What Are Dental Implants?

Implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jaw. They act as artificial tooth roots and support restorations such as dentures, dental bridges, and dental crowns.

Dental implants also provide amazing bone-saving benefits. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone no longer receives the stimulation the tooth roots once provided, and the bone can begin to deteriorate.

Implants replace the tooth roots, giving the jaw the stimulation it needs to stay healthy. They are the only tooth replacement option that offers this advantage.

See How Implant-Supported Dentures Work

Four to six titanium implants are placed along one or both dental arches. Then, abutments are attached to the implants. Finally, our dentist will secure your dentures to the implants for superior stability and bone health. Your results will look entirely natural, like real teeth.

Even If You Don't Qualify for Implant-Supported Dentures You May Be Eligible for All-on-4

Dentist talking with happy patient

Patients without enough jawbone tissue for traditional implants don't necessarily need to get bone grafting. Our knowledgeable dentist also offers the All-on-4® method. This advanced treatment needs fewer implants than other implant-supported dentures. 

With All-on-4, four strategically placed implants will keep your dentures fully in place for years to come. And, like with other kinds of dental implant-supported restorations, they will stimulate your jaw tissue to improve your overall bone health.

If you need more than four implants, our dentist can explore the All-on-X option. This customized solution can support a denture on four to eight implants, depending on your bone density and other factors.

Patients Appreciate Our Financing Options

Most dental insurance plans do not cover the cost of dental implants. However, they may partially cover the cost of your restorations. We accept most dental insurances, as well as financing, to eliminate financial barriers and help patients enjoy the amazing benefits of dental implants.

Consultation

During your initial consultation at our Greater Rockford, IL, dental clinic, your dentist will examine your mouth and discuss your medical and oral health history to determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants. 

Preparatory Treatment

If you need a preparatory treatment like tooth extraction, bone grafting, or periodontal treatment, it must be completed before your dental implants are placed. 

Implant Placement

Your dental implants will be surgically placed directly into your jaw. You will then be given time to heal and allow the implants to fuse to your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This takes about three to six months. 

Temporary Restoration

In some cases, we can place a temporary restoration so you'll leave our office with a full smile.

Abutments

After osseointegration is complete, you can return to our office where our dentist will place your abutments. Abutments are the connector pieces that secure your dental implants to your restoration. The gums will then take about two weeks to heal around them.

Impressions

Once you are healed, your dentist will take impressions of your mouth to craft your custom denture, crown, or dental bridge. These impressions will be sent to a trusted lab to guide the creation of your restoration.

Final Restoration

Once your bridge, denture, or crown is completed, you will have a fitting appointment at our Rockford-area dental practice. Your dentist will secure your restoration to your abutments and make any necessary adjustments for optimal fit and comfort.

As a comprehensive practice, we're here to improve the health, function, and appearance of your smile. Learn more about your dental implant options by contacting our Rockford-area team or by calling:

Creating Healthy Teeth in a Caring Office

"I have never done a review before on a dental office, but this place did such a nice job for me, I feel they all deserve some recognition for the top notch service I received, from booking my appointment to my actual procedure performed by Dr. K, who is an exceptionally skilled dentist who puts your worries and fears at ease.

"So if you're reading my review and looking for a dentist that will treat you better than most and do a great job for you: call them. You won't regret it."
Ron Carlson

Aftercare Tips for Dental Implant Patients

It is important to remember that your denture, bridge, or crown will wear over time and will eventually need replacing. However, with proper care, your restoration can last for 15 years or more, and your dental implants can last a lifetime. While our dentist is always here for emergencies, maintenance tips like these can help prevent potential problems.

Practice Good Oral Hygiene

You can care for your new restoration just like you would for your natural teeth. Floss once a day and brush at least twice a day with a soft-bristled brush.

Visit Your Dentist for Regular Checkups

Continue attending routine checkups with your dentist. He can help you maintain your oral health and catch any potential issues before they become serious.

Practice Good Oral Habits

Avoid biting your nails and using your teeth as tools, like for opening packages. Be mindful of especially hard or sticky foods like ice, nuts, or caramel, as they could potentially damage your restoration. Try biting into and chewing these foods with natural teeth that haven't received restorations.
