Cosmetic Dentistry

If you are looking for a full smile makeover or if you just want to change one aspect of your smile, we are here to help. We can use veneers or crowns to give you a glam smile, or you can correct and perfect trouble areas through whitening and bonding.

Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure used to improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, discolored, misshapen, or have gaps between them. It involves the application of a tooth-colored resin material to the tooth’s surface, which is then shaped, hardened, and polished to match the surrounding teeth.

Dental bonding is a relatively quick and straightforward procedure compared to other cosmetic treatments like veneers or crowns. It can usually be completed in a single visit and can significantly improve the aesthetics of a person’s smile. However, it’s important to note that bonding materials can be more prone to staining and may not be as durable as other restorative options like veneers or crowns. Regular care and maintenance are necessary to ensure the longevity of the bonding.

Dental veneers are thin shells, typically made of porcelain or composite resin, designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They’re custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth and are bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance their aesthetics.

Veneers can address various dental issues like Discoloration, Chips or cracks, Uneven teeth, and Gaps

Getting veneers typically involves a few visits to the dentist. During the initial consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth and discuss the process with you.

Veneers are durable and can last for many years with proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. However, they may need replacement over time due to wear and tear.

It’s important to consult with a qualified dentist to determine if veneers are the right option for you, as they are a cosmetic dental procedure and may not be suitable for everyone.

Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration used to cover a damaged or decayed tooth. They’re shaped like a cap that fits over the existing tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are typically recommended for;

• Protection: Covering a weak or damaged tooth to prevent further deterioration.
• Restoration: Restoring the shape, size, and function of a broken or worn-down tooth.
• Support: Providing support to a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t much tooth left.
• Cosmetic: Improving the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

At Dentists of Hinsdale Lake we are able perform Cerec crown restorations. These crowns are created in the dental office while you wait, often during a single dental appointment.

The process involves taking digital impressions of the tooth or teeth that need crowns using a specialized camera. The computer then designs the crown based on these impressions, and the milling machine crafts the crown from a solid block of ceramic material. This technology allows for a precise fit and a more natural appearance of the crown.

We are excited to offer offer two types of whitening options for our patients.
