Cosmetic Dentist Arlington Heights

Veneers

Veneers are thin sheaths of porcelain that are often recommended for those patients who want to conceal a wide variety of aesthetic dental flaws without undergoing numerous or complex cosmetic, restorative, or orthodontic procedures. Veneers are customized to fit onto the front-facing surfaces of teeth, and they are designed, crafted, and placed in two appointments.

During the initial visit, we may have to remove a small amount of tooth enamel to allow the veneer to lay flat within the smile line. Then, we’ll capture bite impressions that will be used by our lab to create the custom veneers. If we need to remove surface enamel to prepare the smile for veneers, we’ll place a temporary to protect the prepared teeth. Once we receive the final veneers, you’ll return to our dental office to exchange the temporaries for custom porcelain veneers, perfecting your smile.

Metal-Free Dental Crowns

In the past, restoring a damaged tooth meant placing a clunky, cumbersome, metal crown over the top of it. Over time, this could cause tooth discoloration and dental sensitivity. With modern, metal-free dental crowns that are made from porcelain and ceramic, you can get your oral health back on track without worrying about any of these issues. Not only do they flawlessly blend in with the rest of your natural teeth, but they also provide long-lasting and durable protection.

Cosmetic Dental Bonding

While not possible in every situation, direct bonding may allow us to provide many patients with a more conservative and affordable cosmetic dentistry treatment alternative to porcelain veneers. Also known as cosmetic dental bonding, direct bonding uses the same tooth-colored composite resin utilized for fillings. We apply the composite to the surfaces of teeth. Then, we shape the putty-like material into position, correcting and concealing dental damage and decay. Once in place, we use a curing light to harden the composite into position.

KöR® Teeth Whitening

Many of the patients who choose to visit our dental office for teeth whitening have already tried over-the-counter whitening solutions. While these kinds of toothpaste, mouthwashes, strips, and gels promise dramatically brighter results, they cannot typically deliver the kind of teeth whitening results patients are hoping for. Our team offers safe and effective in-office teeth whitening. We use the KöR teeth whitening system that brightens smiles up to ten shades in just one short visit to our dental office near Rolling Meadows and sends you home with treatments that you can do from home to maintain your radiant results.

Gum Recontouring

Using our advanced, soft tissue laser, we’re able to fix disproportionately gummy smiles by precisely reshaping the gumline. The laser utilizes a concentrated and accurate beam of light to remove excess gum tissue as well as cauterize the area. That means there’s no need for sutures, scalpels, or a long recovery time. Once the procedure is complete, you’ll be able to enjoy a beautifully sculpted grin that you can feel proud of.
