Dental implants offer a variety of benefits that make them a superior solution for tooth replacement. Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanent and do not slip or shift in your mouth, which helps you to eat and speak with ease. They also stimulate and preserve natural bone to prevent bone loss in your jaw. With proper care, dental implants can last for decades, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run.
Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for individuals suffering from missing, decayed, or damaged teeth. They are artificial tooth roots, typically made from titanium, that provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. At Boca Dental Studio, Dr. Luke Aiura & Dr. Robert Villa use leading brands like Biohorizons and Straumann to ensure the highest quality for their patients. Dental implants are designed to blend in with your natural teeth, offering a long-term, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solution to restore your smile.
Dental implants have a success rate of 98% and can last for decades with proper care.

Dental implants keep the natural alignment of your remaining teeth and prevent them from shifting. This stability is crucial for proper chewing and speech. Plus, implants stimulate and preserve the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs with tooth loss.
Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. Because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent, improving your smile and boosting your self-confidence.
Dental implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants can even last a lifetime. They also eliminate the inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Aiura or Dr. Villa will evaluate your oral health, discuss your dental goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. This includes a comprehensive examination and X-rays to assess the condition of your jawbone.
During this step, the dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. The implant will serve as a new root for the replacement tooth.
Once the implant has fused with your jawbone - a process that can take several months - a small connector post called an abutment is attached to the implant. This will hold your new tooth. After that, a replacement tooth, or crown, is then attached to the abutment, completing the process.
The longevity of dental implants can vary, but with proper care and maintenance, they can last for decades. The success rate of dental implants is high, and they are designed to be a durable, long-term solution for tooth replacement. However, the lifespan of an implant can be influenced by several factors, including oral hygiene practices, lifestyle choices (like smoking), and the general health of your gums and teeth. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are crucial to ensure the longevity of your implants. It's also important to follow any specific care instructions provided by your Gold Coast, Chicago dentist.
