Our Story

Specialty Care Rooted in Family, Elevated by Innovation

Who We Are

Tampa Advanced Dental Solutions is a second-generation specialty practice focused on prosthodontics, periodontics, and maxillofacial
rehabilitation. Founded in 1996 by Dr. C. Edgar Davila, the practice has grown into a regional destination for patients requiring advanced, restorative-driven care — supported by digital technology an in-house laboratory, and a team of specialists.

Our mission has not changed since the beginning: restore comfort, function, and confidence with precision, intention, and a standard of care that complex cases demand.

The Foundation

Dr. C. Edgar Davila trained at Cayetano Heredia Peruvian University, completed his prosthodontic residency and Master of Science in Oral Biology at the University of Louisville, pursued advanced general dentistry training at the University of Rochester Eastman Dental Center, and completed a Maxillofacial Prosthetics Fellowship at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. He is board-certified in prosthodontics, trained in maxillofacial prosthodontics, and a Certified Dental Technician.
He has practiced in Tampa for more than thirty years. In that time he has built one of the few private practices in Florida capable of delivering the full spectrum of prosthodontic, periodontal, maxillofacial, and implant care under one roof — and has established the referral relationships across the region to match.

The Practice Today

What began as one specialist's vision has grown naturally into a multi-generational team. Dr. Alexandra Davila-Pettyjohn, prosthodontist, joined the practice in 2023. Dr. Christian D. Davila, board-certified periodontist, joined shortly after. Their younger sister Vanessa is currently completing her prosthodontic residency — the next chapter in a practice that continues to grow without losing what made it worth growing.
Together with Dr. Zahida Iqbal, Dr. Alejandro Caribas, Dr. Sonia Vargas, Dr. Ruben Viloria, and the broader TADS team, we offer a level of integrated specialty care that is genuinely uncommon in private practice.
