Everyday, cosmetic and restorative dentistry and facial aesthetics in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, explained before you decide and done so the result still looks like you.
General dentistry
Checkups and cleanings, with digital X-rays and an oral cancer screening to catch problems early. Even a small filling is done with how it looks in mind.
- Cleanings & examsA thorough cleaning and an unhurried exam, explained as we go, in a room that doesn’t feel like a dentist’s office.
- FillingsFillings shaded and shaped to match your own tooth, so the repair blends in, even on a tooth no one else will see.
- Gum careGum disease treated gently, and only as much as your gums need, with a clear look at what’s happening before anything is done.
- SealantsA quick, gentle way to protect your child’s back teeth from cavities, with nothing to numb and nothing to drill.
- Children’s dentistryEasy, unhurried visits for your children, with the same dentist as the rest of the family, in a room that doesn’t feel like a dentist’s office.
Cosmetic dentistry
A whiter, straighter or more even smile, planned around your face so it looks natural, with a preview of the result before we begin.
- Porcelain veneersPorcelain veneers that look like your own teeth, designed around your face, and you see your new smile before we begin.
- Teeth whiteningWhiter teeth that still look like yours, at a shade chosen for your face, with Philips Zoom, Opalescence or Colgate Optic White.
- BondingA chip, a gap or an uneven edge, shaped by hand so the tooth looks like yours again, usually in a single visit.
- InvisalignStraighten your teeth with clear aligners hardly anyone notices, and see your results before you start.
Restorative dentistry
Repairing a damaged tooth or replacing a missing one, with every crown, bridge and implant matched to the color and shape of your own teeth.
- Crowns & bridgesA cracked or worn tooth made strong again, or a gap filled, with work matched to the color and shape of your own teeth so the repair doesn’t show.
- Dental implantsA missing tooth replaced with one that looks, feels and works like your own, planned without rush and matched to the teeth beside it.
- ExtractionsWe try to save your tooth first. If it has to come out, you’re fully numbed, nothing is rushed, and you’ll know what replaces it before it’s gone.
- Dentures & partialsDentures and partials that look like your own smile, with teeth chosen for your face and a fit we adjust until it feels like yours.
- Night guardsA thin guard made to fit your teeth, comfortable enough to sleep in, so grinding wears the guard instead of your enamel. We’ll help you find out why you grind, too.
