Atlantic Boulevard was finished in 1910, long before Arlington filled in with the mid-century modern homes it is known for today. The road still ties Arlington to San Marco on the same side of the St. Johns. For a family near Jacksonville University or Regency Square, that one familiar road leads to a dentist who can handle everything from a six-year-old’s first sealants to a cracked molar.
From our office on Hendricks Avenue, JAX Dental Studio welcomes families from Arlington and the other Jacksonville neighborhoods we serve. To reach us, follow Atlantic Boulevard west to San Marco Square, where it meets Hendricks Avenue, then head south on Hendricks to our office.
Most households need different things at different times, and we cover that full range under one roof. A parent might come in for a crown in the spring. A teenager might need a sports mouthguard before the season, and a grandparent may ask about replacing a missing tooth.
Small problems often go unnoticed until they hurt. The CDC’s 2024 Oral Health Surveillance Report found that nearly 21% of adults ages 20 to 64 had at least one permanent tooth with untreated decay. Regular exams, cleanings, digital X-rays, and oral cancer screenings are the heart of our preventive dentistry, and they are how we look for issues like that early. Sealants and fluoride treatments add protection for kids. Adults with a history of cavities may benefit from fluoride treatments too.
When a tooth needs work, we offer fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, root canal therapy, dentures, and dental implant treatment. For appearance goals, our cosmetic dentistry near Arlington includes whitening, porcelain veneers, bonding, white spot removal, and all-white fillings, and clear aligner therapy is available for straightening.
Toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken restorations, and infections rarely arrive at a convenient time. We hold time open every day we see patients, Monday through Thursday, for emergency dentistry near Arlington, with same-day appointments for urgent problems. Our membership plan also includes one emergency exam a year if you need it.
Gum disease treatment, periodontal maintenance, night guards, and TMJ treatment round out our care for adults. If your gums bleed when you brush or your jaw aches in the morning, these services give us a way to look for the cause and talk through what to do about it. For patients who need closer gum care, our periodontal membership plan includes three maintenance cleanings a year.
We are in network with BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, Cigna, Aetna, and Florida Combined Life, and we offer CareCredit, Cherry, and an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance.
A first appointment lasts about an hour and includes an exam, X-rays, a scan, and a professional cleaning. Along the way, you are likely to see some of our dental technology in action, including these tools:
We sterilize according to CDC and OSHA infection control guidelines. Seeing your own images on a screen makes our recommendations easier to follow. If you feel uneasy, speak up, and we pause to talk you through what comes next. A treatment coordinator then goes through costs, insurance coverage, and payment choices with you, so you can weigh the cost before any treatment starts.
Dr. Charles Poblenz studied at the University of North Florida here in Jacksonville, and he is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Academy of Clear Aligners. He believes in honest communication, so he explains every option in plain language and lets you make the final decision. You get that same straightforward approach whether you need a quick filling or a full smile makeover.
We work with most PPO plans and send claims to your insurer for you. Our dental membership plan gives uninsured adults two cleanings, two exams, and checkup X-rays for a yearly fee. On top of that, members get a discount on additional treatment, 15% with cash or check and 12% with a credit card. CareCredit and Cherry financing are available as well, and our appointments start and end on time.
These are the questions Arlington families and adults bring us most often before they make the drive.
Beyond the routine visits, it adds savings. The savings come as 15% off further treatment when you pay by cash or check, or 12% off on a credit card. The Adult plan costs $439 per year and includes one emergency exam if needed. It works as a savings plan, not insurance, with some exclusions.
On Monday to Thursday we offer same-day appointments, because we set aside emergency time each open day. Contact us as early as you can. On Friday to Sunday, protect the tooth with first aid and go to an emergency room for severe symptoms.
Yes. Online booking is open 24 hours a day, including evenings and weekends, so you do not need to wait for office hours to request a visit. The appointments themselves take place Monday through Thursday.
Night guards are part of our care, and Dr. Poblenz can look at your teeth and jaw during an exam. We also offer TMJ treatment for jaw pain. Bring up morning soreness or worn edges at your visit so we can look for the cause.
Yes. Our team files the claim with your insurer for you. We accept most PPO plans, and our treatment coordinator reviews what your coverage includes before treatment starts, so you know what to expect.
Arlington families do not need to piece together care from several offices. Whether you live near Fort Caroline National Memorial at Arlington’s northern edge or closer to the Arlington Expressway, you can reach us by heading west on Atlantic Boulevard. JAX Dental Studio offers preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and emergency dentistry in one place, from cleanings for the kids to an implant consultation for a grandparent.
Online booking never closes, and the office itself is open Monday through Thursday, with Dr. Charles Poblenz leading your care. If you have questions about insurance, membership, or financing, our team can walk you through them. When you are ready to make the drive down Atlantic Boulevard, schedule your visit with our office.
