About Innovative Periodontics & Implants: Donald G Flynn, DDS
Periodontal referrals from around the Fox Valley tend to end up on North Highland Avenue, which runs up Aurora's west side well clear of the downtown one-way grid. Suite 103 at 1177 has parking at the door and an unfussy approach from Galena Boulevard or Indian Trail. For patients sent from general practices in Aurora, North Aurora, Batavia and Geneva it is a short drive; for anyone coming from the far east side beyond Route 59, the trip crosses the whole city, so factor that in when you pick an appointment time. The schedule is a specialist's schedule, running Tuesday to Thursday from 7:30 to 5:30 and Friday mornings until 2:30, closed on Mondays.
Dr. Donald Flynn is a periodontist and an Aurora native who opened this practice in 1995 and also sees patients at a second office in Peru, Illinois. The work centers on gum disease, dental implants, All-on-Four full-arch restoration, bone grafting and surgical extractions. Periodontal disease is worth explaining properly, because the mechanism explains the treatment. Bacteria colonize below the gumline, the body's inflammatory response begins dissolving the bone that anchors the tooth, the pocket deepens, and the deeper pocket shelters more bacteria. Non-surgical care clears that colony off the root below the gumline so inflammation settles and the tissue can reattach. Surgical access lets a periodontist reach defects that instruments cannot otherwise touch, and grafting can rebuild bone in certain contained defect shapes. What none of it does is restore an evenly resorbed ridge.
Periodontal care is a maintenance relationship rather than a one-off procedure. The bone you keep is the bone you protect on a shorter recall interval.
A consultation and a check of your benefits come before any treatment plan, which is the sensible order if you are weighing an implant against a bridge or a denture. On timing, expect the implant pathway to be longer than the brochures suggest: a grafted extraction site heals for three to four months, the implant then fuses with bone over another three to six, and only then is the final crown made. Immediate teeth exist, but what goes in on the day is a temporary.

If you fear dental work go to Dr Flynn he is gentle and skilled. He is very thorough and explains everything. His staff is wonderful always willing to help.
Dr.Tokarski and the entire staff were excellent and put me at ease. From the first appointment set up communication was clear, and the billing was straightforward, with options communicated fully. I received timely calls back to my inquiries. They got me on an urgent basis and my issue with an implant I have had for over 20 years was resolved. I would highly recommend this office and should I need assistance in the future, I will contact them again
Dr. Tokarski has been absolutely incredible in the care that he has been providing. I went into this experience feeling hopeless and after meeting with him and hearing his immediate and comprehensive treatment plan, I felt as though a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I feel seen and heard here and I strongly encourage anyone that is nervous about facing extensive and complex periodontal treatment to trust Dr. Tokarski and his team at Innovative to provide the very best care.
Dr. Flynn and his team are top-tier professionals. I was warmly welcome upon my arrival and was checked in quickly. I saw Keila today, and it was a very pleasant appointment! I was a bit nervous about what would be happening. She explained what she would be doing before starting. I required local anesthesia, and it was a pain-free injection! I was comfortable throughout the appointment. She gave clear home care and post-operative instructions. I highly recommend Dr. Flynn and his team! Thank you all very much!
Great experience from extracting my.tooth to having the implant placed. It was very nice to meet you all. Good conversations. Hope to be seeing you guys again.
Fantastic Experience here with Dr. Flynn and his staff. Everyone is so welcoming and pleasant. Dr. Flynn is a major part of the team of specialists I selected to correct my smile. I have two 20+ year crowns (which caused decay, leading to bone loss) I saw him in March for a Bone Graft to correct the issue - it healed so nicely. Surgery was quick and almost painless. He has a very accurate with those injections. After waiting 6+ months, Dr Flynn then performed a gingivectomy (similar to crown lengthening) He did such fabulous work reshaping my gum line to prepare for new crowns. They look amazing. So natural.. I will come back to update with photos once I have my crowns placed! I highly recommend Dr. Flynn!!!
