Mount Prospect Dental Implants 

Missing teeth can make even the simplest things – eating a meal, speaking clearly, smiling for a photo – feel more difficult than they should. At Northwest Dental Group, we’ve helped many Mount Prospect residents restore their smiles with dental implants, a treatment that offers long-term stability and a natural look and feel.

We know that every patient has unique needs and goals. That’s why we start by learning your dental history, discussing your concerns, and walking you through the options available. Dental implants are often the preferred solution because they replace both the visible tooth and the root structure beneath the gum line, helping maintain not only your smile but your oral health for years to come.

Why Dental Implants Are a Smart Choice

Traditional tooth replacements like partial dentures or fixed bridges do an excellent job of filling gaps, but they don’t address the root of the problem – literally. When a tooth root is missing, the bone that once supported it can begin to shrink. Over time, this can lead to changes in your bite and even the shape of your face.

Dental implants solve this problem by using a titanium post to replace the missing root. This post bonds with the bone, providing a stable base for your replacement tooth and helping prevent further bone loss.

Benefits of implants include:

• Long-lasting results with proper care

• Natural appearance that blends with surrounding teeth

• Strong, stable bite function for eating and speaking with ease

Who Can Get Dental Implants?

The best candidates for dental implants have healthy gums and enough bone density to support the implant. If you’ve been missing a tooth for a long time, bone grafting may be an option to prepare the area. We’ll perform a full evaluation to determine if you’re ready for implant treatment.

How the Process Works

The dental implant process is completed in stages to ensure the best long-term results:

1. Consultation and Planning – We’ll assess your oral health, take detailed images, and design a treatment plan that meets your needs.

2. Implant Placement – The titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone during a comfortable, in-office procedure.

3. Healing and Integration – Over the next several months, the bone fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration.

4. Restoration – We attach your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to the implant, restoring your full smile.

Caring for Your Implant

Just like natural teeth, implants require daily brushing and flossing, along with regular dental checkups. While they can’t get cavities, the surrounding gum tissue and bone must remain healthy for the implant to last. Avoid chewing on hard objects and maintain a healthy diet to protect your restoration.
