About Simply Smiles
A Sarasota dental practice where you are listened to, kept informed and treated like family.


A Practice Built Around Its Patients
Simply Smiles is owned and led by Dr. Kira Gekht, DDS. She earned her dental degree from the University of Maryland in 2002 and has called Sarasota home since 2007. Her goal for the practice is simple. She wants people to feel differently about going to the dentist.
That starts with listening. We ask about your concerns before we recommend anything, and we explain what we see in plain language. You will know what each step involves and why it matters before any treatment begins.
We also believe healthy smiles are built on routine care. Regular checkups and hygiene visits help us find small problems early. If you fall behind on visits, our team will reach out to help you get back on schedule.
What Makes Simply Smiles Different
A few practical reasons patients from Sarasota, Siesta Key, Gulf Gate, Palmer Ranch and Osprey choose our office.
Four Doctors, One Office
Our team includes four general dentists and a periodontist, so many kinds of care can be planned and provided in one familiar place.
Treated Like Family
We take time to hear every concern and keep you informed at each step, so you are never left guessing about your care.
We Follow Up
Routine visits protect your oral health. When a checkup or cleaning is missed, our team reaches out to help you get back on track.
Insurance and Financing
We file all PPO insurance and are in network with Delta Dental Premier. Financing is available through CareCredit, Cherry, and In-house insurance.
Clear Aligner Choices
We are a certified Invisalign provider and also offer SureSmile and Candid aligners, with available preview to your possible new smile.
Free Second Opinions
If you are unsure about a treatment plan from another office, we offer free second opinions so you can decide with clear information.
How We Welcome New Patients
Your first visit is designed to give you a full picture of your oral health and a clear plan.
Meet Your Dentist
You are introduced to one of our dentists, who completes a comprehensive exam and checks for signs of gum disease and tooth decay.
X-Rays and Screening
Your hygienist takes X-rays of all your teeth, screens the hard and soft tissues of your mouth and looks at how your bite fits together.
Talk Through the Findings
The dentist reviews what was found and answers your questions. This is the time to share any concerns or goals you have for your smile.
Plan Your Care
We put together a treatment plan that fits your needs, then schedule any follow-up appointments around the times that work for you.
