Implant Dentistry in Wheaton, IL

Initial Consultation

During your initial appointment, our dental professional will evaluate your oral health, examine your jawbone density and structure, assess the condition of your remaining teeth, and create your customized treatment plan.

Tooth Extraction (if necessary)

If you have a damaged tooth that needs to be replaced with an implant, it may need to be extracted. In some cases, if there is not enough bone present in the extraction site, additional bone grafting procedures might be required prior to implant placement.

Implant Placement Surgery

Once you are ready for implant placement surgery, local anesthesia will be administered to ensure comfort during the procedure. Our experienced dentist in Wheaton, IL will then carefully place the titanium screws into predetermined locations within your jawbone where the missing teeth once were.

Osseointegration

Following surgery, a period of healing called osseointegration occurs over several weeks or months. During this phase, the jawbone fuses around the implanted screws through processes such as new bone formation, ensuring stability and durability of future prostheses.

Abutment Placement

After the implant in Wheaton, IL has integrated with the jawbone, our skilled dentist will carefully select and place an abutment onto it. This small but essential component acts as a connector between the implant and the artificial tooth, ensuring stability and functionality.

Artificial Tooth Placement

With meticulous precision, our dentist will carefully attach custom-made artificial teeth onto the implants using abutments or connectors. These prosthetic teeth like CEREC crowns are not only designed to fit your mouth seamlessly but also mimic your natural teeth in color, shape, and size.
