Technology is a Large Part of Who We Are
We utilize leading-edge dental technology as part of our commitment to providing an exceptional level of dentistry. These tools allow us to detect issues earlier, improve the efficiency of your appointments, create more precise treatment plans, and enhance your comfort.
Digital and 3D X-rays
Our digital X-rays emit less radiation, take images faster without any need for processing, and allow us to optimize the images so we can provide a more precise diagnosis.
Panoramic X-Ray
Our panoramic dental x-ray machine uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to capture the entire mouth in one image. It allows us to plan treatment for dentures, braces, extractions and implants.
Intraoral Camera
We use our intraoral camera to get a closer look at your oral health while also helping to bring you into your own diagnosis and treatment plan. The images from the camera can be projected onto a screen for you to get a dentist’s view of any signs or issues we see.
CEREC
The CEREC system takes the normal, multi-visit traditional dental crown procedure and cuts it down. You’ll receive your permanent, natural-looking restoration faster than ever!
Isolite Comfort System
Sitting through your dental appointment is now more comfortable thanks to the Isolite system. It has a flexible bite block designed to alleviate soreness from keeping your mouth open while we work, and it has hydration and suction capabilities so we can work more efficiently.
Dentalvibe
If your treatment requires you to get an injection, we can block any possible discomfort or pain with the gentle vibrations from our DentalVibe.

- Alana
The "NICEST" Group of Staff I've "EVER" met... Before moving to Jacksonville I was in Medical Sales and dealt with Office Staff for years. I "HONESTLY" with the exception of Westchester County Medical Group. Had NEVER until today met a Group that came close. Though they didn't alleviate my "fear" of dentists. I'm not as fearful of going back to finish the needed work that has to be done...
- David
For cleaning they were very professional. They offer full mouth Xrays as well as bitewing shots. The Dr. discusses what they see with you and if there are any issues they discuss in detail what their recommendation us.

April was my hygienist and she did and amazing job! Office staff is super friendly and answers all questions thoroughly. Highly recommend Lakewood Dentistry!
- Sadie
I had to wait longer than normal both for my cleaning and for the dentist to come to my room. A little surprised since I received numerous reminder texts and calls saying they’d be ready for me. I love the facilities and my hygienist is great.
- Rebecca
Have you ever been to a dental office that smells and looks like a high-end spa? Where every employee smiles, and even in the lobby asks if you're comfortable, would you like a beverage? Think you're going to pay more for all these niceties - NOPE , they are less expensive than my previous dentist! Every exam room is based on a tropical, alluring vacation spot, they have TVs mounted on the ceiling, bring you warmed blankets. And the dentists are REALLY nice, not fake nice , really nice. I encourage everyone to visit Lakewood Dentistry, they are WONDERFUL.

Lakewood Dentistry has always had a fantastic crew of hygienists take care of my family since we moved to Jacksonville almost 3 and a half years ago. We happily maintain our scheduled cleanings, and my children actually get excited to go into their office.
Today, I had the pleasure of getting my cleaning with one of their newest hygienists, Lisa. Her upbeat personality and a vast array of knowledge about things, other than a simple conversation about my teeth, was refreshing. At the same time, she did an amazing job during my cleaning and presented me with several options about taking care of my teeth in between my regular visits to Lakewood.
If you have the opportunity to request a hygienist when scheduling your next cleaning at Lakewood Dentistry, I strongly encourage you to ask for Lisa. You will certainly be glad that you did.

Great modern office, professional environment and straightforward about billings and insurance coverage.
