McIlwain Dental Specialists is a pediatric dentist in Tampa, Florida. It is listed at 302 N Howard Ave, Tampa, FL 33606, which places it among the local businesses of Tampa that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as cosmetic dentist, dental clinic, dental implants provider, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Dental care in the United States is delivered mostly by private practices: a general or family dentist who handles exams, cleanings, fillings and crowns, and refers out anything that needs a specialist. Group practices and dental clinics put several dentists, hygienists and sometimes specialists under one roof, often with evening and Saturday hours. Most offices ask new patients for a comprehensive exam with X-rays before routine cleanings, which the American Dental Association recommends every six months. Prices are set by each practice, and most accept dental insurance (PPO plans more widely than HMO ones), CareCredit-style financing or an in-house membership plan for people without coverage. Emergency dental services take same-day patients for toothaches, broken teeth and abscesses, usually at a premium.
