Nothing matters more to us than the health and safety of our patients. To protect both you and our team, weve implemented the following steps into our dental offices protocols. If you have questions about how were making your visit a safe experience, feel free to reach out to us.
One of the most important yet overlooked aspects of dental care is making sure that you have access to it when you need it. Happy Smiles has two locations for you to choose from: one in Clearwater and one in Tampa. Both of our dental offices are strategically located so that families in the area can easily get to them during an emergency. In addition, weve made sure to create a dental office environment that you can feel at home in during your visit.
Dr. Mamata Ponnaganti has been practicing in Florida ever since her graduation in 1999. Over the course of the two decades that have made up her career, she has remained committed to excellence and providing high quality dental services to all of her patients. She uses the latest dentistry techniques to treat a wide variety of complex dental issues, and she will always take the time to keep you fully informed about your dental health.
Of all the dental problems you could experience, losing a tooth even if its just one can be one of the most devastating by far. A healthy smile requires a full set of teeth to function properly; any gaps that arise need to be dealt with as soon as possible. Fortunately, with our knowledgeable team and our wide variety of services, we are well-versed in helping patients restore their smiles no matter what kind of damage they might have suffered.
Our commitment to patient health and safety has only gotten stronger with recent events. The COVID-19 pandemic has reaffirmed the importance of taking precautions against the spread of infection. We have updated our dental offices safety protocol to reflect current realities, and were prepared to make any further changes that are deemed necessary to keep the risk to an absolute minimum. Click the link below to learn about some of the recent changes weve made.
No one should have to miss out on a lifetime of healthy smiles due to financial issues. We have carefully thought through the fees weve set in order to ensure that theyre as fair as possible for both us and our patients. Naturally, we also accept a wide variety of dental plans so that our patients can save on their care as much as possible. Get in touch with us to check whether we accept the plan and confirm the details of the benefits that you can expect.
Dr. Ponnaganti grew up in a family filled to the brim with multi-specialty doctors, which led to her developing a strong passion for the healthcare industry. She eventually decided to pursue dentistry as a lifelong career because she liked the hands-on nature of the work and the sense of gratification that came from improving teeth. She also liked the work hours because it would allow her to devote plenty of time to family and raising her children. 20 years later, she still feels very confident that she made the right choice!
Dr. Ponnaganti is happily married to a loving husband who works as a chemical engineer and is very supportive of her career. She has a grown son who is in his final year of medical school and a daughter who also wants to be a doctor one day! The last member of their family is an extremely friendly and playful German Shephard.
As for personal hobbies, Dr. Ponnaganti enjoys cooking and gardening. She also has a big passion for participating in community service like soup kitchens and highway/beach cleanups. She does her best to participate in 4 to 5 dental camps a year for underserved/homeless populations and also a yearly eye/podiatry camp to assist her neighbors. So far, shes kept this up for 15 years and counting!
Yadira studied dental hygiene at Virginia Community College, and shes been working tirelessly in this field for over five years now. She loves being able to help patients not only achieve better oral health, but also maintain it through education she provides! Away from work, she spends plenty of time with her significant other and three children two boys and a girl. Her favorite hobbies include dancing, listening to music, traveling, going to the beach, trying different types of food, and baking.

Dr. P and her staff are the best! I was terrified of going to the dentist and didn't have dental insurance, so I put it off as long as I could. Dr P has made every experience comfortable and, most importantly, pain-free. She is the best dentist I've ever been to. And her staff is just as excellent! Sweet, caring and thorough are adjectives I'd used to describe everyone in this practice!

I have had two appointsments at Happy Smiles. The first appointment, I met the dentist, Dr. Ponnaganti for an exam. She is very profesional & thorough. My second appointment was my cleaning. The cleaning was one of the best thorough cleanings Ive ever had at a dentist office. I am very pleased with this dental office.

Quick and easy. Maybe a bit informal, but that's not a bad thing. Most dentists are run like a government organization; Happy Smiles is down to earth.

The front desk and staff made me feel very comfortable, I felt like I have been going there for years and I only had two visits. I was very nervous because it had been a while outside of just normal cleaning that I had to do extensive dental work. They made me feel very comfortable, they even allowed me to listen to my meditation music to focus...lol.... I had a great experience with Happy Smiles Tampa... I'm so glad I finally found a Dentist that I feel comfortable with and that is close by my home. Thank you for the great experience and I will see you soon for my next visit
