Welcome!
My name is Richard Caven and I am a fifth generation, Florida dentist. My desire is to provide a quality of care that most people are not used to. Our office is state of the art with computerized radiographs, photographs, charting and insurance filing, but it is my team that I am most proud of. Our daily intention is to help our guests feel comfortable and relaxed. We all love dentistry and strive to ease our patient's anxiety. Our goal is to provide a fun and unique experience for all our guests while creating beautiful and healthy smiles through dental excellence. As a matter of fact, we were voted by our peers as a Top Dentist as reported in Jacksonville Magazine in October 2008.
We believe that a doctor and patient should become a team to find the best treatment options. We will be your “dental advocate” to help you find the best comfort, health and beauty in your smile.

We truly have Continuity in a Time of Change.
Our clinical passions include complete care and aesthetic based dentistry. Our continuing education is extremely important to us and we have gained perspectives on dentistry that help our patients achieve all their dental wants. We are able to deal with both the very minimal needs and the most complex cases.
We also want our patients to be informed about dental problems and treatments, because informed patients make better decisions about their health and well being.
