At the heart of the practice, Family Comprehensive & Family Dentistry, are our two Jacksonville dentists. Through their dental expertise, education, philosophy, and patient-centered approach, they provide unrivaled dental care to thousands of families in and around Jacksonville.
Edward G. Covert, D.D.S.
Dr. Edward G. Covert earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Case Western Reserve University in 1995 and has been practicing at Family Comprehensive and Cosmetic Dentistry since 2014. He began focusing on treating sleep-related breathing issues in 2023 and is deeply passionate about improving the lives of individuals affected by sleep-related breathing disorders, including sleep apnea. Together with his team, he is committed to making a meaningful impact in this often overlooked field.
Dr. Covert is a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), the leading national organization for dentists who treat sleep-related breathing disorders like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring. As a member of the AADSM, he has access to ongoing education and resources that support him in providing the best possible care for his patients.

Dr. Covert enjoys anything related to physical fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. When not improving smiles and the oral health of Jacksonville residents, you’ll find him with his family.
Andrew W. Ambrose, D.M.D., FICOI
Andrew W. Ambrose, D.M.D., FICOI, was born in Madison, Wisconsin, but he calls Jacksonville home. He and his family were stationed here while his father served in the United States Marine Corps in the early 1990s. Dr. Ambrose graduated high school in 2004 and then graduated with a biology degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Dr. Ambrose earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine in Charleston, South Carolina, in May 2014. Four years later, he received a Fellowship from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists for his extensive training in implant dentistry.
