Dental Implants in Jacksonville, FL

Facing life with a smile is hard when you're missing some or all of your teeth. Dental implants are an advanced, reliable, tooth replacement solution to help you chew better, feel better, and live healthier - all on your terms.

 Tooth Implants Jacksonville, FL

Overview

Our teeth play a major role in our daily lives. We use them to break pieces of food apart so that we can digest meals properly. They allow us to speak and communicate effectively by helping us form sounds and words. From an appearance standpoint, they help define how we smile, express emotion, and interact with people. But our teeth also affect our health. Poor dental hygiene can lead to a range of diseases and other concerns. In essence, our teeth are paramount to our emotional, physical, and social well-being.

It makes sense, then, that life gets harder when some or all of your teeth are missing. Unfortunately, missing teeth is a common issue in the United States. Almost one-third of Americans are missing teeth. In the next 15 years, half a billion Americans will need new pearly whites.

Whether due to genetics, accidents, or neglect, losing your teeth hurts - both emotionally and physically. And, up until now, it was unbelievably expensive to have them replaced.

Fortunately, with Renew's state-of-the-art dental implants in Jacksonville, FL, you can get a new set of teeth easier, faster, and healthier than ever before. The best part? You don't have to spend sports-car levels of money to get the full set of teeth you need.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a popular option for replacing missing teeth. Unlike some dental clinics that require multiple procedures, Renew's tooth replacement systems require just one surgical appointment. With regular care and professional cleaning from your dentist, your implants can last for the rest of your life.

Dental Implants 101

Dental implants are often the preferred choice for people considering total mouth restoration. Unlike temporary options, dental implants give you a permanent solution for preventing bone loss and renewing your smile. They're created using a small, threaded post that conforms to your jawbone over time. This fusion creates a double-strong anchor that secures your new teeth. Though dentures have a reputation for slipping and sliding in your mouth, dental implants always stay put. If you've been missing out on delicious flavor profiles or the chance to speak confidently, dental implants can be life-changing.

Typical dental implants are made up of three different parts:
Threaded Implant

Threaded Implant

You can think of this titanium screw as a new root for your teeth. It's anchored to your jaw during dental implant surgery.

Abutment

Abutment

An abutment is a small connector prosthetic that connects your dental implants and false teeth. You can think of an abutment as the foundation for your new teeth.

Crown

The crown of your new tooth is the visible part that you and others see in your mouth. Crowns are made using gorgeous materials and function just like other healthy teeth in your mouth.

Top Signs You Need Dental Implants in Jacksonville, FL

Dental implants can all but eliminate the need for repetitive dental work and dealing with missing teeth. Since they act like natural teeth roots, they stimulate your jaw, which prevents it from deteriorating. Plus, dental implants are placed with extreme care by experts, so you don't have to worry about damaging any healthy teeth. It's pretty clear that dental implants are great - but when do you need to get them? Here are a few common signs that you may be a good candidate.

One of the top reasons why people choose dental implants is that they're missing several or all of their teeth. Missing teeth can cause issues with self-consciousness and make it difficult to eat in general. Because dental implants replicate your natural teeth, they can help restore confidence and make eating easier and more enjoyable.

Missing-Teeth

Some people who have dentures, partials, or bridges still feel insecure about their smiles. And that's a shame because nobody should be embarrassed by their smile. If you feel that way, know this: You deserve to feel proud about your smile. Fortunately, dental implants can help. Dental implants can take your confidence to a whole new level. Those days and nights you spent refusing to smile for pictures... Forget about them. Better days are ahead when you have dental implants.

Insecurity

When you have missing teeth, it can be hard to indulge in your favorite foods. It seems like you're constantly on edge due to the pain and inconvenience. When you have dentures, you have to avoid a whole range of foods, like grilled meats and more. With dental implants from Renew you can have your steak and (literally) eat it, too.

Chew

One of the biggest downfalls of dental solutions like dentures is that they don't stimulate your jawbone. When your jawbone isn't stimulated correctly, you will eventually suffer from bone loss. This bone loss can create a sunken-in facial appearance. Dental implants fuse with your jawbone, providing the much-needed stimulus that prevents this from happening.

jawbone

If you or someone you know has had dentures, you know that using them and keeping them clean can be a hassle. After eating, you've got to take them out to be cleaned. Sometimes, you've got to apply denture adhesives to keep them in place. For most people, denture care is messy and monotonous. If you're sick of dealing with sticky adhesives and loose dentures in your mouth, you may want to consider dental implants.

What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

One of the biggest reasons why people choose dental implants is that they look, feel, and work like natural teeth. Dental implants provide several other benefits, including:

Restored Function

If you've lost some or all of your teeth, you're missing out on a slew of functions that make life easier. With dental implants, you benefit from the same functionality as natural teeth.

check-icon

You can bite into and chew tougher foods that you love, since your bite force is restored.

Dental implants fill in for missing molars, which helps you digest food better.

Dental Implant full mouth restoration options include both fixed removable and non-removable options. In both instances, you can brush just as you would with your natural teeth. With fixed removable solutions, the teeth can come out for extra cleaning and snap right back in. With fixed non-removable options, the teeth stay put and can not be removed, other than by a dental professional for deep cleaning.

 Implant Supported Dentures Jacksonville, FL

Reliability

Dental implants eliminate one of the biggest concerns that denture-wearers have: their teeth slipping out of their mouth accidentally in public. Unlike dentures, implants are placed securely in your jaw. That means you can eat, talk, smile, and laugh without having to be nervous.

 Full Mouth Restoration Jacksonville, FL

Lifetime Use

Some dental solutions for missing teeth only last for a few years. When cared for properly, dental implants can last for the rest of your life. Dental implants in Jacksonville, FL from Renew can cost up to 60% less than other dental implant options and come with a Lifetime Guarantee, making them an outstanding value.

 Multiple Tooth Implants Jacksonville, FL

Jaw Strength

When there are gaps in the jawbone due to missing teeth, the bone in those areas can start to weaken from lack of stimulation. If the empty space isn't addressed quickly, the bone can lose up to 25% of its volume and will continue to deteriorate over time. Dental implants stimulate your jaw again, which strengthens your jawbone and prevents it from deteriorating.

 Permanent Tooth Implants Jacksonville, FL

Avoid a Sunken-In Face

When your jawbone starts to deteriorate, the lower third part of your face can begin to sag or look sunken in due to bone loss. Because dental implants integrate with your jawbone and stimulate it daily, you can avoid a sunken facial appearance.

Talk and Eat Comfortably

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are often considered the "gold standard" solution. That's because they feel, function, and look like actual teeth. Because they replicate natural teeth, you can feast on your favorite foods. You can talk to strangers with confidence. Perhaps most importantly, you can flash that beautiful smile again without feeling embarrassed. Unlike Renew's full mouth reconstruction, traditional dentures limit your food choices, have to be replaced, and are generally more difficult to wear.

What is Full-Mouth Restoration?

logo-icon

A full mouth restoration, as the name suggests, involves rebuilding or replacing every tooth in your mouth. This procedure combines elements of dentistry and cosmetic surgery to restore both the function and structure of your teeth.

Your teeth are responsible for more than making your smile unique. They help you eat and communicate, too. When you lose your teeth, life changes. It's just that simple. Factors like poor dental care or mouth injuries can cause partial or complete tooth loss. In such situations, a dentist's goal is to restore your oral health and bring back your smile. At Renew, we do full dental replacements. They're not for everyone, but for those who need them, they're a great solution. But what does full mouth reconstruction entail? Let's dig in and find out.

A full-mouth reconstruction - also called a total or full-mouth restoration begins with extracting any remaining teeth before restoration can begin. If you have many missing teeth or your teeth are severely damaged or worn down, you may want to consider this procedure.

You may also want to think about full mouth restoration if you have specific dental conditions. For instance, amelogenesis, a disorder that causes teeth to develop in unusual shapes, and ectodermal dysplasia, which affects both skin and teeth, may require comprehensive reconstruction as you get older.

Dental Implants Jacksonville, FL

Dental implants can fully restore your mouth without needing to rely on dentures or bridges. As we covered above, dental implants consist of a titanium post that is implanted into your jawbone. As the process of osseointegration progresses, the surrounding wound heals, firmly anchoring the post in place. Teeth are attached to the implants, restoring both the appearance and function.

 Tooth Implants Jacksonville, FL

Did you know that one-tenth of people in the United States are missing all of their teeth? One of the most common reasons for missing teeth is tooth decay, a problem that affects many individuals, not just those who have lost teeth. While some of us may have had more dental fillings than others, we all continually battle against tooth decay.

Bacteria naturally inhabit our mouths, and when they feast on the sugars and starches from our food, they produce an acid that can harm our teeth. This acid gradually erodes the protective layer known as enamel. Once the enamel is compromised, the inner structures of our teeth can begin to decay. Keep an eye out for these signs of tooth decay:

  • Pain or Dull Aches
  • Sensitivity to Cold and Hot Temperatures
  • Sensitivity to Sweet Drinks and Foods
  • Pain
  • Swelling
  • Fever
  • Infection

When left untreated, tooth decay can rot your teeth and cause them to fall out. Along with tooth decay, be aware of these additional risk factors that cause your teeth to fall out.

Gum Disease

Gum disease and tooth loss often go hand-in-hand. Gum disease is a bacterial infection of the gums that can result in serious health problems. If the infection progresses, it can damage the bone that supports your teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss. You might notice swelling or redness in your gums, but often, the condition isn't painful, which means you might have it without even realizing it. If left untreated, gum disease can not only cause your teeth to fall out but also allow the infection to spread to other areas of your body.

A big cause of gum disease is from plaque accumulating on your teeth. Other factors that increase the likelihood of gum disease include:

  • Frequent Alcohol Consumption
  • Using Tobacco Products
  • Clenching or Grinding Your Teeth
  • Genetics
  • Poor Nutrition
  • Diabetes
  • Autoimmune Conditions and Diseases

Tooth Injuries

Losing your teeth due to an injury is a fairly common occurrence, especially for MMA fighters and boxers. But you don't have to be a combat sports athlete to lose your teeth. It can happen due to an injury, car accidents, accidents at work, or just getting hit in the face with a ball really hard, it doesn't take that much force to damage teeth and ruin someone's smile.

Missing teeth impact your oral health, but they also take a toll on your emotional and mental well-being. Ask yourself these questions:

  • Do you always turn down social gathering invitations?
  • Do you make it a point not to smile in photos?
  • Do you think you need to cover your mouth when you laugh to avoid embarrassment?

Renew's full mouth restoration can be the solution you've been searching for.

Steps of a Dental Implant Procedure

Have you ever wondered what's involved in a dental implant procedure and how long it takes? In the past, dental implant procedures were often considered long and painful. Today, dental implant surgeries are streamlined and tailored to your unique dental needs. At Renew, you can have new dental implants with a single surgery.

No, we're not pulling your leg. All it takes is one surgical appointment to get dental implants that feel, look, and function like natural teeth. By fixing your teeth on the same day as your surgery, treatment and recovery times are reduced. When your implant procedure is finished and you're fully healed, the sparkling-white teeth of your dreams become a reality. That crispy, juicy apple that's been calling your name? Go ahead and dig in. It's time to savor the flavor of life.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The annual Geminids meteor shower, one of the year’s most exciting meteor showers, is set to peak on the nights of December 13 through 14.

Under optimal conditions, stargazers could witness up to 100 meteors per hour streaking across the night sky. However, this year’s viewing will be tempered by the brightness of a full moon, which might wash out some of the dimmer meteors. Nevertheless, in areas with minimal light you can still capture some of the brighter fireballs.

For the best chance to see the meteor shower, find a dark sky location away from urban lights. Look toward the Gemini constellation, where the meteors often appear to radiate. Interestingly, many of these meteors may have a yellowish hue. The prime viewing time is after midnight, as the Earth rotates into the debris field responsible for the meteors.

Unlike most meteor showers, which are caused by debris from comets, the Geminids meteor shower originates from an asteroid—3200 Phaethon. This object is classified as an asteroid which is unusual for objects that create meteor showers. Some astronomers speculate that Phaethon could be a "dead comet" that has shed most of its volatile material after countless orbits around the Sun. When Phaethon passes near the Sun, it releases dust and rocky particles, creating the debris trail that Earth passes through every December.

Phaethon itself is a interesting object. It has an unusually close orbit to the Sun, approaching closer than any other named asteroid. This proximity causes it to heat up to extreme temperatures, leading to its unique behavior and contributing to the debris that forms the Geminids meteor shower. Due to how unusual those asteroid is and how close it passes to earth it has been studied, the Japan Space Agency (JAXA) in fact has a mission scheduled to launch to fly to the asteroid in 2028.

Meteor showers occur when Earth’s orbit intersects with a trail of debris left by a comet or, in the Geminids’ case, an asteroid. As these tiny particles enter Earth’s atmosphere at high speeds, they burn up due to friction, creating the bright streaks of light we call meteors. Each meteor shower is named after the constellation from which the meteors appear to radiate, known as the radiant point. For the Geminids, this point lies in the constellation Gemini.

If you manage to capture any stunning photos of the Geminids meteor shower, we’d love to see them! Share your images with our First Coast News Weather Watchers Facebook page to inspire others to look up and appreciate the wonders of the night sky.

UF Board of Trustees unanimously approves LaVilla site for new high-tech grad school campus in Jacksonville

Anne Maxwell, I-TEAM and general assignment reporter

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The University of Florida Board of Trustees unanimously approved a site in the LaVilla neighborhood for its new graduate campus on Friday.

The new graduate campus in Jacksonville, home to the Florida Semiconductor Institute, will be in the area surrounding the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center.

The first classes are planned to start by the fall of 2026.

“We are excited to partner with the University of Florida to make this campus a reality,” Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan said in a news release after the vote. “The City of Jacksonville is committed to being on the cutting-edge of workforce development and building a thriving downtown where our citizens can learn, live, work, and play. This campus and the degrees that will be offered are another monumental step towards Jacksonville being a national leader in the industries that will shape our collective future.”

The Fairgrounds near EverBank Stadium and the Downtown campus of FSCJ were also named as possible locations for the permanent campus. The Fairgrounds was not a likely option since Jaguars owner Shad Khan now owns that property.

The graduate campus will offer courses in artificial intelligence and technology. Semiconductors, more commonly known as microchips, are an essential component in the fabrication of electronic devices, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association.

UF will offer multiple graduate degrees and enroll up to 1,000 students.

The total cost to build the brand-new campus is expected to be around $300 million. The city of Jacksonville plans to give the school $50 million over the next four years.

The city said the school is part of a national effort to improve research and development of semiconductor chips, the building blocks that power defense and aerospace technology, smartphones, computers, automobiles, and many other products that are necessary for daily life.

Proponents say the work will lower the costs of the essential technology while improving America’s national security by reducing the reliance on foreign manufacturing. The school has received $80 million in state funding, and it’s expected there will be additional federal support.

“Our expansion into Jacksonville is exciting, especially as new companies continue to move to the area and look to hire outstanding talent,” said Interim UF President Kent Fuchs. “The workforce-oriented graduate programs we’ll be offering will help build tomorrow’s leaders and positively impact the state’s economy. Jacksonville – like UF – is on the forefront of innovation. This is a place where our students will create great change and help transform the industries of the future.”

The graduate degree offerings are currently being finalized. Programs being considered include a professional MBA program, a Master’s in Management with a concentration in AI, a Master’s in Engineering Management with a concentration in Data Analytics, a Master’s in Computer Science with concentrations in AI and Cybersecurity, a Master’s in the Study of Law, and a Master’s in AI in Biomedical and Health Sciences. Enrollment and course offerings will continue to grow in the years that follow.

The Deegan Administration said it will work with the Downtown Investment Authority and City Council to provide 22 buildable acres at the site to the University of Florida for the campus – with the goal of design, planning, and construction beginning as quickly as possible in 2025.

The city said the addition of the UF graduate campus will turbocharge the LaVilla neighborhood.

It joins a variety of projects that demonstrate the significant progress being made to revitalize downtown Jacksonville, such as the Pearl Square development from Gateway Jax, “Stadium of the Future,” Museum of Science and History, Four Seasons, Related Group and RiversEdge developments on the Southbank, completion of the Emerald Trail and riverfront park system, transit-oriented development planning around the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center, and the eventual return of passenger rail to downtown.

For being armed pot ring's 'supervisor,' Jacksonville mom with baby gets 8 years in prison

A Jacksonville woman will serve an eight-year prison sentence for helping run a pot ring that made millions of dollars selling extensive inventories from Airbnb homes, a federal judge decided Wednesday....

A Jacksonville woman will serve an eight-year prison sentence for helping run a pot ring that made millions of dollars selling extensive inventories from Airbnb homes, a federal judge decided Wednesday.

Yaquasia Delcarmen, 28, was the first person sentenced for her role in a ring that prosecutors have also tied to a drive-by shooting last year on Interstate 95 in St. Johns County.

Delcarmen was not part of that shooting but pleaded guilty in June to conspiring to distribute at least 50 kilograms (110 pounds) of marijuana and helping launder money the ring took in after moving their product across the country from suppliers in California. The maximum sentence she could have faced was 40 years behind bars.

Leak:Jacksonville pot ring used former cop to ID target of I-95 shooting, says plea agreement

Delcarmen, who has a son less than a year old with the man accused of leading the ring, told Senior U.S. District Judge Harvey E. Schlesinger she “let my emotions get the better of me” earlier but was focused now on helping her son have a good future.

“He looks to me for safety,” she told the judge, whom she asked for compassion before the sentence was announced.

Schlesinger noted that sentencing guidelines recommended a term ranging from just over 10 years to 12 years and seven months. Prosecutors asked for 12 years behind bars.

Schlesinger also approved an order for Delcarmen to forfeit about $1.75 million investigators had tied to the ring, but the judge noted Delcarmen was appearing with a court-appointed lawyer because she couldn't pay for her own defense.

A plea agreement Delcarmen signed last summer described her as “a manager and supervisor” of a drug trafficking organization that routinely moved suitcases stuffed with pot on commercial airline flights between Sacramento, Calif. and Jacksonville.

The agreement said Delcarmen inventoried shipments the group received before they were parceled out to “retail distributors” and that she sold pot and collected proceeds from everyone’s sales and laundered the money through banking apps to deposit in accounts of the leader, whom the U.S. Attorney’s Office identified elsewhere as 28-year-old Nathaniel Hatcher III of Jacksonville. Prosecutors said the group normally carried guns, often bought illegally, to protect themselves and their product, which was often sold from homes in Riverside and San Marco.

Hatcher is scheduled to stand trial in February on charges that include conspiring to distribute at least 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) of pot, shooting into the car hit on I-95 in October 2023, witness tampering and making false statements in purchases of guns used by the group. If he’s convicted on all charges, Hatcher’s sentence could range from a 20-year mandatory minimum to two life sentences plus 115 years.

Besides Delcarmen, three other people including Hatcher’s brother, James Toney, have already pleaded guilty and agreed to help prosecutors in return for consideration when they’re sentenced. Schlesinger asked Wednesday whether prosecutors plan to have Delcarmen testify at any trials, which could have warranted a reduced sentence, but the judge was told that wasn’t expected.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Aakash Singh told the judge the prospect of having both parents of an infant entering prison was tragic but that it was entirely preventable if they had made other decisions.

“Armed drug trafficking … always will be a danger to the community,” he said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Following the closure of several local venues, a brand-new music venue is set to bring life to downtown Jacksonville in 2025.

Located at 323 E Bay Street, Decca Live will officially open on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2025, with a sold-out grand opening show headlined by Grammy Award-nominated Electronic Dance Music (EDM) artist Kaskade, the music venue announced.

Recommended Videos

The venue is located in the historic building of the former Florida State Theater Company. It sits adjacent to The Justice Pub, Live Bar, and Myth Nightclub & Element Bistro, and is just a few blocks from Underbelly Live.

The venue features a large open-floor layout with a mezzanine overlooking the crowd. The venue will also feature a rooftop bar with views of the St. Johns River.

The rooftop will open daily at 4 p.m., closing at midnight from Sunday to Wednesday and at 2 a.m. from Thursday to Saturday.

Decca Live boasts a capacity of 1,000 people, which is twice as much as Underbelly and more than half as much as the Florida Theatre. With the venue’s capacity, it fills a void in Downtown Jacksonville left by Mavericks Live.

Mavericks, located on the second floor of the Jacksonville Landing, had a capacity of 1,500 and attracted artists such as Luke Bryan, Lil Yachty, and De La Ghetto.

Mavericks closed down in 2019, leaving up-and-coming national and international music acts with one less place in Downtown Jacksonville to perform.

Now, with the opening of Decca Live, music fans can expect to see more up-and-coming music acts come to Jacksonville for their next tours.

Two Jacksonville natives are co-owners of the Decca Live.

Eric Fuller and Shawn Rouf have years of experience in the nightlife industry.

BLNK CNVS, an event and promotion company based in South Florida, is working with Decca Live as a talent buyer for the venue. The majority of the events BLNK CNVS operates feature EDM artists.

On Dec. 27 & 28, BLNK CNVS is partnering with EDM artist Mersiv to host Sonar Sessions: A New Year’s Celebration in downtown Jacksonville on the historic USS Orleck. The two-day event will feature sets from various bass artists.

With the involvement of BLNK CNVS, the opening of Decca Live will bring more EDM artists to the River City. Touring EDM artists typically come to Myth Nightclub.

Jacksonville already has a budding EDM scene with groups like Rinse & Repeat Records, the Wub Tub, Rat Trap Records, Lucky Duck Promotions, and Social Sparx Cooperative all hosting events featuring local and touring EDM artists.

With Decca Live, the local EDM scene will grow to even greater heights.

Besides the sold-out grand opening show headlined by Kaskade, the venue announced another show headlined by country star Josh Meloy on Friday, March 21. Tickets for the Josh Meloy show are now available.
