Dental Implant Placement in Aurora, IL

Our dental practice offers comprehensive dental implant placement in Aurora, IL, to provide you with a natural-looking and functional replacement for missing teeth. Implants provide an excellent, long-term solution for tooth loss and are designed to provide a secure and stable base for dental crowns, bridges, or dentures.

What You Need To Know About Dental Implants

Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically implanted into the jawbone. They provide a secure and stable base for artificial teeth, such as crowns, dental bridges, or dentures. The implant is made of titanium, which is biocompatible with the body and able to fuse with the jawbone. This creates a strong foundation for a replacement tooth, providing you with improved stability and comfort.

If you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, you may be a good candidate for dental implants. To be eligible for implant placement, your jawbone must have adequate bone density to support the implant. If not, you may need a bone graft before we can proceed with implant placement. Additionally, your oral health must be in good condition and free from periodontal disease. If you are considering dental implants, our team will conduct a consultation and examination to evaluate your candidacy.

Benefits of Tooth Implants

1. Natural Looking

The dental implant post is designed to mimic your natural tooth root, providing a secure base for the crown or denture. This helps to preserve your facial structure and maintain a more natural look. Additionally, implants are designed to blend in with your existing teeth, restoring your smile’s aesthetic appeal.

2. Durable and Stable

Once the implant is fused with the jawbone, it provides a secure base that will not move or shift, unlike traditional removable dentures or bridges. This helps to ensure optimal comfort and stability when you eat, speak, or smile.

3. Long Lasting Results

Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants provide a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. The implant post is made of titanium, a highly durable material that is resistant to corrosion or decay. This helps ensure that your implant will remain strong and secure for many years to come.

4. Improved Oral Health

By replacing a lost tooth, implants help to prevent the remaining natural healthy teeth from shifting or changing position, which can lead to a misaligned bite. Additionally, implants do not require any alterations to your adjacent teeth or gums, preserving the integrity of those structures. Finally, because implants are easy to clean, they can help reduce the risk of gum disease or future tooth loss.

What to Expect During Your Dental Implant Procedure

Dental implant surgery is typically performed in two phases. The first phase involves the surgical placement of the implant post into your jawbone. This surgical procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation and takes approximately one hour to complete. During the procedure, our team will make a small incision in your gum tissue and create a hole in the jawbone to place the implant post.

Once the implant is placed, the area will be closed with stitches and a healing period of several months will begin. During this time, the implant will integrate with your jawbone to create a stable foundation for your new tooth. After approximately three to six months, you will return for your second appointment to have your new tooth placed on top of the implant.
