Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once it bonds with the jawbone, a natural-looking crown is attached on top, so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence.
Our dentists plan and place implants right here in our Northlake office, close to Melrose Park, Stone Park, Franklin Park and Elmhurst.
What we offer
- Implant consultations with digital X-rays
- Single-tooth implants
- Implant-supported bridges
- Full-mouth restoration options
- Bone grafting when more support is needed
Implants may be right for you if
- You are missing one or more teeth
- Your denture feels loose or uncomfortable
- A tooth cannot be saved and needs to be replaced
- You want a fixed option that does not affect neighboring teeth
What to expect
Consultation
We examine your mouth, take X-rays and explain whether implants are a good option for you.
Implant placement
The implant is placed in a short procedure with local anesthesia, then allowed to heal.
Your new tooth
Once healed, a custom crown is attached so the implant looks and works like a natural tooth.
Common questions
How long do dental implants last?
With good brushing, flossing and regular check-ups, implants can last many years. Your dentist will explain what to expect in your case.
Does getting an implant hurt?
The procedure is done with local anesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Some soreness afterward is normal and usually short-lived.
Is everyone a candidate for implants?
Many adults are. Healthy gums and enough jawbone are important. If more bone is needed, a bone graft can often help. Your dentist will check at your consultation.
