Chulick Family Dentistry

Dental care in St. Petersburg’s southern districts doesn’t always require a trek downtown. A general practice handles everything from routine cleanings to fillings and crowns at a first-floor office just off US-19, where the address—6688 1st Ave S—puts it a short drive from the Gulfport border. This isn’t a specialty clinic, so the focus stays on preventative work, x-rays, and basic restorative procedures without the frills of cosmetic-only studios.

The area around 1st Avenue South leans more residential than commercial, which means fewer walk-ins but easier access for neighbors. Most patients here arrive by car, though the location is still bikeable from the Pasadena and Broadwater neighborhoods if you’re avoiding traffic. Parking follows the usual strip-mall setup—no valets, no multi-level garages—just a lot shared with the surrounding businesses.

Booking an appointment starts with a call to (727) 803-6800, where the front desk fields questions about insurance, first visits, and whether they’re accepting new patients. Some practices in the area limit their scope to pediatrics or orthodontics, but this one covers adults and children under the same roof. That said, it’s still a good idea to confirm specifics before assuming every service is available on demand.

If you’re mapping the route for the first time, directions will show you it’s south of the 22nd Ave S intersection, across from a cluster of auto shops. The building itself doesn’t advertise with neon signs or flashy banners—just a standard plaque by the door.
