Enhancing your smile with cosmetic dentistry in Chicago.
If you’re searching for cosmetic dentistry services in Chicago to improve the look and feel of your smile, our team has extensive experience. Dr. Brittany Dickinson has helped many patients in Chicago achieve a beautiful smile, addressing issues from stained teeth to missing teeth.
Address and disguise a variety of dental imperfections
Stains and Discoloration
Yellowing or discoloration of teeth can diminish the vibrancy of your smile. While surface stains are easily removed through professional whitening, deeper, permanent stains can be beautifully concealed with veneers or dental bonding.
Dental Misalignment
For those seeking a straighter smile without the commitment to metal braces, options are available for correcting crooked, gapped, or slightly overlapping teeth. For mild misalignments, we may suggest veneers, while more pronounced cases may benefit from the discreet effectiveness of Invisalign®.
Gummy Smiles
Excess gum tissue can create the appearance of overly small teeth. Through precise gum contouring, we can gently remove excess tissue, unveiling a fuller, more radiant smile. Even a subtle adjustment can yield remarkable results. Additionally, we offer Botox therapy to relax the upper lip, preventing it from rising too high and minimizing gum exposure when you smile, effectively softening the look of a gummy smile.
Chips and Cracks
Chipped or cracked teeth can create an uneven appearance and may even irritate the inside of your cheeks, leading to discomfort. Dr. Brittany Dickinson can expertly restore minor damage with veneers or bonding, ensuring a balanced, comfortable smile.
Missing Teeth
The absence of teeth can affect not only your confidence but also lead to misalignment, jawbone deterioration, and even nutritional issues. As a skilled cosmetic dentist, Dr. Dickinson restores dental implants—the gold standard in tooth replacement—to provide both function and aesthetics.
Natural Wear
An uneven bite or habitual teeth grinding can lead to premature wear, affecting both the appearance and comfort of your smile. Cosmetic dentists can address this concern by placing veneers or dental crowns, restoring both function and confidence.
Old Restorations
Aging crowns, bridges, or metal fillings can detract from the health and appearance of your smile. If it’s time to refresh your dental work, our dentists can replace outdated restorations with natural-looking, durable alternatives that enhance both beauty and function.
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Unlike restorative or general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry is primarily focused on enhancing the appearance of individual teeth and your overall smile. While some cosmetic treatments may offer minor health benefits, their primary goal is to improve aesthetics.
If your smile’s function or health is a concern, restorative dentistry treatments may be necessary first, providing a strong foundation before pursuing cosmetic procedures. With Dr. Brittany Dickinson’s advanced training, you can receive both cosmetic and restorative care at our Chicago, IL, practice. Whether your teeth are subtly discolored or significantly damaged, we are here to help you achieve a radiant smile.
Benefits of cosmetic dentistry.
Enhanced self-esteem
It can be difficult to smile with confidence when we feel self-conscious about our teeth. This is a common concern for many, but it’s one we can resolve. From teeth whitening to Invisalign, our cosmetic dentists are dedicated to crafting a smile you’ll be proud to share.
Simplified at-home care
Cosmetic dentistry not only enhances the beauty of your smile but also makes it easier to maintain. Treatments like Invisalign improve your ability to brush and floss with ease, helping you preserve your stunning smile for a lifetime.
Improved oral health
Certain cosmetic treatments, such as Invisalign, can promote better oral health, while combined restorative and cosmetic procedures—like dental implants and crowns—can lower the risk of periodontal disease, ensuring both the aesthetics and health of your smile.
