Cosmetic Dentistry
in Algonquin, IL

When you talk to a cosmetic dentist, the goal is to improve the aesthetics of your teeth and gums. This specialized focus in dentistry differs from general dentistry, but the treatments often go hand-in-hand. Cosmetic dentistry is about appearance, while general dentistry prioritizes function.

Not only do these cosmetic procedures give you an upgraded smile, but certain treatments can also offer restorative benefits as well. Near you at Smile Aesthetix Dental, we customize every patient’s treatment plan using different types of treatments, such as teeth whitening, composite bonding, dental veneers, Invisalign, and full smile makeovers.

Teeth Whitening

One fast and easy way to improve your smile is by brightening your teeth. Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments. We can remove discolorations and stains, giving you a brighter smile that you are happy to share with everyone you meet.

The truth is that most people experience tooth discoloration at some point in life due to dark-colored food and drink (tea, coffee, wine, berries), aging, genetics, certain medications, and using tobacco products. During the teeth whitening appointment, these stains are broken down, resulting in teeth that are several shades whiter than before. At Smile Aesthetix Dental, we offer leading technology to help you achieve a Hollywood smile: Zoom Teeth Whitening.

Cosmetic Bonding

When small portions of the tooth need to be reshaped or repaired, then cosmetic dental bonding is a great treatment to consider. We place tooth-colored composite materials on the tooth being treated, making it possible to reshape and improve the overall appearance of that tooth. This cosmetic dentistry treatment is effective for teeth that are cracked, chipped, misshapen, and severely stained.

The goal with cosmetic bonding is to mask any imperfections in your smile. A cosmetic dentist carefully sculpts the resin materials to create the ideal shape, then the composite is hardened using a curing light. Finally, we finish this cosmetic dentistry treatment by polishing the restoration so it looks like a normal, natural tooth.

Dental Veneers

You can transform your smile quickly with dental veneers. This cosmetic dentistry treatment uses thin porcelain shells that are custom-designed to fit over the visible surfaces of your teeth. Many different aesthetic issues can be corrected with dental veneers, such as severe tooth staining, chipped teeth, cracks, small gaps between the teeth, or tooth misalignment.

First, the cosmetic dentist will remove a small layer of enamel to prepare your teeth for veneers. We use an intraoral scanner and the latest dental technology to create 3D digital models of your teeth. Then, the veneers are created in a dental laboratory to match your unique needs. You’ll wear temporary veneers while the customized veneers are being made. Then, during the second appointment, we’ll secure the permanent veneers by bonding them to your teeth.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

If you are looking for a comfortable and discreet way to straighten your teeth without wearing metal wires and brackets, then Invisalign is a great option to consider. This customized treatment is a popular cosmetic dentistry solution that uses clear, removable aligners to gently shift your teeth into the ideal position. Not only does Invisalign improve the appearance of your teeth, but the treatment can also help by optimizing your bite as well.

The reason why Invisalign is a preferred cosmetic treatment for people of all ages is that these aligners are virtually invisible in the mouth. Additionally, you can take the aligners out at any time, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods on a daily basis.
