Dental Implants in Chicago

Loose Dentures?
Missing Teeth?

Dental Implants can help!

       Dental implants are used to replace a single tooth, many teeth on one side, or used to support an entire fixed or removable bridge replacing all the upper or lower teeth for our guests in Chicago. The most common dental implant used today is the osseintegrated dental implant. This dental implant is placed into your lower or upper jaw. Depending on the number of teeth being replaced, one or more dental implants are placed in the bone. If necessary a substrucure is made and then a crown, bridge or denture is securely fastened to the substructure or implant.

       Dental Implants are useful for patients in Chicago that have tried but can't wear conventional dentures. Patients in Chicago that lost a tooth, have two teeth with no or small fillings adjacent to the hole and don't want to cut the teeth down to make a bridge, would also make good candidates. In either case, our Chicago patients have to commit to good oral hygiene. So make sure to keep the implanted areas healthy, by brushing and flossing daily. Dental implants are usually placed in outpatient settings and have a healing phase of 6 weeks to 3 months.

       There is a significant investment involved to place dental implants as well as restore them. Dr. Widen places many of his own guest's dental implants, others may need to be sent to a specialist. Call our Chicago office at 312-266-0044 to see if you are a candidate.

      Dental implants are small titanium screws or cylinders that are placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw. The dental implants bond with the bone and act as an anchor for replacement teeth.

       Dental implants can be used to replace a single lost tooth or many missing teeth. Several options are available to restore your lost teeth; Chicago implant dentist, Dr. Ron Widen can discuss these with you in detail.

       Patients who have chosen dental implant supported teeth report that they are happy and comfortable for the first time since the loss of their original teeth.

      Anyone in Chicago who is missing any teeth is a candidate for dental implants. A consultation in Chicago with Dr. Widen will clarify what type of treatment you require. Some cases can be relatively simple. All facets of your implant treatment will be discussed with you in detail after a thorough diagnosis is made. Your diagnosis for dental implant treatment will include x-rays, study models, measurements, clinical exams and an evaluation of your medical conditions.

      Implant restorations are completed in two phases. The first phase involves the surgical placement of the dental implant or dental implants in your jaw. This is performed in Dr. Widen's Chicago office or by an implant specialist in Chicago. It is performed with state of the art equipment in an aseptic environment. The placement of the dental implants is important. Once they are in place, depending on the type of implant placed, either they are totally or partially covered by your gum tissue for a 3-6 month healing period. During this time, the dental implant will bond to the bone permanently.
       Since the jaw bones have only a small number of nerves, the placement procedure will cause you only minor discomfort and you should heal quickly. Dr. Widen will arrange for you to be comfortable throughout the waiting period. You can even wear your own dentures until your treatment is completed.
       The second phase involves constructing the finished replacement tooth or teeth (the prosthesis). When the healing phase is complete, the top of the dental implants are uncovered in a quick and simple procedure. Dr. Widen will then use the dental implants as a solid foundation for restoring your teeth.
       Dr. Widen will recommend which type of restoration is best for you. Options include crowns for single tooth replacements, bridges for multiple missing teeth and securely retained dentures. Each option will be carefully evaluated for your individual case.
