Cosmetic dentistry procedures available in Chicago

Dentistry, like medicine, remained rather primitive until recent history. Advances in science and technology in the last century, particularly in the last couple of decades, have revolutionized health care, including dentistry. Today’s dentist wears many hats. A good dentist is a guardian of oral health, advisor of good habits, master of advanced technology, and a talented smile artist. You will find an entire team of dentists who meet and exceed these qualifications at Big Smile Dental in Chicago.

Some of the most popular cosmetic procedures include:

• Teeth whitening is currently one of the most requested dental procedures, with very good reason. Simply brightening your smile can make you look years younger, and help you make an unforgettable first impression. Even better, when you feel good about what you see in the mirror, you can approach the day with a good feeling and elevated level of confidence.
• Porcelain veneers are the wonder-workers of smile enhancement. We replace the upholstery on furniture, siding on a building, or paint on a car to give it a facelift, and make it look new again. Why not replace the old, worn, damaged, or stained enamel on your teeth? That is exactly what veneers do. They are very thin, requiring minimal tooth preparation, yet they can cover virtually any cosmetic flaw with a gorgeous, bright, layer of porcelain.
• Orthodontics may not be considered attractive, but crooked teeth sure aren’t pretty. A year or two in metal braces can reward you with a lifetime of dazzling, straight teeth. Even better, for the image conscious patient, Invisalign can straighten teeth with no metal – the braces are invisible and removable, yet highly effective.
• Bonding and tooth colored fillings are conservative procedures used to repair minor damage or fill cavities. The resin material is colored to match your tooth, and applied directly to the surface. It is the consistency of putty, and sculpted to the ideal shape.
