Proto Mini Dental Implant Centers

Proto Mini Dental Implant Centers, located at 4235 W 95th St, Oak Lawn, IL 60453, is a specialized dental clinic focusing on mini dental implants. This center is part of a broader network, Mini Dental Implant Centers of America (MDICA), which aims to provide accessible and advanced implant dentistry across various locations. The clinic, often referred to as ProtoDental, is known for its patient-centered approach, emphasizing high-quality care in a gentle and compassionate environment. They leverage modern technology, including digital radiography and computerized imaging, to ensure precise diagnosis and treatment planning. Proto Mini Dental Implant Centers primarily offers mini dental implants as a less invasive and often more affordable alternative to traditional dental implants. These smaller implants (typically 2mm to 3.5mm in diameter) are particularly beneficial for stabilizing loose dentures, replacing single or multiple missing teeth, and for patients with limited bone density who might otherwise require bone grafting. The procedure often allows for immediate loading of dentures or prostheses, meaning patients can leave the office with stable, functional teeth the same day. Beyond mini dental implants, ProtoDental provides a range of general and cosmetic dentistry services, including traditional dental implants, dentures, tooth extractions, dental bridges, full mouth reconstruction, periodontal care, emergency dentistry, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and dental crowns. Dr. Proto, who has specialized post-graduate training in implant surgery and is a clinical instructor at New York University College of Dentistry, leads the team. The clinic prides itself on offering both surgical and restorative implant services in-house, eliminating the need for external referrals. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the friendly and professional staff, the comfortable environment, and the positive results, particularly concerning the comfort and stability achieved with mini dental implants. The clinic accepts various payment methods, including cash, check, major credit cards, most dental insurance plans, and offers financing options like CareCredit.
