Dental Implants
Missing even one tooth can affect your appearance, bite, and self-esteem.
Our periodontist and implant dentist, Yamen Akhras, DDS, MS, can repair the look, feel, and function of your smile with dental implants and lifelike restorations.
At Premier Dental & Implant Center in Orland Park, IL, we can handle every stage of implant treatment.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Implants Are the Next
Best Thing to Natural Teeth
-
Built to Last
When treated by a specially trained periodontist and implant dentist like Dr. Akhras, you can enjoy long-term benefits from your dental implants. Implant-supported restorations can last for more than 20 years with proper care, and implants themselves can last for over 40 years.
-
Lifelike Appearance
Our implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures are made from advanced materials that mimic the look of a natural tooth. We can even color-match your restorations to blend seamlessly with your smile.
-
Unparalleled Stability
Because dental implants are anchored to your jawbone, they are just as stable as natural teeth. Your implant-supported restorations will never shift out of place, so you can eat and speak with complete comfort.
Implants Can Treat
All Degrees of Tooth Loss
-
Several Missing Teeth
Up to three consecutive missing teeth can be replaced with a custom implant-supported bridge.
-
All Missing Teeth
If you are missing all the teeth along your upper or lower dental arch, an implant-supported denture can fully restore your appearance and bite.
-
Severely Damaged Teeth
We can painlessly extract teeth that are damaged past the point of saving. Your dentist can then replace them with implants and restorations.
-
A Single Missing Tooth
If you have a single missing tooth, a dental implant and crown can fill the gap in your smile.

Implants Also Prevent
Jawbone Recession
/
Your natural tooth roots stimulate your jawbone as you chew. When a tooth is missing, the bone tissue in your jaw begins to atrophy. Over time, this can lead to dental shifting and further tooth loss. Titanium implant posts combat this degenerative process by simulating the function of tooth roots. They fuse with your jawbone in a process known as osseointegration, which helps prevent additional bone and tooth loss while supporting the overall health of your smile.
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 office to complete the process.
