Dental care for San Marco patients

Start with what matters to you.

You may be looking for a new dental home, exploring a change to your smile, or trying to understand a problem that has not been resolved. You do not need to know which treatment to ask for. Start with your concerns.

The person behind your care

Careful dentistry starts with understanding you.

Dr. C.J. Henley is a general dentist whose work includes cosmetic and restorative dentistry, oral medicine, and care for patients with complex medical histories.

Meet Dr. Henley

Your goals, dental history, medications, and overall health belong in the same conversation. We take time to understand that picture before recommending treatment.

  • Doctor of Dental Medicine, University of Florida.
  • Member of the Head and Neck Tumor Board at Baptist MD Anderson.
  • Has served as faculty in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Florida College of Dentistry.
  • Past President of the Northeast District Dental Association and has served as a Delegate to the American Dental Association.

That experience informs how we evaluate, plan, and coordinate care. You should understand what we found, why a recommendation makes sense, and what alternatives are available.

Cosmetic & restorative dentistry

A smile that feels like you.

Thoughtful cosmetic care considers your face, tooth proportions, gums, and bite together. We discuss appearance alongside function, maintenance, and the health of your natural teeth.

Explore cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers, and examples in our before-and-after gallery.

When existing dental work does not feel right.

Veneers that seem bulky. Bonding that has chipped. A crown that looks out of place or a bite that feels different. These are reasons to take a closer look, not assume everything needs replacing.

We evaluate the restorations, underlying teeth, gums, and bite before discussing next steps. Depending on the findings, options may include monitoring, adjustment, repair, or replacement. The aim is a plan you understand, with realistic expectations about the result and its upkeep.

Explore the planning behind our clinical cases.


Your health is part of the plan

Dental care with the medical context.

If you are preparing for head and neck cancer treatment, recovering from radiation or chemotherapy, or managing a medical condition that affects dental care, tell us when you call. The timing and details of your medical treatment help guide the dental evaluation.

Our approach includes medical-history review, individualized planning, and coordination with physicians and dental specialists when appropriate.

Learn about dental care before and after head and neck cancer treatment, complex and medically involved care, and oral medicine and diagnosis.

Your first appointment

Time to listen.
Room for your questions.

New-patient appointments are typically scheduled for approximately two hours. That gives us time to review your history, evaluate your oral health, and talk through the findings with you.

First-visit details and patient forms

  1. Tell us what brings you in.

    Share your concerns, goals, medications, and relevant medical treatment. Let us know about previous dental difficulties or anxiety, too.

  2. Understand what we find.

    You will meet directly with Dr. Henley. The evaluation includes a review of your dental and medical history, an oral health examination, and imaging when needed. Learn how we approach digital X-rays and 3D imaging.

  3. Discuss the next step.

    We explain recommendations and appropriate alternatives so you can ask questions and make an informed decision. Bring a current medication list; if you complete forms at the office, plan to arrive about 15 minutes early.

Insurance & payment

Clarity about care.
Clarity about cost.

We file PPO dental insurance claims as an out-of-network provider. Benefits and reimbursement depend on your individual plan; filing a claim does not guarantee coverage.

Before scheduling, contact our team with your plan details and ask about the evaluation fee and payment arrangements. Before treatment, discuss the proposed care, estimated cost, and expected out-of-pocket responsibility.

You can also read our guides to out-of-network dental insurance and dental insurance after retirement.

Before you visit

A few things you may be wondering.

Can I come here for routine dental care?

Yes. Our practice provides preventive care, examinations, and cleanings as well as cosmetic and restorative dentistry. You do not need a complex dental problem to become a patient. See our new-patient information or call to ask about current availability.

I am changing dentists. What about my records and X-rays?

Contact our team before your appointment to discuss transferring records from your previous office. When suitable previous images are available, we review them before deciding whether additional imaging is needed. Bring your medication list and tell us about recent dental or medical treatment.

What if I am nervous about the appointment?

Tell us when you schedule. We can discuss your concerns, explain the visit, and plan for breaks. You can also ask about Snapper, our dental therapy dog. Availability depends on scheduling and whether a visit with Snapper is appropriate and welcome. Please mention allergies or a preference not to be around dogs.

Can I ask for another opinion about veneers or crowns?

Yes. If you are uncertain about existing work or a proposed treatment plan, contact us to arrange an evaluation. We will need to examine your teeth and review relevant records before making recommendations. Ask our team about appointment length and fees when scheduling.

I have upcoming cancer treatment. What should I tell you?

Call and let us know what treatment is planned, the anticipated start date, and who is coordinating your oncology care. That information helps us plan the dental evaluation and any needed communication with your medical team. Read more about our head and neck cancer dental care.
