Keep reading to find out more about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kernersvilledentist.com\/dental-implants.html%C2%A0\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dental implants<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Kernersville.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What Does It Take to Get Dental Implants?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The best way to know for sure whether or not you are a candidate for dental implants is to schedule an appointment with your implant dentist. During an implant consultation, your dentist in Kernersville will evaluate your oral and overall health and discuss your smile goals with you to determine the best method of replacement. For many adults, it is dental implants. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the factors that will influence your tooth replacement option include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The health of your jawbone: Patients who have been missing teeth for many years may have experienced significant jawbone degeneration that can make them ineligible for dental implants. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall health: Because dental implants are placed surgically, patients should be healthy enough to heal from an invasive procedure to be eligible for this option. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lifestyle habits: People who smoke or use tobacco may be at an especially high risk of implant failure, making them a better candidate for non-implant retained options.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are a candidate for dental implants, Dr. Walker will partner with a qualified oral surgeon to have the implant posts placed. Once healing is complete, you will return to Dr. Walker\u2019s office, where she will place the prosthetic tooth\/teeth securely to the dental implant(s). <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How Many Teeth Can Dental Implants Replace?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dental implants can replace any number of teeth located anywhere in the mouth, whether in the upper or lower jaw. A single tooth can be replaced with a single dental implant restored by a dental crown. Multiple teeth can be rebuilt with an implant-retained partial or complete denture. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Secure Alternative to Traditional Dentures<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Speaking of dentures, dental implant-retained prosthetics offer a solution for patients who have not been able to achieve a proper fit with traditional dentures. They support the prosthetic teeth on the implant posts that have been placed beneath the jawline, rather than relying on solely your gum tissue. This method provides a far sturdier foundation for your smile. Implant-retained dentures will not slip or slide around, making it easy to eat, speak, and grin with full confidence &#8212; even after complete tooth loss. What\u2019s more, because they help to retain your jawbone\u2019s healthy shape, dental implant-retained dentures will also need to be replaced far less often than the traditional ones. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You have a better idea of whether or not dental implants may be a good option for your tooth replacement, but the only way to know for sure is to visit with your trusted dentist for a dental implant consultation. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">About Dr. Veronica S.
