Dental Implants in Chicago
Restore your smile with confidence. At Minty Dental Boutique in Chicago’s Forest Glen neighborhood, Dr. Tamara Marjan provides personalized dental implant solutions designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or need a full-arch restoration, our modern techniques and compassionate approach help patients across Sauganash, Edgebrook, Jefferson Park, and surrounding Northwest Chicago communities enjoy lasting results.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium or zirconia posts that replace missing tooth roots. Once placed in the jawbone, they bond naturally with bone tissue through a process called osseointegration, forming a stable base for your new tooth or restoration.
At Minty Dental Boutique, we use 3D imaging and guided implant placement technology to ensure precision, comfort, and long-term durability—so your new teeth feel completely natural.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Choosing dental implants can dramatically improve both your oral health and quality of life. Patients throughout Forest Glen, Sauganash, Edgebrook, and Jefferson Park often notice:
- A stronger bite and ability to eat their favorite foods again
- Natural appearance and seamless smile restoration
- Prevention of bone loss after tooth extraction
- Improved speech and facial structure support
- Long-term value compared to bridges or dentures
With proper care, implants can last decades—often longer than any other tooth replacement option.
Types of Dental Implant Solutions We Offer
Every smile is unique, and so are implant treatments. Dr. Marjan designs custom plans that match your goals and budget, including:
Single-Tooth Dental Implants
Ideal for replacing one missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Perfect for patients missing several adjacent teeth—supported by two or more implants for maximum stability.
Full-Arch Dental Implants
Replace an entire upper or lower arch with four to six implants supporting a full, fixed bridge or denture (“All-on-4” or “All-on-6” concept).
Implant-Retained Dentures
Snap-in or removable dentures anchored by implants for better comfort and chewing ability.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
You may be a candidate for dental implants if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Have healthy gums and adequate jawbone
- Don’t smoke or are willing to quit during healing
- Are seeking a long-term, fixed tooth replacement
If bone loss has occurred, Dr. Marjan may recommend a bone graft or sinus lift to rebuild strength for successful implant placement. Each case is evaluated individually to ensure safe, predictable outcomes.
Our Dental Implant Process
1. Consultation and 3D Evaluation
Your journey begins with a digital consultation and CBCT 3D scan, allowing our team to assess your bone structure and map out the most precise placement plan.
2. Guided Implant Placement
Using computer-guided technology, your implant is placed gently into the jawbone. We offer oral sedation by prescription to help you stay relaxed and comfortable during the procedure.
3. Healing and Integration
Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a durable foundation for your restoration. Temporary crowns can be placed if desired for aesthetic comfort.
4. Final Restoration
Once healed, your custom crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis is attached—crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery is typically smooth. Mild soreness or swelling can last a few days but is easily managed with over-the-counter medication. Most patients return to normal routines within 24–48 hours.
To keep your implants healthy:
- Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush
- Floss gently around the implant area
- Visit us every six months for cleanings and exams
With consistent care, dental implants can last 20 years or longer.
Cost of Dental Implants in Chicago
Implant pricing varies based on how many teeth are replaced, whether grafting is required, and the type of restoration. On average, dental implants in Chicago can range from $3,500–$5,500 per tooth, though each case is unique.
At Minty Dental Boutique, you’ll always receive a personalized estimate and transparent explanation of your treatment options before we begin.

Alternatives to Dental Implants
While implants are often the best long-term choice, they’re not the only one. Depending on your needs, we may also discuss:
- Traditional bridges — effective for single gaps when adjacent teeth are healthy
- Partial or full dentures — removable, budget-friendly options
- Mini implants or implant-retained dentures — ideal for those with limited bone
Dr. Marjan will walk you through each choice to help you make an informed decision.
