Dental Implants in Champaign, IL

Dental implants serve as an artificial tooth root made of biocompatible materials. They are surgically placed into your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone over time. This creates a stable foundation for a replacement tooth, known as a dental crown, which looks and functions just like a natural tooth.

• Natural Appearance: Dental implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a beautiful and functional smile.
• Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term solution for tooth loss.
• Preservation of Jawbone: Implants help prevent bone deterioration that often occurs with missing teeth, maintaining your facial structure and preventing premature aging.
• Improved Functionality: Unlike dentures, dental implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
• Easy Maintenance: Caring for dental implants is as simple as caring for your natural teeth. Brush and floss daily and maintain regular dental check-ups to ensure their longevity.

The dental implant process typically involves several steps:

• Initial Consultation: Our team will evaluate your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants.
• Implant Placement: The titanium implant is surgically placed into your jawbone under local anesthesia.
• Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implant will fuse with the jawbone, creating a strong foundation.
• Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made dental crown is attached to the implant completing the restoration.

The cost of dental implants can vary based on several factors, including the number of implants needed, and your specific treatment plan. Dental implants are an investment in your smile and can last a lifetime with proper care. At Mitchem Dental we ensure you are fully informed about costs before any work begins.
