How implant treatment works, who does it, and implant-related specialists and general dentists in Buffalo Grove, Illinois from the public NPI registry.
An implant replaces a missing tooth root with a small post in the jawbone, which later supports a crown, bridge or denture. Treatment usually takes a few months from start to finish because the bone needs to heal around the implant.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons and periodontists often place the implant. Prosthodontists and general dentists often design and fit the tooth on top. Many general dentists also place implants. Ask who does each step and how many cases like yours they have handled.
Our directory lists 3 oral and maxillofacial surgeons, 5 periodontists and 1 prosthodontist with a practice address in Buffalo Grove.
