Contact UsWhat Are Dental Implants?
Missing teeth affect more than just the visual appeal of your smile; gaps can also impact the function and health of your mouth. For individuals in Worcester, MA who are missing one or more teeth — whether they were extracted, knocked out, or fell out on their own — Dr. Monica Gobran & Associates is happy to offer replacements in the form of natural-looking dental implant restorations. Dental implants are titanium roots designed to naturally integrate into the jawbone to hold crowns, bridges, or dentures in place and provide structural support for the jaw. Only the tooth portion — the restoration — is visible above the gums. Implants can be used to provide a foundation for one or more missing teeth. Call our office to schedule an appointment to discuss dental implant restorations with Dr. Monica Gobran.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants have exploded in popularity over the last few years as more and more people opt for the benefits they provide. Here are just some of the advantages that dental implants can offer:
- Increased confidence when you're talking or smiling
- Makes it easier to eat certain foods
- Seem like real teeth in function and look
- Incorporate with the jaw to keep up jawbone health and structure
- Do not depend on surrounding teeth to maintain their position
- Serve as a durable tooth replacement solution
What Is the Treatment Process Like for Dental Implants?
Before moving forward with dental implants, Dr. Gobran will first examine your mouth and speak with you to determine if implants are the best approach for your situation. For patients with certain medical risks (like diabetes), she may recommend dental bridges or removable dentures.
Before the team at Dr. Monica Gobran & Associates can install your restoration, you will need to undergo oral surgery to have the implants placed into the jaw, where they will heal and integrate over time. When you are healed, we will finally attach your replacement tooth so you can unveil your newly restored smile to the world.

About UsDental Implants FAQs
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. With proper hygiene and maintenance, dental implants can last for approximately 10 – 15 years before needing to be replaced. Regular dental exams at Dr. Monica Gobran & Associates can help keep your tooth restoration in good condition.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
The majority of dental insurance providers find dental implants to be a cosmetic enhancement instead of a medical necessity. Because of this, many insurance plans will not cover the cost of dental implants for Worcester, MA patients. On the other hand, some dental insurance plans may provide partial coverage for dental implants. To find out whether your insurance covers dental implants, we advise you to go over your policy or contact your insurance provider. At Dr. Monica Gobran & Associates, we are thrilled to offer a handful of financing options to help make dental implants more cost-effective for you in the event that your insurance does not cover dental implants.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The overall duration of the dental implant process can range from 3 – 6 months or longer if other treatments, like a bone graft, are required beforehand. Initially, Dr. Monica Gobran will conduct an evaluation to assess your oral health and treatment needs. The implant placement itself can take 1 – 2 hours per implant to complete. Afterward, a healing period of about three months will be needed to allow the implants to integrate with the jawbone through a technique called osseointegration. Once this takes place, you will be asked to return to our Worcester, MA office to get the abutments and your custom dental crown, bridge, or dentures attached.
