Dental Implant Resources For You
Smile for years to come with the clinically-recommended solution for missing teeth: dental implants. As fixed additions to your mouth, they naturally fit into your smile and function like your own teeth.
Crown
The crown, or tooth, is located at the top of your implant and functions like your natural tooth or teeth.
Implant
The implant, or tooth root, is placed beneath the surface of your gums in your jaw bone for a secure fit.
Abutment
The abutment keeps the crown in place on top of your implant, so your new teeth look as natural as your original ones—if not better.

Dental Implants Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants made of?
Dental implants are a popular and effective long-term solution for people suffering from missing teeth, failing teeth or chronic dental problems. They are artificial tooth roots placed into your jawbone to support replacement teeth and to restore the look and function of your smile.
When dental implants are placed in your jawbone, they bond with your natural bone, which is why they’re the strongest restoration option, second only to natural teeth. They become a sturdy base for supporting one or more artificial teeth, and can last 25 years or more.
They’re comprised of 3 pieces:
Implant: The implant itself is a titanium screw that acts as a root for your new teeth. This is what permanently attaches to your jaw.
Abutment: This is a permanent but removable component that supports and holds a tooth or set of teeth in place atop an implant.
Crown: This is the part of the tooth that you can see. It’s usually made of zirconium or porcelain for durability and good looks.
Who is not a good candidate for dental implants?
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for dental implants. For individuals who experience or do any of the following, dental implants may not be for you due to challenges you could face with healing, jaw bone density and more.
- Uncontrolled chronic diseases like diabetes or autoimmune disorders
- Heavy smokers, or those who consume excessive alcohol
- Insufficient bone density in your jaw can also make it difficult for implants to properly integrate
- Individuals undergoing radiation therapy
- Individuals taking certain medications that affect bone health
No matter what you’re experiencing, a thorough evaluation by a dental professional is crucial to determine if you have the necessary oral health, overall health and bone structure to support successful implant placement. Make sure to consult your local Forever Dental implant expert for a prognosis and treatment plan that best fits your needs.
Why Our Patients Love Us
Dr. Patel is amazing. She saved one of my molars when I was told somewhere else it had to be pulled. She did a crown which fit perfectly. I haven’t had any issues with my crown. I often forget I had one done. She is thorough, and makes you feel so comfortable. I never liked going to the dentist but Dr. Patel makes me look forward to seeing her. I live in the south suburbs and she is worth the drive.
I had my dental appointment yesterday and it was my first most extensive consultation of my teeth ever. Yes, it’s uncomfortable meanwhile interesting to know the condition of my oral health. Dentist Reshma explained thoroughly how concerning the issue I have and the gravity of it. On the other hand, the staffs were doing great in welcoming and accommodating customers. Samantha and the other staff displays their job expertise very well.
Everyone that works in this office is very friendly and professional. I first came in after not having dental insurance for a while, and it had been years since my last dentist visit, and they did a consultation visit to see what needed to be done. They made what is normally an unpleasant experience (cavities and crowns) quick and painless.
Forever Dental on Archer is awesome! I’ve had nothing but great encounters with Dr. Patel and all support staff. I recently started treatment with Invisalign braces and the process has been very comfortable and straightforward. If you are looking for a great Dental office, I’d highly recommend Forever Dental.
My mother has been treated with so much respect here, I had to try them out. Mom was right! I love going to the dentist now, they service on time and with the upmost priority to help and care for you. Every one is friendly, patient, and helpful in terms of communicating the in’s and out’s of the insurance offering, etc. I highly recommend. They have an excellent staff. Thank you Forever Dental ?
I recently visited Forever Dental for my first appointment at the facility , and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment I walked in, the office staff, Yessenia and Karla were welcoming and professional, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free, which immediately put me at ease.
Dr. Dhake and the hygienist, Karla, took the time to explain everything in detail, from the x rays, exam process to the treatment plan. They were gentle, thorough, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I even was offered essential oils -lavender- to help calm my nerves, it helped to relax me and I will use it again next time I visit, I also appreciated how they answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. They were accommodating to my schedule and were able to fit in an X-rays, exam, cleaning and dental work-cavity treatments all in one visit.
This team made the experience of going to the dentist a pleasant one and I feel confident that I’m in great hands here (which hasn’t always been the case at other dentist offices). Now it’s time to make an appointment for my husband, he is long overdue.
If you’re looking for a skilled, caring, and professional dental team, I highly recommend Forever Dental!
