Why Dental Implants
Dr. Lyuda explains why dental implants is the most optimal choice to replace a missing tooth!
Dental Implants are an excellent way to replace missing teeth. An implant is invisible to the naked eye as it replaces the root of the tooth. Having an implant gives you a significant advantage over other options, such as preserving bone structure, enabling flossing between teeth, and restoring chewing capacity closest to the original. They offer the most promising long-term results in tooth replacement. Dental Implants can be utilized to replace a single tooth, or multiple implants can support a full denture, providing versatility in dental restoration options.

What to expect
Our dentists in Portage Park will get your tissue numb by placing a topical gel and then get you fully numb with an anesthetic. You might feel pressured, but please let us know if you feel any pain so that we can get you more comfortable. We will take one or a few x-rays throughout the procedure to make sure we have accurate angulation and depth. You might leave seeing something metallic in your mouth, which is called an abutment. That will stay temporarily for the duration of the healing process, and then we will exchange that for a crown, but we often don’t place these healing abutments and cover the implant with your gums until the healing phase is complete.
We will go over all the post-op instructions, go over your pain medications, and have you enjoy our post-op goody bag. We will see you in 2 weeks for evaluation and removal of sutures

Dental Implant Simulation
In this video, Dr. Lyuda demonstrates on a simulation the process of placing a dental implant. Generally it starts with a decayed tooth that is not restorable and needs to extracted. During the day of the extraction, a procedure called Bone Grafting is done to ensure there is enough bone to support placement of an implant the day of the implant placement. Eventually the implant is covered by an Implant Crown that looks and functions just like a natural tooth!
