Dental Implants in Northbrook, IL

A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically implanted into the jawbone beneath the gum line. This titanium post will act as the tooth root, providing a strong foundation for the replacement tooth. Then Dr. Engelberg will use that to attach a replacement tooth. Dental implants don’t come loose like dentures and can last a lifetime if you care for them and visit your dentist regularly.

Dr. Engelberg will use dental implants in his Northbrook, IL dental office to replace a single missing tooth, a dental bridge, or to secure a denture for the upper or lower arch of teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  • 98% success rate (highest rate compared to other dental procedures)
  • Maintains bone density
  • Avoids degradation of healthy teeth (as in conventional bridgework)
  • Improves the appearance of the smile and lower face
  • Patients can eat food without restrictions
  • No worry of dentures slipping or falling out
  • Looks, feels & functions like a natural tooth
  • Long-lasting solution

The Dental Implant Procedure

The procedure for dental implants requires multiple visits over several months. After the comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Engelberg will create a personalized treatment plan. The entire implant process usually takes six to eight months, and most patients don’t experience a disruption to their daily lives.

Dr. Engelberg will coordinate the surgical phase of the dental implant procedure with a local Northbrook, IL oral surgeon and follow up with your care to ensure a good result. Metal anchors and small posts are surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as tooth root substitutes. The dental implants will be allowed to heal and integrate with the natural bone, serving as the stable anchors for the new teeth. The healing process can take about three to six months.

Depending on your case and the position of the missing teeth or tooth, a temporary crown may be placed in the mouth while the implant heals. Once your gums have healed, Dr. Engelberg will attach your permanent restoration. Whether it is a crown, bridge, or denture, it is custom-made to fit your smile and bring back both function and natural appearance.

Patient Review

"Hi! I'm Les' wife, Eydie, using his FaceBook page. Well, where do I begin? I've been with this dental group for almost 35 years and when Dr. Engelberg took over the practice, we remained. My words can only help you make a decision to have your dental care here, but you truly need to experience this for yourself. I promise you, you won't go anywhere else! Dr. Engelberg takes a personal interest in my dental health and has always fit me in for emergencies. He's friendly, professional and caring. Most of all, he's a darn good dentist! I've been fortunate enough to have Margaret as my hygeniest, a great technician who cares about the quality of her work. We go way back .. we've watched our own families grow. Occasionally, other technicians have taken care of me ... they all have set high standards. The office staff greets you and makes you feel that you're an important part of making the entire practice a success. High quality work, competent employees, friendliness. Why go somewhere else? Become part of the family!"Les M.
