Dr. Schumacher has been featured in Jacksonville Magazine’s TOP Dentists since 2013. While taking continuing education courses from many of the pioneers in restorative dentistry, Dr. Schumacher developed his keen interest in TMJ (bite disease) and facial pain. To Dr. Schumacher great dentistry is about both art and function. Recreating a patients teeth and bite in a way that will work well and last as long as possible is very important. This also led him to pursue advanced training in dental implants and the use of Waterlase Laser and CEREC equipment for his patients. Continuing to help patients looking for their cosmetic smile re-design is exciting still.
