A Life-Changing Solution to a Complete, Healthy Smile
"I Went From Smiling A Lot In Pictures To Not Smiling At All..."
What Are Dental Implants?
Are you feeling self-conscious due to missing, damaged, or decayed teeth? These issues can significantly impact your ability to chew, speak, and even alter your facial appearance, potentially leading to bone loss in the jaw. Fortunately, dental implants provide a long-lasting solution to these challenges. A dental implant consists of a titanium artificial tooth root surgically inserted into your jawbone.
This innovative solution has three key components: the post, which anchors securely in the jaw; the abutment, which connects the implant to the crown; and the crown or prosthesis, the visible part that resembles your natural teeth. With our innovative technology and advanced treatment protocols, we can place a temporary restoration on the same day as your procedure. This means you never have to go without teeth! Experience a successful and affordable dental implant procedure in Estates, IL, and take the first step toward a confident new you!

Multiple Options. One Complete Smile.
Single Implants
If you’re missing one tooth or individual teeth in separate areas, a single dental implant is as close as you can get to having a healthy natural tooth again. We can place a single implant post and individual crown that will blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Unlike a traditional dental bridge, a dental implant doesn’t require crowns on neighboring teeth. It is a conservative approach that preserves as much healthy enamel as possible. Your dental implant will also relieve excess strain on the surrounding teeth, which can lead to shifting, wear, and even cracks.
Dental Bridges
We can replace multiple teeth in a row with a durable dental bridge anchored to as few as two implant posts. A bridge is a single restoration crafted to have the appearance and function of several individual teeth.
Implant-supported bridges can last decades longer than traditional bridges. Unlike a partial denture, they also restore full function to your bite.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are a reliable and effective solution for individuals with significant tooth loss, offering enhanced stability compared to traditional dentures.
These dentures are anchored securely to dental implants embedded in the jawbone, ensuring a comfortable fit and preventing slippage during eating or speaking. With implant-supported dentures, patients can enjoy improved functionality and aesthetics, restoring their confidence and quality of life.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
Full mouth dental implants are a comprehensive solution for replacing all the teeth in the upper and lower jaw, providing a stable and long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures.
This procedure involves placing multiple implants that support a full arch of prosthetic teeth, restoring both functionality and aesthetics to the smile. Full mouth implants offer a natural look and feel, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
What to Expect from the Dental Implant Process
The first step in the dental implant process is a thorough consultation. During this visit, we evaluate your overall oral health and determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants. We also take preliminary impressions of your teeth to create a detailed treatment plan.
We will discuss your medical history, dental concerns, and smile goals and review your implant options. This stage is crucial for planning the placement of the implants and ensuring the best possible outcome. Our team will answer all your questions and provide a clear picture of what to expect throughout the process.
Once your treatment plan is finalized, we will proceed with surgery, beginning with your choice of sedation to ensure maximum comfort. Using our Yomi Robot, we create precise, accurate incisions in your gums to access the underlying bone, allowing us to place implants with exceptional accuracy.
We will strategically position 4-6 implants at specific angles in your jawbone to provide optimal support. After implant placement, we’ll attach an abutment connector and secure a temporary restoration so you can immediately experience the benefits of a complete smile.
After the implants are placed, the healing phase begins, typically lasting three to six months. During this time, the implants undergo osseointegration, where they fuse with the jawbone, creating a solid foundation for your permanent restorations.
We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process and ensure everything progresses smoothly. While healing, you can continue to wear your temporary teeth, maintaining your appearance and functionality.
Once healing is complete, we take final impressions of your mouth to create custom restorations, whether you need single crowns, bridges, or full mouth dental implants. Wax try-ins ensure the perfect fit and aesthetics of your new teeth. This step allows for bite, shape, and color adjustments before the final prosthetics are made. We work closely with you during this stage to ensure you’re satisfied with the look and feel of your new smile.
In the final stage, your custom restorations are securely attached to the implants. Whether you’ve opted for a single crown, an implant-supported bridge, or full mouth dental implants, the restorations are designed to look and function like natural teeth. We’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and precision. You’ll leave our office with a fully restored smile, ready to enjoy all the benefits of dental implants, from improved function to boosted confidence!
