Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through digital smile design, veneers, and black triangle treatments. These procedures address aesthetic concerns like discoloration, gaps, and misalignment. Patients gain confidence with natural-looking, long-lasting results that enhance facial harmony.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged or missing teeth using CEREC crowns, bridges, and implants. These solutions restore functionality while maintaining aesthetics. Patients benefit from durable, customized treatments that mimic natural tooth structure and improve oral health.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligner therapy straightens teeth discreetly with custom, removable trays. This option suits adults and teens seeking a nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces. Treatment plans ensure gradual, comfortable alignment improvements without disrupting daily life.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We provide custom oral appliances for obstructive sleep apnea, reducing snoring and improving breathing during sleep. These devices reposition the jaw to keep airways open. Patients experience better sleep quality and reduced health risks associated with untreated apnea.
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation services include Botox and dermal fillers to reduce wrinkles and restore volume. These quick, minimally invasive treatments enhance natural features with subtle, youthful results. Patients achieve refreshed appearances without surgical downtime.

Been with Caven dental for a couple years now. - The techs do a phenomenal job and are incredibly thorough. - Dr. Caven has the best bedside manner of any provider I have ever dealt with. He will take time to explain everything he is going to do, down to talking through radiology reports and pictures of your teeth. - Caven Dental stays on top of current technology, and makes every effort to keep you comfortable.
They even get as thorough as using numbing cream and a vibrating tool that eliminates any pain from lidocaine injections. If you have any anxiety around going to the dentist, they will do their best to alleviate it. - Dr. Caven gets off of work in the evening.and then calls you if you've had a major procedure to ensure everything feels okay and that you don't have any concerns. I haven't even seen that from surgeons/cardiologists I've worked with. I cannot put to words how impressed I am by this office. Dr. Caven has a lineage of almost a century in dentistry (I believe) and takes the utmost pride in his work.

I've been going to Caven for 7 years now, and I've never had a bad interaction with anyone on the team. I recently met Callie and she treated me with great care, while taking into consideration by tooth sensitivity. She was very gentle and very personable. I've met with Dr. Shelby my last couple of visits and he always listens to my concerns and provides me with quality care and reassurance!

Wow! Staff is super friendly, extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to giving a great new patient experience. I just relocated and because I am switching dentists was a bit skeptical I would be able to find a high quality practice. Any concerns were quickly erased. The new patient intake exam was extremely through. This was followed by an equally comprehensive exam by the dentist.
He spent a great deal of time discussing treatment options and evaluating my needs before making his recommendations. I was then given a cleaning during which I experienced virtually no discomfort. I was really impressed every step of the way

I finally found a great reliable, honest, and quality dental group in Jacksonville with Caven Dental! I love that the practice has been around for several generations in the Caven family. The facility is modern and clean. The staff are courteous and helpful. The hygienists really take the time to get to know you and do a fabulous job. Ask for Callie, she is wonderful! Highly recommend!

Caven Dental Group is by far the best dentist I've ever had. I have been going there for over 8 years now, and my overall mouth health has never been better. Top notch professionalism and overall a great experience. I'm self employed and don't have dental insurance. Their in-house membership options are great for individuals like myself who like to get 3-4 cleanings a year
