What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that replace the roots of missing teeth. Once placed in the jawbone, they serve as a strong foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or even a full arch restoration. Implants restore both the function and beauty of your smile, giving you the confidence to enjoy life without worrying about slipping dentures or gaps in your teeth. At our Naperville office, every implant plan is personalized, blending advanced technology with artistry to create results that feel seamless and natural.
Benefits of Dental Implants
A confident, natural-looking smile
Implants are designed to look, feel, and function just like real teeth, so no one will be able to tell the difference.
Long-term stability
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants fuse with your jawbone, providing unmatched durability and preventing the bone loss that often happens after tooth loss.
Freedom to enjoy what you love
From crunchy apples to your favorite steak, implants let you eat, laugh, and speak without hesitation. They give you the freedom to live life fully, without holding back.
Your treatment
process
Consultation and 3D Imaging
Your journey begins with a thorough exam, digital scans, and 3D imaging. This allows Dr. Kristina to evaluate your bone health, discuss your goals, and map out a plan that’s just right for you.
Treatment Planning and Preparation
Some patients may need preparatory procedures like bone grafting or a sinus lift to create the most stable foundation for implants. We’ll walk you through these steps in detail, and for those who feel anxious, sedation options are always available to ensure a relaxed experience.
Precise Implant Placement
On the day of surgery, your implant post is gently placed into the jawbone using advanced technology for maximum accuracy. We may incorporate PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) to encourage healing and reduce recovery time.
Healing and Integration
Over the next few months, your implant naturally fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. During this phase, we’ll check in with you regularly to make sure everything is healing as planned and provide a temporary solution if needed.
Custom Restoration and Reveal
Once your implant is fully integrated, we’ll attach a beautiful, custom-crafted crown, bridge, or denture. This is the moment patients love—the reveal of a confident, complete smile that feels entirely natural.

common questions
Absolutely. Dental implants are often part of a bigger smile transformation. Many patients choose to combine implants with cosmetic treatments like veneers or whitening to create an overall brighter, more youthful appearance. If you’ve been considering facial aesthetics or restorative work, we can design a plan that ties everything together for a cohesive, natural look.
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution, and with the right care, they can last decades—or even a lifetime. The implant post itself is made of titanium, which integrates with your bone. The restoration (like a crown or bridge) may eventually need replacement due to normal wear, but the implant foundation is built to last. Regular dental checkups will help us keep everything in top shape.
