- Dental ExaminationOur team performs in-depth periodontal screenings during every regular appointment here in Orange Park. We can also perform scaling and root planing, which is an in-depth cleaning that targets the dangerous bacterial accumulations responsible for gum disease and gets rid of them. You deserve to enjoy the healthiest smile possible!
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningOral cancer may not be mentioned in the dentist’s office as often as cavities or gum disease, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a threat. One person dies from this kind of cancer every hour on average, mostly because of late diagnoses. Here in Orange Park, our dental team is the first line of defense against this danger for you and your family, which is why we screen for oral cancer during regular checkups. Common warning signs that we will be looking for include...
- Teeth CleaningAfter your check-up has been completed and you’ve received any treatment for oral health problems we found, we’ll begin your dental cleaning. This typically takes anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. We’ll use a scaler to clear all tartar and plaque from the surface of your teeth. After that, we’ll floss between each of your pearly whites to remove food debris buildup. Finally, we’ll polish them using a gritty prophylaxis paste to remove surface stains.
- Fluoride TreatmentNo dental insurance? That shouldn’t have to hold you and your loved ones back from receiving important oral healthcare. Here in Orange Park, our practice has an amazing alternative – the Smile Network membership program. For a simple yearly fee, those covered receive affordable checkups and cleanings, all of the necessary X-rays, fluoride treatments, and a 15% discount on all other treatment. It works just like a typical insurance plan, only without all of the headaches, confusing jargon, and tedious claims.
- Dental SealantsDental sealants are an easy and effective way to guard against tooth decay, especially for children who are still learning the best techniques for brushing and flossing. Our team will paint a thin coating of the material (a safe, plastic-based substance) to the chewing surfaces of back teeth so that it adheres in place. There, it blocks out food particles and other foreign debris that would otherwise stick to the tooth’s grooves and pits. The result? A much lower risk of cavities overall!
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeSometimes, even the littlest smile imperfections can grab our attention in photos or the bathroom mirror. Direct bonding is a fast and effective way to correct these minor frustrations in just one appointment! One of our dentists will apply tooth-colored composite resin to the crack, chip, stain, or gap, sculpting it carefully so that it fully corrects the issue while still appearing subtle and natural. Once we’ve used our hi-tech curing light to harden it in place, you will be ready to return to your day with a more self-assured smile.
- VeneersWhen you look at your teeth in the mirror, are you distracted by their flaws? Perhaps you’ve even thought about having cosmetic dental work done, but it would require multiple different treatments that may not quite address all the problems you see. Well, there may be a better solution available for you to enhance your smile’s appearance—porcelain veneers. This tiny change can make a surprisingly huge difference and completely transform your teeth.
- CrownsWe all remember the days of sitting still and trying not to grimace as the dentist pressed “goopy” impression material over the teeth. This technique was not only uncomfortable, but often inaccurate as well, resulting in time-consuming retakes. Here in Orange Park, we now offer a much more pleasant alternative: digital impressions. Now, creating exact models of your teeth for restorative work like dental crowns only takes a few quick and easy scans of the mouth – no gagging required.
- BridgesDental crowns and bridges are two of the most common restorations we recommend for rebuilding and revitalizing teeth. Our dentists may suggest a new, custom-made crown for the following situations...

- Root Canal TreatmentUnsure how your dental insurance works? Don’t know how to navigate your policy or determine how best to use your benefits? Not to worry! At Crovatto & Edwards Family Dentistry, Dovie is part of our business team and will help you through the process of better understanding your Cigna dental insurance. Whether it is knowing how much your out-of-pocket expenses will be for a root canal or determining if you’ve met your deductible, she can answer all your questions and even work on your behalf with the insurance company if you prefer. She will also file any necessary paperwork and claims, so your experience is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
- Deep CleaningAlong with cleaning and sanitizing during the day, we take things to another level at night with a thorough top-to-bottom scrub down.
- DenturesKeep your trays clean with either specially made products from us or by gently brushing them morning and night with clear liquid soap. Avoid using toothpaste or denture cleaner because they’re too harsh and can scratch or damage them.
- Dental ImplantsIt’s often easy to take our teeth for granted until they’re gone. If tooth loss has stolen your quality of life, it may be time to invest in a high-quality replacement that will help you get back to enjoying every day to the fullest extent. At Crovatto & Edwards Family Dentistry, we wholeheartedly recommend dental implants.

- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign treatment involves the use of a series of removable, clear, plastic aligning trays that gradually shift your teeth into place. Dr. Steven Crovatto or Dr. Megan Edwards will take special images and impressions of your smile, and then create your custom-made Invisalign aligners based on the shape of your teeth.
- BracesMetal braces have been around for many years now, and they’re still a reliably effective method for correcting even the most complex cases of crooked teeth, overcrowding, misaligned bites, and more. Adults and children alike can be good candidates for this type of treatment, which relies on brackets and wires to gradually guide teeth towards their desired positioning. Elastics are used to attach the two together, which come in a variety of fun colors that can be used to showcase the patient’s one-of-a-kind personality!
