New Patients

Hello and welcome to our website.  If you are looking for a new dentist in Jacksonville, we would like to invite you to visit our office in Perimeter Park at the intersection of Southside Blvd. and JTB or call us at (904) 645-3366.

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 crown fabrication, 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 fears.  Our goal is to provide a fun and unique experience for all our guests while creating beautiful and healthy smiles through dental excellence.

Our clinical passions include complete care and esthetic based dentistry.  Our continuing education is extremely important to us. Dentists are required to get 32 hours of continuing eduaction every 2 years, but Dr. Caven averages over 100 hours each year. That commitment to clinical excellence gives us 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 are happy to provide services such as same day crowns with the amazing Cerec CAD-CAM unit (See Video), Laser Dentistry, veneers, implants, Invisalign (an invisible and removable option to straighten teeth), ZOOM! Whitening, Whitening for Life, periodontal treatment, fresh breath program, headache and bite management, root canals and tooth colored composite fillings to name a few.  We also enjoy using Botox Cosmetic and Juvederm Ultra lip augmentation.  But be assured that we will always take our time with you and explain all your options and associated insurance benefits and fees so that you can make an informed decision before any treatment is initiated.  We work with all major insurance companies and are a participating, in-network provider with Delta Dental PPO and Cigna Radius.

If you are interested in knowing what it takes to have a beautiful smile, or if you haven't been to the dentist in a long time and are feeling anxious, or if you just want a nice place to get your dental checkups, please call us at (904) 645-3366.  We would love to see you for our new patient experience.

Thank you for your time and interest.

Sincerely,

Richard Caven and Team
