Advanced Tools and Techniques Help Dr. Akhras Restore His Patients' Smiles
Dr. Akhras uses sophisticated technology to give our patients the best that modern dentistry and oral surgery offer. His cutting-edge tools are designed to streamline the treatment planning process, promote the accuracy of our procedures, and ensure patient comfort every step of the way.
Dr. Akhras uses cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to create a detailed 3D view of your mouth. With this advanced imaging in hand, he uses computer-guided surgery to place your implants precisely.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dental Implants Create Stable Smiles and Restored Bites
While traditional dental implant surgery may require eight implants to hold your new teeth in place, Dr. Akhras can use All-on-4® and All-on-6 dental implants to support a denture with fewer implants. This involves our dentist placing implants at strategic angles in the strongest areas of your jawbone with the best chance of resisting atrophy.
Thanks to the All-on-4 technique, many of Dr. Akhras' implant patients can skip preparatory bone grafting or sinus lifts to restore jaw density. Find out if you qualify today.
Our Advanced Services Allow Us to Welcome Complex Cases
If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for dental implants because of poor oral health or insufficient jawbone density, we invite you to come in for a free consultation anyway. Our Orland Park office offers many advanced treatment options, like periodontal therapy, guided tissue regeneration, bone grafting, and sinus lifts, that can alleviate gum disease, strengthen your jawbone, and help you qualify for dental implants.

Implants Start at $2,500
At our Orland Park practice, a single dental implant, abutment, and crown starts at $2,500, much lower than the national average of $3,000-$4,500. However, because everyone’s care plan is different, involving different preparatory procedures and a varied number of implants, everyone’s total cost is different.
We offer free consultations for implant patients and will provide you with an estimate during your meeting.
Take a Look at How Dental Implants Work
Dental implant treatment uses three components:
- A titanium implant integrates with your jawbone tissue to replace missing tooth roots.
- An abutment piece sits atop the implant.
- An implant-supported restoration connects to the abutment.
It typically takes three visits to our Orland Park office to complete the process.

Improve Your Eligibility for Implants With Safe Supplementary Procedures
Not everyone will be a good candidate for dental implants due to factors like poor bone density or overall oral health. However, with the proper treatment, dental implants may become an option. We're here to help you achieve a new smile using in-office procedures like:
Periodontal Treatment
Many patients who need implants are living with periodontal disease or gum disease. Symptoms range from loose teeth to receding gums, and they can even include tooth loss. We'll make sure your gums are healthy before your dental implant treatment so that your results truly last.
Bone Grafting
In order to be a dental implant candidate, you need to have healthy gums and sufficient bone density. Otherwise, your dental implants will not be able to fuse into place. Luckily, our team offers bone grafting to strengthen your jawbone and create a strong foundation for your new implants.
Sinus Lifts
If you've lost a tooth or experienced periodontal disease in your upper jaw, your bone may have deteriorated. In other cases, your natural anatomy might not support an implant. With a sinus lift, we can graft bone into the area. This allows our Orland Park patients to have enough healthy, strong bone to support their new dental implants.

Worried About Pain
During the Implant Process?
Sedation Dentistry Can Ensure Your Comfort
Many patients feel nervous about visiting the dentist, even just for a routine cleaning. If the thought of dental implant surgery is making you anxious, talk to Dr. Akhras about your options for sedation dentistry. Sedation can help you remain completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
We offer oral conscious sedation and IV sedation at our practice. Dr. Akhras has special training in IV sedation and is licensed to administer it in both Illinois and Wisconsin. We can also bring in an anesthesiologist if necessary. Sedation can induce a deep state of relaxation and ensure you feel comfortable during treatment.

Dental Implant Aftercare Tips
Caring for your dental implants and implant-supported restorations is relatively straightforward. Just be mindful of the following aftercare advice:
Practice Good Oral Hygiene
Be sure to brush your implant restorations and any remaining teeth with a soft-bristle toothbrush at least twice a day. You will also want to floss at least once a day. You can use superfloss or a water flosser to clean around your implants and help remove food particles.
Visit Us for Checkups
Schedule regular dental cleanings and exams every six months. This will allow your dentist to monitor the condition of your dental implants and your implant-supported prostheses.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants in Orland Park, IL
How long will my dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and professional care, your dental implants can last a lifetime. Your implant restorations, however, have a lifespan of about 10 years. This is normal and due to regular wear and tear. Eventually, you will need your crown, bridgework, or denture replaced.
What is peri-implantitis and can it be prevented?
Also referred to as peri-implant disease, peri-implantitis is a type of inflammation that develops around a dental implant. It affects the surrounding jawbone and gum tissue. Peri-implantitis can be prevented with good oral hygiene. If you notice persistent bad breath, swollen gums, looseness around an implant, bleeding in the mouth, or pain while chewing, be sure to contact our Orland Park periodontist right away.
What are the chances my implant will fail?
The chances of implant failure are thankfully low thanks to the high success rate for treatment. According to a critical review from the Journal of Functional Biomaterials, the survival rate of an implant after 13.4 years is 94.6%. To ensure lasting success, feel free to contact us if you have any concerns.
