Ask around Addison what an implant costs and mostly you get “it depends”. Here you get a 3D cone-beam scan, a plan built from what the scan shows, and the full price in writing before anything is booked. Dr. Henry Kim, DMD places the implant and makes the final tooth in the same office, 10 to 15 minutes from Addison.
A gap does not stay a gap. The bone that held the root has nothing to do once the root is gone, so it gives up volume inside the first year and the teeth either side lean into the space. An implant is the only replacement that puts a root back into the jaw, so it holds the bone instead of resting on top of it.
It earns its money when a tooth is gone and you would rather not have two healthy neighbors filed down to carry a bridge, when an old bridge or partial has given out, or when a lower denture will not sit still. It is the wrong call when the tooth can still be saved: if a root canal and a crown will keep it, keeping it wins, and you will hear that here. Clinical detail sits on our dental implants page.
Six things worth establishing before anyone touches the tooth. The answers differ more than the marketing does.
We do not do teeth in a day. Where the tooth still has to come out, the socket gets its two to four months to close over before a post goes anywhere near it. A finished tooth promised on the day of the extraction is a temporary with a short life and a second bill behind it.
The other two limits are the same kind of honest. The cone-beam scan decides whether the jaw has the bone to hold a post, and where it does not, general in-house bone grafting is priced and done first. And where a case sits outside what this office takes on, you hear that at the consult, not halfway through it.
Almost nothing serving Addison puts a figure on a page, so here is ours. Post, abutment and final crown, the complete restored tooth, starts at $2,800. The new-patient exam with X-rays that comes first is $99. Financing is available.
| What | Price |
|---|---|
| New-patient exam and X-rays | $99 |
| Complete single implant: post, abutment and final crown | from $2,800 |
| Extraction or general in-house bone grafting, if needed | quoted separately after the 3D scan |
| Full-arch and multiple-tooth cases | quoted per arch after the 3D scan |
The only thing that moves that number is what the jaw needs before the post can go in, and you see all of it printed at the consult, before a single appointment is booked. Most PPO insurance accepted. Full-arch work carries area ranges rather than a flat price, labelled as area market data and not our quote, over on the full mouth restoration page.
A lower denture that shifts at every meal is a smaller problem than a missing tooth, and it often takes a smaller solution. Dr. Kim places mini dental implants, narrow posts that give a lower denture something to hold onto. They exist to steady a denture. They do not stand in for a full-size implant carrying a crown, and you will not be offered them here as a cut-price version of one. The dentures page covers the rest.
The run in is Lake Street (US-20) west, then Bloomingdale Road, which is the way Addison patients have been reaching this office all along. 10 to 15 minutes from most Addison neighborhoods, none of it on a tollway.
The office is 183 S. Bloomingdale Rd., Suite #102, Bloomingdale, IL 60108, just off Lake Street, parking at the door. Worth knowing on an implant case specifically: this is not one appointment, it is a handful of them across several months and then the checkups that keep the implant healthy. Our Addison dentist page covers everyday care.
The office works in Vietnamese, Korean and Spanish, and it works in them for the parts that matter: what the scan found, what the choices are, what each one costs. Nobody should be agreeing to surgery on the strength of a family member interpreting down a phone line.
Dr. Henry Kim, DMD, 183 S. Bloomingdale Rd., Suite #102, Bloomingdale, IL 60108. The same hands plan the case, place the post and fit the crown, which is the short version of why nothing gets lost between appointments. Open Monday 9-6, Wednesday 9-6, Thursday 10-6 and alternating weekends; closed Tuesdays. His bio page and the new patients page have more.

Post, abutment and crown together start at about $2,800, at an office 10 to 15 minutes up Lake Street from Addison. The exam and X-rays that come first are $99. If the jaw needs an extraction or grafting, that is priced on its own line once the 3D scan has been read, and the total is on paper before a date goes in the book.
Because a price quoted off a flat X-ray is a guess. A cone-beam scan shows how much bone is there and where the nerve runs, and those two facts decide whether this is a straightforward single implant or one that needs grafting first. Quoting ahead of that is how a figure ends up growing in the middle of treatment.
Every stage that will be charged: the implant, the abutment, the crown, and anything the jaw needs beforehand, each on its own line with the timeline beside it. You take it away with you. Nothing gets scheduled off a number said out loud.
It should not, and that is the reason the scan comes first: the unknowns get resolved before the figure is written. If something genuinely unforeseeable did turn up, you would be told and asked before any extra work happened, never billed for it afterwards.
They cannot. This office does not do teeth in a day. A socket that has just had a tooth out needs two to four months to close, and the bone needs another three to six to grip the post before a permanent crown goes on top. None of that leaves you with a visible gap, but the timeline is the timeline.
No. Planning, placement and the crown are all done here by Dr. Kim. The common alternative splits one tooth between a surgical office and a general dentist months apart, which means two schedules, two bills and two sets of records.
The post is meant to stay for good and plenty do last decades. The crown on top wears like any crown and may want replacing at some stage. The thing that genuinely cuts an implant short is gum disease around it, which is why we are firm about the cleanings and exams that follow it.
Most PPO plans, yes, though implant benefits differ wildly from one plan to the next. We check yours and tell you what it is likely to contribute before you commit to anything; financing covers the rest. Call (224) 520-8665 or use the contact form.
Start with the $99 exam and the 3D scan. By the end of it you know whether that tooth needs an implant at all, what the finished result costs on paper, and how many months it runs. (224) 520-8665 reaches the office directly.
