What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a permanent foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike dentures and dental bridges, which rest on the gums or remaining teeth, implants are anchored directly in the jawbone just like the roots of natural teeth. The implant is a small titanium post surgically positioned in the jaw. The jawbone then grows around it, forming a bond through a process called osseointegration, allowing it to support a crown (or bridge or denture) for many years or even a lifetime. In the end, you’ll have a replacement tooth indistinguishable in appearance and function from the genuine article.
The Dental
Implant Process
Consultation
First, we’ll go over your oral health to ascertain whether dental implant treatment is right for you.
Surgery
After numbing you, Dr. Crumpton makes incisions in your gums and precisely positions the implant posts at strategic locations in your jawbone.
Healing
Over the next several months, the implant merges with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
Restoration
Once your implants have fully fused to your jaw, we can place your custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture onto them.

What if I Have One Missing Tooth?
To fill a single-tooth gap, we can place one implant post in the empty space and top it with a custom-made, lifelike crown that seamlessly blends with the surrounding teeth. With this option, we don’t need to file down any of your natural teeth like we would to place a traditional dental bridge. Learn more about dental crowns and bridges.
Dental Implants Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can remain functional for a lifetime. The crowns or prosthetic teeth attached to the implants may need to be replaced after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear.
Is Getting Dental Implants Painful?
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, so patients experience minimal discomfort during the surgery. Mild soreness or swelling may occur after the procedure, which can be managed with pain medication.
Are There Any Risks or Complications with Dental Implants?
While dental implant procedures have a high success rate, complications can occur, such as infection, implant failure, nerve damage, or sinus issues. These risks are minimized when the procedure is performed by an experienced professional.
How Do I Care for My Dental Implants?
Caring for your implant restorations is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to maintain the health of the implants and surrounding tissues.
Can Dental Implants Be Used if I Have Bone Loss?
In some cases, bone grafting may be necessary to build up enough bone to support the implant. Our Trophy Club dentists will evaluate your jawbone structure and recommend appropriate treatments to ensure the success of the implant.
