Clay County Orthodontist · 32065

Orthodontist in Oakleaf Plantation.

Oakleaf Plantation has grown from a new Clay County master-planned community into one of our most active patient bases. Oakleaf High and the surrounding Oakleaf Village neighborhoods send us more teen patients every year than almost any other Clay County feeder, a 10-minute drive down 295 and south on 17. The fastest route from the heart of Oakleaf Village is Old Jennings Rd east to I-295 south, exit onto US-17, and then a couple of minutes south to Business Center Dr. Families further west in Plantation Oaks and The Preserve sometimes prefer Argyle Forest Blvd to Blanding to County Road 220, which is the same 10–12 minutes without touching the interstate. The reason Oakleaf families pick our specialist office over a Jacksonville Westside practice is the direction of traffic: every Jacksonville orthodontist past Argyle pulls you north and east into Westside congestion, while we are due south on 17, against the afternoon flow. Our parking lot is uncongested at 3:30 when the Roosevelt corridor is gridlocked. The math favors south.

Why Oakleaf Plantation chooses Oasis, fig. 02

Built around Oakleaf Plantation.

We did not parachute into Clay County. We have been here since 1997, treating Oakleaf Plantation families ten minutes up the road.

Oakleaf is where Clay County’s growth has been most visible in the last decade, and our new-patient volume from Oakleaf High and the feeder schools has grown right alongside it. We’ve streamlined our Oakleaf appointment flow, most Oakleaf teens come straight from school with one parent, and our after-school slots are built around that pattern. A typical Oakleaf family runs like this: an Oakleaf High junior gets out at 2:25, mom picks her up at the senior lot in front of the gym, they take Old Jennings to 295 south, and they’re in our chair by 2:50. The mom answers email from our waiting area for fifteen minutes, the daughter is back in the car by 3:10, and they’re home in Forest Hammock before the younger brother’s bus pulls in. Carpool groups are common here, three neighbors’ kids from the same Plantation Oaks cul-de-sac all need adjustments in the same month, one parent does the driving for the whole week, and we line up consecutive 15-minute slots on a Wednesday afternoon. Oakleaf families are organized, and we’ve adjusted our scheduling to match.

From Oakleaf Village, take I-295 south to US-17, then south to our Fleming Island office on Business Center Dr. Most Oakleaf families arrive in 10–12 minutes. Plantation Oaks and Forest Hammock families usually hit 10 minutes exactly. We hold peak afternoon slots (3–5 PM) for Oakleaf High and Junior students.

A representative sample of recent verified reviews from across our patient base. Some reviewers reference our former name, the practice rebranded to Oasis Orthodontics on May 1, 2026.

I cannot say enough about how amazing this entire practice is. I have been coming here since my first born son got his braces and he is now 31 years old. All 7 of my children have had their braces here, and I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else. The entire office is kind, patient and always happy, you can tell by their demeanor that it is a fantastic place to work. All 3 doctors are funny, and very knowledgeable. They are very easy going and take their time with everyone, both parents and patients. I would never choose any other orthodontist than Aiosa, Hoffman and Montoya.Amy M. · Multi-generational
Our daughter is a patient at Aiosa and Hoffman. She has a very complicated, 3 to 4 year ortho treatment plan (poor thing) and other practices didn’t want to take her on and referred us to A&H. We’re a little over a year in and couldn’t be happier. They’re courteous, friendly, and quick. All our questions get answered and best of all, our anxious 12 year old daughter leaves happy. Highly recommend them.Nicholas B. · Complex case · Phase 2

Two specialists. One waiting room.

Both ortho-residency trained. Both at every adjustment, every consultation, every retainer fitting.

Questions, fig. 06

Orthodontist in Oakleaf Plantation. FAQ.

Is there an orthodontist in Oakleaf Plantation?
Oakleaf has general dentists and some ortho-adjacent providers, but Oasis is the nearest specialist orthodontic practice with two ortho residency-trained doctors. Most Oakleaf families reach us in 10 minutes.
Can you coordinate with Oakleaf High School schedules?
Yes. We reserve 3–5 PM appointment blocks Monday through Thursday for Oakleaf High and Junior students. Friday is reserved for Oakleaf game-day conflicts during football season.
My kids carpool with neighbors to Oakleaf schools, can you book sibling/family-group appointments?
Absolutely. Family-group and carpool-group appointments (multiple kids from the same neighborhood, same time slot) are one of the most common things we schedule. Just mention it when you call.
What’s the drive like from Oakleaf on I-295 during afternoon school pickup?
The Old Jennings to I-295 stretch backs up briefly around 2:30–3:00 when Oakleaf High and Oakleaf Junior dismiss together. The interstate itself is fine going south, the congestion is the on-ramp from Argyle. A 10-minute drive becomes 14 in that window. We hold 3:45 and later slots for families who would rather let the rush clear.
What’s the closest pharmacy if my Oakleaf student needs wax or ibuprofen between appointments?
The Walgreens at the corner of Old Jennings and Argyle Forest carries orthodontic wax and the children’s ibuprofen we recommend. The CVS at the Oakleaf Village Town Center stocks the same items. Either is a five-minute detour on the way home from our office.
How far is Oasis Orthodontics from Oakleaf Plantation?
Our office at 1530 Business Center Dr, Suite 2, Fleming Island is approximately a 10 min drive from Oakleaf Plantation. Most Oakleaf Plantation families arrive in under 15 minutes, no bridges, no I-295.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most major dental and orthodontic insurance plans. Call us at (904) 215-0980 and we will verify your benefits at no charge before your visit.
What age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. Our Orthodontic Specialists can identify developing issues early and determine if intervention would be beneficial.
Is the consultation really complimentary?
Yes. Your initial consultation is complimentary with no obligation. You will receive a comprehensive evaluation and a personalized treatment plan with transparent pricing.
