It’s been a busy and meaningful few months here at Creating Smiles Dental! From a life-changing mission trip to Peru to celebrating our patients’ generosity, an exciting nomination, and a can’t-miss offer on same-day crowns, we have a lot to share with our St. Petersburg family.
Dr. Brayer & Family Created Smiles in Peru
This past summer, Dr. Brayer and her family traded their St. Petersburg routine for a dental and medical mission trip to Peru, bringing much-needed care directly to communities that don’t have easy access to it.
Together, they traveled to several cities across Peru, setting up care where it was needed most. Dr. Brayer’s husband, a medical doctor, worked right alongside her, and even their children pitched in to volunteer with the local communities. It truly was a family affair and one that made a real difference for the people they met along the way.
And yes, in between the volunteering, the Brayer family also hiked the Inca Trail! It was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to match a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip.
The best part? This isn’t a one-time thing. The family has already committed to returning next summer to continue serving the communities of Peru. We can’t wait to share more updates as that trip comes together.
Recap on Our 1st Creating Smiles Day

Thanks to you, we donated 190 meals to the Homeless Empowerment Program (HEP)!
On our very first Creating Smiles Day, every patient who said YES to their dream smile helped make an impact that reached far beyond their own smile. For every yes we heard that day, we donated 10 meals to HEP, an organization we’re proud to volunteer with regularly.
It was incredibly rewarding to watch patients light up with confidence as they chose to finally prioritize themselves and invest in their smiles, knowing that same decision was also helping feed our neighbors in need. We were honored to hand-deliver the check to HEP ourselves, and it meant so much to be able to give both our time and our money because of you.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make our first Creating Smiles Day such a success. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
We’ve Been Nominated for Best Dentist in Tampa Bay!
We’re honored to be nominated again this year in the local Best of the Bay contest! Last year, your votes helped us make it to the finals, and we’d love nothing more than to be finalists again or, even better, to take home the title of Best Dentist in Tampa Bay.
Voting is open daily through August 30th, so every single vote counts.
Announcing: No Rush Fee Through September!
Celebrating 3 Years of Same-Day Crowns
This year marks the 3rd anniversary of having our Glidewell fastmill.io right here in our St. Petersburg office, creating name-brand BruxZir crowns for our patients.
That means high-quality crowns, designed and milled right here in our office, with the convenience of same-day service for patients who need or want their crown completed in a single visit.
To celebrate, we’re waiving the rush fee on same-day crowns through the end of September! If you need a crown and want the convenience of having it made and delivered in one day, now is the perfect time to experience our Same-Day VIP Crown Service.
No need for a temporary crown or another day off work. If you’re traveling or visiting family in St. Petersburg, this offer gives you real peace of mind: get your permanent crown taken care of while you’re here, then head home as if nothing happened. We’ve helped plenty of out-of-town guests do exactly that, and they love how easy it is.
Three years ago, we brought same-day crown technology to Creating Smiles Dental, and we’re still just as excited about what it means for our patients today.
No waiting weeks for a permanent crown. No temporary crown. No second appointment just to finish the job. Just advanced technology, a beautifully crafted crown, and a smile that gets you back to your life, all in one visit.
Ready for Your Same-Day Crown Consultation?
If you’ve been putting off a crown, or you’re simply curious whether a same-day crown is right for you, reply to this email or give us a call to schedule your consultation. A crown is just one way we save and protect a tooth, so reach out for a consultation or exam to see if you qualify for our no-rush-fee offer before it ends in September.
Let’s Keep Creating Smiles Together
From volunteering in Peru to feeding our neighbors here at home to celebrating three years of same-day crowns, this has been a season we’re proud of, and we couldn’t have done any of it without our amazing patients and community.
