Dental Implants in Rocky Mount, NC
Replace Missing Teeth with Stable Dental Implants
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants are tiny titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, dental implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.
Dental implants are changing the way people live! With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.
Our philosophy at DentureCare & Implant Solutions is that we believe every patient should be fully educated about the entire implant treatment process, including all the many potential treatment options, risks and benefits, and so much more. Dental implants can be a foreign and intimidating concept, and the best way to make people comfortable with them is by educating them completely. If, like many others, you feel implant dentistry is the choice for you, we ask that you undergo a dental/radiographic examination and health history. During these consultation visits, your specific needs and considerations will be addressed by either Dr. Edward Jernigan and John C Jernigan and our staff. For complex cases we often work in conjunction by a specialist (Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Periodontist, Prosthodontist) referred by our practice. Your questions and concerns are important to us and our team will work with you very closely to help make your procedure a success. Their is no commitment by doing a consultation, and is only to give you the education and information you need to make an informed decision about whether or not dental implant therapy is a good option for you.

If you are thinking about having implants, stop thinking and go out and talk with these folks. They do not talk over your head and take the time to explain in detail and answer every single question. Cannot say enough about how well they cared for me and made sure that I was not in pain, understood what they were doing and what to expect when completed. Just wish that I had it done fifteen years or so earlier. Even through the follow up visits, ALL the staff was courteous, responsive and you could tell they were genuinely concerned and cared. Never heard a negative word from anyone, no raised voices, Dr Journigan continuously explained and taught others as he went along. Seriously, I am enjoying foods now that I never thought I would be able to eat again and some even that I had forgotten about! Absolutely no regrets other than wishing I would have done it sooner.

Patient Review By Brenda B
I recently had implants done on the top and bottom and received ne dentures for both. I am so very happy with the success of this procedure. I am able to eat anything I want now; better than in years. I can smile my big wide smile like I used to be able to do and it feels so good. The staff was so wonderful, everyone was always so helpful. I always felt that I was their #1 patient of that day; such a great feeling. They are the best. I highly recommend the whole team. Having this procedure done is not a quick fix. It requires some patience on the part of the patient. Nothing good ever comes easy, but it is so well worth the time and effort that goes into it. Thanks to all who helped make me so happy. I hope my review shows as a 5 star, because that was my intent.

I must tell anyone interested in Dental Implants to check out DentureCare and Implant Solutions in Rocky Mount, NC! All the staff, from the front desk and on, were nothing less than professionals. Their dedication to my care was beyond my expectations. Always friendly, Kind and supportive. Getting dentures, especially with implants, is a process but Dr Jernigan and his staff made me feel right at home. painless through all the procedures. I,m enjoying food better now than ever. Corn on the cob, steak and bacon. Stuff I struggled with before. I do recommend them. 100% yes. I live in Kentucky, They were worth the drive (461 miles one way) for each appointment. If any of the staff is reading this I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Patient Review By Karen D
I was facing a dental crisis, very unexpected and I was terrified…I had 13 dental consults, was even seen at a dental school by professors of dentistry, all gave me little hope of living the rest of my life with many teeth, I was at the point of completely giving up! Hopeless doesn’t begin to describe my mindset. My “new” family dentist asked me to please consider just one more consult, Dr. Joc Jernigan….with a heavy heart I agreed…Tonya did her preliminary work-up on my mouth, sat back, smiled and brought Dr. Joc in to access.. he firmly said, “I can help you, I can give you your smile back”! Two major oral surgeries later, I have the most beautiful and comfortable smile and teeth on the eastern coastline!!! Dr. Joc and Tonya never gave up, never said no, never even thought they could not restore my oral health and teeth! And through it ALL I have NEVER had one second of pain or discomfort!! Everyone says to me, “I cannot believe the miracle your doctor preformed and no pain”!!! There is no other practice/team anywhere that will give you the respect, commitment, results and care that Dr.Joc Jernigan, and the fantastic team at DentureCare provide…I am proof!!

Patient Review By Richard D
These folks are great and so down to earth that getting my implants and 'new teeth' was actually a pleasure 🙂 Their work is the finest. I am writing this two years since having these folks complete a number of extractions, 6 implants, and 'new teeth' installed. I have not had an issue since and expect I will not going forward. The new teeth mount/snap in as firmly today as they did two years ago. My smile and eating ability are as natural as ever. I rarely review, but this team deserves credit for their awesomeness 🙂

Patient Review By Lorrie G
I had dentures for over 5 years. I was fortunate to have only a top plate but I could no longer enjoy food as I used to. I learned that a lot of your taste buds are in the roof of your mouth. I researched implants for over two years. I could not find any that I could afford. Then by chance I dropped my denture on the dining table. (I would take them out and eat with my gums, much to my family's dismay). I had dropped them numerous times but they had never broken. Guess they just fell the right way or it was God's way of showing me where I needed to go. When I went into denture solutions to get them fixed I asked about implants. Dr. Joc Jernigan talked with me and I told him the reasons I was unhappy with my dentures. He came up with a solution that would work for me and one that I could afford. Now I can eat like I used to, have a beautiful smile and am very happy with the results I got. Dr. Joc Jernigan is the best dentist and person I have ever met in this profession. He truly cares about people and that is rare in this day and time. He showed me kindness when I needed it the most! Thanks to all at denture solutions for the way they helped me to change my life for the better.

Patient Review By Susan O
Thank you dr. Jernigan and girls !!! Oh what a good job for handling my anxiety and explaining everything to me more than one time . Absolutely never any pain and making it an easy recovery. Gosh, life is wonderful to eat with no more problems from those pesky bad teeth with all their own little nags and no more sensitivity which alone by itself is worth every dime !!!! Along with all mentioned , I also have a beautiful smile. " This makes entering the 50's so much more pleasant. Dr. Jernigan,"Thanks for letting me be entertained by the Goo Goo Dolls through the procedure and sorry for falling asleep a half dozen times while pulling teeth and putting my implants in. You did a magnificent job and thanks for caring most of all !!! So anyway this is me now because of you . Thank you and the girls !!!!!!

Patient Review By Barbara S
I had two teeth cut out on the lower gum and two implants inserted on the same day. Dr. Joc was great and I never had any pain. I also got new lower and upper dentures and have had nothing but praise from my family about how pretty and natural they look. If you have any adjustment done the staff is the greatest to work with and very good at knowing what needs to be done. The implants are very reasonably compared to other Dentist. I would recommend these Doctors and Staff to my family and friends.

Patient Review By David B
The implants have really helped me keep my lower denture in place without it moving and without having to use all of that sticky adhesive. Now I can eat whatever I what without having to worry about my denture moving around.

Patient Review By Leonard M
The implants have really improved my ability to eat. I am able to eat corn on the cob. I am eating more and I am eating better foods now. Before I had the implants my dentures did not stay in place and they jumped around in my mouth. Implants have improved my life!!!
