Claude Harris DDS

If a small crown or filling starts causing trouble mid-vacation, Claude Harris DDS fits right into the laid-back rhythm of South Street. Just south of the Duval Street hum, they handle the usual suspects—cavities, cleanings, crowns, fillings, and root canals—without the tourist-center flash. Whether the issue is a nagging ache or a six-month check-up they’ll get you in and out and back to the sand.

The office sits at 714 South St, wrapped in a straightforward coral storefront that disappears into the block. Walk in, give the James Patterson-inspired magazine rack a quick flip—then it’s usually a short wait before stepping into the chair. They understand that dental work isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time, so they move at a pace that keeps surprise appointments from eating the whole afternoon.

Call them at (305) 293-3099 to lock in an open slot between beach naps and sunset sails. Recent visitors note that same-day openings pop up if you’re stuck downtown with a toothache and a tight schedule. It’s one of the quieter clinics along South, so you won’t have to thread through crowds just to point at the X-ray lightbox.

Find the quickest route to the chair with a tap on the map link; it drops you right at the curb so you can sprint from the car to the lobby without circling Ocean Key’s parking gauntlet. The block stays mellow even when Duval buzzes—convenient if you need a break from Jimmy Buffett karaoke.
