Pros

• Durability: Implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
• Stability: They provide a secure fit, unlike dentures which can slip.
• Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like your natural teeth.
• Bone Preservation: Implants help maintain jawbone density.

Cons

• Cost: Initial costs can be higher than other options, but long-term benefits often outweigh the expense.
• Surgery: The procedure involves surgery, which carries some risk.
• Time: The process can take several months from start to finish.

Absolutely. While the upfront cost may be higher, the long-term benefits of dental implants make them a worthwhile investment. They offer unmatched durability, stability, and a natural appearance that other options like dentures and bridges simply can’t provide. Dental implants also promote better oral health by preserving your jawbone and maintaining your facial structure.

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. George Skoog. During this visit, we’ll evaluate your oral health, take necessary images, and discuss your specific needs and goals.

Treatment Planning

A personalized treatment plan is created based on your unique situation. This plan will detail the type and placement of your implants.

Implant Placement

The implants are surgically placed into your jawbone under local anesthesia. Temporary teeth may be attached during this visit to ensure you leave with a functional smile.

Healing Period

Over the next few months, the implants will integrate with your jawbone, creating a strong foundation for your new teeth.

Final Restoration

Once healing is complete, your custom-made permanent teeth are attached to the implants, providing a beautiful, fully functional smile.

At Advocate Dental of Palatine, we understand that cost is an important consideration. While dental implants may have a higher initial cost compared to other options, their durability and long-term benefits make them a cost-effective solution. We offer various financing options to help make dental implants affordable for our patients. Additionally, we work with most insurance providers to maximize your benefits and reduce out-of-pocket costs.
