Ernest H. McDowell, D.M.D., Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics.

Creating Pinellas Counties most beautiful smiles since 1987.

  My greatest passion for creating beautiful smiles comes from the positive difference it makes in peoples lives.  It's always amazing and fulfiling to see what a difference it makes in overall self-esteem  and self-confidence.  A person who smiles is always happier!  I have been blessed with the opportunity of helping positively impact so many lives and creating such a large extended  family of patients and friends.

I was fortunate to have been born in St. Petersburg, and have lived here all my life (except when away for my education).  My education was completed at the following:
