Our families mean the world to us, so why not ensure their health is taken care of? In order to remain healthy and happy, it is important to take care of your oral health, too. To help your entire family maintain healthy, glowing smiles, it is important to visit your family dentist at least twice a year.
Cosmetic dentistry in Oak Forest and Oak Brook allows patients to take the next step toward an improved smile in only a few dental visits at Oak Dental Group.

With the availability of dental implants, our dentist can provide further comfort and stability. Dental implants can help to restore your smile back to looking and functioning naturally. It’s so good that no one will even know you were missing a tooth; all that is left is your glowing smile.
During your dental visit, your doctor may recommend using CEREC to complete dental work in one visit. For dental crowns, your tooth will be prepared as normal for your dental crown, but instead of a temporary crown being placed, the CEREC technology will allow a permanent crown to be completed and placed on the same visit! Crowns and bridges created with CEREC technology are just as durable as those created in a dental lab and eliminate the need to return for a second visit weeks later.
If you want a straighter smile without everyone noticing you are undergoing treatment, visit our office for clear braces. With clear braces, treatment is virtually undetectable so no one will even know you are receiving teeth straightening care.
Porcelain dental veneers are custom-designed shells that are applied to the surface of your teeth. You can utilize veneers to cover worn enamel and uneven tooth alignment or spacing.
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. That’s five years of more smiles and laughs! Over-the-counter teeth whitening systems can also be somewhat effective if monitored by a dentist.
Root canal therapy is a procedure where a dentist removes bad bacteria from the pulp of a tooth. That bacteria forms inside of the tooth for many reasons. Poor dental health is one of the most common causes. Also, when someone does not fix a cracked tooth, it is easier for bad bacteria to enter and attack the tooth from the inside out.
A dental extraction involves removing a tooth from its place in the jaw bone. Extractions are done in dental offices by either the dentist or a dental surgeon and are usually performed under local or general anesthesia. A dental extraction is recommended when tooth decay is severe and nothing can be done to save the tooth, or when the tooth is infected or vulnerable to infection.
Dental exams are best done every six months. Six months is the average time span between two exams, but depending on your dental health Dr. Zubinas may increase or decrease the number of annual exams.
Visiting your dentist twice a year isn’t just for fun. It is actually an important part of maintaining that healthy, glowing smile. At Oak Dental Group, we utilize special tools to ensure you receive optimal oral health care. With the help of our hygienist, we can properly clean your teeth and every crevice you might miss with a toothbrush.
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. By utilizing dental bridges in Oak Forest and Oak Brook, we can not only restore your smile by replacing missing teeth, but we will also be providing a more natural appearance and an improved proper bite relationship between your upper and lower teeth.
Partial or full tooth loss can affect your self-confidence if not treated. It can also increase your risk of developing other systemic health and nutritional problems. Luckily, dentures can bring back your smile and make chewing and eating a normal process again.
