A permanent fix for a missing tooth, planned and placed without a trip across town.
A dental implant replaces both the root and the visible tooth, giving you a stable, long-term option for one missing tooth or several. Unlike a bridge or denture, an implant integrates with your jawbone rather than relying on neighboring teeth.
Cityview Dental Arts, our Bucktown office at 2232 W. Armitage Ave, handles implant placement and restoration in-house as a top implant provider, so most patients do not need a referral to an outside specialist. We are open Monday through Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Choosing where to get an implant placed matters, since it is a procedure most general dentists refer out. Dr. Jerome Bock founded Cityview Dental Arts and continues to see patients here, alongside Dr. Melissa Yousefi, and as a top implant provider, both doctors handle placement and restoration in-house.
We are in-network with most major PPOs, including Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Guardian, and United Healthcare, and every visit includes the same comfort menu, heated blankets, and warm neck pillows, that our patients have come to expect.
Dr. Bock founded Cityview Dental Arts and continues to treat patients from the Bucktown office today. His long history in the neighborhood means many patients have trusted him with their care for years, now backed by the resources of Dental Group of Chicago.
Dr. Yousefi joined the Cityview Dental Arts team in 2026, bringing additional capacity to the Bucktown office so patients can get the care they need without a long wait for an appointment.
Placement starts with a full evaluation of your bone health and a discussion of your timeline and goals. Once we place the implant, it needs time to integrate with your jawbone before we attach the final restoration, so the full process typically spans a few months.
We schedule check-ins along the way so you always know where things stand.
Most adults with healthy gums and enough jawbone to support an implant are good candidates, whether you are missing one tooth or several. We evaluate your bone health and overall oral health during a consultation before recommending implants over other tooth replacement options.
Placement is a surgical procedure, so we walk you through the timeline, from initial placement to the final restoration, so you know what to expect at each stage.
Every implant consultation starts with digital scans and a look at your jawbone health, since that determines whether you are a good candidate right away or need a preliminary step first. We will walk through the full timeline, from placement to the final restoration, along with the cost, before you commit to anything.
Most patients are surprised by how manageable the day-to-day recovery is.
A single implant replaces one missing tooth, using a small titanium post placed in the jawbone as an anchor for the abutment and the final crown that shows above the gumline. This approach works well when the surrounding teeth are healthy and only one spot needs to be filled.
Patients missing several teeth in a row, or an entire arch, do not automatically need a new implant for every opening. In many cases, a set of implants can support a fixed bridge or full-arch restoration that replaces multiple teeth at once, so the number of implants placed depends on your bone health and how many teeth need replacing, not a one-size-fits-all count.
According to the American Dental Association, an implant integrates directly with the jawbone rather than resting on top of it, which is part of why implants have become one of the more effective ways dentistry offers to replace a missing tooth. Dr. Bock and Dr. Yousefi review your scans and bone health during a consultation to map out whether a single implant, a multi-tooth bridge, or a full-arch option fits your situation, and they walk through the timeline for each option before you decide.
The cost of a dental implant covers three separate parts, the implant post itself, the abutment that connects it to the visible tooth, and the crown that completes the restoration. Replacing several teeth or a full arch changes the total differently than simply adding up single-tooth prices, since the number of implants needed does not always match the number of teeth being replaced.
A few factors can add to the total before the final restoration goes in, including whether a tooth extraction, a bone graft, or a short healing phase is needed first so the implant has enough stable bone to integrate into. We review any of these needs at your consultation, so there are no surprises once treatment begins.
Dental insurance treats implants differently from plan to plan, and some PPOs cover part of the exam, scans, or extraction even when the implant itself is not a covered benefit. We are in-network with Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Guardian, and United Healthcare, and our staff will check your specific plan before you commit to treatment. Cherry financing is available to help spread out the portion insurance does not cover.
Implants are one of the larger investments in dentistry, and cost should never be the reason a Bucktown resident lives with a missing tooth longer than necessary.
