crowned incorrectly...she

dr. fabricius is one of only 23 board-certified specialists in crowns, implants, and dentures in illinois
What’s a prosthodontist? It’s a question that Dr. Anne Fabricius, owner of Oak Park
Prosthodontics, often gets. With her characteristic smile, she will enthusiasti-cally explain that a prosthodontist is a dentist with three additional years of training in restorative dentistry. They are experts in cosmetics, crowns, implants, bridges, dentures, and the management of complex dental problems. Currently there are only four women in Illinois that are board-certified in prosthodontics. Dr. Anne Fabricius is one of them, and the only one in private practice.
A graduate of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Fabricius established Oak Park Prosthodontics in 2013. She offers general dentistry services, such as cleanings; as well as specialty services in the repair and replacement of teeth. In addition to her practice, she also teaches the complete denture course at University of Illinios at Chicago.
Why Prosthodontics? “I love problem solving,” Fabricius says, “I enjoy providing patients with unique solutions to solve a variety of dental problems.” Fabricius also enjoys the challenge and artistry of restoring teeth back to natural beauty. In
this sense, prosthodontics is a field that combines medicine, science, and artistry.
Fabricius credits major advances in technology, including new dental materials and computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) with greatly improving patient care. While incorporat-ing these advances in to her practice, she is particularly enthused about Computer Guided Dental Implant Surgery.
A dental implant is a titanium post that replaces the root of a tooth that has been lost. A tooth, multiple teeth, or dentures can be attached to a dental implant. A three-dimensional model of a patient is generated by computer and used to plan the locations of dental implants within the jawbone. A template is custom made for the patient and used during surgery to guide the dental implants into the exact locations that were planned on the digital model.
Implant surgery using a custom tem-plate can often be completed in less than an hour, and is most often performed with just local anesthetic. Most patients experience little or no discomfort after implant surgery.
There are significant benefits of computer guided surgery:
• Reduced surgical risk. Because the implants have been planned digitally, the risk of damage to nerves and other teeth is greatly reduced.
• Improved long-term outcomes. When implants are placed in the ideal loca-tion, the teeth that are attached to the implants will last longer.
• Fewer surgical procedures. Because dental implants can be guided into tight spaces, the need for bone grafting and other surgical procedures is often eliminated.
• Reduced surgical time. Because the implants have been planned digitally, the surgical time is greatly reduced. Complex surgeries can be performed in under an hour.
• Less pain. Because the surgery is performed faster, there is less post-operative discomfort and pain.
If you are considering getting implants or any type of cosmetic dentistry, or you are just looking for a new dentist for routine care, call Dr. Anne Fabricius. Her office, Oak Park Prosthodontics, is located at 185 N. Marion Street in Downtown Oak Park. Visit the website at OakParkImplants.com or call 708-386-0177.

Dr. Panton, what is a cataract and how is it treated?A cataract is the clouding of the lens inside the eye. Neither drops nor pills can prevent or cure a cataract. The only treatment for a cataract is its surgical removal and its replacement with a clear artificial lens or intraocular lens implant (IOL).
What is the difference between a monofocal implant and a bifocal implant?In the past, the IOL corrected distance vision only; this is called a monofocal implant. Patients who undergo cataract surgery with a monofocal implant still need reading glasses. Recent advances incorporate a bifocal into the IOL. The bifocal implant allows patients to read without glasses, drive without glasses, and do virtually all of their activities without glasses.
What will I experience during cataract surgery with a bifocal implant? Cataract surgery is performed on an outpatient basis using eye drops to numb your eye; no shots are necessary. The operation takes approximately 20 minutes after which you will rest for a short time before going home. Post-operatively, you will be asked to instill eye drops for a few weeks after surgery. You will have 90% of you vision back within one day and your eye will be completely healed within two weeks.
How do I find out if bifocal implants are right for me?While most cataract patients are candidates for this technology, it is best to seek consultation with an ophthalmologist with experience in bifocal implants. If you want to reduce your dependence on glasses after cataract surgery, call Dr. Panton at 708-452-7200 to schedule an appointment.

Dr. Peter J. Panton, a graduate of the Brown University School of Medicine, is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, a Fellow of the Ameri-can College of Surgeons, and former president of the Chicago Ophthalmo-logical Society.
No Glasses after Cataract Surgery
T he Panton Eye Center has provided state-of-the-art eye care for over fifty years.
Board-certified ophthalmologists and optometrists offer comprehensive optical, medical, and surgical care including five treatment lasers.
John H. Panton, M.D., founder, comments on the advances made during his career: “Cataract was once a blinding disease. Surgery required a lengthy hospitalization and patients wore thick spectacles post-operatively. That is a thing of the past. Today’s no-shot cataract surgery allows the restoration of normal vision for nearly everyone. What we now consider routine was unimaginable when I began!”
Peter J. Panton, M.D., senior
surgeon, describes the surgical elimination of glasses or refractive surgery: “The refractive components of the eye are the
cornea (in the front of the eye) and the lens (inside the eye). There are two major refractive procedures: (1) LASIK is the use of a laser to reshape the cornea; (2) Refractive Cataract Surgery is the combination of a bifocal implant with no-shot cataract surgery. For both our LASIK patients and our Refractive Cataract Surgery patients, life with-out glasses is the anticipated outcome.”
Robert W. Panton, M.D.,
fellowship-trained corneal surgeon, defines ALL LASER LASIK: “ALL LASER LASIK is the combination of two lasers to correct vision. The first makes a thin flap of cornea which is gently folded back. The second reshapes the cornea. The flap is repositioned without the need for stitches. Prior to surgery, the patient is able to see only the big-E; the morning after ALL LASER LASIK, the patient drives
himself for his follow-up exam.”Elizabeth Panton Karkazis,
O.D. explains how contact lenses complement refractive surgery in a comprehensive practice: “Teenagers are too young for LASIK and not every adult is a suitable candidate for LASIK. When surgery is not an option, contact lenses remain a valuable tool to satisfy a patient’s optical needs.”
