Dental Implants - Schaumburg, Skokie, & South Elgin, Illinois.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are synthetic tooth roots. They are used to create foundations for replacement teeth. Teeth can often need to be replaced due to an accident or disease, contact us to learn if dental implants are right for you.

Who Can Have Dental Implants?

In general, any person at any age may need dental implants. However, it is important to us that you:

Commit to good oral hygiene
Have enough bone to hold the implant in place
Are healthy enough to undergo oral surgery
Have healthy gums
Continue with regular dental visits

Certain people may need to be more closely examined to determine if they are good candidates for dental implants. This can occur if you:

Are a heavy smoker
Suffer from uncontrolled chronic disorders (like heart disease or diabetes)
Have had radiation therapy around the head or neck

Why Should I Get Dental Implants?

There are many reasons why dental implants may be right for you. When looking into tooth replacement, consider the following attributes of dental implants:

Comfort: each implant is individually placed and therefore more comfortable than dentures or bridges
Strength: if taken care of properly, they can last you for your entire life
Fit: will be better than dentures or bridges
Appearance: they look and feel like your teeth
Speech: since they won’t slip out, you do not run the risk of your implants slurring your words or causing you to mumble
Eating: they remain stationary so you can eat more comfortably
Oral Health: your natural teeth do not have to be altered, like with a bridge, so your other teeth are left intact
Flossing: you can floss around your dental implant and adjacent teeth
Cleaner: unlike dentures, there is no need to disinfect or deal with adhesives to keep them in place
