I was born and raised in Western part of Ukraine in Lviv. Lviv is a city that lays in a very close proximity to Polish, Hungarian, Slovenian boarders, and Carpathian Mountains; the population is a mix of Ukrainian, Polish, German, Armenian, and Jewish. It is a city of fascinating history by growing in that colorful, multilingual place I learned how to appreciate cultural diversity, history and good food.
The decision to become a dentist was made spontaneously, after my regular dental visit. I thought I would look good in a white lab-coat. But my understanding and love to dentistry grew through years of dental school in Ukraine, residency, practice, immigration, dental assisting, dental school again. Now I know that I would not only look good in white lab coat but I can do some damn good dentistry. Dentistry is a job, an art, a fun, a hard work, deep knowledge, an intuition, a technique, an improvisation, it is a lot of things for me. I believe in excellence clinical, professional, and personal and pursuing excellence by continuously improving my knowledge and skills.
My professional goal is to build a practice which would advocate best care possible for my patients. I want to create a comprehensive care practice where trust developed through a meaningful doctor-patient relationship. I want to build a practice where I would be a friend, a mentor, an educator, and a doctor to my patients.
Dental implants are the most durable and functional tooth replacement option available today. The implant is comprised of a titanium post that serves as the root of your replacement tooth, a porcelain crown, and an abutment that attaches the dental crown to the implant. With proper oral care, a dental implant can replace a natural tooth for a lifetime.
First, your dentist in St. Charles, IL will take x-rays of your mouth and determine the optimal placement of the implant along your jawline. Once the implant has been surgically placed, the abutment and dental crown will be attached during restoration procedures. Most patients report less pain during recovery than with wisdom teeth extractions, but any discomfort can be treated with over-the-counter pain medication. If you are anxious about any stage in the implant procedure, the team at Bon DDS Dental Studio is always ready and willing to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
When several neighboring teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge is the optimal treatment option for replacing them. An implant bridge consists of three major aspects, the dental implant, abutments, and the dental bridge. A traditional dental implant bridge consists of an artificial tooth connected to two crowns on both sides that are placed on two neighboring dental implants that hold the bridge in place. A dental implant bridge may be used to replace three or more missing teeth.
