Dental Implants in Roselle, IL

Adults in good general health who have enough jawbone to anchor a post usually qualify for dental implants. At your evaluation we look at the health of your gums and remaining teeth, and a 3D CBCT scan shows the volume and density of your jawbone. We also review your medical history, since conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can affect how well an implant heals and bonds with the bone.

Limited bone does not automatically rule you out. Bone grafting at the implant site, which we do in our office, can often rebuild the support an implant needs, and treatable issues like gum disease can be addressed first. You can start with our candidacy check, but only an evaluation gives a real answer, and we will tell you plainly whether implants fit or whether another option would serve you better.

The titanium post fuses with your jawbone and forms a stable foundation, and with good oral hygiene and regular checkups it can last for many years, though how long varies from person to person. That longevity is one reason dental implants can work out more economical over time than treatments that need periodic replacement.

The crown attached to the implant takes the same daily wear as a natural-tooth restoration and may need replacing after many years. Keeping dental implants healthy comes down to the habits that protect natural teeth: brushing, flossing around the implant, and professional cleanings that let us catch gum problems early. The better you care for the surrounding tissue, the longer your implant lasts.

Implant placement is done under local anesthesia, so the area is numb and you should not feel pain during the procedure itself. If you feel nervous about dental work, Dr. Llanes can prescribe a mild oral relaxation medication to take before your appointment, and we can talk through comfort ahead of time.

Some soreness or swelling in the first few days is normal. It is usually managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and softer foods, and most people are back to their normal routine quickly. You go home with written aftercare instructions, and you can call the office with any question while your dental implant heals.

The cost depends on how many teeth you are replacing, whether you need preparatory treatment such as an extraction or bone grafting, and the type of final restoration: a single crown, a bridge or a full arch. Because every case is different, no single price fits everyone.

Our Dental Implant Evaluation & 3D Imaging Assessment ends with an itemized treatment estimate, so you see the full cost before any treatment begins. Self-pay patients get clear, upfront cash pricing. We accept all major credit cards, and CareCredit can spread the cost into monthly payments.

Dental implants stand on their own and replace the tooth root, which helps preserve the jawbone and keeps stress off neighboring teeth. A traditional bridge relies on reshaping the teeth beside the gap to hold it in place, and a removable denture rests on the gums without stimulating the bone underneath, which is why the jaw slowly shrinks under it.

Implants are still not the right answer for everyone. A bridge can make sense when the neighboring teeth already need crowns, and full arch implants combine implant stability with a complete set of teeth for patients missing most of theirs. We will lay out the trade-offs in person, so you choose the option that suits your mouth, your goals and your budget.

Yes. Mini implants are narrower than standard implants and need less bone, and they are often used to steady a loose denture. You can watch how mini implants work before your visit.

For patients replacing a full arch, we offer All-on-4 treatment with same-day temporary teeth, so you leave with teeth on the day your implants are placed. We also offer immediate dentures, which go in on the day teeth are removed. Whether same-day teeth suit your case depends on your bone and your treatment plan, which we check at your evaluation.
