A Long-Lasting Tooth Replacement Option
Traditional bridges and dentures can only last for so long before eventually needing to be replaced. In contrast, dental implants usually have longer lifespans – and they offer all kinds of unique advantages due to being able to mimic the functions of your natural tooth roots. Have you been thinking of rebuilding your smile with dental implants? Our team at G2 Dental can help you figure out whether the treatment is right for you, so don’t hesitate to call and schedule a consultation with us.

What are Dental Implants?
The easiest way to describe dental implants is that they are artificial tooth roots; they form strong bonds with your jaw so that they can act as a solid foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. They also provide stimulation to your jaw to prevent bone loss from taking place. Dental implant posts are shaped like screws, and they are normally made out of titanium. They need to be surgically placed in your jaw; this process will be handled by a highly recommended specialist.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Consultation: An initial consultation you will be referred to a specialist office for will confirm that you are a viable candidate for dental implants. This first visit is also necessary to determine if any preliminary work is needed to create an oral environment where your dental implants can succeed.
- Surgery: Once approved to receive a dental implant, the surgeon will place the required number of dental implants in your jaw.
- Osseointegration: Osseointegration is when the dental implant posts fuse with the jaw. This normally takes a few months. Once the implant and bone integrate with one another, the surgeon will send you back to G2 Dental.
- Delivery of Final Restoration & Abutment Placement: You can count on our team to restore your dental implant posts with an abutment and a beautiful, natural-looking prosthesis.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer plenty of advantages that you’ll be able to enjoy on a day-to-day basis, such as letting you eat virtually any kind of food and being easy to take care of. They can also stop your jawbone from deteriorating and prevent your other teeth from drifting out of place. And of course, there are the long-term advantages of dental implants, such as not having to worry about replacing them as often as traditional bridges and dentures.
