Porcelain Veneers
Veneers, thin sheaths of porcelain, are often recommended for those patients who want to conceal a wide variety of cosmetic flaws without undergoing numerous or complex cosmetic, restorative, or orthodontic procedures. Porcelain veneers are customized to fit onto the front facing surfaces of teeth, and they are designed, crafted, and placed in one appointment. During the initial visit, we may have to remove a small amount of tooth enamel in order 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 temporary for a custom porcelain veneer 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 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 treatment alternative to porcelain veneers. 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.

KOR® 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 toothpastes, 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 Arlington Heights dental office 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 that 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.

Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Without a consultation, pinpointing the exact cost of cosmetic dentistry is near impossible. Why? Well, there is a wide range of treatments available and each one is completely tailored to the patient’s smile goals. Luckily, there are a few all-encompassing factors that play a role, which our team will happily share. To learn what they are, read on!
Which Cosmetic Dental Service Is Right For Me?
To answer this question, you first need to ask yourself, “What dental flaws do I want to address?” The majority of the time, patients desire to whiten, straighten, or correct misshapen teeth. If dental discoloration is your concern, then a professional teeth whitening treatment with your Arlington Heights cosmetic dentist may do the trick. On the other hand, if you wish to address permanent stains, correct noticeable chips, and fix minor misalignment, then veneers may be a more suitable option. Ultimately, the best way to find out which cosmetic dental service is right for you is by scheduling a consultation.

Why Should I Visit the Dentist for Teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening has become incredibly popular—you’ve probably seen various products in the aisles of the grocery store. However, over-the-counter whitening can often be unreliable, uncomfortable, and disappointing. Not to mention when it does whiten, the results are usually uneven. But, by choosing our professional whitening treatment, you can brighten your smile up to 8 shades in just one visit! The best part is that our treatment is safe, effective, and convenient. Plus, our whitening penetrates the enamel to lift stains and discoloration that couldn’t be reached with store bought products.
How Long Will My New Smile Last?
It depends which cosmetic treatment you get! For example, teeth whitening can last up to 6 months with proper care like brushing and flossing. However, you will be able to enjoy a more permanent solution like porcelain veneers for up to 20 years depending on your maintenance. No matter which cosmetic treatment you receive, it’s vital to understand that your dental hygiene at home plays a significant role in the longevity of your newly upgraded smile.
