Dental Implants in Elgin & Schaumburg, IL

Restore Your Smile With Dr. Skylar & Dr. Patel

Dental implants are the only permanent, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. A single-tooth implant is made up of three parts: a titanium implant post, a small connecting piece called an abutment, and a porcelain crown.

If you’re missing several teeth or even a full arch, we can also use implants to secure a dental bridge or customized dentures. No matter how many teeth you need to replace, dental implants can provide the stunning results you’re looking for.

Top 5 Questions To Ask Your Implant Provider - Dr. Vu Kong

The Dental Implant Process

Getting dental implants is a three-step process that takes place over the course of several months. During your initial consultation at our dental office, Dr. Kong will examine your teeth, gums, and jawbone to determine if implants are right for you.

Once you’re ready, he’ll place the implant directly in your jaw. You’ll need to allow three to six months for osseointegration, the process of your implant fusing with your jawbone to replace the natural tooth root.

Finally, Dr. Kong will attach your restoration to complete the process. Depending on your case, this can be a crown, bridge, or denture.

Dental Implant Candidacy

If you want a restoration that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with total confidence, dental implants are likely the right treatment for you. However, an ideal candidate for the procedure will have plenty of jawbone mass and healthy gums.

If you suffer from jawbone deterioration or gum recession, a supplemental procedure can prepare you for implant surgery. These typically include bone grafting or gum disease treatment.
