The color, alignment, spacing as well as regularity of the teeth, are the characteristics that give the overall appearance.We offer a wide variety of cosmetic dentistry

Extractions

An extraction is the procedure of removing a tooth or teeth, that will be replaced with an implant, a denture, or a bridge. A tooth that is damaged may need to be removed to prevent further decay or damage by using an extraction procedure. Our dental surgeons specialize in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery to perform extractions to remove a tooth or multiple teeth.

Fillings, Crowns, & Bridges

A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a composite filling.

Crowns are full coverage restorations that are used to cover a tooth that is likely to break, or is too broken down to be restored with a filling. 

gum disease treatment jacksonville

Gum Disease

Gum (Periodontal) disease (see below Periodontics) is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults in the developed world and should always be promptly treated. When left untreated, gingivitis (mild gum inflammation) can spread to below the gum line. When the gums become irritated by the toxins contained in plaque, a chronic inflammatory response causes the body to break down and destroy its own bone and soft tissue.

CandidPro

CandidPro takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you alone. The aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten.

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral Cancer Screening could save your life. The survival rate for oral cancer is very high if detected early – up to 80% Treatment and procedures for removal are much easier and less disfiguring the earlier it is detected. Most oral cancer is detected only after it has advanced to stage III and IV, when cure rates are the only at 19%.

Dental Arts offers low copay cancer screening with all dental wellness exams so that all our patient’s are comfortable with getting it twice a year. 

Oral Surgery Jacksonville

Oral Surgery

Oral Surgery can be performed for many treatments such as Dental Implants, Wisdom Teeth, or Extractions.

When a tooth has very extensive damage, typically from decay, trauma, or other factors or its supporting structures have been damaged too extensively, there is no choice but to extract (take out) the tooth. Depending on the complexity of the procedure, our doctors may recommend sedation dentistry.

Periodontics

Periodontal (Gum) Disease (also known as periodontitis; see above Gum Disease) is a common inflammatory condition which affects the supporting and surrounding soft tissues of the tooth. The disease is most often preceded by gingivitis which is a bacterial infection of the gum tissue, and is a progressive condition that eventually leads to the destruction of the connective tissue and jawbone. If left untreated, it can lead to shifting teeth, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss.

root canal jacksonville

Root Canals

Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed and the resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function.

Sedation & Relaxation

Sedation dentistry provides a safe, comfortable dental treatment for patients with special needs. Sometimes called relaxation dentistry, sedation dentistry is a method of managing pain and anxiety during professional dental care through the use of medication.

Teeth Whitening

This is the process for achieving whiter, more attractive teeth. Our office utilizes a revolutionary tooth whitening procedure that is safe, effective, and quick—most sessions last about an hour, leaving your teeth dramatically whiter. We offer Only At Home Bleaching with Custom Trays and offer dental strength bleach for our whitening patients. 

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth start developing during the teenage years, but don’t fully develop and implant into the bone until the twenties. The older you are, the higher potential for complications. We have oral surgeons on staff with experience treating difficult cases with compassion. We also have weekend appointments available for wisdom teeth removal.

Dr. Patel and Fah took their time to explain the problem and the solutions. Price was doable. I went to 2 other dentist that wanted to charge an eye for the job. He took his time to make sure everything was perfect.

I never thought I’d say this, but it was actually fun going to the dentist for a change! Gwen is absolutely awesome — we shared so many laughs together, and she made the visit genuinely enjoyable. Anna and Michelle in the front office were kind, friendly, professional, and impressively efficient. Dr. Salgado has such a warm and engaging personality — she’s incredibly easy to connect with because of her tone, demeanor, and overall approach. And how could I not include Azim, the hygienist? She provided excellent care and was over-the-moon with kindness and hospitality.

The entire team at Dental Arts of Florida is exceptional. I’m very thankful for their professional service, wonderful care, and the positive atmosphere they create. For the first time ever, I’m actually looking forward to my next dental visit in six months!

I chose Dental Arts to finally have crowns placed on my 2 front teeth to replace bondings I’d had for many years from an accident that broke those teeth eons ago. The experience was so good! Dr. Patel…beyond amazing at what he does and was all about making my smile the one I had envisioned. He even went out of his way to find a local dental lab so I could get “custom shading” for the crowns to perfectly match the rest of teeth. (I went into the lab for this after they’d sent over my impressions to them).
And Marina the assistant….also amazing and so thorough & so kind! Gwen gets another amazing stamp from me. Those ladies know their stuff and were a huge part of making this such a positive experience.
I’ve even decided to switch to this office for my 6-month cleanings since I was so happy with everything and found out they are in-network with my dental insurance. So the final takeaway…..I absolutely LOVE the smile they gave me!!

I recently had a dental procedure done with Dr. Tepedino, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Dr. Tepedino was incredibly polite, attentive, and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. His calm and professional demeanor really put me at ease.
At my initial appointment, dental assistant Allie was amazing. I came in extremely anxious and nervous, but she handled it with so much care and compassion—it truly made a difference. At a follow-up visit, dental assistant Chelsie continued that same level of excellent care. Her communication and attention to detail were exceptional.
The office staff, especially Alexa, deserves recognition as well. She was so patient and understanding with my nervous energy, and helped me feel more comfortable from the moment I walked in.
On top of the great care, the team went above and beyond working with my insurance to make sure I had coverage with minimal out-of-pocket costs—something that’s becoming increasingly rare.
Out of all the dental offices I’ve experienced between Duval and Clay counties, this has by far been one of the best. Highly recommend!
