To help your entire family maintain healthy, glowing smiles, it is important to visit your family dentist at least twice a year.

With the help of your cosmetic dentist in Elmhurst, you can improve your smile and repair any dental damage you might have been putting off for years.

Porcelain dental veneers are custom-designed shells that are applied to the surface of your teeth.

Professional teeth whitening is the most effective and safest method available for improving the brightness of your teeth. If performed properly, teeth whitening can last as long as five years.

Once your dental crown is in place, it is important to maintain proper care of your teeth. While a crown has restored a tooth, it doesn’t mean the tooth is indestructible. With proper care, a good quality crown can last up to eight or more years.

Dental Bridges are natural-looking appliances that can fill in the gap caused by missing teeth. Simply put, bridges are natural-looking, custom-made, and barely noticeable teeth replacements.

A dental filling is a procedure used by a dentist when he/she is removing a cavity. The dentist will drill around the decayed area in the tooth to remove the cavity and then ‘fill’ in the removed space with a dental filling.

Regular dental exams are a must for a good dental health. They are non-invasive and not painful, so there is no reason to fear them.

Night mouth guards act as a barrier between your upper and lower jaws to help prevent the involuntary grinding.

Dentures are removable dental prosthesis which replaces natural teeth. Dentures are designed to resemble natural teeth and are carefully crafted to match your smile’s appearance.

The primary cause of TMJ disorder is problems with the jaw muscles or the joint. Injury to the joint or jaw or the muscles of the neck and head can lead to a TMJ disorder. Damage to the joint or jaw of the muscles of the neck and head because of a heavy whiplash can lead to the TMJ disorder.

If gingivitis is left untreated it can often advance to become periodontitis. Periodontitis causes the gums to pull away from the teeth and form pockets that can become infected. Without treatment, periodontitis can start to break down the bone and tissue that holds your teeth in place, which could result in teeth needing to be removed.
