About Owen J. Boales, DMD

After many years working in the dental field I still enjoy coming to the practice every day and seeing all the wonderful, bright smiles on my patients' faces! For years, I have built my practice around the philosophy of providing an accepting, welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where my patients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and treatment goals. To this day, I still believe in this philosophy, and I believe it's what makes our patients choose us and continue seeing us for all their dental care. I consider it a great honor to treat and have treated so many wonderful patients, and I look forward to the years of smiles I have yet to share. I truly enjoy my work as a dentist. One of the most exciting aspects of my job is having the ability to provide my patients with minimally invasive, soft-touch dentistry; giving patients a beautiful, healthy, new smile without any injections, drilling, or pain! An easy example is of a young adult with stained, crowded, chipped front teeth. Minimal invasive dentistry provides this patient with bleaching, high-speed braces, or Invisalign, and bonded resin restorations for the chips. No crowns, no veneers, and probably no injections, no drilling and no pain! Many times this kind of high-tech, soft-touch dentistry costs almost 50% less than a full cosmetic makeover and it's noninvasive! At Reedy Branch Family Dentistry, we strive to provide a great dental service in a relaxed ""soft-touch"" atmosphere. We enjoy treating our patients with respect, kindness and sensitivity to their unique dental goals. Our practice goal is to provide an accepting, welcoming, nonjudgmental ambiance that allows patients to fully communicate their dental goals and any possible limitations to achieve those goals. In 1981, I began practicing dentistry here in Jacksonville. I am an Invisalign certified provider, as well as offering lingual iBraces, TADs, and clear braces. I believe wholeheartedly in continuing education, and I feel that it is a great way to continue offering my patients the most advanced dental treatment options. I am a member of several professional dental associations, where I participate in regular continuing education courses. Even outside of the practice, Dr. Boales stays smiling! When I am away from the practice, I can usually be found spending time and sharing smiles with my wonderful wife of 34 years, our four children, and three grandchildren! I am originally from Philadelphia, but I have called Jacksonville home since 1978. I enjoy living and practicing dentistry in Florida, and I look forward to working with you and your family toward a future of bright, healthy, beautiful smiles!
