Dental implants near Des Plaines, IL

How a dental implant works

An implant is a small titanium post placed in the jaw where the root of the missing tooth used to be. Over a healing period the bone grows around it, and once it is stable a custom crown, bridge or denture attachment is fitted on top. The result is fixed in place and cleaned like a natural tooth.

Replacing one tooth, several teeth, or a full arch

A single gap is usually restored with one implant and one crown. Several missing teeth in a row can be bridged from two implants rather than one implant per tooth. A loose full denture can often be stabilised with implants so it no longer moves while eating or speaking.

What affects the plan and the cost

The number of implants, the amount and quality of bone, whether a tooth still needs removing, whether grafting is required, and the type of final restoration all change the plan. That is why we give you a written estimate after the consultation and scan rather than a number over the phone.
