In Woodstock, turn left onto Lake Avenue, follow South Madison Street through the roundabout and turn west on West Washington Street (IL 120) to reach 226 Washington St.

Why Huntley Patients Make the Drive North
Huntley was founded in 1851 and incorporated in 1872, and its Village Hall stands on Main Street. The village sits mainly in McHenry County and reaches south into Kane County, and recent growth along IL 47 includes new businesses and distribution warehouses. The village also takes in the Sun City neighborhood.
The local park district was founded in 1965 by Edwin and Lois Deicke. Deicke Park on Route 47 stands on land the Deickes donated and holds a reconstructed 1920s log cabin, while Stingray Bay Family Aquatic Center has drawn families since 2002. Students head to Huntley High School in District 158, and the Village of Huntley website covers village services.
For many residents, the reason to drive north is the kind of care they need. Conway Dental's owner, Dr. Mohammed Albomter, has advanced implant training, and the office plans implant work with CBCT 3D imaging. Patients who have put off replacing a missing tooth, or who are tired of a loose denture, can talk through every option in one place.
What Huntley Residents Should Know About Missing and Worn Teeth
Huntley's residents skew older: about a third are 65 or older, and the median age is close to 50. That shapes the dental questions that matter most here: keeping natural teeth healthy for life, replacing the ones that are lost and making dentures fit and feel secure.
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it slowly shrinks because nothing is stimulating it anymore. Over time that can let neighboring teeth drift and make a denture feel looser each year. Implants replace the root as well as the visible tooth, which is why many patients prefer them for long-term stability.
Gum health deserves equal attention. Many common medications cause dry mouth, and a dry mouth leaves teeth and gums more vulnerable to decay and inflammation. Regular cleanings and periodontal care catch those changes early, before they threaten the teeth you want to keep.
If you are unsure whether you are a good fit for implants, our page on dental implant candidacy covers the factors the dentist reviews. New patients can also book a complimentary dental implant consultation to discuss their own situation in person.
Choosing a Dentist in Huntley, IL for Implants, Dentures and Crowns
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up, giving you a stable base for chewing and smiling. CBCT 3D imaging lets the dentist see the bone in detail before placing it. For many patients, it is a long-lasting answer to a gap.
Complete & Partial Dentures
Complete dentures replace a full arch, and partials fill gaps while keeping your remaining natural teeth. A well-made denture restores your bite and the shape of your smile. If an older set has started to slip, it may be time for a refit or an implant-supported option.
Implant-Supported Crowns
An implant-supported crown is the visible tooth that sits on top of an implant. It is shaped and shaded to blend with your other teeth, so neighbors and grandkids see a natural smile. It also keeps nearby teeth from drifting into the gap.
Dental Crowns
A crown covers and protects a tooth weakened by a large filling, a crack or a root canal. Digital scanning with the iTero system means no messy impression trays. Crowns let patients keep chewing comfortably on teeth that might otherwise be lost.
Cleanings & Periodontal Care
Professional cleanings and gum treatment protect both natural teeth and the tissue around implants. The dentist watches for gum recession and inflammation at every visit. Steady care now helps you avoid larger restorative work later.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Conway Dental from Huntley, and how do I get there?
Plan on about 22 minutes for the 11.9-mile drive from Huntley Village Hall. The route uses Ruth Road and Algonquin Road to reach IL 47, follows IL 47 north for roughly nine miles, then takes Lake Avenue and Washington Street into downtown Woodstock. For anyone who wants a dentist in Huntley, IL residents can reach on one main highway, it is a straightforward trip.
Can dry mouth from my medications harm my teeth?
Yes, it can. Saliva washes away food and neutralizes acid, so a dry mouth leaves teeth more open to decay, especially along the gumline and around older fillings. Sipping water, chewing sugar-free gum and keeping up with cleanings all help. Mention every medication at your visit, because the dentist can watch the teeth most at risk and adjust your care.
Can loose dentures be replaced with teeth that stay put?
Yes. Implants can anchor replacement teeth so they no longer slip when you eat or talk. Conway Dental offers Teeth-In-A-Day, which places implants and a full set of temporary teeth in one visit, as well as fixed full-arch options and implant-supported crowns. The dentist will compare these choices with you at a consultation and explain the steps involved.
Do I need to take the tollway to reach your office from Huntley?
No. The usual route skips I-90 entirely and runs north on IL 47, so there are no tolls to pay. IL 47 is busy, though, so allow extra time at school and rush hours if you are booked for an 8:00 AM start. Appointments begin on schedule, and a few spare minutes keep the morning relaxed.
Will my insurance help pay for dentures or implants?
Many plans pay for part of the cost, depending on your coverage. Conway Dental works with a multitude of insurance providers and processes the claims for you to help you get your maximum benefits. If a balance remains, flexible financing options can spread it out, and the office accepts all major credit cards, cash and checks.
