Dental Implants
Missing a tooth? Or several? Missing teeth can change the way you eat, speak, and smile. Dental implants are today’s most advanced solution for replacing teeth with results that look, feel, and function like the real thing. At English Rows Dental Group in Naperville, Dr. Chris Hudetz and our team plan implant restorations that restore confidence and chewing power, from a single tooth to a full smile. We also coordinate your care seamlessly with trusted local specialists for the surgical placement of your implants, so the process stays simple and stress-free.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small, biocompatible post that replaces a missing tooth root. After a specialist places the implant, the site heals and the implant integrates with your bone. We then attach an abutment and a custom restoration—such as a single crown, a bridge, or a full-arch prosthesis—to complete your new tooth (or teeth).

Why do patients choose Dental Implants?
- Natural look & feel
Custom crowns are color-matched to blend with your smile. - Stability you can trust
Implants are anchored in bone for confident chewing—no slipping. - Protects your smile long-term
Helps preserve jawbone and maintain facial support. - Easy to care for
Brush and floss like natural teeth, plus routine checkups.
Reasons for Dental Implants:
- Single Tooth Implant
Replaces one missing tooth with an implant and custom crown—no need to reshape neighboring teeth. - Implant-Supported Bridge
When several teeth in a row are missing, two or more implants can support a fixed bridge, providing a strong, seamless, and non-removable solution. - Implant Overdentures
A removable denture that “snaps” onto implants for improved stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures.
Are You a Dental Implant Candidate?
Good candidates have healthy gums and adequate bone (or the ability to support bone grafting). If you’re missing a single tooth, dislike a loose denture, or want a fixed full-arch solution, implants may be right for you. We’ll review your health history and any medications to tailor a safe and effective plan.
I can smile with complete confidence! I can’t now imagine ever being concerned about appearing in photos. It’s just been a new lease of life. Thank you.
