Cosmetic Options

As in the past, the secret behind many great smiles is cosmetic dental treatment. Nowadays, veneers and whitening are extremely popular. Porcelain overlays or veneers are bonded to the fronts, sides, tops or bottoms of teeth. Their translucence and natural color create depth and high realism. Whitening definitely adds sparkle and youthfulness to any smile. In fact, it's the best way to get a gorgeous grin quickly. One option we may recommend is a take-home tray which fits perfectly around the teeth. The tray is filled with a whitening gel, and put in the mouth for a few hours a day or overnight. Teeth are gradually whitened over about ten days. Other cosmetic dentistry techniques include gum reshaping. braces, crowns, white-colored fillings and tooth proportioning. With any smile, achieving natural realism is the key since "cookie cutter" teeth look unnatural. Dr Page is Licensed as a General Dentist in the State of Illinois.
