Dental Implants Gurnee-Lake County, IL

When you lose a tooth that space that is left can cause the rest of your teeth to shift which can lead to uneven teeth and gaps, problems with your bite and eventually even bone loss. By filling in that space with a dental implant you are creating a permanent fixture that works just as your natural tooth would have so that you can prevent all of those things listed.

With dental implants a titanium cylinder which is threaded to the bone. The tissue gradually attaches itself around the cylinder just as it would to the root of a natural tooth. A ceramic replacement tooth is placed on top of the cylinder to complete your dental implant. We are able to match the replacement tooth to your remaining natural teeth so that your replacement is the same size and color as the others so that no one will ever know that you have an implant.

Dental implants can be used to replace just one or even all of your teeth depending on your needs and preferences. Regardless of how many dental implants you get, they will always look natural and work just as your real teeth did so that you never have to think twice about them.
