DENTAL IMPLANT FAQ - ST. CHARLES, IL

Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that mimics the look, feel, and function of your natural teeth. Implants can restore 98 percent of function, allowing you to eat anything you want while looking completely natural and beautiful.

Dental implants placed by our dentist consistently retain a high success rate, with our comprehensive surgical, restorative, and follow-up care. With proper home and professional care they can successfully last your lifetime.

The cost of dental implants varies from patient to patient. During your consultation we will take into consideration the number of teeth that need to be replaced, how much bone is available or if we will need to perform a bone graft or sinus lift prior to surgery, any tooth extractions, and if any infection is present.

Whether you have one missing tooth or an entire arch, we have dental implant solutions to accommodate you. For full-arch tooth loss we can place as little as two implants that support an entire denture or bridge, giving you a secure fit.

If you have one, many or a full arch of missing teeth you are likely a candidate for dental implants. You should be in good overall health and be free of any gum disease or infection. We can help you improve and maintain the proper level of health before placing implants.

Even if you have been told you don’t have enough bone to support dental implants, you may still be a candidate. Through bone grafting or sinus lift procedures we can rebuild bone in your jaw so you can get any number of implants placed.

This is a common misconception we often hear. Having dental implants placed is generally not painful and actually feels similar to having a tooth pulled. In fact, many of our patients say they hardly felt anything at all! Our team is trained to administer varying forms of sedation if it’s needed.

Using 3D technology, we first take detailed images of your mouth which tells us exactly where the nerves are located and where the best possible location to place your implant(s) is. With this information we then precisely place your implant(s) in the jaw bone for the best results. Our team treats each implant case uniquely, guaranteeing your experience is customized and that you feel comfortable throughout.

Yes! In most cases we can remove a tooth, or multiple teeth, and place an implant the same day.

Our St. Charles, IL office is designed to accommodate patients receiving dental implants. We are equipped to administer sedation in our office as well.

When placing dental implants, our team is particular when it comes to placing them under the right conditions and in the precise location. We see very little complications after implants are placed by us, but do treat those whose implants weren’t placed correctly or that have failed.

We restore all dental implants conveniently in our St. Charles, IL office. Working closely with experienced ceramists, we create custom and natural-looking restorations for single or multiple implants.

When placed by our experienced team and cared for properly, dental implants can last your lifetime. The crown or restoration piece may need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear, but the titanium screw should last many years.

Your dental implants can be cleaned like your normal teeth. We recommend brushing twice a day and flossing daily, and maintaining regular cleanings with our team.
