About Riverside Dental

Riverside Dental provides dental care on Riverside Avenue in the Riverside area of Jacksonville, Florida. Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not. You can reach Riverside Dental through this page to ask a question, check current availability, or request an appointment.

Unfortunately was a waste of time, because the dental work couldn't be done, and I will need to take time off from work for another appointment

This place doesn’t make me dread going to the dentist anymore. The staff are all friendly and encouraging. I don’t feel like they try to oversell me on any unneeded procedures. My cleanings are always thorough and my teeth feel great afterwards. This place pays attention to details and helps you feel comfortable every step of the way. The location is also convenient for me. I don’t have anything bad to say!

Waste of my time. There is no way 4 post implants are 35 to 40,000 dollars. It would be cheaper to have all gold teeth put in. Like all the rest you have your little routine X-ray doctor pops in then they try and get you hooked, like trying to sell you a time share. Looks like it vacation time to go south of the border

Excellent customer service from check-in to departure every single time I go. Every person regardless of their position is always friendly, knowledgeable and they make you smile. I am so fortunate that I found Riverside Dental. I chose to go with Riverside dental because of the treatment I received from day one. Dr. Cohlmia is amazing; always concerned about how I feel and listens intently to my suggestions regarding my treatment and goal for the finish line.They are giving me back my smile and improving my way of life😁❤️. I couldn't be happier. If anyone is looking for a dentist for any need, run don't walk to Riverside Dental!

Riverside Dental deserves an A+ review for the incredible care and compassion they show their patients. I am so grateful for the kindness, patience, and professionalism they have shown me throughout my experience. I truly feel there is no one else that has shown compassion the way Riverside Dental has. They made me feel cared for, respected, and comfortable every step of the way. Riverside Dental didn’t just help my smile — they changed my life. Thank you to the entire team for everything you do! Ill see you again soon.

Nice facility. Great personalities from reception all way to Dentist, Adam Cohlmia. Keena was “the bomb”, great personality & very knowledgable. I was there for initial evaluation & I left feeling totally informed. Dr Cohlmia clearly provided details of several options for my dental care plan. I went there with one idea & left with a better plan. I feel confident that my care will be excellent. Riverside Dental made a great first impression.
