REASONS FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS

• Replace a missing tooth
• Maintain health bone levels
• Help support over-dentures
• Keep the look and feel of a real tooth where one is missing

Dental Implants

A dental implant is a titanium post designed to replace missing teeth. The post is surgically placed into the jawbone where the tooth is missing, and provides a more permanent solution.

Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures may not be your only options when replacing missing teeth. For some Riverside, IL residents, dental implants offer a smile that looks and feels very natural. Implants are surgically placed below the gums over a series of appointments, and fuse to the jawbone. Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone, a process called osseointegration. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural, and some people find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes. Candidates for dental implants near Chicago must have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant.
