Areas We Serve in Jacksonville, FL
A good dentist should be easy to reach on an ordinary weekday, not just worth the drive once a year. When the office sits on a road you already use, a cleaning fits into a lunch break, and a cracked tooth gets looked at before it turns into a bigger problem.
JAX Dental Studio welcomes patients from neighborhoods on both sides of the St. Johns River. Our family-friendly office on Hendricks Avenue sits in San Marco, the historic neighborhood built around San Marco Square, where Hendricks Avenue, San Marco Boulevard, and Atlantic Boulevard meet. Dr. Charles Poblenz and our team see children, adults, and seniors for everything from routine checkups to implants and same-day emergency care.
Which Jacksonville Neighborhoods Do We Serve?
Each neighborhood below has its own page with directions, local details, and the services our patients from that area ask about most. Choose yours to see how we can help.
San Marco
Our home neighborhood. The office is on Hendricks Avenue, one of the three streets that meet at San Marco Square.
Miramar
Just south of San Marco along the river. Stay on Hendricks Avenue heading north and you arrive at our door.
Lakewood
The mid-century streets off San Jose Boulevard connect north to Hendricks Avenue for a simple drive to our office.
San Jose
From the Mediterranean Revival homes along San Jose Boulevard, one road carries you north to San Marco.
St. Nicholas
Our neighbor to the east. Atlantic Boulevard leads straight into San Marco Square.
Arlington
Atlantic Boulevard links Arlington and San Marco, so families near Jacksonville University have a direct route to us.
Southside
From Baymeadows to the St. Johns Town Center area, I-95 north puts you at the San Marco exits.
Riverside
Across the river from San Marco. The Fuller Warren and Acosta Bridges make the crossing from Five Points easy.
Avondale
Families near the Shoppes of Avondale cross the St. Johns to reach our Hendricks Avenue office.
Ortega
From the historic peninsula between the St. Johns and Ortega Rivers, a single river crossing brings you to San Marco.
How Do Patients Get to Our San Marco Office?
Patients on the east bank of the St. Johns usually have the simplest trip. Miramar, Lakewood, and San Jose all sit along the Hendricks Avenue and San Jose Boulevard corridor, so one road connects home and our office. St. Nicholas and Arlington residents can follow Atlantic Boulevard west until it meets Hendricks Avenue at San Marco Square.
Families on the west bank cross the river first. Riverside, Avondale, and Ortega patients often take I-95 over the Fuller Warren Bridge or use the Acosta Bridge, which lands near San Marco Boulevard. Southside patients can head north on I-95 to the San Marco exits. Online booking is open around the clock, so you can choose a weekday time that fits your commute before you ever pick up the keys.
What Kind of Dental Care Can You Get Close to Home?
Many people put off the dentist because the office feels too far away or too hard to schedule. According to a 2022 CDC report on national survey data, about 63% of adults ages 18 to 64 saw a dentist in the past year in 2020, and adults without dental insurance were far less likely to go. A nearby office with clear payment options helps close that gap. Every neighborhood we serve has access to the same full range of care:
- Preventive visits: exams, cleanings, digital X-rays, sealants, fluoride, and oral cancer screenings.
- Cosmetic treatment: whitening, porcelain veneers, bonding, and complete smile makeovers.
- Restorative care: fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, root canal therapy, and dental implants.
- Emergency appointments: same-day visits Monday through Thursday for toothaches, broken teeth, and infections.
- Gum and bite care: periodontal treatment, laser dentistry, night guards, and clear aligner therapy.
We accept most PPO plans and are in network with BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, Cigna, Aetna, and Florida Combined Life. Patients without insurance can join our in-house dental membership plan or finance treatment through CareCredit and Cherry.
Why Do Jacksonville Families Choose JAX Dental Studio?
We keep our approach simple. We tell you what we see, explain every option, and let you make the call. Our team uses an iTero 5D scanner for digital impressions without messy trays, a soft tissue laser for gentler gum treatment, and digital X-rays that appear on a screen right next to your chair so you can see what we see.
Dr. Poblenz earned his psychology degree at the University of North Florida and his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry before returning to Jacksonville in 2015. He also donates his time through the Donated Dental Services program, providing free care to local residents who cannot afford treatment. Our whole team completes continuing education every year that goes well beyond Florida's requirements.
