Single Implants in Lombard, IL
Restore your smile and bite strength with a single, durable implant.
WHAT IS A SINGLE IMPLANT?
A single dental implant replaces one missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth. The implant is a titanium post that's surgically placed into your jawbone where the tooth root used to be. After the implant integrates with your bone over 3-6 months, a custom porcelain crown is attached to complete the restoration.
This three-part system (implant post, abutment connector, and crown) creates a permanent tooth replacement that preserves jawbone, prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, and restores full chewing function. Dr. Saeed at ACE Dental ensures each component is precisely placed and crafted for optimal aesthetics and durability.
ARE YOU A SINGLE IMPLANT CANDIDATE in Lombard, IL?
If you're missing a single tooth due to decay, injury, or congenital absence, you're likely a good candidate for a dental implant. The ideal candidate has adequate jawbone density to support the implant, healthy gums, and good overall health.
During your consultation at ACE Dental Center in Lombard, Dr. Azam Saeed will take 3D scans to evaluate your bone structure and determine if additional procedures like bone grafting are needed. Even if you've been missing a tooth for years, implant placement is often still possible with proper planning.

It's a precise investment in your oral health.
TYPES OF SINGLE IMPLANT RESTORATIONS
Once your single implant has integrated with your jawbone, there are different restoration options that can be attached to complete your treatment. Each offers a different level of functionality and aesthetics, depending on what feels right for you.
Single Crown Restoration
With this treatment, a custom-made crown is permanently attached to the implant abutment to replace your missing tooth.
The crown is designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size, providing a seamless appearance. This provides maximum stability and a natural feel, restoring full chewing function and confidence in your smile.
Immediate Load Crown
With this treatment, a temporary crown can be placed on the same day as your implant surgery in select cases.
This allows you to leave with a functional tooth while your implant heals and integrates with the bone. Once healing is complete, the temporary crown is replaced with a permanent restoration for long-term stability.
Custom Abutment Crown
With this treatment, a custom-designed abutment is created to optimize the angle and emergence profile of your crown.
This approach is ideal for front teeth or complex cases where aesthetics are critical, ensuring your restoration looks completely natural while providing the stability and permanence of a fixed solution.
Dr. Azam Saeed examines your mouth and takes 3D cone beam CT scans to assess bone quality and plan precise implant placement.
He discusses timeline, creates digital treatment plans, and answers all your questions about the process at ACE Dental.
Once the area is fully numbed, a small incision is made in the gum to expose the jawbone. This allows the dentist to position the implant in the correct location.
A pilot hole is carefully drilled into the bone. This step must be done with precision to avoid damage to the surrounding bone or gum tissue.
Dr. Azam Saeed gradually expands the opening using a series of drills at controlled speeds. This prepares the bone to securely hold the implant.
The implant is placed into the prepared bone and the gum tissue is positioned to support proper healing. Over the next few months, the implant naturally bonds with the bone.

Several factors may affect the final price of same-day dentures.
These factors include the location of the dentist and the need for additional treatments such as tooth extraction and bone shaping. Although this seems like a large sum, it's considerably less expensive than individually reconstructing and replacing each tooth.
This option also provides more exceptional durability and longevity than old removable dentures.

Single dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. The titanium post integrates permanently with your jawbone, creating a stable foundation that doesn't deteriorate over time.
While the crown may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear, the implant itself is designed to be a permanent solution. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene are key to ensuring your implant's longevity.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during single implant placement thanks to local anesthesia.
You may experience some soreness for a few days after surgery, similar to a tooth extraction, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
The procedure is less invasive than you might expect, and many patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours.
Yes, many patients with bone loss can still receive a single dental implant.
If your jawbone lacks sufficient density or volume, your dentist may recommend a bone grafting procedure first to build up the area. Once the graft has healed and integrated, the implant can be successfully placed. During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your bone health and discuss the best treatment plan for your situation.
