Dental Implants in Plainfield, IL
Dental implants are an effective and popular way to replace missing teeth and are designed to blend in with your other teeth. They are permanently placed in your mouth and provide an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile.
A dental implant is a post that resembles a screw, which is a replacement for the roots of the missing tooth. A crown (the visible part of a tooth in your mouth) is placed on top of the post, which will then provide the full functionality of the replacement
tooth in your mouth. Dental implant surgery often can be a welcome alternative to dentures or bridgework because the implant acts and looks most like your natural teeth.
Ready to have the missing teeth in your smile replaced? Contact Millennium Family Dental today!
Dr. Michael E. Risty and the team at Millennium Family Dental will provide a comprehensive dental exam and a treatment plan, which is tailored to your situation. This plan considers how many teeth you need to have replaced and the condition of your jawbone.
If your jawbone is not in prime condition, bone grafting can be done.
6 Benefits of Dental Implants
Generally, implants can be done under the following conditions:
- One or more missing teeth
- Adequate bone structure to secure the implants
- Oral tissues are healthy
- No health conditions that would impede bone healing
There are many benefits to having dental implants including:
Where teeth are missing, dental implants also help keep the jawbone from shrinking.
- Implants offer firm support to artificial teeth. Unlike dentures, which can move, and slip in your mouth, implants are permanent. This secure fit will feel more natural than typical bridges or dentures.
- Eat what you want. You will experience a remarkable improvement in your chewing ability and tooth stability.
- Implants are a good value because they can last a lifetime with proper care. Your dental implants never have to be removed, and your teeth will give you a long-lasting smile you can be proud of.
- Caring for your teeth will be easy. All you need is a strong daily brushing and flossing routine. Regular visits to Millennium Family Dental are important to the long-term success of your implant to keep it and your natural teeth clean and healthy.
- Because dental implants return your mouth to a more natural state, it can help fend off periodontal (gum) disease, which will create a healthier mouth and body.
Dental implants can also be used to support a bridge when several teeth are missing. Unlike traditional bridges, an implant-supported bridge does not need support from teeth next to it. It is also possible to support an entire arch of missing teeth with
an implant-supported denture.

At our Plainfield dental implant practice, restoring patients’ oral health and function is critical. Dental implants offer an array of benefits that other restorations do not, such as:
Permanence
Dental implants are known for securely stabilizing restorations and prosthetics. Your dental implants are placed accurately using a surgical guide for optimal results. While patients wait for their tissues to heal, the post is fusing and becoming a healthy
part of the jaw. This process is called osseointegration and allows implants to become a permanent anchor for prosthetics. For patients’ total lack of teeth, ill-fitting dentures become stabilized when attached to dental implant posts.
Restored Aesthetics
Missing teeth, whether one or a full arch, can lead to bone loss in the jaw, resulting in an aged look. Bone density problems can be corrected by dental implants, however. Dental implants posts act like the missing tooth root and once fully healed, implants
remain a part of your jaw, restoring strength through improved bone density.
