What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, the implant can be restored with a custom crown, bridge, or denture—depending on how many teeth need replacement. Because the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, it provides exceptional strength, stability, and durability compared to traditional options like bridges or removable dentures.

At Hammons Family Dental in Georgetown, TX, our implant dentists use advanced techniques to ensure precise placement and natural-looking results. Patients from Georgetown and North Austin choose implants because they look, feel, and function like real teeth—helping restore confidence and long-term oral health.

Why choose dental implants?

Restored Function: Implants closely mimic natural teeth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

Bone Preservation: When a tooth is lost, the jawbone may begin to deteriorate from lack of stimulation. Implants encourage bone growth, helping maintain facial structure.

Longevity: With proper care, implants can last for decades, making them a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Natural Appearance: Modern implant restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth, enhancing both aesthetics and comfort.

Who is a candidate?

While dental implants offer numerous advantages, they’re not suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates generally have:

  • Good Oral Health: Any decay or gum disease must be addressed before implant placement.
  • Adequate Jawbone Density: Sufficient bone is required to support the implant. If bone loss has occurred, a grafting procedure may be necessary.
  • Overall Well-Being: Certain medical conditions or habits (like smoking) can impact healing. We’ll assess your medical history to ensure a smooth recovery.


If you lack the required bone density, don’t lose hope. Techniques like bone grafting or sinus lifts can often create a stable foundation for implant placement. Our team will guide you through every step to see if these procedures are feasible in your case.

Implant-supported dentures and bridges

For patients missing multiple teeth, implant-supported dentures or bridges provide enhanced stability compared to traditional options. With implant-supported dentures, a series of implants anchor the denture firmly in place, reducing slippage and improving comfort. An implant-supported bridge can eliminate the need to modify healthy adjacent teeth, as the bridge is supported by the implants rather than relying on neighboring teeth as anchors.

The implant process

  1. Consultation and Planning: We start with a thorough examination, which may include digital X-rays or 3D scans. We’ll discuss your goals, financial considerations, and any preliminary treatments needed (such as bone grafting).
  2. Implant Placement: During this surgical procedure, we place the titanium post into the jawbone. This step may be performed under local anesthesia or sedation dentistry options to ensure your comfort.
  3. Osseointegration: Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the bone. A temporary restoration might be placed in the interim, maintaining aesthetics and function during healing.
  4. Abutment and Restoration: Once the implant is securely integrated, we attach an abutment—a connector that protrudes above the gum line. A custom crown, bridge, or denture is then affixed to the abutment, completing the process.
  5. Follow-Up Care: We’ll monitor your healing and implant stability, offering guidance on cleaning techniques and scheduling routine checkups.

Caring for your implants

Although dental implants don’t decay like natural teeth, they require regular maintenance to stay in top shape. Adopting these habits can help extend the life of your implant:

  • Brush Twice a Day: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to gently clean around the implant and the gum line.

  • Floss Daily: Plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas, so flossing is crucial for preventing gum disease. Special floss or interdental brushes may be recommended.

  • Regular Dental Visits: Routine exams and cleanings allow us to catch and address any issues early on.

  • Avoid Harmful Habits: Chewing on ice or hard candies, smoking, or neglecting oral hygiene can jeopardize implant success.

Potential risks

As with any surgical procedure, dental implants carry some risks. Common issues include infection, nerve damage, or complications from anesthesia. However, these occurrences are relatively rare, especially when performed by an experienced dental team and supported by diligent aftercare. We’ll discuss any potential complications and how to mitigate them during your consultation.
