For anyone missing one or more teeth who has put off fixing it, because of the cost, the fear, or the worry of being judged. A dental implant looks and works like a natural tooth, with sedation if you are anxious, and a price we confirm in writing before you commit. Dr. Xhelo Shuaipaj places implants without rushing you or handing you a surprise bill.

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in your jawbone, topped by a connector called an abutment and a crown on top. Together they replace both the root and the visible part of one missing tooth, so it looks and works like a natural tooth. Because it is anchored in the bone, the crown stays put when you eat and speak, without leaning on the teeth around it.
Placed in the jawbone as a new tooth root.
The connector that links the post to the crown.
The visible tooth, matched to your smile.
A dental implant is right for you if you are missing one or more teeth and have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support it. Many people are candidates, and a short consultation with an exam is what confirms it. If there is not enough bone, a bone graft can often rebuild it first, and that is assessed at your consultation rather than assumed.
A single tooth implant replaces it without touching the teeth beside it.
An implant-supported bridge replaces two to three teeth in a row on two implants.
All-on-4 replaces a full arch on four implants.
Dentique Dental Care offers three implant options, matched to how many teeth you are missing, from a single gap up to a full arch. A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth with one implant and a crown, an implant-supported bridge replaces two to three teeth on two implants, and All-on-4 replaces a full arch on four implants.
Replaces one missing tooth with one implant and a crown.
Replaces two to three teeth in a row on two implants.
Replaces a full arch of teeth on four implants.

A dental implant is placed step by step over a few visits across several months, not in a single day. It begins with an exam and a 3D scan, then placing the post, then healing while the bone fuses to it, and finally fitting your crown.
An exam and a cone-beam CT scan to check your bone and plan the implant.
The titanium post is placed in your jawbone, with a bone graft or sinus lift first if needed.
The bone fuses to the post over several weeks to a few months, called osseointegration.
The abutment and your custom crown go on, completing the tooth.
At Dentique, your implant can be done gently with sedation, so an anxious visit does not have to be a hard one. Sedation is a routine part of how we work, not an upsell, and many patients tell us they stayed relaxed through treatment they had dreaded for years. Dr. Xhelo Shuaipaj is trained in sedation as a Fellow of DOCS Education.
Nitrous oxide, breathed in during the visit to help you relax, and wears off quickly.
A pill you take before your appointment so you stay calm and relaxed.
Single Tooth Implant Special
For the implant, the abutment, and the crown together. Cannot be combined with insurance, and confirmed in writing at your consultation.
For an implant-supported bridge or All-on-4 we do not publish a flat local price, because the cost depends on your case. As a general guide these fall within a typical national range, and your exact price is confirmed in writing after your exam. Do not treat a number you see online as your final quote.
Local Downers Grove and Lemont fees for an implant bridge, All-on-4, bone graft, and sinus lift are supplied by the client and shown here before publish.
What changes the price: whether you need a bone graft or a sinus lift, the crown material, and how many teeth you are replacing.
Dentique works with most major PPO dental plans, and we verify your benefits before you commit, so there are no surprises. Most dental insurance plans offer limited coverage for implants rather than paying in full, so it helps to check your specific benefits.

CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit to spread the cost over time.
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth on its own, without touching the teeth on either side of the gap. A dental bridge rests on the neighboring teeth and needs them filed down to hold it, and a denture is removable and usually costs less up front, though it feels less like a natural tooth.
| Compare | Dental implant | Dental bridge | Denture |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A titanium post plus a crown | Crowns spanning a gap | A removable replacement |
| Touches nearby teeth | No | Yes, they are filed down | No |
| Feel | Closest to a natural tooth | Fixed, feels solid | Removable, less natural |
| Typical relative cost | Higher up front | Middle | Lower up front |
| Longevity | Long-lasting with good care | Many years | Replaced or relined over time |
Which is right for you depends on your remaining teeth, your jawbone, and your budget, and we help you weigh that at your consultation.
Dental implants are a safe, well-established, and widely used way to replace missing teeth. With good daily care, an implant can last for years. How long they last for you depends on your health, your oral hygiene, and how well the bone heals around the post, a process called osseointegration.
Brushing and flossing daily.
Which helps the gum and bone stay healthy.
So any issue is caught early.

Dr. Xhelo Shuaipaj is a dentist with more than 30 years of experience and a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI). That matters because he both places and restores your implant himself, as your one dentist, in one practice you can stay with for years, rather than being passed between offices. A free implant second opinion is available if you want a second view on a plan you already have.

The Single Tooth Implant Special is $2,995, which covers the implant, the abutment, and the crown together. That price cannot be combined with insurance, and we confirm it in writing at your consultation.
Getting an implant usually takes several visits over a few months, because the bone needs time to heal and fuse to the post before the crown goes on. Your exact timeline is set at your consultation.
Most dental plans offer limited coverage for implants rather than paying in full, so it is worth checking your benefits. Dentique works with most major PPO plans and verifies your coverage before you commit.
Yes. You can have nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or oral conscious sedation to stay relaxed during your implant. These are the two sedation options offered at Dentique.
It depends on your teeth, bone, and budget. An implant stands on its own without filing down the teeth beside the gap, while a bridge relies on those neighboring teeth. We help you compare both at your consultation.
Whether same-day placement suits your case is assessed at your consultation, and we will not promise a timeline we cannot keep. Ask us when you call and we will tell you honestly.
