Our dental specialists in Back of the Yards provide dental implants to restore missing teeth with a natural-looking, long-lasting solution — helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again. Medicaid is accepted for covered services.
Replacing a missing tooth with a solution that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing is no longer out of reach for families in Back of the Yards. Dental implants have become one of the most trusted options in modern dentistry for a reason: they restore a complete smile while also supporting the health of the jaw and surrounding teeth for the long term. If you have been curious about whether implants are the right fit for you, a consultation is the best place to start.
Sonrisa Family Dental offers comprehensive implant dentistry for patients throughout Back of the Yards and the greater Chicago area. Founded by Jason Korkus, DDS, our practice is built on the belief that every patient deserves attentive, personalized care, and that quality tooth replacement should be accessible to the whole community. We work with most major PPO insurance plans, offer flexible financing options, and take the time to walk each patient through their choices before any decisions are made.
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that addresses both the visible and structural components of a missing tooth. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it integrates with the surrounding bone over time and serves as a stable, permanent foundation for a custom crown. According to research published through the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, the use of dental implants among adults has grown steadily as the option becomes more accessible and widely understood.
Because implants replace the root as well as the visible tooth, they preserve the jawbone in a way other options cannot replicate. For a closer look at how this works and why it matters for long-term oral health, our blog on dental implants and bone loss explains the connection in plain terms.
Patients who choose implants often describe the experience as the closest thing to having a natural tooth back. There are no adjustments to eating habits, no removal for cleaning, and no reliance on neighboring teeth for support. The restoration blends in with the surrounding smile, and routine brushing and flossing is all the upkeep required.
Some of the most commonly cited advantages of choosing implants include:
These qualities make implants a practical, long-lasting choice for patients ready to invest in a restoration they can rely on for years to come.
Getting dental implants is a phased process, and our team explains every step before treatment begins so patients feel prepared and comfortable throughout.
Every implant case starts with a thorough evaluation. We take X-rays and 3D imaging to assess the condition of your jawbone, review your dental and medical history, and discuss your goals. If additional preparation such as bone grafting is needed to create a strong foundation, we explain that clearly and outline the full plan before scheduling any procedures.
Once the plan is confirmed, the titanium post is placed into the jawbone in a straightforward surgical procedure. A healing period follows, during which the implant bonds with the surrounding bone through a natural process called osseointegration. We monitor your progress throughout and remain available for any questions during recovery.
After healing is complete, a custom crown is attached to the implant. It is designed to match the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth so the final result looks completely natural. At this stage, the implant is fully functional and ready for everyday life.

All-on-X is part of our broader restorative dentistry offerings, and our team helps each patient determine which approach aligns best with their oral health goals and current situation.
