A Lasting Fix for Missing Teeth: Dental Implants, Sandwich, IL
When you're missing one tooth — or several — you deserve a replacement that looks, feels, and works like the real thing. At Sandwich Dentistry, our experienced team places and restores dental implants right here in our Sandwich, IL office, so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.
Why Patients Choose Dental Implants
Unlike dentures that can slip or bridges that rely on neighboring teeth, a dental implant replaces your tooth from root to crown. A small titanium post bonds with your jawbone to create a sturdy foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture.
The result looks natural, feels secure, and helps preserve the jawbone that supports your facial structure. With good home care and regular checkups, implants can last for decades — often a lifetime.
Placed with BioHorizons® Tapered Pro™ Conical Implants
Placed with BioHorizons® Tapered Pro™ Conical Implants
We place BioHorizons Tapered Pro Conical implants — a system named to Dentistry Today's Readers' Choice Top 25 Implant Products. Its deep 7.5° conical connection is engineered for exceptional positional stability, while the tapered body and aggressive thread design build strong primary stability, even in challenging bone.
The Laser-Lok® microchannel collar encourages a natural soft-tissue attachment and helps preserve crestal bone for healthy, esthetic results. In many cases, this design also supports immediate placement — so your treatment can move forward without unnecessary delay.
Bite-Sized Answers: Dental Implant FAQs
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. Placement is done with local anesthesia, and sedation options are available if you'd like to be more relaxed. Any mild soreness afterward is usually managed with over-the-counter pain relief for a few days.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, the implant itself can last for decades — often a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacement after many years of normal wear, much like a natural tooth might need a crown refreshed.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults who are missing one or more teeth are candidates. You'll need healthy gums and enough jawbone to support the implant — and when bone is thin, grafting can often rebuild it first. A consultation with 3D imaging lets us plan your placement precisely and confirm you're a good candidate.
How long does the implant process take?
It depends on your situation. In some cases, an implant can be placed the same day a tooth is removed. After placement, the implant typically needs a few months to fuse with the bone before the final crown is attached. At your consultation, we'll map out a timeline tailored to you.
