Advanced Tools and Techniques Help Dr. Akhras Restore His Patients' Smiles

Dr. Akhras uses sophisticated technology to give our patients the best that modern dentistry and oral surgery offer. His cutting-edge tools are designed to streamline the treatment planning process, promote the accuracy of our procedures, and ensure patient comfort every step of the way.

Dr. Akhras uses cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to create a detailed 3D view of your mouth. With this advanced imaging in hand, he uses computer-guided surgery to place your implants precisely.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dental Implants Create Stable Smiles and Restored Bites

While traditional dental implant surgery may require eight implants to hold your new teeth in place, Dr. Akhras can use All-on-4® and All-on-6 dental implants to support a denture with fewer implants. This involves our dentist placing implants at strategic angles in the strongest areas of your jawbone with the best chance of resisting atrophy.

Thanks to the All-on-4 technique, many of Dr. Akhras' implant patients can skip preparatory bone grafting or sinus lifts to restore jaw density. Find out if you qualify today.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Yamen and his team! The service was top-notch, and I’m incredibly happy with how smoothly everything went from the consultation to the procedure. The staff and doctors were amazing, answering every question and concern I had before the procedure. They also kept in touch after the surgery, which I really appreciated. The recovery process was also very smooth. I would 100% recommend them!

Dr. Akhras and his team were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain the procedure and answer all my questions, which put me at ease. The whole procedure was painless and went smoothly…If you are looking for an experienced dental surgeon who knows what he is doing, I can’t recommend Dr. Akhras enough. This was a very complicated procedure and requires a specialist who is patient, experienced, and highly skilled in his field.

Take a Look at How Dental Implants Work

Dental implant treatment uses three components:

  1. A titanium implant integrates with your jawbone tissue to replace missing tooth roots
  2. An abutment piece sits atop the implant
  3. An implant-supported restoration connects to the abutment.

It typically takes three visits to our Orland Park office to complete the process.

Improve Your Eligibility for Implants With Safe Supplementary Procedures

Not everyone will be a good candidate for dental implants due to factors like poor bone density or overall oral health. However, with the proper treatment, dental implants may become an option. We're here to help you achieve a new smile using in-office procedures like:

Periodontal Treatment

Many patients who need implants are living with periodontal disease or gum disease. Symptoms range from loose teeth to receding gums, and they can even include tooth loss. We'll make sure your gums are healthy before your dental implant treatment so that your results truly last.

Explore Periodontal Treatment

Tooth Extractions

Do you have a deeply decayed or damaged tooth? We can use incredibly accurate 3D cone beam scan technology to see if it needs to be extracted. In some cases, our dentist may even be able to place your dental implant on the same day your tooth is removed. 

Explore Tooth Extractions

Bone Grafting

In order to be a dental implant candidate, you need to have healthy gums and sufficient bone material. Otherwise, your dental implants will not be able to fuse into place. Luckily, our team offers bone grafting to strengthen your bone tissue and create a strong foundation for your new implants.

Explore Bone Grafting

Sinus Lifts

If you've lost a tooth or experienced periodontal disease in your upper jaw, your bone may have deteriorated. In other cases, your natural anatomy might not support an implant. With a sinus lift, we can graft bone into the area. This allows our Orland Park patients to have enough healthy, strong bone to support their new dental implants.

Reach Out For a Virtual Consultation

With us, you can start the journey toward a healthier smile on your own timeline. Patients can explore their implant options through virtual consultations on FaceTime, Skype, or Zoom. We also have a 24/7 online appointment system, so you can conveniently take charge of your care. Fill out our simple online form or call our office for more information.

A Patient Shares His Experience We Fix Problems and Enhance Patients' Health

"I went to Dr. Yamen after another dentist botched my implant procedure. I loved this practice from the beginning because Dr. Yamen was friendly, explained every step of my implant procedure, and answered all of my questions thoroughly and with patience...

You cannot go wrong by choosing this dental practice and Dr. Yamen. They don't treat me like a patient here, I'm treated like family."

The Dental Implant Timeline

For most patients, it takes between three to nine months to complete the treatment process. 
For most patients, it takes between three to nine months to complete the treatment process. 

Initial Consultation

First, you'll meet with Dr. Akhras at our office in Orland Park, IL. He will assess your dental health, degree of tooth loss, jaw density, and treatment goals to determine a plan that works best for you. 

Implant Placement

Dr. Akhras will use a surgical guide to place your implants at the precise angle and depth needed to provide the proper support. The process can typically be completed using only local anesthesia, but you can choose to receive sedation as well.

First Healing Period

It will take several months of healing for your dental implants to fuse with your jaw.

Abutment Placement

Once you've healed, Dr. Akhras will attach abutments to your implants in a second minor surgery.

Second Healing Period

It takes much less time to heal after abutment placement, usually just a couple of weeks.

Restoration Placement

Return to our office one last time to receive your custom implant-supported crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dr. Akhras will fix your restorations to your abutments and make adjustments as necessary to ensure they are comfortable and stable. You'll then be able to eat and speak just like you would with natural teeth.

Worried About Pain
During the Implant Process?
Sedation Dentistry Can Ensure Your Comfort

Many patients feel nervous about visiting the dentist, even just for a routine cleaning. If the thought of dental implant surgery is making you anxious, talk to Dr. Akhras about your options for sedation dentistry. Sedation can help you remain completely comfortable throughout the procedure. 

We offer oral conscious sedation and IV sedation at our practice. Dr. Akhras has special training in IV sedation and is licensed to administer it in both Illinois and Wisconsin. Each of these options can induce a deep state of relaxation and ensure you feel comfortable during treatment. 

Get the Implant Process Started Contact Premier Dental & Implant Center

Thanks to dental implants, we can offer a stable and lasting tooth replacement option. If you've experienced bone loss or compromised soft tissue, we have solutions that can make implants possible. Our team can place grafts to build up the jaw and treat gum disease and other periodontal health problems.

Dental Implant Aftercare Tips

Caring for your dental implants and implant-supported restorations is relatively straightforward. Just be mindful of the following aftercare advice.

Practice Good Oral Hygiene

Be sure to brush your implant restorations and any remaining teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush at least twice a day. You will also want to floss at least once a day. You can use superfloss or a water flosser to help remove food particles.

Visit Us for Check-Ups

Schedule regular dental cleanings and exams every six months. This will allow your dentist to monitor the condition of your dental implants and your implant-supported prostheses.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

How long will my dental implants last?

With proper oral hygiene and professional care, your dental implants will last a lifetime. Your implant restorations, however, have a lifespan of about 10 years. This is normal and due to regular wear and tear. Eventually, you will need your crown, bridgework, or denture replaced.

What is peri-implantitis and can it be prevented?

Also referred to as peri-implant disease, peri-implantitis is a type of inflammation that develops around a dental implant. It affects the surrounding jawbone and gum tissue. Peri-implantitis can be prevented with good oral hygiene. If you notice persistent bad breath, swollen gums, looseness around an implant, bleeding in the mouth, or pain while chewing, be sure to contact our Orland Park practice right away.

What are the chances my implant will fail?

The chances of implant failure are thankfully low thanks to the high success rate for treatment. According to a critical review from the Journal of Functional Biomaterials, the survival rate of an implant after 13.4 years is 94.6%. To ensure lasting success, feel free to contact us if you have any concerns.
