I love my job. Its a joy to see my patients and their families so happy at the end of treatment, when they have a beautiful and confident smile that will last for a lifetime. I equally love the relationships that develop between my patients and myself. Hearing their stories, and sharing those of my own, creates a bond. I spend my days helping people I care about make positive changes in their lives; what could be better?
As an orthodontist, I see how the care my team and I provide transforms lives. When a person is ashamed of his or her crooked teeth, the person tends to be uncomfortable in social situations, often hiding their smileand trying not to laugh. As patients progress through treatment, and start to see their teeth shifting, each person begins to blossom. They start to engage with others, begin to smile openly, and laugh without concern. Their confidence and self-esteem grows, and they become more secure in who they are.
Orthodontics is a constantly evolving field. The developments in technology and techniques mean more comfortable, efficient, and lasting results for my patients. They trust me to deliver the highest level of care and treatments; my active pursuit of continuing education ensures I am current on new options.
A native Floridian, I grew up in Lakeland and have lived in Tampa for more than 15 years. My wife Nancy is a generaldentist; we have two beautiful daughters, Bailey and Reagan. When Im not caring for my patients, Iusually enjoyquality time with my family. We especially like traveling together. Im also an avid fisherman and love to playgolf.
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
Its a pleasure to meet our patients and families as they begin the orthodontic journey. Seeing a persons excitement to get a new smile, and watching people gain confidence as they start to see the changes in their teeth, is contagious. Of course, the day treatment is finished and they see their beautiful new smile for the first time is the best! I meet with patients and parents, to explainthe orthodontic process. Along with Dr. Goodnight, I review treatment plans and answer questions, so the families can make educated decisions about what works for them.
At Goodnight Orthodontics, you are the star. We place your smile goals, comfort, and unique needs as our top priorities. You will never be viewed as a number on a chart; instead, Dr. Mark Goodnight and our team will get to know you as the wonderful person you are.
Everyone here believes the orthodontic journey should be enjoyed. Youre making a positive, lasting change in your life, and we want you to love the process. Weve created an office thats warm and welcoming, where we celebrate you.
Youll always be greeted by name, and with friendly smiles. In fact, youll see a lot of smiles and hear a lot of laughter during your visits. Thats because our patients love coming to see us, and we love seeing them! Were always sharing stories and trading jokes, and our team members loveto hearthe latest news about a patients life and adventures.
Some people believe that orthodontic care is only appropriate for children or teens. That may be because you most often see younger people wearing braces. But todays technology allows us to move teeth gently through virtually invisible treatments, including clear braces and Invisalign. No matter what a persons age is, he or she can have the confident smile that individual has always wanted, without anyone knowing the person is undergoingtreatment.
Before committing to orthodontic care, its essential for you tounderstand your treatment options, whats involved, and your responsibilities. Its just as essential that you find an orthodontic practice where you like and trust the doctor and team.

Best first visit. Schedule an appointment was very smooth.. Everything who met me were super friendly. I'm a transfer patient and Dr Goodnight's policies are flexible and customer center. They even gave me a reasonable quote. Based on my recent experience, i highly recommend Dr Goodnight's office for your perfect smile.

I went through the whole process of having braces on and they have now been off for several months. They are good and my teeth look great. No problems with the treatment. Just not always a pleasant experience with the orthodontist.

5 of my family members use Goodnight Orthodontics. I like all components of the practice. Very attentive office staff, Program Managers, Hygienists, and Dr Goodnight is friendly, knowledgeable and practical (he doesn't recommend braces for everyone).

I love that you are not just a number here. They treat you with care and consideration. Dr. Goodnight and his staff are personable and take a genuine interest in my kids. I love that he has had the same hygienists, manager and office personnel over the years. That is a testament to how they are treated and that they enjoy the environment in which they work. It's so convenient to have 2 locations to choose from, depending on my kids' schedules.

I just completed my Invisalign treatment to correct my bite and I could not be happier with Goodnight Orthodontics. Dr Goodnight and Kim are great to work with, they go over a comprehensive plan and give you so much detail even before you begin the treatment. They are very accommodating for appointments and honestly I can not think of one thing they can do better! I highly recommend!
