Founder, Siesta Village Dentistry
From preventive care to full-mouth reconstruction, Dr. Ta offers the full spectrum of advanced dental treatments — all on Siesta Key, just minutes from downtown Sarasota.
The only FDA-cleared, scientifically proven laser treatment resulting in true periodontal regeneration, new bone growth, and gum reattachment. No scalpel. No sutures. Dramatically faster recovery than traditional gum surgery — using the Periolase MVP-7 laser.
Learn About LANAP →The gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Implants act as permanent artificial roots, supporting crowns, bridges, or full arches. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth — and can last a lifetime. Dr. Ta is certified in both the surgical and prosthetic phases.
Explore Dental Implants →Replace a full arch of teeth — top or bottom — with just four strategically placed implants. A permanent, non-removable solution that looks and functions like natural teeth. Many patients leave with functional teeth the same day as surgery.
Learn About All-on-4 →Virtually invisible clear aligners that straighten teeth faster and with fewer office visits than traditional braces. Removable, comfortable, and discreet — an effective solution for teens and adults with crowding, spacing, or bite issues.
Explore Invisalign →Therapeutic BOTOX® injections relax the overactive jaw muscles causing jaw pain, clicking, grinding, and chronic headaches — providing significant relief without surgery. Dr. Ta is trained in targeted Botox and trigger point injections specifically for TMJ disorders.
Learn About Botox for TMJ →Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to accelerate healing after implants, extractions, and LANAP procedures. Reduces recovery time and promotes better healing outcomes with a completely natural approach.
Learn About PRP →A premium, custom-fitted oral appliance for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Comfortable and travel-friendly — no CPAP machine required. Gently repositions the jaw to keep your airway open, improving sleep quality for you and your partner.
Explore Sleep Apnea Treatment →Ultra-thin porcelain shells placed on the front surface of your teeth to correct staining, chips, gaps, and unevenness — in as few as two visits. Dr. Ta uses Digital Smile Design technology so you can preview your transformed smile before any work begins.
Explore Veneers →Natural-looking composite resin fillings restore teeth damaged by cavities or decay. Unlike old silver amalgam fillings, they bond directly to your tooth, require less removal of healthy enamel, and blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Learn More →Dr. Ta invested in the most advanced dental technology available — ensuring precision, comfort, and the best possible results for every patient.
The world's only FDA-cleared laser for true periodontal regeneration. Used exclusively for LANAP gum surgery — the most effective non-surgical gum disease treatment available.
Produces 3D images of teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan. Essential for accurate implant planning and complex diagnosis.
Preview your transformed smile before any procedure begins — so there are no surprises, only results you've already approved.
No messy impressions. We digitally scan your teeth for precise, comfortable records used in crown, implant, and aligner fabrication.
Cuts only bone — never soft tissue. Dramatically reduces risk of nerve, artery, or gum damage during surgical procedures.
Ultrasonic scaling replaces traditional hand tools for more thorough plaque and tartar removal with greater patient comfort.
When it comes to your oral health, the dentist you choose makes a difference that goes far beyond a routine cleaning. A truly great Sarasota dentist isn't just someone who fills cavities and checks your gums twice a year — they are a long-term health partner who brings advanced expertise, modern technology, and a genuine investment in your wellbeing to every single appointment.
For residents throughout Sarasota, Siesta Key, Lakewood Ranch, Palmer Ranch, and the surrounding communities, Siesta Village Dentistry has become one of the most trusted names in comprehensive dental care on Florida's Gulf Coast. Led by Dr. My-Huong Ta, DDS, the practice combines 30+ years of clinical excellence with a warm, patient-first philosophy that has made it a destination for patients seeking everything from a routine cleaning to full-mouth reconstruction.
Sarasota is home to many dental practices, but not all of them offer the same depth of training, breadth of services, or quality of technology. When evaluating a Sarasota dentist, there are several factors worth considering.
Clinical credentials and advanced training. A general dental degree is the baseline — what matters is what a dentist has pursued beyond it. Dr. Ta earned her DDS from SUNY Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine, completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at the University of California, San Francisco, and earned advanced certificates in Full-Mouth Reconstruction, Implantology, and Advanced Aesthetics from New York University. She also served as an Assistant Professor of Restorative Dentistry at LECOM School of Dental Medicine in Lakewood Ranch before opening her Siesta Key practice. That combination of academic depth and clinical experience is rare in a single provider.
The scope of services offered. Patients who have to travel to three different specialists for a dental implant, gum treatment, and teeth straightening lose time, continuity, and the benefit of a provider who sees the full picture of their oral health. A comprehensive Sarasota dentist handles the full range of needs under one roof — and Siesta Village Dentistry does exactly that.
Technology that improves outcomes. Modern dental technology isn't just about comfort — it's about precision. 3D cone beam CT imaging allows a dentist to see structures that flat X-rays miss entirely, making implant placement safer and more accurate. Digital Smile Design tools allow patients to preview cosmetic results before any work begins. These tools produce genuinely better clinical outcomes and are worth asking about when choosing a dentist in Sarasota.
One of the hallmarks of Siesta Village Dentistry is the breadth of treatments available at a single location. Whether you need preventive care or a complex restorative procedure, Dr. Ta's training and technology make it possible to handle your full dental journey without referrals to outside specialists.
Gum disease affects a significant portion of adults, and its consequences extend beyond the mouth — research has linked untreated periodontal disease to cardiovascular disease, diabetes complications, and other systemic health issues. If you're looking for a Sarasota dentist who can treat advanced gum disease without traditional surgery, LANAP is worth understanding.
LANAP — Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure — is the only FDA-cleared laser protocol proven to produce true periodontal regeneration: actual new bone growth and gum reattachment, not just reduced inflammation. Dr. Ta performs LANAP using the Periolase MVP-7, the gold-standard laser system for this procedure. Unlike traditional gum surgery, LANAP involves no scalpels, no sutures, and dramatically faster recovery. Patients return to normal activities the following day in most cases.
Dr. Ta is one of only a small number of LANAP-certified dentists serving the Sarasota area — making Siesta Village Dentistry a destination for patients who need advanced periodontal care without invasive surgery.
Missing teeth affect far more than appearance — they impact bite function, bone preservation, and long-term oral health. Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement because they act as artificial roots, providing a permanent foundation that prevents bone loss and supports crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations that look and function like natural teeth.
Dr. Ta is certified in both the surgical placement and prosthetic restoration phases of implant treatment — meaning patients don't need to visit a separate oral surgeon. For patients missing most or all of their teeth, All-on-4 implants replace a complete arch using just four strategically placed implants, often allowing patients to leave the office with functional teeth on the same day as surgery.
For patients looking to straighten teeth without the visibility and discomfort of traditional braces, Invisalign offers a discreet and effective alternative. The custom-made clear aligners are removable, comfortable, and nearly invisible — making them a popular choice for both teens and adults. Treatment at Siesta Village Dentistry moves at your pace, with fewer office visits required than conventional orthodontics.
One of the more distinctive services available at Siesta Village Dentistry is therapeutic Botox for TMJ disorders and jaw pain — a service that many people don't realize a dentist can provide. Temporomandibular joint disorders cause jaw pain, clicking, grinding, chronic headaches, and facial tension. When these symptoms stem from overactive jaw muscles, targeted Botox injections directly address the source of the problem by relaxing those muscles — providing relief that can last three to six months per treatment.
Dr. Ta is certified in therapeutic Botox and trigger point injections for TMJ, and her patients in the Sarasota area have found significant long-term relief through this approach after years of unsuccessful treatment with other providers.
A beautiful smile has a measurable impact on confidence, first impressions, and quality of life. Porcelain veneers — ultra-thin shells bonded to the front surface of teeth — can correct staining, chips, gaps, uneven sizing, and misalignment in as few as two visits. What makes the experience at Siesta Village Dentistry different is the use of Digital Smile Design technology, which allows patients to preview their final results on a screen before any irreversible work begins. You approve your smile before the first preparation is made.
The full menu of services at Siesta Village Dentistry also includes PRP therapy (platelet-rich plasma to accelerate healing after implants and LANAP procedures), SomnoDent sleep apnea appliances (a CPAP-free solution for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea), tooth-colored composite fillings, root canal treatment, and a complete range of preventive and restorative care.

The technology a dentist invests in reflects their commitment to clinical excellence. At Siesta Village Dentistry, the diagnostic and treatment tools in use include:
These are not entry-level tools. This is the equipment found in specialized clinics and academic dental centers — now available to Sarasota patients in a beach-adjacent private practice setting.
One of the practical advantages of Siesta Village Dentistry is its understanding of Sarasota's unique population. The area is home to a significant community of seasonal residents — snowbirds who spend winters in Florida and summers elsewhere. Dr. Ta has decades of experience treating a diverse patient base and offers flexible scheduling to accommodate seasonal residents, whether that means front-loading treatment early in the season or coordinating care around travel plans.
The practice also welcomes patients visiting Siesta Key on vacation who need emergency dental care — a detail that matters in a community that sees hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. A toothache or dental emergency shouldn't end a trip, and Siesta Village Dentistry is available for exactly these situations.
Current patients come from throughout Sarasota County, including Sarasota proper, Siesta Key, South Sarasota, North Sarasota, Palmer Ranch, Gulf Gate Estates, Bee Ridge, Lakewood Ranch, Osprey, Nokomis, Venice, and beyond.

For new patients who haven't had a recent dental evaluation, this is the ideal starting point — a thorough baseline evaluation that gives Dr. Ta the information she needs to understand your oral health completely, and gives you a clear picture of where you stand and what, if anything, needs attention.
The patients who come to Siesta Village Dentistry tend to stay. Part of that is the quality of clinical work. Part of it is the technology. But perhaps the most consistent thing patients mention is the philosophy Dr. Ta brings to every appointment.
"Our patients are the boss. We follow their wishes for dental health and treatments. Our ultimate goal is to give you the information and resources needed to make the best decision for your health."
That philosophy — listening first, explaining clearly, never pressuring — is what makes patients feel comfortable enough to keep appointments they might otherwise avoid. And for many dental conditions, consistency is everything. The patient who comes in every six months catches the small problem that, left for two years, becomes an expensive and uncomfortable one.
