At Riverside Dental, we have extensive knowledge and expertise delivering comprehensive, considerate and advanced dentistry to people of all ages.

Personalized Family Dentistry Services

From routine teeth cleanings and digital X-rays to oral cancer screenings, Riverside Dental is your go-to practice for preventive dentistry. Our dentist believes in delivering the most conservative treatments to preserve or restore healthy teeth and gums. We encourage you to schedule routine visits twice a year so we can look for early signs of dental decay or disease, provide prompt treatment or prevent these problems altogether.

We understand accidents happen and teeth are especially vulnerable to trauma in young children. In addition, uncomfortable nerve pain can develop seemingly overnight in adults of all ages. Our team does everything possible to schedule same- or next-day appointments because we don’t want to see anyone suffer. Whether you broke a restoration, your child knocked out a tooth on the playground or a family member has any other dental emergency, we’re here to relieve pain and restore our patients’ oral health!

In addition to alleviating dental fear, sedation dentistry makes it easier to withstand longer treatment sessions, so procedures that typically require multiple visits can be performed quicker. Nitrous oxide is the mildest type of sedation and safe even for children, as long as it’s administered by a trained pediatric dentist. We’ll discuss available options and help you make an informed decision about the best type to meet your needs.

Whether you have a weakened, broken or missing tooth, we offer customized crowns and bridges in Jacksonville, FL to restore your smile. Dental crowns are fixed caps that cover teeth too damaged or decayed to be treated with bonding or composite fillings. Crowns are also needed after a root canal procedure to protect the weakened tooth structure. A dental bridge spans the empty space a missing tooth creates and attaches to modified and crowned natural teeth on either side.

Tooth decay is a common oral health problem affecting people of all ages, from the first primary tooth through all stages of life. It’s important to fill cavities early to prevent the need for more extensive services like root canals and dental implants. Composite fillings are a tooth-colored alternative to traditional amalgam fillings that restore strength and aesthetics after decay is removed.

A tooth extraction may be necessary when a tooth has sustained extensive damage or decay, can’t be saved with root canal therapy or in preparation for a dental implant. In some cases, a tooth is extracted to make space in the mouth for orthodontic treatment or to allow room for adult teeth to grow in properly. Regardless of the reason, Dr. Spencer,  Dr. Cohlmia, Dr. Cross and Dr. Henry have the skills and expertise to ensure your procedure is comfortable and safe. Our oral surgeon, Dr. Tolley extract wisdom teeth (third molars) that are impacted and may require surgical extraction and sedation.  

A root canal is a proven method for treating tooth pulp that is inflamed or infected and saving the tooth. If left untreated, the infection can cause severe pain and/or lead to an abscessed tooth. While the myth persists that root canals are painful, advances in dental technology have resulted in root canals that are no more uncomfortable than having a cavity filled. After undergoing a root canal, a customized natural-looking crown is required to prevent fracturing and maintain tooth function and aesthetics.

Personalized cosmetic dental treatments at Riverside Dental provide renewed smile beauty, a boost in self-confidence and improved oral health. Our dentist is skilled in delivering a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services customized to your unique needs, including inlays, onlays, composite bonding, teeth whitening and porcelain veneers.

Do you snore at night, awaken in the morning and feel fatigued even after sleeping through the night? If so, you may have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition impacting 6–13% of adults in the U.S. For mild to moderate OSA, we can create a custom-made mouth guard to fit the shape of your teeth and mouth to help alleviate this problem. This simple treatment will enable more restful sleep for you and your partner!
If you wake up with a sore jaw or achy jaw muscles, you might be clenching and grinding your teeth at night. Known as bruxism, this common issue can damage your teeth and the TMJ, which connects your lower jaw to your skull. This can lead to TMJ-related jaw pain and chronic headaches. A custom mouth guard helps reestablish a comfortable relationship between your bite, TMJ and the muscles that move your jaw.
