Achieve A Radiant New Smile with Life-Changing Dental Implants
At Grand Dental Implant Centers, we believe everyone deserves a beautiful smile, and we don’t want to see anyone suffer another day due to the numerous side effects of missing teeth. While tooth loss has likely taken a bite out of your self-confidence, smile gaps can cause trouble chewing, speech problems, and chronic jaw pain while increasing the risk of oral infections and gum disease. Furthermore, bacteria can spread into your bloodstream, seriously affecting your systemic health.
Whether you have one missing tooth or are entirely edentulous (toothless), we can restore your smile with a wide choice of options, from single to full mouth dental implants. If you have missing teeth and are seeking exceptional dental implants in the Chicagoland area, our skilled and caring clinicians have vast expertise in restoring smiles with the number one tooth replacement option!
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are comprised of a post, connecting abutment, and restoration. Together, these components are designed to replicate the structure, appearance, and function of natural teeth from your roots up. The posts and abutments are made of titanium or zirconia, offering exceptional biocompatibility with the human body.
The final restorations are typically fabricated from zirconia, a dental-grade ceramic that offers superb translucency and color comparable to natural teeth and strength that withstands biting and chewing stress. If you’re struggling with many missing or failing teeth and have been thinking about permanently restoring your smile function and aesthetics, full mouth dental implants will change your life in more ways than you could imagine!

The Steps Involved In The Implant Process
Consultation & Planning
At your initial implant consultation at Grand Dental Implant Centers, one of our skilled periodontists, implant dentists, or prosthodontists thoroughly examines your oral and overall health and asks questions about medications and lifestyle factors that could impact implant surgery. Digital imaging and diagnostics provide an in-depth view of your oral and facial structures, including an accurate jawbone density and volume analysis.
Combined with your oral exam, these diagnostics are essential for planning precision and complication-free implant surgery. If our team uncovers issues such as gum disease, dental decay, or bone loss, we’ll recommend additional treatment to create a healthy foundation for your implant surgery.
The Procedure
Before surgery, our team will explain the steps involved in your dental implant journey and provide an accurate estimate of the dental implant cost. In addition to local anesthesia, we partner with a board-certified anesthesiologist who administers IV sedation to alleviate dental anxiety and make surgery more pleasant. Once sedation has taken effect, one or more incisions are made in your gums.
This enables careful implant placement in specific locations and positions that offer maximum support for restorations. After securely placing the implants, we close your gum tissue and place protective healing caps over each post. If you’re getting full mouth dental implants at Grand Dental Implant Centers and qualify for an immediate load solution, we’ll fit you with temporary teeth the same day as surgery.
Follow-up Visits
While most patients experience minimal discomfort after a dental implant procedure, mild soreness can usually be treated with over-the-counter pain medications. Implants have a success rate of 95–99% when placed by experienced clinicians. However, unforeseen complications can occur in the period following surgery, and it’s best to err on the side of caution. In addition to following our postsurgical guidelines, our team checks to ensure healing and integration are progressing as expected during periodic follow-up visits.
Healing & Final Restorations
Healing and fusion with your underlying bone takes three to six months, depending on your healing capabilities and clinical situation. When the healing and fusion process is complete, the next step is to uncover the implants and attach small metal abutments that act as anchors for the replacement restoration, whether a single crown, bridge, or complete set of new teeth.
It takes about two additional weeks for your gums to heal around the abutments. The last step in your journey to a restored smile is being fitted for a beautiful, natural-looking crown, bridge, or full mouth prosthesis that complements your facial aesthetics.
Dental Implants Deliver An Investment in Your Smile Health and Happiness
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution regarding your oral health or finances. We understand that just as every person has unique dental needs, everyone has different financial situations. We’ll discuss the cost of dental implants and available payment options before we start treatment.
In addition to competitive prices, we offer third-party dental financing options from several reputable companies. This is especially helpful if you’re getting full mouth dental implants. Your smile is yours forever, so we want to make it as easy as possible for you to receive high-quality and affordable dental implants that are gentle on your mouth and wallet!
