Eighteen minutes each way is worth planning around. So we tell you the whole order of treatment before the first appointment is booked.

Sometimes the bone
comes first.

Not every jaw is ready for an implant on day one. Where a tooth has been gone a while, the bone that used to hold it can dissolve away. Where the upper back teeth are missing, the sinus can sit lower than we need it to.

Both have answers. We can graft bone to build the site up, or lift the sinus to make height. Either one adds time before the post can go in, and the wait is longer than a straightforward case.

What matters for a drive like yours is knowing that up front. We tell you the sequence, and roughly when each visit falls, before we start. Some patients get a smaller temporary over the area so the space does not look empty while the site matures.

La Grange asks

Planning it
around the drive.

Will I need a bone graft?

We will know after the 3D cone beam scan. It measures the height, width and density of the bone at the site. If a graft or a sinus lift is needed, we tell you before anything is scheduled.

How much longer does grafting add?

It adds healing time before the post can go in. The exact wait depends on the site, and we give you the dates for your case rather than a general number.

Can several visits be combined?

Some steps can be. Healing time cannot, because the bone sets its own pace. We give you the dates for your own case rather than a general number.

What is the drive like?

8.8 miles, about 18 minutes. Ogden Ave west, Route 83 south, then 63rd Street west to our corner at Williams.

How do people pay for implant treatment?

We are in-network with Delta Premier, and CareCredit payment plan options are available. Before major treatment we give you an estimate of your coverage and your copayment.

What if I decide not to go ahead?

That is a fine answer. The consult exists so you can make the decision with real information. Nothing is booked until you say so.
