Dr. Laura Goodwin earned her Bachelors of Science in Health & Exercise Science from Furman University, where she played Division I Tennis and became an All-American her senior year. She then went on to the University of Florida College of Dentistry where she graduated in the top 10% of her class in 2013. After graduating, Dr. Goodwin completed a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency at the Bay Pines VA Hospital in St. Petersburg, FL.
Dr. Goodwin practices preventative and comprehensive dentistry by focusing on the oral needs of her patients as a whole, not just their teeth. The mouth serves as a window to the rest of the body, which means oral conditions have a large impact on overall health. Dr. Goodwin loves helping her patients to achieve optimal oral health and function on a daily basis through education and addressing issues before they escalate.
Dr. Goodwin stays active in organized dentistry by being a member of the Academy of General Dentistry, Upper Pinellas County Dental Association, West Coast District Dental Association, Florida Dental Association and American Dental Association. Dr. Goodwin is also a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. She is a strong believer in lifelong education and enjoys furthering her knowledge base by staying up to date with the latest procedures and technologies. She has taken advanced trainings in implant dentistry, CEREC technology, esthetic and cosmetic dentistry, and clear aligner orthodontic therapy.
Over the years, Dr. Goodwin has volunteered and given back to those who cannot access or afford dental care through Mission of Mercy, child sealant programs, mission trip to the Dominican Republic and working on mobile dental units that travel throughout the state of Florida.
Dr. Goodwin lives in Tampa with her husband, Justin, and their dog, Cooper. She loves to play tennis, vacation in Lake George, NY, and spend time with her family and friends in the beautiful, sunny Tampa Bay weather.

Let me start by saying that I had an extremely Positive experience with everyone here!!! In the past, at other dentists, I have had extremely horrible experiences. One in particularly left we actually quite nervous to go to any dentist at all. But if you want healthy teeth, you go to the dentist. My experience with Expressions Dental has been the most pleasant experience I have had with a dentist since my traumatizing experience years ago. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have restored my faith that there are caring good people out there in the dentistry field. Looking forward to my next check up!!!

I had a Monday morning dental emergency and was seen by Dr McCaslin right away. She took her time, x-ray, no hurry. All fixed! Her charges were 1/3 what I had expected.

Another phenomenal experience at Expressions Family Dentistry! My dental hygienist Kara is the best!! If you're looking for a better experience when you go to the dentist office, give Expressions Family Dentistry a call. Their office is next to East Lake High School in Tarpon Springs.
