What dental services do you offer in Jacksonville?

CJ Henley, DMD, PA provides cosmetic dentistry (veneers, smile makeovers, whitening, bonding, gum contouring), restorative and implant dentistry (crowns, bridges, implants, full-mouth rehabilitation), family and preventive dentistry (exams, cleanings, diagnostics), and dental support for head and neck cancer patients.

Do you offer porcelain veneers and smile makeovers?

Yes. We offer porcelain veneers and smile makeovers with an emphasis on facial harmony, bite considerations, and natural aesthetics. Each case is planned carefully to support long-term stability and results that don’t look artificial.

Can you fix or redo veneers or cosmetic dentistry done elsewhere?

Yes. We frequently evaluate and correct cosmetic dentistry that failed due to poor treatment planning, material selection, or execution. Redo cases focus on identifying the cause of the problem and rebuilding both aesthetics and function for a more natural, long-lasting outcome.

Do you provide dental implants?

Yes. We provide implant dentistry and implant-supported restorations, along with comprehensive restorative options such as crowns and bridges. Treatment planning considers bone health, bite mechanics, and long-term stability.

Do you offer family and preventive dentistry?

Yes. We provide preventive care for all ages, including exams, cleanings, digital imaging, and long-term monitoring. Our goal is to catch issues early and keep your oral health stable over time.

Do you see head and neck cancer patients for dental care?

Yes. We provide dental evaluations and support for head and neck cancer patients, including pre-treatment planning, management of oral complications associated with radiation or chemotherapy, and long-term dental rehabilitation when appropriate.

How do I know which cosmetic or restorative option is right for me?

The best option depends on your goals, tooth structure, bite forces, and long-term risk factors. During a consultation, we review your concerns and create a plan based on careful diagnosis, material selection, and the level of change you want—whether that’s whitening, bonding, aligners, veneers, or restorative treatment.

How long do veneers or cosmetic restorations typically last?

Longevity varies by case and habits, but well-planned cosmetic restorations made with high-quality materials and maintained appropriately often last 10–20 years or longer. Proper planning, bite stability, and home care are major factors in durability.

Redo Cosmetic Dentistry

Replacing failed or unnatural veneers, crowns, and bonding

Redo cosmetic dentistry means replacing veneers, crowns, or bonding that failed or never looked right. A significant share of our cosmetic consultations are redo cases. Before rebuilding anything, we identify why the original work failed (bite forces, tooth preparation, material choice, or gum health) so the same problem isn't repeated.

Bonding that stains, chips, or lacks translucency
Improper tooth proportions or uneven gum lines

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of dentist is Dr. CJ Henley?

Dr. Christopher J. "CJ" Henley, DMD, is a general dentist in San Marco, Jacksonville, FL. His practice focuses on cosmetic and restorative dentistry and on dental care for patients with head and neck cancer and complex medical conditions.

Why do I need to see a dentist before radiation for head and neck cancer?

Radiation to the head and neck permanently reduces saliva and blood supply to the jawbone, which raises the risk of rapid tooth decay and osteoradionecrosis. A pre-radiation dental evaluation identifies teeth that should be treated or removed first, ideally allowing about two weeks of healing before radiation begins, and sets up a lifelong prevention plan that often includes custom fluoride trays.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

Well-planned porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years or longer. Longevity depends on preparation design, material choice, bite forces, and home care. Clenching or grinding without a night guard is a common cause of early failure.

Can failed veneers or bonding be redone?

Yes. Failed or unnatural-looking veneers and bonding can usually be replaced. The first step is determining why the original work failed, such as bite problems, poor preparation, or the wrong material, so the new restorations are designed to avoid the same outcome.

Do osteoporosis or GLP-1 medications affect dental treatment?

They can. Some osteoporosis medications carry a small risk of jaw bone complications after extractions or oral surgery, and GLP-1 medications can contribute to dry mouth and to enamel erosion when nausea or vomiting occurs. Always tell your dentist about every medication you take.

What happens at a new patient visit?

New patient visits last about two hours and include a review of your dental and medical history, X-rays as needed, a comprehensive exam, a professional cleaning, and time with Dr. Henley to discuss findings and next steps.

Where is CJ Henley, DMD, PA located?
