Football athlete Jayden Fielding on confidence, football, and his smile

Meet Jayden Fielding: Division I standout kicker 

Jayden is a standout college football D1 kicker, known for his poise, you may have seen him in high pressure moments on the field. He’s earned a reputation for consistency, discipline, and cool-headed focus, traits you can’t fake when thousands of fans are watching and every point matters. 
 
But Jayden’s journey to becoming a key player on a national championship football team wasn’t just about practice and pressure. Behind the pads and helmet, he grew up managing something few teammates ever knew: he was born missing two lateral incisors. For a young athlete whose life revolved around training, talking with teammates, and constantly being on camera, that experience shaped more than just his smile. 
 
 

Growing up with missing teeth: Jayden’s personal story 

From elementary school onward, Jayden learned how to navigate life, and sports, with a removable partial denture. At every practice, game, team dinner, or class presentation, he had to think about it.

He has shared that wearing a partial as a kid was both physically and emotionally challenging. As he got older, the thought of carrying that habit into adulthood didn’t feel right. He wanted a smile that looked natural, stayed in place, and allowed him to communicate.

What led him to choose dental implants 

Reaching adulthood gave Jayden the opportunity to explore more permanent solutions, and that’s what led him to dental implants. After learning about implant-supported restorations and how they’re designed to function like natural teeth, he decided it was time for a lasting change.

ClearChoice Dental Implant Center offered a treatment approach built around collaboration, specialized care, and a personalized plan. For Jayden, that meant finally moving beyond temporary fixes.

Restoring confidence with dental implants 

For someone used to performing under pressure, Jayden rarely hesitated on the field. But when it came to his smile, he admits confidence didn’t always come as easily.

Receiving dental implants gave him a new kind of comfort, one rooted in confidence and everyday ease. He’s shared that having a stable, permanent smile makes simple moments feel better: talking with teammates, posing for photos, and interacting with fans.

His smile transformation didn’t just restore the appearance of his teeth, it supported the way he feels showing up in the world. Whether he’s preparing for game day or connecting with people in his community, Jayden says he feels more like himself.

Why dental implants matter—on and off the field

Supporting self-esteem and personal comfort 

A secure, natural-looking smile can influence how a person carries themselves. For Jayden, implants removed years of worry about a removable replacement and helped him feel at ease in conversations, interviews, and everyday moments. That kind of confidence shows up everywhere, not just in photos, but in how he interacts with the people around him.

A lasting solution for a full, healthy smile 

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term option for people missing one tooth, several teeth, or a full arch. They help support everyday functions like chewing and speaking, and they can offer a more stable alternative to removable appliances. For someone with an active lifestyle, or anyone who’s ready to move beyond temporary solutions, implants can be a meaningful way to restore a complete smile.

A journey worth sharing 

Jayden’s story is one of resilience, growth, and choosing long-term confidence. His experience shows that even for someone performing on a national stage, feeling good about your smile is deeply personal.
