Dr. Momodu Ali
DDS · Founder
Tampa native, USF alum, Maryland-trained. Over a decade caring for Tampa Bay families with a calm, conservative approach to treatment planning.
We listen first. We explain in plain language. We treat every chair like it belongs to someone we love. That is the practice Dr. Momodu Ali built on West Virginia Avenue, and it is the standard our whole team works to every single day.
Dr. Ali has spent more than a decade serving Tampa Bay.
At Fresh Dental, we take pride in delivering high-quality, comprehensive dental care within a serene and comforting environment. Our foremost objective is to attentively listen to our patients, understand their unique requirements, and walk them through their options without pressure.
We are committed to providing accurate information and presenting clear treatment paths, so every patient can make decisions that fit their life and their budget. Our core values revolve around honesty, integrity, and kindness — and we work hard to create an atmosphere where every patient is treated like family.
We move slowly when it matters. Numb where it counts. And check in throughout every procedure so you are never wondering what is happening next.
A detailed treatment plan, in plain English, before anything begins. If a tooth can be saved, we tell you. If a less expensive path makes sense, we say so.
From your first phone call to your sixth-month recall, we want you to feel like part of the Fresh Dental family — not a chart number on a clipboard.
A proud Tampa native, Dr. Ali completed his undergraduate studies at the University of South Florida before earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore.
Following dental school, he advanced his training with a General Practice Residency at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in New Jersey. With more than a decade of experience, Dr. Ali has been serving the Tampa Bay community since returning to his hometown — dedicated to providing personalized, compassionate care and helping his patients achieve optimal oral health.
Patients name our assistants by name in their reviews. There is a reason for that — they are the warmest, steadiest hands in the building.
