Restore your smile with permanent, natural-looking dental implants. Bredau Dental provides expert implant placement and restoration in Chicago, offering patients a lasting solution for missing teeth.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with the bone through a process called osseointegration, a custom crown is affixed to create a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are a permanent solution that preserves the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that naturally occurs after tooth loss. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Dental Implants Chicago — FAQs
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and good oral hygiene, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear, but the implant post itself is permanent.
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during placement. Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal afterward and typically managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How much do dental implants cost in Chicago?
A single dental implant in Chicago typically ranges from $3,000–$5,000 including the crown. We offer financing options to make implants accessible. Call (773) 853-2380 for a detailed treatment estimate.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Most dental insurance plans do not cover implants as they are considered elective or cosmetic. However, some plans may cover portions of the procedure. We’ll help you verify your benefits.
How long is the dental implant process from start to finish?
The full implant process typically takes 4–8 months, including the healing period after implant placement. The timeline varies based on individual healing and whether bone grafting is needed first.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a success rate exceeding 95% in healthy patients. Success depends on proper candidacy evaluation, surgical technique, and post-procedure care.
Can I get implants if I have bone loss?
Possibly, yes. Bone grafting can rebuild jawbone density to support an implant. We’ll evaluate your bone structure via 3D imaging at your consultation to determine if a graft is needed.
