A skilled prosthodontist Jacksonville can address each of these conditions with precision and expertise.

Prosthodontist Treatments We Offer

Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. They provide a permanent foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Prosthodontists routinely use advanced imaging like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for precise implant planning and placement.

Crowns and Bridges

Complete and Partial Dentures

Removable prosthetics designed to replace multiple missing teeth. Modern dentures offer improved fit and comfort thanks to digital fabrication techniques.

Implant-Supported Snap-On Dentures

Traditional dentures rest entirely on gums, often slipping or causing discomfort. Implant-supported dentures are anchored by small implants snaps to your gums, providing exceptional stability and allowing you to chew any food with confidence.

All-on-4® Implants

This innovative technique restores full arches of the upper or lower jaw using just four strategically placed implants. All-on-4 provides a non-removable dental arch often placed in a single day.

Veneers

Thin, custom-crafted porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct chips, gaps, discoloration, and minor misalignments.

Full-Mouth Rehabilitation

Comprehensive treatment combining multiple restorative procedures to address extensive dental issues and restore overall oral health and function.

I'm in the process of having dental implants all-in-4 and had the initial surgery (extractions and implants) with Dr. Tepedino. Received my temps same day which look great. Most importantly, I've been to many dentists over the years and Dr. Tepedino has been the best yet! He is very gentle, communication is great, and professional. I did not experience any pain after the surgery and only took ibuprofen. That speaks alot about the doctor. The staff was also great and made me feel very comfortable! Thank you!

Excellent DR and staff took care of my immediate concerns even after not seeing a dentist since 1995. Cracked tooth and infection and was admitted same day. While expecting to be admonished for my lack of dental care Dr Tepedino and staff took care of my issue and created the follow on plan to getting a dental implant for the tooth I lost. I am now on track and will start annual dental health care screenings. Excellent care from a Great staff.

I luv this place! The office staff is extremely nice organized and immaculate!! I am very terrified of Dentists, not sure why. I wanted them to take the mask down for a mili second, I wanted to see their faces. It was my first visit. They said I cannot take my mask off but let me show you a picture, not sure why I wanted to see their faces but that was the beginning of accommodating me and that huge fear. I sat down in the chair and said my eyes are crying not me. My sweater was like a blanket and I held it for dear life. Mark, the hygienist, and Dr. Patel the dentist quickly noticed and validated my fears. It was a very pleasant experience. Mark did his magic, then I had a session with Dr. Patel for my crown. My teeth are beautiful, and did I say no pain. I’m staying as long as they will have me!!! Top notch, first class are just two words to describe my experience. Thanks guyzzz!
