Dental Implants Q&A

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts that serve as artificial tooth roots. They’re surgically placed into your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, the implant provides a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture that mimics the look and function of natural teeth.

Implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support and help prevent bone loss that can occur after tooth extraction. With proper care, dental implants can last for decades or even a lifetime.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional dentures or bridges, including:

A natural look and feel that closely mimics real teeth
Long-lasting durability and stability
Improved chewing, speech, and comfort
Preservation of jawbone health and facial structure
No slipping, shifting, or adhesives required
Easy maintenance with regular brushing and flossing

Because implants replace the entire tooth structure—from root to crown—they also help maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth and prevent bite problems.

What is the process for getting dental implants?

Your implant treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital imaging to assess bone density and overall oral health.

If you’re a good candidate, Dr. George places the implant post into your jawbone. After a healing period of several months, during which the implant integrates with the bone, an abutment (connector) and custom crown are attached to complete your restoration.

Throughout the process, Dr. George ensures your comfort and carefully monitors healing to achieve a natural and lasting result.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper oral hygiene and routine dental checkups, implants can last 20 years or more. They are resistant to decay, but surrounding gums and bone must remain healthy for long-term success.
