Dr Joshua R Lovelace
DMD, MS
Dr. Joshua Lovelace grew up in Jupiter, Florida where going to the beach or fishing on a boat was mandatory almost every weekend. So, it was an easy transition to the Nocatee area and all its outdoor family fun. He enjoys spending his weekends now at the Spray or Splash parks and countless other activities with his wife, Alexis, and two daughters, Mackenzie and Reese. The Nocatee community welcomed the Lovelace family in 2020 and inspired them to open a family centered practice right in the heart of Nocatee. They strive to give patients that same welcoming feeling they continue to receive from residents in this great community.

Polished professional and quality oriented care. Patient oriented and consumer friendly. Thank you for your great teamPosted on Laurel WoerheideTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Lovelace. I had an accident and chipped my tooth pretty badly on a Sunday, which is about the worst timing possible, and I was pretty stressed about it. He was able to see me right away and fix it, which honestly felt like a huge relief. From the moment my husband and I arrived, I felt at ease and knew I was in good hands. He has a very calm and reassuring approach, and he took the time to explain what he was doing in a way that felt clear without being overwhelming. It was obvious he knows exactly what he’s doing, and he also makes a real effort to keep you comfortable. The whole process ended up being quick and painless. The result was excellent. You would never be able to tell anything had happened, which really speaks to the level of care and attention he puts into his work, especially in an emergency situation. He’s also been my regular dentist for a while and has done multiple fillings for me. Every visit has been consistently positive, with high quality work and no issues. It makes a big difference having a dentist you can genuinely trust, and he is easily the best dentist I've ever had! It is not often you find someone this skilled who is also willing to go out of their way to help when it really matters. I am very grateful to have found him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone.Posted on Stacey HarrisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best dental experience I’ve ever had. The nicest staff and cleanest office. Dr Lovelace was very engaged and friendly. 5 star ⭐️ all the way!Posted on Christine GilbertoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. No one likes to go to the dentist but Dr. Lovelace & staff make it almost enjoyable, from the friendly attitudes, great explanations of care, and accommodating scheduling. Plus the music they play can’t be beat!Posted on JIM ROSSITrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First visit to Lovelace Family Dentistry and from the front desk, dental hygienist Christina and Dr. Lovelace it was like being home. I explained that I previously been seeing another dentist locally and was not pleased with the aggressive treatment plan that they tried to push each time I went to their office. Dr. Lovelace did X-rays and an exam and told me what his recommendations were and explained why this work was needed to be done and actually will try to do the most conservative method before jumping into an involved procedure. I will definitely return for the work he suggested. Extremely professional and welcoming practice.Posted on Roxanne StarbuckTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So happy to have found a true”family practice “. Had previously been to a couple different franchise type offices and felt like the main goal at the franchise was to upsell!
