Sadly, missing teeth affect your other teeth and your\nsmile, even if you are only missing one tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are the best solution for missing teeth and\nare just as strong if not stronger than your natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implant dentist Dr. Carroll\nButler explains that implants are made from titanium screws or posts\nthat are surgically placed in or on the jawbone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the implants have healed, your Kerrville dental implant\ndentist will place artificial teeth over the posts. These teeth are matched to\nthe rest of your smile and can last for the rest of your life as long as you\npractice good oral hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Everyone a Candidate for Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implant technology has\nchanged over the years. In the past people who had little jawbone had to wear\ndentures. However, these days you can have a bone graft and be a good candidate\nfor implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who smoke or chew tobacco and people with\nuncontrolled diabetes and untreated periodontal disease have a higher risk of dental\nimplant failure because of poor healing or infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Have Dental Implants if I Wear Dentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People who wear dentures are wonderful candidates for\nimplants as they help support the over dentures and do not slip or move like\ndentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implants are also used as fixed dentures where they are\nfixed to the dental implants. Only your Kerrville\nimplant dentist can remove fixed dentures with dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Implants Last Forever?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because implants aren\u2019t susceptible to tooth decay, you\nwon\u2019t have to worry about cavities. However, you will have to look after your\ngums brushing twice and flossing once each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good oral hygiene, including a healthy diet and regular\ncheckups with your Kerrville dental implant dentist will help you keep your new\nsmile healthy for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like more information, regarding dental\nimplants call and schedule a no obligation\nconsultation with Dr. Carroll Butler today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Missing teeth can cause all sorts of problems and they aren\u2019t just aesthetic.
