The sticker shock of implant pricing stops many Downers Grove residents from moving forward — but delaying often makes the final cost higher. Here is why that happens.
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath the gap starts to shrink within months. That process, called bone resorption, changes your bite, your facial structure, and crucially — your candidacy for an implant. Patients who wait years often need a bone graft before placement, which adds $500 to $3,000 nationally.
There is a second problem. The neighboring teeth on either side of the gap begin to drift toward the empty space over time. What started as a single missing tooth becomes a misalignment issue affecting two or three teeth — and treatment becomes more complex.
Cost is a real concern. But the math of delay rarely works in your favor.
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. The post fuses with surrounding bone through osseointegration, then a porcelain crown is attached on top. The result looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
An implant has three components: the implant post (a titanium screw placed into the jawbone — the artificial tooth root), the abutment (a small connector piece that attaches to the post once bone fusion is confirmed), and the crown (a custom porcelain tooth, color-matched to your natural teeth). All three are included in Dentique’s $5,500–$6,500 price. Nothing billed separately.
For patients who feel anxious about the procedure, sedation dentistry at Dentique is available for implant placements at our Downers Grove office.
Implants come in several configurations depending on how many teeth need replacement. Most Downers Grove patients pursue a single tooth implant; complex cases are evaluated at the free consultation.
Single tooth implants are the most common procedure at Dentique. For patients missing multiple teeth or a full arch, the implant-supported bridge or All-on-4 approach may be more appropriate — both are evaluated at the free consultation with 3D imaging.
| Procedure | What It Is | Best For | Price at Dentique |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Tooth Implant | One implant post + abutment + crown | Adults missing one tooth due to decay, injury, or extraction | $5,500–$6,500 all-inclusive |
| Implant-Supported Bridge | Two implants support a bridge spanning multiple teeth | Patients missing 2–3 consecutive teeth in a row | Discussed at consultation |
| All-on-4 Implants | Four implants support a full arch of replacement teeth | Patients missing most or all teeth in an arch | Discussed at consultation |
*The price is variable depending on the type of patient and the treatment required — it depends on a lot of factors and the figures above are for reference only.
Every implant at Dentique follows a structured process. Most patients tell us the procedure was far less involved than they expected. The full timeline runs 3 to 9 months from consultation to final crown.
Free consultation with cone-beam CT (3D) scanning evaluates bone density, gum health, and overall candidacy. Once cleared, Dr. Shuaipaj places the titanium post into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation in the same or follow-up visit. Procedure typically completed in under an hour for a single implant.
Over 3 to 6 months, the titanium post fuses with the surrounding jawbone — this is osseointegration. You go about your normal life. Most patients return for one short check-in to confirm healing is on track.
Once bone fusion is confirmed, a small connector (the abutment) is attached to the implant post. This is a brief 30-minute appointment with minimal discomfort.
A custom porcelain crown — fabricated to match your natural tooth color and shape — is permanently placed on the abutment. Routine checkups and good oral hygiene are all that is required long-term. Well-maintained implants routinely last 25+ years.
Dentique is the only implant dentist in DG who publishes an all-in price before you walk in the door. Here is what that means for you:
Patients who delayed treatment elsewhere because they could not get a clear number on cost consistently describe the experience the same way: worth every penny once they finally got a number they could trust.
Most adults who are missing one or more teeth are good candidates for tooth implant DG placement. The factors that matter most are bone density and gum health — not age. Good candidates include:
Patients who should consult first: active smokers (smoking significantly increases implant failure risk), patients with uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune conditions, and patients with severe bone loss who may need a bone graft first. Downers Grove residents are welcome to book a free initial consultation to evaluate your specific case. No commitment required.
A single dental implant at Dentique Downers Grove starts from $5,500–$6,500. That price includes the titanium implant post, the abutment connector, and the custom porcelain crown — the complete tooth replacement.
A payment plan is available to break the investment into monthly amounts. See flexible payment options for CareCredit and in-house financing details. Most standard dental plans have limited coverage for implants — the crown portion may be partially covered. Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans may include some dental benefit. Check with our team about your specific coverage.

Sedation Dentist, DG & Lemont
Dr. Xhelo Shuaipaj is a licensed general and implant dentist who holds the credentials and licensing required by the State of Illinois for surgical implant placement. He has performed hundreds of implant procedures at our Downers Grove office since 2018.
What sets his approach apart is the planning. Every implant case starts with a 3D scan and detailed treatment plan reviewed with the patient before any procedure. The placement plan is mapped out in advance, surprises during surgery are eliminated, and recovery is predictable.
Dr. Shuaipaj also offers sedation dentistry for implant patients who feel anxious about the procedure. To learn more about his background and training, visit Dr. Shuaipaj’s credentials.

It's nice to feel at ease, like the people taking care of you actually care!!! That was as important to me, if not more, than the dental work itself. Top notch all the way around."

At Dentique in Downers Grove, a single dental implant starts from $5,500–$6,500 all-inclusive, covering the implant post, abutment, and crown — the complete tooth replacement. Most national pricing breaks these into separate components, so total cost varies. We confirm your price in writing at the free consultation. Final cost varies by patient and treatment complexity.
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover dental implants. Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) may include some dental benefit — coverage varies by plan and provider. Our team will verify your specific coverage before treatment so the out-of-pocket figure is locked in upfront.
Yes. Adults in their 70s and 80s regularly receive dental implants with excellent long-term outcomes. Age alone is not a disqualifying factor. The more important factors are bone density and overall health — both evaluated at the free consultation with 3D imaging.
Implants are permanently fixed to the jawbone; dentures are removable. That difference has significant consequences. Implants replace the tooth root, which preserves jawbone over time. Dentures sit on top of the gums and accelerate bone loss. Our implants vs. dentures guide walks through the full comparison.
