Dental implants are a revolutionary way to replace missing teeth, regain form and function, and avoid the bone loss and facial changes that come when teeth are lost. When you have more than one missing tooth, bone loss can give you a prematurely aged look, your ability to enjoy the foods you love can be diminished (as chewing may become compromised), and your nutrition may also suffer. Dental implants can intercept these risks.

How much do dental implants cost?

This depends on various factors specific to your case – type of implant, location, number of implants, etc. Many insurance plans cover implants, plus we accept CareCredit and LendingClub as payment options.

If you’re looking for dental implants from a dentist in Lincoln Park, we can help! As with all our services, we offer a variety of solutions to meet your needs. Whether you want to replace a single missing tooth with one implant, or all your teeth with All-on-4 dental implant-supported dentures, this procedure could be the solution you’re looking for. Call today for a no-obligation consultation to see if this fantastic tooth-replacement option is for you!

If you’re like most people, you’ll have some or all four of your third molars (or wisdom teeth) removed at some point in your life. Perhaps you’ve already had this done and now your son or daughter needs assessment. Are they experiencing discomfort or pain at the back of their mouth or in their jaws? Do they have swelling around the jaw? Is the pain affecting their sleep? Are they having trouble opening their mouth or eating? Do they have chronic bad breath or an unpleasant taste in their mouth? They could have an impacted wisdom tooth – and they’ll need to see a dentist in Lincoln Park for help.

Wisdom tooth extraction healing

After your appointment, we’ll give you take-home instructions to help your extraction site heal. You can count on needing a few days to recover after having a tooth pulled. For the first 24 hours you’ll want to take it easy, avoid drinking through a straw, rinsing, or spitting forcefully, and smoking. Take your painkillers as prescribed to help prevent pain and follow our aftercare instructions carefully. Enjoy a diet of soft foods such as soup, pudding, yogurt, and applesauce on the day of and after your wisdom tooth extraction. Continue your oral homecare of brushing and flossing to prevent infection – but avoid the extraction site.

Wisdom teeth extraction isn’t always the answer. In some cases, close monitoring and special cleaning techniques are enough to keep wisdom teeth in check… But the only way of knowing what action should be taken is by calling us for a thorough examination. We’ll help determine the best course of treatment, and no matter the best option, we can help!

When you’re looking for teeth whitening in Lincoln Park, you have many choices – and you may be tempted to just purchase off-the-shelf whitening products online, at the local pharmacy, or from a box store because they seem cheaper than a customized option available from us. In most cases though, off-the-shelf teeth whitening kits will not give you the results you’re looking for. Results could range from unnaturally super-white teeth or teeth that are still drab and discolored.

When you visit Dr. Jeffrey M. Falduto, our in-office professional whitening service is customized to your individual smile needs. With dentist-supervised teeth whitening, you’ll achieve natural results – quickly and safely.

When you’re in next, ask us about teeth whitening, and if you’re new to us, give us a call and we’ll set up your consultation.

If you grind or clench your teeth in your sleep, you could be causing significant damage to your smile. This condition, known as bruxism, can result in cracks or chips, tooth fractures, worn teeth, and damage to existing restorations, including fillings, dental implants, veneers, and crowns. Also, when you grind your teeth at night, it strains your temporomandibular joint (TMJ). And that can cause headaches, earaches, migraines, jaw pain, and a host of other issues.

A protective mouth guard for teeth grinding (nightguard), made by your dentist in Lincoln Park, can prevent these problems and stop you from grinding your teeth when you sleep. It works because it keeps your top and bottom teeth away from each other when grinding occurs. And that’s a lot of pressure your smile is being protected from – up to 1,000 pounds per square inch of force! Call our team today to learn more about nightguards and get one for yourself.

Invisalign clear aligners are an innovative and discreet way to straighten your teeth. Available from Dr. Jeffrey M. Falduto – your dentist in Lincoln Park – this orthodontic choice gives you a straighter, healthier smile without metal, train-track braces. As well as looking more attractive than tightly spaced, crooked, or gapped teeth, a straight smile is easier to clean and keep healthy.

With Invisalign and Invisalign Teen, clear, removable aligners gradually shift teeth into their correct position. These custom-made aligners fit snugly and comfortably onto your smile. They can be removed for cleaning your teeth, playing sports, and other activities. Millions of people love this orthodontic treatment because it’s so discreet.
