A smile you feel confident in changes more than how you look — it changes how you carry yourself in every room you walk into. If worn enamel, stubborn stains, chipped teeth, or gaps have made you self-conscious, a cosmetic dentistry plan built around your specific concerns can address everything at once. At JAX Dental Studio in Jacksonville, FL, we design smile makeovers that combine the right mix of treatments into one coordinated plan so that color, shape, alignment, and proportion all work together.
Dr. Charles Poblenz, DMD brings formal training from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, active membership in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and technology like iTero 5D digital scanning to plan each case with precision. Every smile makeover we design is built around your face, your goals, and your timeline, not a one-size-fits-all package.
A smile makeover is a customized combination of cosmetic and restorative dental procedures. Rather than treating one concern at a time over several years, a makeover addresses multiple issues in a single, coordinated plan. Common concerns patients bring to us in Jacksonville include:
According to the American Dental Association, cosmetic dental procedures encompass a range of treatments that improve the appearance and function of your smile. At JAX Dental Studio, we assess your full oral health picture first, so any restorative needs are addressed as part of your plan.
A smile makeover draws from the full range of cosmetic and restorative services. Dr. Poblenz identifies the right combination during your consultation based on your specific goals and oral health.
Thin shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct staining, chips, gaps, and proportion in a few visits.
Professional whitening removes years of staining to brighten your smile several shades in a single visit.
Tooth-colored composite resin repairs chips, cracks, and minor gaps quickly and affordably.
Custom crowns restore heavily worn or damaged teeth while blending seamlessly with your smile.
Missing teeth are replaced with implant-supported restorations that look and feel natural.
Discreet aligners can straighten and space teeth as part of a longer-term makeover plan.
Not every smile makeover uses every treatment. During your consultation we take a full set of digital X-rays, review your goals, and map out only the procedures your smile genuinely needs.
Dr. Poblenz grew up in Florida and earned his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry in 2015. He returned to Jacksonville to build a practice centered on getting to know his patients, understanding what they want for their smiles, and delivering results that hold up for years.
As an active member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the American Academy of Clear Aligners, Dr. Poblenz completes far more continuing education each year than Florida requires — ensuring every smile makeover reflects current techniques and materials. At JAX Dental Studio, we use iTero 5D digital scanning to map your teeth in precise detail before treatment begins.
Meet Our TeamA smile makeover is appropriate for a wide range of concerns, and most adults in good oral health qualify. Candidacy has more to do with what you want to change and the current health of your teeth and gums than with age. You may be a strong candidate if you have:
If active gum disease or tooth decay is present, we treat those concerns before cosmetic work begins. That step is part of your plan, not a detour from it, and it ensures your cosmetic results are built on a healthy foundation.
Every smile makeover moves through roughly the same phases, though your timeline depends on which treatments are involved. Plans centered on veneers and whitening take less time than those including aligners or implant restorations.
Dr. Poblenz reviews your dental and medical history, discusses your goals, and takes an iTero 5D digital scan. You leave with a clear picture of which treatments are recommended and what the process looks like.
We map out the exact sequence of procedures, the number of visits, the estimated timeline, and your financing options in writing before any treatment begins. No surprises.
Depending on your plan, some smile makeovers are complete in a few visits. Others unfold over several months. We schedule appointments efficiently and prioritize your comfort throughout every stage.
Once your makeover is complete, we walk you through how to care for your new smile at home and schedule your next preventive visit to make sure your results last.
Smile makeover costs vary because no two plans are the same. The total depends on which treatments are included, how many teeth are being addressed, and any preparatory care needed beforehand. A plan centered on whitening and bonding is a very different investment than one involving full veneers or implant restorations. We give you a complete, itemized cost breakdown at your consultation so you know the full picture before you commit.
Cosmetic procedures are generally not covered by dental insurance. However, any portion of your plan that restores function may qualify. We are in network with BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, Cigna, Florida Combined Life, and Aetna, and our team helps you understand your benefits before treatment begins.
For any portion not covered by insurance, we offer financing through CareCredit, so you can spread payments over time and not delay the smile you want.
We never quote an estimate without knowing your specific plan. Every cost conversation happens at your consultation, with a written breakdown provided before treatment begins.
Cosmetic dentistry requires both clinical skill and an eye for aesthetics. At JAX Dental Studio, Dr. Poblenz combines formal cosmetic training and AACD membership with advanced digital tools so every smile makeover is planned with precision and executed with care. We use iTero 5D scanning and digital X-rays to map your teeth before treatment begins, giving us an accurate foundation for every procedure in your plan. Our team completes well beyond the continuing education Florida requires each year, and we serve patients across Jacksonville in a practice built around comfort, communication, and lasting results. Every patient leaves with a clear understanding of their plan, their timeline, and their costs before any treatment begins.
It depends entirely on which treatments are in your plan. A makeover centered on whitening, bonding, or a small number of veneers can be complete in a few visits over a few weeks. Plans that include clear aligner therapy or implant restorations unfold over several months. Dr. Poblenz outlines your specific timeline at your consultation.
Most cosmetic procedures are minimally invasive and involve little to no discomfort. For any treatment that requires work on the tooth structure, such as veneer preparation or crown placement, we use local anesthesia so you are comfortable throughout. Patients with dental sensitivity can discuss that at their consultation so we can plan accordingly.
Purely cosmetic procedures are typically not covered by dental insurance. However, if any part of your plan restores function, such as a crown on a broken tooth or an implant restoration, that portion may qualify for coverage. We are in network with BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, Cigna, Florida Combined Life, and Aetna, and we help patients understand their benefits before treatment begins.
That depends on the procedures involved. Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or more with proper care. Dental crowns can last 15 years or longer. Teeth whitening results vary by lifestyle and maintenance. We discuss expected longevity for every treatment in your plan during your consultation.
Yes. Implant-supported restorations are a common component of smile makeovers for patients with one or more missing teeth. We coordinate your full implant treatment at JAX Dental Studio, partnering with a trusted surgical specialist for the placement step while Dr. Poblenz handles your restoration.
