Dental implants are truly a breakthrough in modern dentistry, offering transformative solutions for tooth replacement! Gone are the days of filing down healthy teeth for traditional bridges or relying on partial dentures that trap food and cause discomfort. With dental implants, even loose, ill-fitting full dentures can be securely anchored, providing stability to eat or talk comfortably and eliminating social embarrassment. In many cases, implants can completely replace dentures, restoring confidence and functionality like never before!
To get started, contact our Glen Ellyn dental practice at (630) 858-8800. We proudly serve Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, Lombard, Glendale Heights, Carol Stream, and the surrounding DuPage County areas.
My recommendations to learn if dental implants are the right choice for you: (from someone with over 30 years of dental implant experience):
Learn the basics of dental implants and of the dangers of missing teeth (more than you think!!) with the page on Health Dangers of Dentures and Missing Teeth.
To learn how dental implant can replace missing teeth, check the sections on What Are Dental Implants, and Replacing Single (or a few) Teeth with Dental Implants.
Examine the choices for replacing multiple missing teeth and eliminating destructive partial dentures with our page on Replacing Partial Dentures–Dental Implant Bridges.
Read about the four alternatives to dentures or replacing a “terminal dentition” with
1) Dental Implant Retained Dentures
Read our pages on the costs of dental implants, dental implant mistakes and problems, and if the supporting bone is sufficient for dental implant (bone grafting)!

Dental implants from our Glen Ellyn dentist are not only safer for the adjacent teeth (no partial clasps or unnecessary tooth reduction for tooth bridges), they are also usually more esthetically pleasing. When dental implant surgery is properly done the gums that “support the smile” can be maintained. Implants also prevent the bone loss that occurs under tooth-supported bridges, trapping food and odors and causing more dental problems down the road.
The materials we use for dental implant crowns and bridges are designed with aesthetics in mind, offering a more natural, metal-free appearance compared to many traditional tooth replacement options.
Cosmetic dental implants and tooth replacements are often seamlessly combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as porcelain crowns and veneers. For example, in the case shown below, the back teeth were replaced with implant-supported bridges, while the front teeth were beautifully enhanced with porcelain veneers, resulting in a stunning, cohesive smile transformation.
Does the thought of having implant placed by a dental implant surgeon worry you? Dr. Gibbs in Glen Ellyn not only has 30+ years of experience in implant surgery but also uses the most advanced technology to aid in placing the dental implant safely and comfortably.
Dr. Gibbs uses advanced cone beam radiography to visualize the jaw in 3 dimensions to accurately measure the size, shape, and density of the bone. Not only can the jawbones be better assessed, but the 3D cone beam radiographs can be used to fabricate precise surgical guides for implant placement. Even more advanced—we can design the final crown or bridge using Cerec 3D technology and then fabricate the surgical guide that would best work for the final restoration.
Guided implant surgery provides a more comfortable implant procedure and more accurate final restorations. Surgical errors are virtually eliminated, and the patient heals faster with a more cosmetically pleasing final result!

Dr. Gibbs has 30 + years of dental implant experience. He has earned an honorary Fellowship with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI), has been trained at the California Implant Institute and the Misch International Implant Institute, and is the author of many articles on dental implants.

The complete dental implant process at our Glen Ellyn office typically takes 3-6 months from start to finish. This includes initial consultation, implant placement surgery, healing time, and final restoration. For Glen Ellyn residents with good bone density, we sometimes offer expedited treatment timelines compared to practices in surrounding communities like Wheaton or Lombard.
For Glen Ellyn residents, dental implants offer significant advantages over other tooth replacement options available locally. Unlike bridges (which require altering adjacent teeth) or dentures (which can slip), implants function just like natural teeth. Many of our patients from Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, and throughout DuPage County report that implants feel more comfortable and natural than alternatives they’ve tried at other local dental practices.
At Smile Glen Ellyn, we prioritize patient comfort during implant procedures. Most of our Glen Ellyn patients report minimal discomfort during and after implant surgery, describing it as less painful than tooth extraction. Our practice offers both oral and IV sedation options specifically designed for nervous patients from Glen Ellyn and surrounding DuPage County communities.
