Dental Implants
Chicago, Illinois
Our Treatments
Losing a tooth can impact your smile and quality of life, and we at Bristle Dental Studio are here to help. We proudly offer dental implants for our Chicago, IL, area patients as a long-term natural tooth replacement option to restore healthy, functional smiles. Whether you are dealing with uncomfortable removable dentures or missing one, several, or all of your teeth, we have the perfect solution for you!
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts we surgically place in your jawbone. Your implant will fuse to the bone through a process called osseointegration, providing a stable and secure foundation to support implant restorations custom-made to match your smile. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is the next best thing to having healthy, natural teeth!
What Are My Implant Restoration Options?
We’re happy to offer a range of implant restoration options, including the following:
- Single Crowns: A single crown placed on a dental implant restores a missing tooth to its natural appearance and function, with beautifully natural results.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Unlike traditional bridges that rely on natural teeth for support, implant-supported bridges are secured to dental implants, restoring two or more adjacent teeth.
- Overdentures: Also known as implant-supported dentures, overdentures offer an incredibly stable and secure alternative to traditional dentures, providing a long-term solution to restore your smile.
- All-on-4s: All-on-4s rely on as few as four implants to support a complete denture. They are ideal for patients with bone density issues that interfere with traditional implant placement.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including the following:
- They are the only restorations that act like natural tooth roots, which helps prevent bone loss in the area.
- They enhance your facial structure and restore your youthful, confident smile.
- They are incredibly stable, giving you the confidence that they’ll never slip or shift out of place.
- They restore your chewing function, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods.
- They help you speak clearly and confidently.
- They have the potential to last a lifetime with proper care.
Am I a Candidate for Implant Dentistry?
Candidates for implant dentistry must have good oral and oral health, be free of periodontal disease, and be willing to commit to meticulous oral hygiene practices. They must also have good bone dentistry in the area to support the implants. If you have bone loss, you may require a bone graft to help rebuild the bone and restore your candidacy for implant placement.
Bristle Dental Studio’s Cutting-Edge 3D Imaging Technology
During your treatment planning phase, we use our cutting-edge CBCT unit to capture 3D images of your oral structures, ensure you have adequate bone density, and assess where to place the implants. CBCT scans lower the risk of complications, ensuring your implant’s long-term success.
Caring for My Implant Restoration
It’s important to maintain a meticulous oral hygiene routine, including regular brushing and flossing. If you grind your teeth in your sleep, we highly recommend wearing a custom night guard to prevent damage to your implant restoration as well as your natural teeth. It’s also essential to keep up with your twice-yearly dental exams and cleanings to ensure your implant restorations, gum tissues, and any remaining teeth stay in tip-top shape.
