Matthew Nawrocki DMD, MS is a general family dentist and prosthodontist in Orange Park. Dr. Nawrocki is proud to offer a unique outlook on family dentistry. Dr. Nawrocki has earned his specialist licensure in prosthodontics. Prosthodontics is essentially the study of the artificial replacement of teeth. This provides for the unique ability to not only treat the entire family with general dentistry, but in addition, Dr. Nawrocki has the knowledge and experience to treat more complex cases that otherwise would be referred to another specialist.
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, a prosthodontist may be able to help. Prosthodontics is one of the nine American Dental Association recognized dental specialties. Prosthodontists are educated and trained in many dental treatments including esthetic and cosmetic dentistry, crowns, bridges, veneers, all types of removable dentures, implant treatment, TMJ problems, trauma treatment, sleep apnea treatment, implant supported dentures, and full mouth reconstruction.
Dentistry is an extremely complex and multifactorial profession. It is so complex that there are nine specialties as well as numerous other certifications available for dentists that would like to continue their education after dental school. The result of the complexity is that certain procedures and treatments can be best accomplished by a specialist who has higher levels of training in these complex cases.
Dr. Nawrocki completed a one-year fellowship in prosthodontics at the University of Florida. After completing this, Dr. Nawrocki furthered his training by completing a three-year residency in prosthodontics, receiving a specialist certificate in prosthodontics and a master's degree in dental science (MS). In May 2012, Dr. Nawrocki passed his prosthodontic written boards, becoming board-certified eligible.
Dr. Matthew Nawrocki currently lives in Jacksonville Beach with his wife Kandi, their two sons Bruce and Henry, and daughter Caroline. Dr. Nawrocki enjoys spending time with his family, friends, and stays in shape with Crossfit.
He attended the University of Florida and received his bachelor of science degree in chemistry. He followed this by attending the University of Florida College of Dentistry, receiving his doctor of dental medicine (DMD).

I'd definitely make sure Dr. Mathew Nawrocki is in your dental plans network because if they aren't they won't tell you even if you ask them if they take your insurance because oh yeah they do take your insurance, but you'll be paying out of network fees which cost you more. Any other dentist I've contacted that wasn't in our network has let me know. They fixed a crown I had that came off, but they didn't fix it right and charged me over $1,300 for it. I have an x-ray to prove this, but I can't file a complaint with the Florida Board of Dentistry (technically the health department) because they don't investigate fee or billing disputes. I'd have to hire a lawyer to fight this which would probably cost me more in lawyer fees. So now I have to pay about the same amount to get it fixed right. There should be some kind of law that protects consumers from dentists who do this. They also gave me a hard way to go when I asked them to send my x-rays to an in network dentist. The in network dentist had to finally contact them and give them their email address so they didn't have a choice but to send them. I wouldn't even give this dentist a one star to be truthful.

I would never ever recommend anyone to this dentist!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dr. Nawrocki pulled my last upper tooth on the RT side. To find out Dr. Nawrocki left part of the tooth there so I had to get that pulled. I can go on but not worth it! God sitting high and looking low!!!

Best dentist in the Orange Park area! The staff is always so welcoming upon arrival, making you feel comfortable unlike other dentist visits. Always in and out for a routine cleaning in under an hour, thanks to the help of the amazing hygienists. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist!

Dr. Nawrocki has been my dentist for the last 10+ years. I have been very pleased with all treatment I have received in his office. His knowledge of dental treatment far exceeds all dental treatment I have had in the past. I split a tooth and it was doomed by another dentist. Dr. Nawrocki did a crown prep, sent me for a root canal, and my tooth has been great ever since. His staff is the best! They are ALL knowledgeable and make a nervous patient like me feel at ease. I would highly recommend Dr. Nawrocki to everyone I know.

I highly recommend Dr. Nawrocki's office. He and his staff did everything in their power to make each of my visits a positive experience and that is saying a lot. I have dental phobia and would rather have my fingernails removed than walk into a dentist office. It started with getting my teeth cleaned with Ruth, which made for a nice introduction to this dentist office. At the beginning of my second visit, Sharon, dental assistant, was kind and considerate, creating a calm environment. Throughout my procedure, Dr. Nawrocki and Sharon would stop the process for short intervals, making sure I was doing okay. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness of Dr. Nawrocki, Sharon and his front office staff toward my fear of dentistry. Again I highly recommend making Dr. Nawrocki your dentist of choice.
