When to get dental implants

Considering dental implants? Now may be the right time to see if you qualify. Discover if implants could be the right solution for you with guidance from our implant experts.

Signs it may be time for dental implants

If you’re ready to get back to loving how you look and feel, a customized dental implant treatment plan can restore your smile and confidence. Do these signs look familiar to you? If so, it’s time to take the next step.

Missing teeth

Dental implants can replace one tooth or multiple teeth. Each surgically placed implant will be nearly as strong and durable as your natural teeth. Plus, they are visually indistinguishable so you can eat and talk confidently again.

Sunken facial appearance

When you lose your teeth, your jawbone can shrink and lose its mass due to lack of stimulation. Over time, this bone loss can lead to changes in your facial structure and may cause you to look older than you are. Implants can prevent this from happening and help you see that familiar face in the mirror again.

Want a denture alternative

Maybe you’re dealing with a loose denture or bridge, or you’re tired of using denture adhesives. Dental implants are a great alternative to conventional dentures because they are permanently part of your mouth. Take a step up and explore our secure-fitting implant denture—or restore your entire smile with full-mouth implants.

When Sheree found Forever Dental, she was struggling with her partial denture. She didn’t have a go-to dentist, but by the time her first visit was over, she had a whole team supporting her.

Planning together

Together with her new implant expert and care team, she explored holistic, long-term options designed for her dental needs today and tomorrow.

After choosing dental implants, Sheree took the next step to extract teeth with a team dedicated to keeping her comfortable throughout her journey.

Smile and live again.

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.

Very Good service every time I take my kids. Always greeted politely at the front desk. Dr.Reshma Dhake is the best dentist I’ve encountered. It’s always a pleasure going to dentist and greeting Dr. Dhake. Very good service. Very pleased and satisfied. Would highly recommend.

They made me very comfortable and calm before and during my procedure. They work very well together. All my procedures are clearly explained and printed out with costs and co-pays. I am very happy to have found this group of women dedicated to oral health.

Excellent care and service. Dentist is awesome. Staff was great and everyone was really proficient at their responsibilities. Was also in and out for a follow up cbtc scan for future implant surgery. Highly recommend.

They are a great team. Always taking good care of me. My dental health has improved and I don’t mind going to the dentist at all.

Dr. Garrison and her entire team are extremely welcoming and helpful!! They do amazing work and take care of you immediately. Everyone is so friendly! My entire family sees Dr. Garrison and we will all continue to do so!

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 ?

This location is probably the best dentist I have been to in a long time! Everyone is friendly, professional, considerate, and well educated. I feel safe and welcome every time! Thank you for easing my anxiety at each visit. 

Definitely recommend this place for your dental needs. Staff is super friendly, thank you Dr. Upwards and Mayra for explaining all the questions my daughter had on Invisalign!! My daughter is excited to start her Invisalign journey!

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! 

This was my first time here, I had a great experience, everyone here is welcoming and help you with a smile on their face . The environment and staff make you feel comfortable and take the nerves away. They do a great job at explaining the procedure and making sure you’re okay. 12/10 recommend!

Our family loves forever dental! It has been our dental home for more than a decade, serving my whole family from cleanings, whitening, and braces. The whole experience, from phone calls to check ins and the work in the back, is easy, friendly, and quick. ALL the staff are pleasant and easy to work with.
I appreciate the knowledgeable professionals that help keep our teeth healthy. Thank you so much!
