Dental implants provide unsurpassed permanence, strength, and a natural appearance if you’re missing one or more teeth due to gum disease, trauma, or decay. Dental implants are also the most versatile option because they can be used to restore a single missing tooth, multiple teeth in one segment, replace a complete upper or lower arch, or both. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option to prevent further bone deterioration and build new bone density. With that said, getting dental implants isn’t a decision to take lightly.
It’s essential to choose an implant center with extensive expertise and a proven track record in the art and science of dental implant surgery. From state-of-the-art treatment suites and advanced technology to compassionate and expert treatment, Secure Dental is dedicated to delivering a dental implant procedure that exceeds your expectations. Our team has helped hundreds of patients regain their lives with dental implants in Illinois and Indiana!
The first step in your journey to a restored smile and life is to schedule a consultation. During this visit, we’ll ask how your current oral health impacts your quality of life and what you hope to achieve with a new smile. In addition to a thorough oral exam, we use a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner to create a detailed 3D digital image of your mouth, jaw, and underlying structures. This is essential for analyzing the position of nerves and sinuses and determining the density and volume of your underlying bone.
Once we determine the best solution, our team will discuss a detailed treatment plan and walk you through what to expect with single or full mouth dental implants from start to finish. We always encourage patients to choose the treatment plan that best fits their smile goals, oral health needs, and financial situation. As such, we also offer phased options, including overdentures, snap-on dentures, and removable bridges. Before you leave, we’ll schedule your dental implant surgery visit.
The 3D image captured during your first visit is used to precisely plan your dental implant procedure, eliminate any guesswork, and ensure accurate placement on the day of your implant surgery. We offer smile design dentistry that enables our dentists to digitally manipulate and design your new teeth’ shape, contour, color, and texture to design the perfect smile. This innovative technology provides an accurate idea of how your rejuvenated smile will look after your dental implant procedure in Illinois and Indiana.
Unlike some corporate dental implant centers, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter smiles and won’t treat you like a number. Each dental implant procedure is as unique as our patients, with every detail and specification planned and delivered with the highest level of precision. Combining our digital process and in-house dental lab enables our team to deliver beautifully crafted, cost-effective restorations.
After your chosen sedation has taken effect, we carefully drill small holes in your gums and place the implant posts in predetermined locations with the strongest bone density to provide maximum support. With All-on-X full mouth dental implants, posterior (back) implants are placed at a 45-degree angle. This streamlined approach frequently eliminates the need for bone grafting, bypassing months of additional healing.
This protocol also enables placing implants and fitting you with a fully functional and cosmetically attractive temporary prosthesis in one appointment. Dental implants take 4-6 months to integrate with your underlying bone in osseointegration. After completing this process, you’ll return to Secure Dental to be fitted with a beautiful, fully functional final crown, fixed zirconia bridge, implant-supported denture, or full mouth dental implants.
Dental implants come with a higher initial cost and lasting, life-changing advantages than traditional options. Their higher cost is offset by immediate and dramatic improvements to your oral and systemic health and a boost to your self-esteem. Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care and regular dental visits.
We accept insurance from many carriers and partner with third-party financing companies to make dental implants even more affordable. Suppose you’re missing one or more teeth. In that case, there’s no better time than today to schedule an implant consultation at one of our exceptional Illinois and Indiana area implant centers.
