Cosmetic Dentistry

Like all veneers, composite resin veneers are used to improve the overall appearance of teeth by changing their shape and color. Composite resin veneers are ideal for quickly and effectively treating multiple cosmetic dental issues including stained teeth, crooked teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, or to fill in gaps between existing teeth.

The composite white filling is an increasingly popular alternative to the traditional silver amalgam filling. Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings are virtually invisible, and our team at Dental Care of Round Lake Beach can shade them according to the color of your teeth, creating a perfect match and giving you a beautiful, white smile!

Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap with a false tooth or teeth in between. These false teeth can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Bridges can restore your smile, prevent further tooth misalignment, and aid your ability to chew comfortably.

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size or length. These veneers are a popular option because they mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.  Dental veneers can also provide relief from the tooth pain associated with worn enamel.

A smile makeover is a process of improving the appearance of your smile through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as:

• Dental veneers
• Composite bonding
• Implants
• Teeth whitening

Some of the components taken into consideration include your facial appearance, skin tone, hair color, teeth (color, width, length, shape and tooth display), gum tissue and lips. Smile makeovers are performed for many reasons and customized according to your unique considerations.
