If you’re tired of decayed or missing teeth interfering with your daily life and don’t want to wait for new teeth any longer, we here at Periodontal Medicine & Surgical Specialists can help you. As board-certified periodontists, we have extensive training and qualifications in providing a variety of implant options, including full arch dental implants and immediate dental implants in Oakbrook Terrace and Glenview, IL. In fact, our surgeons have researched, lectured, and published papers on immediate dental implant protocols and aesthetics.
Immediate dental implants provide you with the benefits of less surgery, less cost, and less time from start to finish. In some cases, we are even able to attach replacement teeth the same day. A single surgical appointment is often all that is necessary. Whether it is a wedding, a reunion, or a holiday gathering, immediate dental implants can help get back your smile more efficiently for your life events. You don’t have to be afraid to smile for photos or to reconnect with old friends.
While immediate implants offer a number of benefits, not every patient or every tooth is a candidate. We never want to sacrifice safety or predictability for a “fast” result. Please contact us to determine if you might be a great case for immediate implant placement.
In order to turn your new teeth around so quickly, we work closely with your dentist, prosthodontist, or other dental service providers. We also do extensive preplanning to make sure not only that your placement is done quickly and accurately, but also that your provisional teeth are ready by the day of the procedure. This includes determining your smile goals, doing digital imaging of your mouth, and having a surgical guide and temporary teeth created by our partner lab.
On the day of surgery, we’ll provide IV sedation or other anesthesia options to keep you relaxed and pain-free, then perform any tooth extraction needed before precisely placing dental implant posts into your jaw using your customized surgical guide.
After the implants are stable, we’ll attach a fully functional, attractive temporary crown or bridge (your immediate dental implants) that will enable you to smile, eat, and speak while your implant sites are healing and finalized crowns are created. You can leave our office the same day with a brand-new tooth or teeth that feel natural and look incredible!
