Comfortable and Pain-Free Root Canal Therapy in Jacksonville

Se Habla Español!
If you feel tooth pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration, or swollen gums, you may have a root canal infection.
These infections occur when a tooth has extensive decay, multiple dental procedures, or has a crack, chip, or other trauma.
If you encounter any of these symptoms, the dentists at Mandarin Dental Care can plan a course of treatment to get you back to full health and comfort.
No one wants to have a root canal, but root canal treatment can help keep your permanent tooth as opposed to having the tooth pulled. Mandarin Dental Care strives to make our root canal treatments as pain-free as possible - our goal is to relieve your pain.
Patient Comfort is Our Number One Priority
Our dentists thoroughly explain each step of a root canal to you and will discuss your anesthetic options.
We are committed to providing the best care possible before, during, and after your treatment.
We Want Your Whole Family to Have a Healthy Smile!
Call us today for an appointment!
Benefits of a Root Canal Treatment
There are many benefits to a root canal treatment, but saving the tooth is the most important of all.
Tooth extractions can take longer than a root canal due to the follow-up appointments needed for a denture, bridge, or implant. The cost may also be lower since most dental insurance plans cover root canal treatments.
Your dentist will place a crown or perform another restoration procedure to protect the tooth and restore it to full function after your root canal. Crowns look and function like your natural teeth. This can often be done at the same appointment for the root canal which means you only need to be numbed once.
After a root canal, you can maintain your natural smile
and have peace of mind knowing the tooth can last a lifetime.

Krantz Dental Care is full of wonderful, kind and courteous staff of people. They are very friendly and caring and I never have had a long wait.Office is clean, pristine and welcoming.
Lisa B.
Awesome friendly staff! Aindara Wynn did my cleaning the last couple of times I’ve been in and she is the best! Gentle, quick, and super friendly- she has a way to put you at ease. I would definitely recommend Krantz Dental Care!
Maria Nicholson P.
I’ve been a patient since 2002. Very professional staff and super friendly. They always make you feel at ease.
Roger D.
My husband and I continue to have great dental care with Krantz Dental. Our care was arranged for both of us so that we didn't have to make two trips . And it was worth the trip. Great care all around .Carla & Roger D.
Chris M.
10/10 recommend. Everyone there is very nice, patient, I had no pain whatsoever getting a wisdom tooth removed. I went in just to get checked and they re-arranged their schedule just so I wouldn't have to leave with a tooth causing me numerous problems. Best dentist I've gone to.
Cameron M.
Extremely friendly staff!! Always make me feel welcomed and comfortable, and you can tell they genuinely care! My technician (Aindra?) was very sweet and professional, and made the visit even better than it already was.
Hollie A.
Very professional and makes you feel relaxed. Does not suggest dental work that is unnecessary. I would highly recommend Dr. Krantz and staff!!
Caroline K.
Aindara gave me a great cleaning and only made me bleed minimally as I had been neglecting my teeth since the last cleaning. She is very attentive with rhe suctioning tool. Great experience!
Jan G.
I have been going to Dr. Krantz‘s office since 2005 and have always received great service! Everyone in that office is so friendly and professional – they all do a great job!
Ken T.
Always on schedule and great dental care!
Glen K.
Been seeing Dr Krantz almost 10 years now. He and his staff are always excellent. Pat is my hygienist and also does a great job. She just used some baking soda spray on my teeth and they look better than they've looked in a long time. Couldn't be happier with a dental practice!!!
Madison G.
I always love Krantz! They always make me feel so welcomed and comfortable. The staff is extremely nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. I am very thankful for everyone that works here!😁
Samantha M.
This place totally eliminated my fear of the dentist! My previous dentist was so insensitive and all they cared about was money but Krantz Dental eased my fear and anxiety from the moment I stepped thru the door on my first appointment! I love how they sat down with me and discussed my treatment plan & pricing with me in a language I actually understood...no technical terms! Krantz Dental is so worth driving across town for!
Jack S.
Oh my god these people so great I want to go to the dentist everyday this great Seba was awesome she needs a raise
Minou Vakili H.
I am a patient ever since I moved to Florida in 1998. The patient care in this dentist office is outstanding. The staff is professional and each and every time you go there, you have the feeling of not just being another patient. They make you feel comfortable and truly being cared for. You always get in, when your appointment time is. In all of these years I had only two different dental hygienists, which shows that the working environment must be exceptionally great. These days I am seeing Rim and I could not be any happier with the treatments I am getting. Dr. Krantz and all of his staff are just AMAZING!Thank you for all you do for me and my whole family.
Bill Van Riper I.
3/3/22. Received dental cleaning & perio maintenance from Pat, the hygienist whom I have been seeing at my appointments over the past several years. Pat is a personable lady whose manner puts you at ease and minimizes any discomfort one might feel during the procedures. The practice is now named Mandarin Dental Care, the former owner being Dr. Krantz, whom I trusted for many years. Some of the billing and reminder messages still carry his name instead of that of the new practice. Thankfully, the efficiency of the office staff and skill of the dental professionals is unchanged. Highly recommended.
Karen Wonders H.
Always professional, timely service with caring staff.
Deborah S.
I am new to the area and selected this dental office based on location. Much to my surprise the dentist and his staff were top notch in everything they did. The office staff is friendly, efficient, and helpful. The hygienists receive a high grade from me and Dr. Blimbaum evaluated my needs and provided me with a sound follow up plan. I highly recommend this office for treatment
Kathy C.
I had my first procedure recently (crown & filling) since I became a new patient! So far I’ve had a great experience with Dr Krantz and his staff (dental assistant & hygienist). Unfortunately it’s never pleasant going to the dentist...but when you have professional & nice staff to work with you it makes everything a little better! Plus the office is only 10 minutes away from my work!! 😉
Delsie LeAnne D.
1st off I am the biggest coward when it comes to Dentist. Over the weekend I cracked a tooth & fortunately for me I was recommended to Dr Krantz by Jenn Mathews. I can't begin to tell you how thankful I am that I actually went with this recommendation. The staff ( Seba & Dr Patel ) that dealt with me ( bless their hearts...I'm not the best patient ) immediately put my fears at ease. The tooth could not be saved & had to be extracted. I felt nothing to my surprise. It was pain free & they treated me with the utmost respect. I will not go to any another Dentist after my visit this morning. Proud to say I have found myself a new Dentist. Thank you Dr Kratz for hiring such exceptional employees.
Sai G.
Our family had a chance to visit there because a friend of mine works there. The clinic is in a nice location and the staffs are friendly. Aindara Wynn was our hygienist, and she provided the best dental services for all three of us including our lovely 3 yrs old daughter, and she also loves to be in the clinic. The doctors are very nice and friendly either, and they only recommend to do things that are in actual need. No extras. Overall it is great to be there, and we will definitely be there for the next upcoming schedules.
Sherry Fisher L.

I have been a patient of Krantz Dental for many, many years. When it comes to cleanings, I am a big chicken as I have sensitive teeth. Amy is the BEST....she always puts my mind at ease. Everyone is so very cordial, from the moment you walk in the door to the minute you leave. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dental team.
Keyana D.
I️ recently moved to the area and desperately needed my semi annual cleaning. Since they were close and in network I️ thought I️ would give them a try. I️ didn’t expect much but they are by far the best dentist office I️ have ever gone to! They are kind patient and they really care about you, your day and how you feel. Plus they are efficient and it’s an added bonus to get a carnation after every visit! I’ll recommend them to everyone!

Just returned from Krantz Dental after having a tooth extracted. Because of my fear of dentist I neglected my teeth until it became an urgent situation. What a wonderful office. Dr Patel and Re made me feel so comfortable and the staff at the front desk were very welcoming. I have already recommended you to my two sisters. Thanks again..see you soon.
Lou Ann A.
Krantz’s Dental really takes care of their patients and from the time you arrive until you leave their team is pleasant and caring! Thank you!Aindara was terrific! She was extremely polite and personable. She also patiently described the process of the X-rays, pictures and photos. She was also sympathetic to my mouth’s sensitivity and took great care. After the cleaning she answered my questions. Thanks Aindara!
Darren L.
First appointment with Krantz dental care today and I couldn’t be happier with having found this place. First impressions are important to me and theirs couldn’t have been better. The office staff are friendly, polite, well mannered and clear in their communication. I was seen promptly according to my appointment time, something that is becoming an increasing rarity in today’s society. At all points during the initial visit, I was made to feel comfortable and always offered additional explanation if I so desired for clarity. Their scheduling is extremely painless and couldn't be happier.
Jeff J R.
Pat is a wonderful Dental Hygienist!! ❤️

Eric K.
My family and I have been part of the Krantz family for many years. Is the staff professional and friendly? Definitely. Are the doctors and hygienists extremely talented and provide excellent service and results? Undoubtedly so! Krantz Dental is more than that though.They are accommodating in every way! Need an early morning appointment? No problem, they’ll schedule you in for 6am. Need a late appointment? No problem, 6pm appointments available as well! They are open on Saturdays too! Need braces? They do that. Need tooth extraction? Yep they do that. Need crowns or teeth whitening? You guessed it, available here! Krantz treats you like family. They help you develop an action plan for your dental health that fits into your budget. Patience with your children is standard and making them comfortable is a high priority. The staff is lighthearted, fun-loving, and always in a positive frame of mind. They care about you and want to see only the best results!To say I recommend Krantz Dental Care is an understatement! You will not regret giving them an opportunity!
Michael N.
The service was excellent, and I left feeling refreshed and treated quite well. My smile was brighter too!

Always nice, efficient and great dental care. Makes keeping your mouth healthy easy.
Jessica F.
Wow! Were they all amazing! From the moment I walked in, when they greeted me so warmly, to the moment I left, when they offered me a flower to take home. This is how an office should be run. Dr. Krantz is the most knowledgable dentist I've found. He knows the industry inside and out and it is clear he has a high regard for his patients. He makes you feel as if you're his only patient. The hygienist was gentle and thorough. I needed to talk about some options for financing and the person I spoke with laid out all the options very clearly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking to be treated like a VIP, go to Krantz Dental Care!
Tanya B.
Dr. Krantz and his staff are awesome.

Rebecca C.
Mandarin Dental Care has a very friendly, caring & accommodating staff. Each visit is spent ensuring I'm comfortable throughout my time there, which is much appreciated. Each procedure and/or product used during the visit is also explained so I'm informed and able to ask questions or request changes. The front office staff is always smiling & eager to welcome me, regardless of the time of day. They truly care for their patients and provide extraordinary service. As long as I'm in Jacksonville, Mandarin Dental Care will keep my business!
Wanda H.
Awesome staff and doctors.
Sarah F.
Dr. Krantz is the best dentist I have ever had. I have had the pleasure of being his patient since 1997. He did a beautiful job on my 6 veneers, and I could not wish for a better staff! The office manager is so understanding and works with my every need, not only for myself but for my whole family. Mary is the best!!!
James D.
I broke a tooth last night. Dr. Krantz's office was able to see me this morning and provided a solid, temporary repair with several options for a permanent fix. Excellent service, as always.
Tammy Jo C.
I had been looking for a dentist that wasn't concerned with the cosmetic side of dentistry for my family. I found them. The office staff is very kind and compassionate. I also love the dentists they are conservative and treat you with respect and kindness. My children always brag on the hygienist. I always recommend Krantz Dental to everyone. It's wonderful to be treated as an individual and not a number.
Kathy N.
Went to Dr Krantz for my teeth cleaning. This was my first time as we are new to the area. The hygienist that cleaned my teeth was so kind. Dr Krantz is really nice. I felt so welcomed by all the staff! Highly recommend!
Carl M.
Both ladies were wonderful. Dentistry has been taken to another levelThank you so much
alan K.
I had a wonderful experience at Mandarin Dental care yesterday! I was warmly greeted at the front desk by Dixie and was escorted to the treatment room by Angelica. Angelica made sure I was completely comfortable and then placed some numbing gel in preparation for the doctor. Dr B came in and was warm and welcoming. He gave me absolutely painless injections and performed his procedures flawlessly!! Angelica made some incredibly lifelike temporary crowns and I have no discomfort or sensitivity at all after 2 crowns prepared and 2 filling replacements!!What an awesome experience!! Thank you to all of the team at Mandarin Dental Care 😁
Audra E. L.
It's not rare to find decent providers, but it's very rare to find a good provider who, along with the staff, are caring, competent, kind and loving people. I like that's it's not all about the money, there aren't recommendations for unnecessary tests or procedures, and they are understanding of their customers various financial abilities.
Barbara Hufford D.
I can’t say enough good things about Krantz Dental Care.
Kathy L.

The Dentist and their assistants are very knowledgeable and professional ❤️
Ashlee O.
I went in this morning to have a filling redone that had chipped. The previous filling was poorly done and as someone who takes very good care of their teeth I was not very happy. So I was recommended to Dr.Krantz office and not only does my tooth not even appear to have a filling any longer (oh but it does!) the entire experience and office was beyond wonderful. Can’t say enough.
DrChenita D C.
I have been with Dr. Krantz and staff for 3 years. I had an awesome dentist in Tallahassee and had serious reservations about the dental offices in Jacksonville. I thought that no dental office could replace the Tallahassee office. Dr. Krantz's office not only replaced my Tallahassee office - This office is the best. Dr. Krantz and staff are awesome. I actually love going to the dentist. In addition to the excellent care and service, I look forward to getting my flower. My visits are like a fabulous spa moment. Customer service is definitely #1.
Erin C.
Best dentist in town!! Only place I will ever go!! Great staff and great dr! Beautifully clean and everything is high tech. I highly recommend!!

I've been a patient for many years and always impressed with Dr. Krantz's staff. Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting Andrea, one of the hygenists. She is a delight! Friendly, courteous, thorough in her work and very gentle. Sweet, sweet, sweet personality. Thank you Andrea for a assisting with my successful six month check-up. Look forward to seeing you in six months!Also had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Patel for the first time. Kind, thorough and pleasant!

I love everything about this office, they are fast and super nice. I have seen Dr Patel and Dr Krantz and they are GREAT. Dr. Patel removed a lingering baby tooth and I had no pain or problems. (Thank you nitrous!) I had a cleaning and it was no where nearly as painful as other places I've gone to, they are really thorough but make it as painless as possible. The hygienists and front office staff are super sweet and Dr. Krantz came up with a treatment plan for me! I get to meet Dr. Young next and I'm sure he will be just as great!
Linda G.
Dr. Krantz did a wonderful job working on my tooth today. Seba and Dana are awesome assistants. Great team......I will be back 😉

Dr B was Amazing , He was very good at explaining what procedures needed to be done and very Patient. Dr B and his staff were amazing!
Sarah F.
My whole family has been going to Dr. Krantz for years. They are always so friendly and compassionate. I have had numerous dental issues come up and Dr. Krantz and his team have referred me to other great professionals or taken care of it themselves. I can't say enough great things about them. The whole office is amazing.

Carla W.
Aindara did an excellent job cleaning my teeth today. She's so very polite and friendly, just like the rest of your staff! Thankyou ❤
Rachel R.
3/2 was my first experience with Mandarin Dental and it was probably one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time. I have a lot of work that needs to be done on my teeth and Pat and the doctor explained everything well and they were very understanding of my financial situation. Pat also did an amazing job of cleaning my teeth, which, for me, is not something I have ever liked. Can’t wait for my future experiences here and to get my teeth fixed!
Maria M.
Great dr Krantz been with him for 15 years.
Brianna Lynn H.
Absolutely love coming here!!! Super sweet staff
Addie Bardic H.
Dr. Krantz & his staff are excellent!! Drove well over an hour to see him. A periodontist recommended him. Dr. Krantz is caring, genuine, & honest. If you live near, or far come here. You won’t be disappointed. A little drive is better than getting ripped off, or bad dental work. Thank you so much!
Stephanie D.
My daughters and I absolutely love everyone at Krafts Dental. Very nice and I love the way they communicate with the patients about visits.
