Cosmetic Dentistry: Smile Design
The art and science of the perfect smile. Smile design focuses on adjusting proportions and symmetry to craft an appearance pleasing to the eye. Both teeth and gum tissue must be properly aligned and shaped in order to have a truly beautiful smile. The staff at Dental Care of Vernon Hills are experts in correcting these aspects of your smile to improve your appearance.
Discolored or misshapen teeth can be covered to present a look of straight
healthy teeth. Veneers are a covering composed of either resin or porcelain
that mask the imperfections of your natural teeth and can even correct minor
malpositioning of the teeth without braces. Learn

Whitening
Food, drinks, smoking and certain medications can cause staining of your
natural teeth. This process often takes years to become noticeable because
staining is usually slow. Some of this stain can be removed by having regular
professional cleanings, but to get teeth their whitest you must go to a
dental office for a whitening treatment. The whitening agents penetrate
the teeth to remove much more stain than surface cleaning alone. After treatment
in office you will receive a kit to take home with more whitening agent
and custom made trays to apply it to your teeth. With occasional use this
kit will help to keep the stain away from your new bright smile.
Most adults who have crooked or crowded teeth are unhappy with their appearance
but dread the idea of going back to braces. People have no need to worry
about a mouth full of metal anymore. With state-of-the-art computer technology
dentists can fabricate plastic "aligners" that are transparent and very
comfortable. These aligners are also easily removable so you can still enjoy
meals and brush your teeth normally. In most cases these aligners can strainghten
your teeth as fast or faster than traditional braces. Learn

Gum Recontouring
Gum recontouring is an important part of cosmetic dental treatments. You can not have a proportional and therefore beautiful smile without it. In the past gum recontouring required painful surgical techniques. Today we can provide the same results with minimal discomfort and rapid healing using laser technology.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a vital part of the modern dental practice. People no
longer need to feel like loosing teeth means they are destined for a bridge
or a denture. With dental implants, an artificial tooth root can be placed
that functions like the natural tooth that was lost. At Dental Care of Vernon
Hills we provide all facets of implant dentistry so no costly and time consuming
specialist referrals are needed.
