When you are missing just one tooth, you lose about 10 percent of your capacity to chew. This could have a considerable impact on your oral health and overall health. We offer dental implants in downtown Chicago as a way of restoring full functionality to your mouth. Our dental implant specialists replace molars, incisors and front teeth. We aim to make your visits with us as comfortable as possible, and our staff is always ready to answer any questions that you have about the treatment process, dental hygiene or anything else related to your oral health.

A dental implant is suitable for most people who are missing a tooth. You can also get several implants or implant-supported dentures. The implant itself is a slim post made of inert titanium. We implant this into your jaw. Some people do not have enough jaw bone mass to support the post. For those patients, we perform a bone graft. Once your jaw is ready to receive the post, we place it. Your jaw grows new bone cells around the post, securing it into place on a permanent basis.

After about six months, the post is ready to receive the artificial tooth crown. The artificial tooth crown is made for you in a dental lab. The crown is created to blend in seamlessly with your remaining natural teeth. In the case of implant-supported dentures, multiple crowns are attached to a framework. The framework is secured to the posts.
