Your Guide to Dental Implants
An interactive resource to help you understand the procedure, costs, and options for restoring your smile in Chicago.
The Implant
A biocompatible titanium post that acts as a new tooth root, fusing with your jawbone for ultimate stability.
The Abutment
A strong connector piece that securely links the implant post to your new, custom-made tooth.
The Crown
The visible, porcelain artificial tooth, meticulously crafted to match your natural smile perfectly.
The Implant Journey: A Step-by-Step Look
Receiving a dental implant is a multi-phase process designed for lasting success, typically spanning 3 to 9 months. This timeline ensures your body has the time it needs to create a permanent, stable foundation.
Consultation & Planning
A comprehensive exam with 3D imaging (CT scan) to assess your bone structure and create a personalized treatment plan.
Site Preparation (If Needed)
May involve tooth extraction or bone grafting to build a solid foundation. This common step is needed for ~60% of patients and can add 3-6 months to the timeline.
Implant Placement
A 1-2 hour surgical procedure to place the titanium implant post into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
Osseointegration & Healing
The most critical phase. Over 3-6 months, your jawbone naturally fuses with the implant, creating a rock-solid root.
Abutment Placement
Once healing is complete, a minor procedure attaches the abutment, which will connect the implant to your new crown.
Final Crown Restoration
Your final, custom-made crown is fabricated and securely attached, completing your new, fully functional tooth.
