Learn more about how we can help return your confident, carefree smile as our highest purpose. Let us help write an uplifting next chapter to your dental health story.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that Dr. Manning places into your jawbone to hold a replacement dental crown or bridge. Unlike traditional crowns or bridges that require grinding healthy teeth, dental implants are anchored into support surrounding teeth like a real tooth would. Dr. Manning customizes each dental implant to match the surrounding teeth for a beautiful smile.
Dental implants from Dr. Manning and JLM Dental Studios offer many advantages over other tooth replacement options. Some of the many benefits of dental implants include:
Dr. Manning takes a careful approach to placing dental implants that integrates into your bone over time:
Consultation Visit: Evaluation and planning using 3D imaging technology
Placement Surgery: Dr. Manning administers local anesthetic, then gently places the implant into the jawbone. Temporary crowns may be inserted.
Healing Period: Osseointegration occurs as the jawbone integrates with the implant over three to six months.
Restoration Visit: Permanent custom crowns, bridges, or dentures are secured onto the implants once fully healed.
Follow-up care and cleanings optimize long-term dental implant success.
Good candidates for dental implants from Dr. Manning have:
If they have bone loss or limited space between teeth, can undergo bone grafting or mini-implant placement
Schedule an exam to determine if you qualify for implants.
Dental implants stimulate and preserve the jawbone by mimicking tooth roots. Traditional dentures and bridges can accelerate bone loss since they lack this stimulation.
By halting bone loss, dental implants prevent changes to facial contours and aid in eating and speaking. Dr. Manning monitors bone health during follow-up exams, adjusting treatment plans accordingly.
Proper oral care and regular dental visits support jawbone stimulation from implants.
Your dentist may recommend immediate placement of a dental implant in the socket after extracting a damaged tooth in some situations. This would allow an implant to integrate into the fresh extraction site to preserve the existing bone structure. However, immediate implant placement depends on having adequate bone structure remaining and making sure the state of your overall oral health supports healing.
Even with crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth, your dentist can still create a customized treatment plan for placing dental implants. Small-diameter implants known as mini-implants may be an option to fit implants into tight spaces. Digital imaging carefully plans the implant angle and positioning among surrounding teeth.
If exams show your jawbone density is too low or thin to properly integrate and support implants, your dentist may recommend bone grafting or the use of collagen membranes. These procedures build up the bone to provide a solid anchoring structure for the implants. It would take place during the initial surgery to place implants into the reconstructed bone.
In the case of moderate or advanced periodontal disease, the priority is to get the periodontitis successfully treated and controlled before considering implants. Once inflammatory gum disease is stabilized through deep cleanings and improved at-home care, implants may be an option to replace any teeth lost from periodontitis. The healthier mouth environment gives implants the best chance to heal and integrate with the bone properly.
Dr. Manning is phenomenal and extremely ethical. She repaired work that another dentist did when she could have told me I required the work to be completely redone as another dentist did. Her office is inviting. Her staff is kind, professional, and efficient. She’s def the only dentist I’ll see going forward. I also love Crystal her hygienist. Overall, this is an ethical and high-quality practice that provides the highest standards of care.
Switched to JLM Dental Studio from a prior local Smyrna dentist office several years ago. JLM’s office location is welcoming and organized. Bright environment, exceptionally designed. You don’t expect a dentist office to have a fun “vibe”, right? They captured one.
Dr. Jarrett is my primary dentist. I’ve gone through multiple treatment services, fillings, extraction, general cleaning, and recently Invisalign. I don’t question what treatments are recommended nor do I feel I’ve ever received unnecessary services for a cash grab. Dr. Jarrett focuses on overall oral health education vs vanity. Dr. Mel is equally a great addition to the team. Can’t go wrong either way. Pleased with my experiences which include multiple referrals. Grade A!
I love this dentistry office!! Dr. Manning and her staff are so professional. Very thorough and the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist’s office!! They have me as a patient for life!!

Dr. Jarrett and her staff are amazing! I had a problem with my crown twice and without hesitation they got me and took care of the problem! I especially want to let people know that Tiffany is phenomenal! Her customer service skills make you so comfortable! Thanks again for such great service! I highly recommend JLM Dentistry.
I absolutely love my dentist’s office. From the front desk, the hygienist (Crystal), and Dr. Jarrett, I am in total peace every time. Anytime you sleep when you are getting your teeth cleaned or cavities filled, that surely speaks to the magnitude of comfort, trust, and ambiance in the office. Thank you JLM Dental Studio.
I’m never a huge fan of going to the dentist (not sure who is), but JLM Dental Studios was amazing. It was easy to book my first appointment, the office was extremely clean and quiet, and the staff were all very welcoming and professional. I will definitely be making JLM my dentist’s office moving forward.
Very professional! From check-in to service, everything was wonderful. As a professional in the medical field, the experience was wonderful! Thank you to Amenia and Dr. Evans.
Crystal did an awesome job on my cleaning! The exam was the most thorough I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back!
My visit today at JLM dental studios was pleasant. The front office staff (Monica) is friendly & polite. Monica went above & beyond trying to get my appt. rescheduled when there was a cancellation. Teanna the hygienist assistant was kind & helpful with explaining the modern tech the office has to offer. Crystal the hygienist is sweet & patient care oriented. Highly recommend!!
Crystal C. is so awesome. She explained in detail what I need to do to get back on track with my treatment plan… Thank you for your talent and expertise!!
Dr. Evans is very thorough and explains every step. It’s always a great experience at JLM.
First, let me say that I appreciate the design of this office. It’s super chic and glam! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I get extreme anxiety when visiting the dentist, but the assistants and hygienist were gentle and patient with me. My dentist was not Dr. Jarrett as she was fully booked but the other dentist was very friendly and helpful. I did, however, get botox injections from Dr. Jarrett, and she was amazing and quick with the procedure. I can’t wait to return. Can’t believe I said that about a dentist’s office.
Lovely and pleasant experience. Friendly and informative staff. Came in for a deep cleaning and filling and didn’t feel a thing. I definitely will be coming back!
Dr. Evans and her assistant did an outstanding job on my root canal. Believe it or not, it was an overall pleasant experience.
Great experience. Very personable staff. Relatable, and when it was time to get down to work, they did…and in a competent fashion!
My experience today was great. First time seeing Dr. Evans, and she was amazing. I look forward to getting my mouth together. Thank you & Merry Christmas!
Very professional, thorough, and friendly office! I really like the hygiene and covid safety protocols, the friendly staff, the thorough cleaning, and the billing explanation. The staff (Monique), as well as Ginny, were very nice! This dentist’s office makes me have less trepidation about coming to the dentist. Thank you!
Dr. Evans took VERY good care of me! Actually, the entire staff is great! Thank you, Dr. Manning!
Dr. Evans was very great and professional. I never used to like going to the dentist, but she made me enjoy my visit such that I wish I could visit over and over again.
The visit was exciting and informational. One of the best visits I’ve had. Dr. Evans was professional and effective!
