If you’re looking for high-quality tooth replacement that looks and feels natural, our expert dental implant surgeons in Elmhurst are here to help. At Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we specialize in comprehensive dental implant solutions that restore function, confidence, and long-term oral health.
A natural tooth has two essential parts: a root and a crown. Dental implants mimic this exact structure. When you lose a tooth, you lose both the crown and the root. The dental implant replaces the missing root with a small titanium post, which acts as a strong base for a new artificial tooth or crown. Titanium is the same biocompatible material used for surgical joint replacements.
Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth. Once an implant is placed into the jawbone, healing time is allowed for the bone to naturally grow and bond with the titanium. This forms a secure foundation for the final crown. After the implant integrates with the bone, a connector called an abutment is added, followed by the final prosthetic crown placed by your general or restorative dentist.
In many cases, a temporary crown or tooth can be placed immediately after the implant is inserted, offering convenience and functionality even during healing. If you’re missing multiple or even all your teeth, our dental implant surgeons in Elmhurst offer full-arch replacement solutions customized to your needs.
Time is allowed for bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. A support post (abutment) is then placed on the implant and a new replacement tooth (crown) is placed on top of the abutment. In many cases a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the implant immediately after it is placed. If all of your teeth are missing, a variety of treatment options are available to support the replacement teeth.
At Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Drs. Wolf, Moorhead, and VanOven, and utilize the most advanced techniques in implant dentistry. Thanks to innovations in surgical technology, we are able to perform single-stage implant procedures. Unlike traditional implants that require a second surgery to uncover the post, single-stage implants are more efficient and reduce recovery time.
In some situations, our dental implant surgeons can place the implant at the same time a tooth is extracted. This technique reduces the number of surgical procedures and promotes better preservation of the jawbone. Every treatment plan is tailored to the patient for optimal results and comfort.
Dental implant surgery is a collaborative process that involves both a surgical specialist and a restorative dentist. At Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, our surgeons perform the implant placement, any necessary extractions, and bone grafting procedures when the jaw requires additional support.
Your restorative dentist will then create and place the final prosthetic crown that looks, feels, and functions like your natural tooth. They may also design and fit temporary prosthetics, ensuring you leave with a confident smile even before your permanent restoration is placed.
Our patients experience tremendous improvements in their quality of life after implant surgery. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution that restores confidence.
