Howard Jay Schare, DMD

Dental care in downtown Jacksonville doesn’t always mean a standalone practice—sometimes it’s part of a larger clinical setting. Howard Jay Schare, DMD operates within the Faculty Clinic, a multi-specialty hub on the third floor of 653 8th St W. This isn’t a strip-mall dentist or a suburban office park setup; the location places it squarely in the mix of medical professionals and academic-affiliated services near UF Health Jacksonville. For patients who prefer a more institutional environment—or those already visiting the area for other healthcare needs—the setup offers a streamlined way to handle routine cleanings, fillings, or more involved procedures like crowns and extractions.

The address’s proximity to the historic Springfield neighborhood means it’s an easy detour for residents who work downtown but live in the older, tree-lined streets nearby. While the clinic itself doesn’t advertise walk-in availability, scheduling is handled directly—just call (904) 244-2000 to coordinate. First-time visitors can map the route via the building’s third-floor entrance, where signage for the Faculty Clinic directs patients to the dental wing.
