Rebuilding Your Complete Smile With Dental Implants
Dental Implants at Z Dental Care
At Z Dental Care, we understand the importance of a healthy, confident smile. That’s why we specialize in providing dental implants, a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth. Our dedicated team of dental professionals in Chicago is committed to offering the kind of dental implants Chicago patients prefer, ensuring high-quality results that not only restore functionality but also enhance your smile’s natural beauty.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them. Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth. Dentures and bridges mounted to implants won’t slip or shift in your mouth — an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. This secure fit helps the dentures and bridges — as well as individual crowns placed over implants — feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
For many patients at Z Dental Care, dental implants are the preferred solution for missing teeth due to their numerous benefits:
- Durability: Implants are durable and can last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike a tooth-supported bridge, dental implants don’t require reducing other teeth. More of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
- Convenience: Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.
- Improved Comfort and Speech: Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures. Patients often report that speech improves as well compared to when they had poor-fitting dentures.
- Enhanced Self-Esteem: Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself. Missing teeth can be a source of embarrassment, but implants provide a cosmetically superior solution.

The Dental Implants Process
Getting dental implants involves several steps, all performed with your comfort and care in mind:
- Consultation and Planning: During your initial consultation, we assess your oral health and discuss your dental history and treatment goals. This stage often involves X-rays and 3D images to accurately plan the implant procedure.
- Implant Placement: The implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone. Local anesthesia and sedation options are available to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
- Healing and Integration: After the implant is placed, a period of healing follows, during which the implant integrates with the bone — a process known as osseointegration. This can take several months.
- Abutment and Crown Placement: Once the implant has fused to the jawbone, an abutment is attached to the post. Then, the new artificial tooth (crown) is attached to the abutment. In some cases, temporary teeth may be placed while waiting for the implant to integrate.
