Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is different from restorative dentistry. Restorative dentistry focuses on restoring compromised teeth such as those that have decayed to the point that a filling is necessary. Cosmetic dentistry centers on beautifying compromised teeth after they are stained, discolored, chipped, receding or otherwise aesthetically flawed. The overarching aim of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance the visual beauty of your smile, empowering you to be your true self when surrounded by others. Meet with our cosmetic dentist in Carol Stream and we’ll determine the optimal cosmetic treatment for your unique teeth.
As an example, our professional teeth whitening is one of our most popular cosmetic dentistry options. We whiten teeth to your selected shade of white after your teeth become stained, discolored or otherwise compromised after years of exposure to food, beverages, cigarettes, etc. Our composite bonding rectifies discolored, decayed, chipped and/or broken teeth with the use of a composite material positioned along the surface of the tooth or within a cavity. Veneers are also quite popular as they conceal stains along the surface of teeth with porcelain/resin shells. These are just a couple examples of our cosmetic dentistry treatments that boost smile aesthetics and patient confidence.
