Northbrook Dentist Takes Part In Dental Implant Popularity Explosion

Dr. Steven Kacel, Northbrook dentist, has recently participated in the surge in the popularity of dental implants. Dr. Kacel provides these implants through his Northbrook, Illinois dental office, as well as various other dental services.

Recent studies have shown that in spite of their relatively higher costs, dental implants have become the preferred method those who need tooth replacement of some sort, as opposed to traditional dentures.

"Dentures are great, but they just aren't permanent," explained Dr. Kacel. "People today want the best, and implants are just a better choice for most patients."

The dentist Northbrook residents can go to, however, also explained that in order for patients to be fitted for implants, they would have to undergo a long process. Implant surgery is not cheap, but it has been made more affordable by insurance companies who have also gotten in on the recent spike in their popularity.

"Our company does assist with the payment for implants, just as we do for traditional dentures," states one insurance company spokesperson. "This can significantly reduce the cost of implant surgery, even for those who want to replace all of their teeth."

Traditionally, full dentures or bridges would be used to replace missing teeth. As implants became more and more popular, however, they have effectively taken over in the dental world as permanent teeth replacements. Dr. Kacel's office has seen the spike in implant popularity. He states, "More and more of our tooth replacement patients are opting for implants, because they look much more like natural teeth."

He is a graduate of Northwestern University Dental School, and has been providing dental services in the Northbrook area for more than 30 years.
