due to fears or past unpleasant experiences.  Recognizing that, we work hard to make our office a stress-free zone.  No Judgement, No Lectures, Just Help!

Whether it’s through continual dental education, hand picking the area’s best dental specialists and labs, or providing precise treatment with the most modern technology, we have all of the expertise right here in one place close to home for all of your dental needs.

We can’t wait to see you!  -  Dr. Schnur

Getting to know you

At your first appointment, we will spend time with you to find your concerns and learn from you how we can best help you.  From there you can choose from two general types of examinations.  

The most common is similar to what most people are used to.  It is a standard dental health exam that is designed to address any immediate needs such as decay, infection, broken teeth or gum disease.  This type of exam is done to address an initial problem a patient may be having with one or two teeth, to check for any other problems or as an initial baseline exam for routine maintenance.

For patients that want a more thorough evaluation and consultation to address concerns related to esthetics, excessive wear, replacing many teeth, or who are interested in a proactive plan for dental health for the long term, we also offer a specialized exam that is uncommon to find in other offices. It is a very comprehensive exam that gives the patient a complete overview of everything related to their mouth in four main areas. Appearance, Teeth, Gums/Bone and Bite/Function. After giving a complete review of findings and the implications of those findings to the patient, we get feedback from the patient as to which of those findings the patient feels is most important to prioritize. We then develop a plan or options for treatment that specifically address the patient's interests. It is a dental version of an "Executive" or "Mayo Clinic" type of head to toe medical exam that allows you to put our decades of experience and expertise to work for you!

I needed a consultation done on my dentures and gums. Since I am new to the area and i drive past this office I decided I would stop there, I am so glad that I did.They were extremely helpful and professional. They gave me some adjustments to my dentures and some very good advice, Hope to return very soon for follow up.–John D. This review was posted on Google

Dr. Schnur and his staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Erin the hygienist is awesome. Unlike others in the area they are not trying to up-sell you every time you visit. Very fair pricing for top notch work. I have been going for years and will continue.–Anna A. This review was posted on Google

Such a friendly place. They worked to get me in quickly. Dr. Schnur was sensitive to my anxiety and put me at ease. Support staff super friendly. Going back to put together a game plan for fixing my teeth. I'll let you know how that goes.–Elizabeth S. This review was posted on Google
