Tooth loss is more common than most people realize, and the impact goes well beyond appearance. When a tooth is missing, the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate, neighboring teeth can shift, and everyday tasks like chewing and speaking can become uncomfortable. For Chicago patients who want a replacement that works the way a natural tooth does, dental implants are the most complete and long-lasting option available.
At Dental Group of Chicago, we provide dental implants in the South Loop as part of our in-house approach to restorative care. As a general dentistry practice that handles a broad scope of procedures with very little referral out, our team manages your implant case from evaluation through final restoration under one roof.

Dental implants address the root cause of tooth loss, not just the gap you can see.
The post is placed in the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration.
The stable post holds a custom crown that looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, and they stimulate the jawbone to slow the bone loss that follows tooth loss.
Not every case of tooth loss looks the same. Our team will walk you through which option fits your situation and what to expect at each stage.
A single-tooth dental implant is a standalone restoration that does not affect the teeth around it.
Replaces: one missing tooth
Restoration: abutment and custom crown
Nearby teeth: left untouched
All-on-4 dental implants support a full arch of teeth on four strategically placed implants, often in fewer appointments than traditional full-arch work.
Replaces: most or all teeth in an arch
Restoration: fixed full-arch bridge
Support: four implants
When a damaged tooth has to come out or bone has thinned, a tooth extraction or bone graft prepares the site before the implant is placed.
Purpose: a healthy, solid site for the post
Where: handled in our office
Cost: priced separately from the implant
During your consultation we check the health of your gums, the density and volume of your jawbone, your medical history and your goals for the final result.
Active gum disease can affect candidacy, so we treat it first to give the implant a healthy foundation.
When bone volume has diminished, a bone graft may be recommended before the implant is placed.
Certain systemic conditions can affect healing, which is why we review your full medical history before planning treatment.
Usually not. We handle most of these procedures in-house, so your path to treatment stays coordinated in one place.
The implant needs time to bond with the jawbone before the final crown is placed. Our team stays your main point of contact the whole way through.
We assess your bone structure and gum health and plan precise implant placement.
A tooth extraction or bone grafting is completed first when the site requires it.
The area is thoroughly numbed and the titanium post is placed in the jawbone.
The post fuses with the bone over several months to create a stable foundation.
Once integration is confirmed, an abutment and your custom dental crown complete the restoration.
Some patients also compare implants with a dental bridge or dentures. Here is how they differ.

Digital imaging lets us check bone level and bone health, with about 50 percent less exposure than traditional radiographs. It is one of several dental technologies in our office.
High power microscopes give our restorations a precise fit and finish you cannot get with the naked eye.
Clear, enlarged images of your teeth and gums help you see and understand your diagnosis.
Dr. Reznikov completed his dental education at the University of Illinois College of Dentistry. He has since accumulated hundreds of hours of advanced continuing education, which lets the practice handle most of the implant process in-house with very little referral out.
Raised in the Chicago suburbs, Dr. Reznikov built his practice philosophy around what he calls “unreasonable hospitality”: exceptional care in a genuinely welcoming office. Our comfort menu includes heated blankets, a coffee bar, Netflix, eucalyptus wipes and neck pillows, because how your visit feels matters as much as the clinical result.

Cost is one of the most common questions patients bring to their consultation. Here is what goes into the price and the ways you can pay.

With proper care, dental implants can last 20 to 30 years or even a lifetime. The titanium post in your jawbone is designed to be permanent, while the crown on top may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear. Regular checkups, good oral hygiene and avoiding smoking all extend the life of your implant, and we give you aftercare instructions to help your restoration last.
No. The complete process usually takes several months, because the implant post needs time to fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration. Once integration is confirmed, the abutment and final crown are placed. We outline a timeline for your specific case at your first consultation.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. The area is thoroughly numbed before any work begins, and soreness afterward is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication and fades within a few days. Our team walks you through what to expect at each stage so there are no surprises.
Yes, once the final crown is in place you can chew and eat much like you would with a natural tooth. While the implant heals, you will follow a softer diet around the area, and we explain exactly what to avoid at each stage.
Often, yes. The jawbone can thin after a tooth is lost, so we check bone volume with digital imaging first. If there is not enough bone, a bone graft can rebuild the site before the implant is placed.
Dental implants are anchored in your jawbone and work like natural tooth roots. They help prevent bone loss and do not need adhesives or removal for cleaning. Dentures are removable appliances that sit on top of your gums. Dentures cost less at first, but implants offer more stability, comfort and longevity, and they help preserve your facial structure.
Our complete dental implant, including the post, abutment and crown, is $2,595 for patients without coverage. This does not include extractions or bone grafting if those are needed first. Coverage varies by plan, and many plans pay for part of an implant. We are in-network with most PPO plans, including Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Guardian and United Healthcare, and our team can review your benefits and financing options at your consultation.
Dental implants have a well-documented record of long-term success. A large review drawing on data from more than 158,000 implants found an overall clinical success rate of about 97.79 percent. Good oral hygiene, regular professional cleanings and avoiding smoking are the biggest factors in keeping that result over time.
Implant failure is uncommon, occurring in roughly 2 to 5 percent of cases. It is most often linked to poor bone integration, infection or certain health conditions identified during screening. Early failures usually happen in the first few months of healing. When an implant fails, it can usually be removed and, after the site heals, replaced.
Caring for implants is very similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss around the crown and keep up with professional cleanings every six months. Avoiding grinding, clenching and chewing ice helps protect the restoration over the long term.
