As we age, maintaining a strong, confident smile becomes even more important. For many seniors in Jacksonville, missing teeth can make eating, speaking, and smiling more difficult — but modern dental implant technology offers a permanent, natural-looking solution. At CJ Henley, DMD, we specialize in dental implants for seniors, helping our patients restore function, confidence, and quality of life.

Why Dental Implants Are Ideal for Seniors

Unlike dentures or removable bridges, dental implants replace both the visible tooth and the root structure. This provides unmatched stability and prevents bone loss that can age the face and make dentures slip or shift.

Benefits of dental implants for seniors include:

  • Secure, comfortable fit — no slipping or clicking

  • Easy maintenance — brush and floss like natural teeth

  • Restores full chewing ability for a balanced diet

  • Helps preserve jawbone and facial structure

  • Long-lasting solution with proper care

Whether you’re missing one tooth, several teeth, or need full-arch dental implants, our Jacksonville office offers advanced options tailored to your needs.

Types of Implants for Older Adults

At CJ Henley, DMD, we provide a range of implant solutions suitable for seniors:

  1. Single-Tooth Implants – Perfect for isolated gaps.

  2. Implant-Supported Bridges – Replace multiple missing teeth with fewer implants.

  3. Full-Arch or “All-on-4” Implants – Secure a complete set of teeth using as few as four implants per arch.

  4. Implant-Retained Dentures – Combine the stability of implants with the affordability of dentures.

Our team evaluates bone density, health history, and goals to recommend the best approach.

Are Seniors Good Candidates for Dental Implants?

Absolutely. Age alone is not a barrier to dental implant success. In fact, studies show success rates for implants in patients over 65 are comparable to younger adults.
What matters most is overall health, bone quality, and oral hygiene. Even patients with bone loss may qualify through bone grafting or advanced implant techniques like zygomatic or mini implants.

  1. Comprehensive Consultation – 3D imaging and detailed evaluation.

  2. Treatment Planning – Custom plan designed for your smile and budget.

  3. Implant Placement – Performed with precision and comfort in mind.

  4. Restoration – Final crown, bridge, or denture attached for a natural look and feel.
