Hands down - Dental implants uncover your
smile
The first thing most people notice about you is your smile. And you know it. Studies indicate that our smile is the No. 1 focal point most people are self-conscious about, more so than weight, hair, complexion, physical shape, and dress. Keeping our mouth closed or covered, especially if we have missing teeth is no way to go through life. Today, having less than a successful smile and a healthy mouth are totally unnecessary because of the great strides made in today's technology.
At the forefront is Your Implant Solutions, a leader in the field because dental implants are the ONLY focus of its team of experienced doctors. Utilizing an "All-in-One" concept, Implant Solutions conveniently provides implant surgeons, restorative dentists, dedicated dental implant labs, personal patient coordinators and the latest technology - such as 3D iCAT scanners - all in one facility, all under one roof.
And the really compelling thing is that you can go from dentures to dazzling in one day. One day! You can literally walk through the door in the morning and have one tooth, several teeth or a full arch replacement in one visit. Dentures and partials are now a thing of the past. Implants are not only the standard of care for missing teeth, but are the only substitute for natural tooth roots that stimulate bone growth, helping to remove that sinking facial structure and wrinkles one experiences with dentures.
Just how does this innovative solution work? A dental implant is simply a substitute tooth root that serves the same function as a natural tooth root. "It is a replacement for the root of that missing tooth," explains Dr. Spiro Karras, oral and maxillofacial surgeon with Implant Solutions.
An implant preserves bone that in turn provides a stable foundation for a replacement tooth that looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth. Dental implants are made of titanium, which is a bio-friendly material used in orthopedic implants. "We know that dental implants have a positive affect on someone's overall health, appearance and well being," says Karras.
Implants are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to the embarrassment and difficulty of dentures. Using a totally different technology, dental implants act and feel more like real teeth because they are supported by a similar root structure. This permanent system improves overall lifestyle, especially oral health, and boosts confidence.
Implant Solutions is one of a few dental implant centers in the country offering Immediate Function procedures for replacing missing teeth. A high-resolution 3D scan is used with virtual software to plan and facilitate the design and fabrication of your replacement teeth.
"The procedure itself has minimal discomfort, says Brian Shah MD, oral surgeon with Implant Solutions, "similar to that of other dental procedures. Patients often tell me they wish they had done it sooner."
Shah believes a primary benefit of Implant Solutions as opposed to more traditional care is that it eliminates the need for a patient to travel from dental office to dental office. "This is our specialty. Our two surgical centers offer an all-in-one, state of the art facility, providing comprehensive care for patients," he adds.
A complimentary consultation helps patients understand everything involved in the process, including treatment options, estimated cost and time-line. The client speaks with an implant coordinator who reviews information about the patient's overall health and specific dental needs, as well as any immediate concerns.
Implant Solutions brings this service to the public through five convenient consultation centers in Chicago's Gold Coast, Hoffman Estates, Downers Grove, Lake Forest, and Homewood/Flossmoor, of which two are implant centers and surgical suites. Call 312.337.5868 or toll free at 800.250.3500 to make an appointment, or for more information visit www.YourImplantSolutions.com.
