Welcome to Lazzara Orthodontics

Where You’re Made to Feel at Home

Your Orthodontist in Jacksonville Beach & Nocatee

Lazzara Orthodontics is designed to feel like your place, where you’re welcomed in, well cared for, and given the time and attention you deserve.

As a privately owned, legacy practice, we’ve spent years thoughtfully refining how we care for our patients.

The goal is simple: to create an experience so positive, you might actually miss coming in when it’s over.

A 5-Star Experience

We take the time to get every detail right, so the difference isn’t just something you hear about.

It’s something you feel.

Feels Like Home

From the way you're greeted to the way you're treated, our goal is to make you feel at home.

Service That Stands Out

From your first visit to your final retainer check, every interaction is handled with care and genuine attention.

Expertise You Can Rely On

Two board-certified orthodontists collaborate on your care, bringing a level of experience and perspective few practices can offer.

Time That’s Truly Yours

Appointments stay on schedule, and you’re given the time and attention to feel confident every step of the way.

Here for the Long Term

Privately owned and deeply rooted in this community. We’re not going anywhere, and neither is your care team.

A Glimpse Inside Our Practice

Questions? We're happy to help.

Why do families choose Lazzara Orthodontics?

Families throughout Jacksonville Beach and Nocatee/Ponte Vedra choose Lazzara Orthodontics because we combine exceptional orthodontic care with an experience that truly feels different.

As one of the only practices in the Jacksonville area with two ABO-Board Certified orthodontists, we pair advanced expertise with personalized service, modern technology, and a welcoming environment designed to make every family feel at home.

What does it mean that your orthodontists are ABO-Board Certified?

Not every orthodontist chooses to pursue ABO-Board Certification. Earning this distinction demonstrates a commitment to rigorous standards, ongoing education, and clinical excellence beyond specialty training. At Lazzara Orthodontics, both of our orthodontists are ABO-Board Certified, giving you confidence that your smile is being planned by doctors committed to the highest level of care.

What happens during my complimentary consultation?

Your complimentary consultation includes a comprehensive smile evaluation, digital imaging if needed, a one-on-one visit with a Board Certified orthodontist, and a personalized treatment plan. Whether you visit our orthodontic office in Jacksonville Beach or Nocatee/Ponte Vedra, we’ll answer your questions, explain your options, and give you the clarity to move forward with confidence.

Do you offer braces and clear aligners?

Yes! We offer modern braces and clear aligners for children, teens, and adults. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the treatment that best fits your smile, lifestyle, and goals.

Can I get a second opinion?

Absolutely. If you’ve already visited another orthodontist, we’re happy to provide a complimentary second opinion.

We’ll explain your options clearly, answer your questions, and help you feel confident in whichever treatment you choose.

Do you accept insurance and offer financing?

Yes. We accept most PPO dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment options, including 0% in-house financing for qualified patients.

Our team will also file your insurance claims and help you understand your benefits.

Why choose a privately owned orthodontic practice?

As a privately owned practice, we’re able to focus on what’s best for our patients, not corporate quotas. Since 2007, we’ve built long-term relationships with local families by providing consistent, personalized care from a team that’s here to stay.

What ages do you treat?

We provide orthodontic treatment for children, teens, and adults. Whether your child is ready for their first orthodontic evaluation or you’re interested in braces or clear aligners as an adult, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan just for you.

Do you serve patients outside of Jacksonville Beach?

Yes! We proudly serve patients from Jacksonville Beach, Nocatee, Ponte Vedra Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Intracoastal West, San Pablo, and surrounding communities through our two convenient orthodontic offices.

Can I start treatment on my first visit?

In many cases, yes. If you’re ready to begin treatment and your smile is a good candidate, you may be able to start braces or clear aligners on the same day as your complimentary consultation, saving you an extra trip to the office.

When should my child first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation around age 7.

At Lazzara Orthodontics, these early visits allow us to monitor growth, identify developing concerns, and recommend the right time to begin treatment if needed.
