A dental office built for the next ten years — not just your next appointment.
Ortega Boulevard Dental is a long-term dental office for Jacksonville families and professionals — thorough, unhurried care from a team that gets to know you, not a rotating cast of providers chasing today's quick fix.
What a long-term dental office looks like
A long-term dental office, with the details handled too.
The relationship comes first. When treatment does come up, here's how we handle it.
The same dentist, every visit
You'll see Dr. Hekkert and the same team visit after visit — not whoever's free that day — so your treatment plan is built around your actual history, not a five-minute chart review.
Same-day crowns, when you need one
Our in-office CEREC system means one visit instead of two for most crowns — no temporary, no three-week wait on an outside lab — because your time matters as much as your teeth.
Dental implants
For patients ready to stop managing a problem tooth and replace it for good — planned and placed with the same one-on-one attention as everything else here.
SureSmile clear aligners
A straighter smile without a mouth full of metal — for adults who want the results of braces without announcing it to every meeting they sit in.
Every stage of care, under one roof.
From routine cleanings to same-day crowns, most of what a long-term dental office needs to cover happens right here at 5417 Ortega Blvd.

✓You'll feel at home here if
You want a dentist relationship that lasts — regular cleanings, a crown or implant when you need one, and a team that already knows your history. You have PPO dental insurance or prefer to pay directly, and you value a thorough, unhurried visit over the fastest, cheapest one.
Dr. Erik Hekkert, DDS
Dr. Hekkert built Ortega Boulevard Dental around the idea that good dentistry takes time — time to explain what's actually going on in your mouth, and time to do the work right the first visit, whenever that's possible.
Ortho Day is coming back this October.
One day, deeply discounted orthodontic care for patients ready to finally start their smile. Space is limited and it books out fast — get on the list before we open scheduling.
