Dental implants in Arlington Heights, IL.

Replace a missing tooth, or several, with a permanent, natural-looking implant that lets you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

A permanent solution

The closest thing to a natural tooth.

A missing tooth affects more than your smile. It can change how you eat, how you speak, and even the shape of your face over time. Unlike a bridge or denture, a dental implant replaces the whole tooth, root and all, so it looks, feels, and works like the real thing.

At Parkway Dental Care, Dr. Song uses 3D imaging to plan every implant precisely, and walks you through each step so you always know what to expect. The result is a strong, comfortable tooth that can last a lifetime.

Whether you are missing one tooth or several, an implant can also anchor a bridge or secure a loose denture so it never slips. We will help you find the right option for your smile and your budget.

How a dental implant works

Three simple parts, one natural tooth.

1

The post

A small titanium post is placed in the jaw, acting as a sturdy new tooth root.

2

The connector

A connector, called an abutment, joins the post securely to your new crown.

3

The crown

A custom crown, matched to your teeth, completes the implant. It looks and feels natural.

Replacing one tooth or several

Implants for any size smile.

Whether you are missing a single tooth or your entire smile needs rebuilding, there is an implant-based option built for it.

1

One missing tooth

A single implant post and crown, the most straightforward option, restoring one tooth without touching the ones beside it.

2+

A few missing teeth

A small bridge anchored to two or more implants can replace several teeth in a row without relying on your natural teeth for support.

All

A full arch or full smile

An implant-supported denture anchors a complete upper or lower arch to a handful of implants, giving you a smile that never slips or clicks. For patients who want a simpler procedure, mini implants, a smaller-diameter option, can also secure a denture with less treatment time. Dr. Song will help you find the right fit at your consultation.

Why patients choose implants

Built to look, feel, and last like the real thing.

๐Ÿ˜€

Looks completely natural

Your crown is matched to the shape and shade of your own teeth.

๐ŸŽ

Eat what you love

Implants are anchored in the jaw, so you can bite and chew with full confidence.

๐Ÿฆด

Protects your jaw

The post stimulates the bone, helping prevent the bone loss that follows a missing tooth.

๐Ÿชฅ

Easy to care for

No special routine. Just brush and floss like you would a natural tooth.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Kind to nearby teeth

Unlike a bridge, an implant does not rely on grinding down healthy neighbors.

โณ

Made to last

With good care, an implant can last for decades, often a lifetime.

Good to know

Dental implant questions, answered.

Does getting a dental implant hurt?
The procedure is done under local anesthetic, and most patients tell us it was far easier than they expected. If you feel anxious, we offer gentle sedation to keep you relaxed.
How long does treatment take?
It varies from person to person. After the post is placed, it needs a few months to bond with the bone before the final crown goes on. We give you a clear timeline at your consultation.
Do you offer financing for implants?
Yes. We offer flexible financing and an in-house savings plan, and we review all costs with you upfront so there are no surprises.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, dental implants can last for decades, and often a lifetime.
Can implants replace more than one tooth?
Yes. A few missing teeth can be replaced with a small bridge anchored to implants, and a full arch can be restored with an implant-supported denture or mini implants, giving you a complete smile that never slips.
Am I a candidate for implants?
Most healthy adults with a missing tooth are good candidates. The best way to know for sure is a consultation with 3D imaging, which lets Dr. Song plan precisely for your smile.
