Our Story
Jay Platt DDS Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center has been serving Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana for decades. What began as a commitment to providing exceptional oral surgery has grown into a trusted practice known for combining deep clinical expertise with a genuinely warm patient experience.
Based in Schererville, our team of dedicated professionals operates with a single focus: treating every patient the way we'd want to be treated ourselves. From the front desk — where "the gals were very nice" — to Dr. Platt's chair, every touchpoint is designed around your comfort and confidence.

The entire process typically takes 3–6 months, depending on your individual case. This includes the initial consultation, implant placement, healing period, and final crown fitting. Dr. Platt will map out your specific timeline during your first visit.
Yes, we work with most major dental insurance providers. We also accept CareCredit for flexible financing options. Our front desk team can verify your benefits before your appointment so there are no surprises.
Pain management is one of our top priorities. Dr. Platt uses local anesthesia and sedation options to ensure you're comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients report that the discomfort is far less than they expected, and we provide clear aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.
We typically recommend evaluation in the mid-to-late teens, around ages 16–19. At this stage, the roots haven't fully formed, which makes the procedure simpler and recovery faster. However, Dr. Platt removes wisdom teeth for patients of all ages when necessary.
