A Hometown Dentist for Dover Families
Dr. Williams was born and raised here, finished high school in Plant City and later came back to eastern Hillsborough County to practice. For patients from the area, that means a dentist who knows the community firsthand.
The community sits in the heart of the Plant City-Dover strawberry belt, where more than 10,000 acres of winter berries are grown each season. The Florida Strawberry Growers Association is even based here. State Road 574 (MLK Blvd) is the community's main road west toward Brandon.
The community is also one of the youngest in the region. Its median age sits just under 30, and close to half of local households are raising children. Dover Elementary and Bailey Elementary serve the youngest students, while Strawberry Crest High School, which opened in 2009 on Gallagher Road, gave Dover-area teens a high school of their own and honors the growers in its name.
With so many households raising children, family care matters here. Grandparents may need a worn crown replaced or a missing tooth restored, while their grandchildren need cleanings, sealants and a watchful eye on how their bite develops. One office, one dentist and one set of records makes that easier to manage.
Everyday Dental Health in Dover
Busy households tend to postpone their own checkups. A cleaning every six months, or on whatever schedule Dr. Williams recommends after your exam, helps catch decay and gum problems while they are small. Short, regular visits are far easier to fit into a packed season than an emergency appointment for a tooth that finally gives out.
Outdoor work and long drives also make it tempting to sip sweet tea, soda or sports drinks all day. Frequent sugary sips feed the bacteria that cause cavities, so water between meals is one of the simplest ways to protect your teeth. Our hygienists can point out the spots where plaque is collecting and suggest small changes that fit your routine.
For older residents, the most common concerns are cracked teeth, failing fillings and gaps from teeth lost years ago. Crowns, bridges and implant restorations can bring back a comfortable bite. Dr. Williams talks through every option before any work begins, so you can decide what fits your budget and your goals.
The office keeps hours that suit early risers: 8 AM to 4 PM on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and 10 AM to 4 PM on Wednesday. The office is closed on Fridays. An early slot lets many patients finish before the workday gets going.
What a Dentist Near Dover Can Do for Your Family
Comprehensive Dentistry
A full evaluation of teeth, gums, bite and jaw gives you one clear treatment plan. It is a good starting point for anyone who has not seen a dentist in a while.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges rebuild teeth damaged by decay or years of wear. With the in-house mill, many patients get same-day crowns instead of waiting on a lab.
Dental Implants
Implants replace missing teeth with a stable, natural-looking result. CBCT 3D imaging helps Dr. Williams plan each case around the available bone.
Preventative Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, fluoride and sealants keep young patients ahead of cavities. Adults benefit just as much from routine screenings.
Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, a careful extraction protects the healthy teeth around it. Dr. Williams can then discuss options for filling the gap.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Williams Family and Cosmetic Dentistry from Dover, and how do I get there?
From Dover Elementary, our office is 8.6 miles away, about a 17-minute drive. The route runs west on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (SR 574), then south on South Parsons Avenue to Oakfield Drive and Vonderburg Drive. It is an easy choice for a dentist near Dover because the drive skips the interstate entirely.
Is Dr. Williams originally from Dover?
Yes, Dr. Trevor Williams was born and raised in Dover and graduated from Plant City High School. He studied biomedical sciences and earned a master's in microbiology at USF, then completed his DMD at the University of Florida. He bought the Brandon practice in June 2020 and is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry.
Do you accept PPO plans like Delta Dental or MetLife?
Yes, the office accepts PPO dental plans, including Delta Dental and MetLife, but not HMO plans. Our team submits the claim to your insurer after treatment, and your co-pay is collected at the visit. If you are unsure whether your plan is a PPO, the front desk can review your card before your first appointment.
Can I get a dental crown finished in one appointment?
Often, yes. The office uses digital scanning and an in-house milling system to make same-day crowns, so many patients leave with their permanent crown the same day instead of wearing a temporary. Whether your tooth is a good fit for a single-visit crown depends on the exam and x-rays.
Is the dental implant consultation free?
Yes, new patients receive a free dental implant consultation. During the visit, Dr. Williams examines the area, reviews imaging and explains whether an implant, a bridge or a partial would suit your mouth best. CBCT 3D imaging lets him check the bone before recommending anything, and he walks you through each step of the process.
