Dental Implants in Bloomington, IL: The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the most natural, durable, and long-lasting solution available today. Unlike dentures or bridges that sit on top of the gums, an implant replaces the entire tooth from root to crown. At Nord Dental, Dr. Annie Nord considers implants to be the premier choice for restoring your smile’s function and aesthetics. We are proud to help patients from Eagle Crest, Tipton Trails, and across Bloomington-Normal reclaim their ability to eat, laugh, and smile with total confidence.
Whether you need to replace a single tooth or secure a loose denture, implants provide a permanent foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Call (309) 663-9421 to schedule your implant consultation.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are revolutionizing the way we treat tooth loss. According to the American Dental Association, implants are the only restoration that mimics the structure of natural teeth.
- Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth extraction.
- Stability: They fuse with your jawbone, providing an incredibly stable base that never slips or clicks.
- Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
- Protection: Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering your healthy adjacent teeth.
The Implant Process at Nord Dental
We guide you through every step of your implant journey to ensure a seamless experience:
- Consultation & Planning: Dr. Nord evaluates your oral health using 3D digital imaging to determine if you are a good candidate.
- Placement: We work with trusted local specialists who expertly place the titanium implant post into the jawbone.
- Healing (Osseointegration): Over a few months, the implant fuses with your bone to create a solid foundation.
- Restoration: You return to Nord Dental, where Dr. Nord designs and places your custom crown, bridge, or denture onto the implant. The result is a beautiful, functional tooth that looks and feels just like your own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good general health and sufficient jawbone density are excellent candidates. If you have bone loss, we can discuss options like bone grafting. Implants are a fantastic solution for anyone tired of dealing with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients report that the procedure is much easier than they expected. The placement is performed under local anesthesia, and any post-operative discomfort is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter medication.
How do I clean my dental implants?
One of the best things about implants is that you care for them just like real teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit us for your regular cleanings and exams. Good oral hygiene ensures the gums around the implant stay healthy.
