Dental Examination
Dental x-rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected.
X-rays
Digital radiography (digital x-ray) is the latest technology used to take dental x-rays. This technique uses an electronic sensor (instead of x-ray film) that captures and stores the digital image on a computer. This image can be instantly viewed and enlarged helping the dentist and dental hygienist detect problems easier. Digital x-rays reduce radiation 80-90% compared to the already low exposure of traditional dental x-rays.

Fillings
Crowns
Computer-guided surgery uses advanced technology to allow our doctors to precisely position dental implants in the ideal location to accept a crown or bridge. This high-tech method offers a number of benefits for any patient who is planning to replace missing teeth with dental implants.
Bridges

Root Canal Treatment
An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure that is used to treat a tooth in which traditional root canal treatment has not been successful.
Apicoectomy
During an apicoectomy procedure, an incision is made and the gum is opened near the tooth. Any diseased, inflamed or infected tissue is removed and the tip of the root is resected. Special instruments are then used to enter the nerve canals and clean any infected tooth structure. Finally, a filling is placed to seal the root and stitches are placed in the gum to help the tissue heal properly. While the gum area heals within a few days, it will take several months for the bone to heal completely. During this time, the healing process will be checked with x-rays and by direct examination.

Dentures
Patients suffering with uncomfortable and painful dentures, and those patients living with unsightly partial bridges – causing even more damage to their remaining teeth and gum line – now have a clinically proven, FDA accepted treatment option for replacing missing or non-functional teeth.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered by many to be the standard of care in tooth replacement. They are the tooth replacement method that most closely resembles natural teeth.

Maxillofacial Surgery
Dr. Karras is a life-long Chicagoan. He attended Lane Technical High School and received his undergraduate education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He received his Bachelor of Science in Dentistry with Honors and his Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry, where he graduated in the top ten in his class and was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society. Following his graduation from dental school, Dr. Karras entered a four year, hospital based training program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He served his residency at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and at Boston University’s Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry. His residency included extensive training in all aspects of hospital and office based oral and maxillofacial surgery and anesthesia. During his fourth year of specialty training, he was appointed chief resident.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth Extraction – Studies have shown that patients who have experienced a tooth extraction subsequently lose 40-60% of the bone surrounding the extraction site during the following three years. Loss of bone results in what is called a “bone defect”.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a highly successful procedure in most cases. It is also a preferable alternative to having missing teeth, diseased teeth, or tooth deformities. Bone grafting can increase the height or width of the jawbone and fill in voids and defects in the bone.

Braces
Howard has worn braces twice in his life and has had numerous root canals that have cause many problems. He has always wanted a permanent solution which is why he chose the ALL On 4 procedure. Howard was referred to us by a friend and cannot be happier with the results. All On 4 dental implants in Chicago have many benefits over other procedures. See Howard’s million dollar smile!
