What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that consist of:
- A titanium implant post placed in the jawbone
- An abutment that connects the implant to the restoration
- A custom-made dental crown
The implant integrates with the jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation for long-term results.

Dental Implants — Frequently Asked Questions
A dental implant is a small titanium post that’s placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it integrates with the bone over a few months, it’s topped with a custom crown, giving you a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural one.
Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone are candidates, and even patients with bone loss can often qualify with bone grafting. At Dr. Monica Gobran & Associates in Worcester, MA, we use 3D imaging to evaluate your bone and plan implant placement precisely.
From placement to final crown, the process typically takes three to six months, mostly to allow the implant to fuse with your jawbone. Some cases can move faster, and we’ll give you a personalized timeline at your consultation.
Implant placement is done under local anesthesia, and most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. Mild soreness for a few days afterward is normal and usually well controlled with over-the-counter pain medication.
Treatment length varies depending on healing time and individual needs.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implants can last decades — often a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear, but the implant itself rarely needs to be redone.
Implants are maintained like natural teeth with brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits.
