First Visit

If you live in Palatine and are considering dental implants or specialized oral surgery, Oral Facial and Implant Specialists in Deer Park are here to help you achieve lasting health and renewed confidence. Our board-certified oral surgeons combine advanced training with a commitment to personalized, compassionate care.

Focused Expertise in Dental Implants and Bone Grafting

We offer a range of procedures to rebuild your smile and restore comfort:

Dental Implants

From single-tooth replacements to full-arch reconstructions, we use 3D imaging and guided placement techniques to ensure stable, natural-looking results.

Implant-Supported Dentures

If you are missing multiple teeth, implant-supported dentures provide a secure alternative to traditional removable dentures. They help preserve bone structure and improve chewing function.

Bone Grafting Procedures

Healthy bone is essential for long-term implant success. Our surgeons perform:

  • Socket Preservation: Placing grafting material after extraction to maintain bone height.
  • Ridge Augmentation: Restoring lost bone volume along the jaw.
  • Sinus Lift: Adding bone beneath the sinus in the upper jaw to prepare for implants.

Whether you need preparation for future implants or want to improve support for dentures, we will create a plan tailored to your needs.
