You will meet with Dr. Stein or Dr. Brand to discuss what you like and dislike about your smile and they will help determine the best treatments for you.
Invisalign
Patients can receive a straighter and more balanced smile with Invisalign. Invisalign is a discreet and easier alternative to traditional metal braces. This is because it utilizes a series of clear plastic aligners that will gradually straighten teeth over time. On the other hand, traditional metal braces can pinch the gum tissue surrounding teeth and take much longer to straighten your teeth.
Choosing Invisalign over metal braces has its benefits. For example, the average time of treatment with Invisalign is twelve months. Therefore, you can have straighter teeth in a shorter amount of time. Invisalign patients can take their clear aligners out to eat and brush their teeth, so there are no dietary restrictions. To learn more about our Invisalign services, visit Invisalign.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers are a cosmetic solution that covers damaged and discolored teeth for a smooth and bright appearance. We will take dental impressions of your teeth during treatment so that the veneers fit you perfectly. The dental lab will fabricate the veneers to the specific shape, size, and color we provide.
Once the dental veneers are complete, we clean your teeth and bond the veneers to them for a natural restoration. Because porcelain reflects light, it offers a more natural look than other compounds. To see if you qualify and to learn more about our veneers process, visit Porcelain Veneers.
Teeth Bonding
Tooth bonding is a quick and easy solution to cosmetic problems like chipped, cracked, and stained teeth. Dr. Brand can complete your tooth bonding procedure in just one visit to our Chicago, IL, dental office. Prior to your bonding treatment, we will review your oral health history, budget, and goals with you. Dental bonding should align with your specific needs.
Tooth bonding is a more economical alternative to porcelain veneers. For example, they are cheaper, and the treatment time is faster. Patients who may not want a permanent cosmetic restoration can benefit from this efficient treatment. To learn about how our teeth bonding treatment works, visit Teeth Bonding.
Teeth Whitening
In-office professional teeth whitening is one of the quickest and most efficient ways to brighten your smile. For instance, we can complete an in-office whitening treatment in about an hour. Ask Dr. Brand about our teeth whitening solutions if you have discolored, stained, or yellowed teeth.
In addition to in-office whitening, we also offer custom-made teeth whitening trays. Our patients can wear the trays daily at home to whiten their teeth on their own time.
Both types of treatments simply require one visit to our office. To create a whitening tray, we will first take dental impressions of your teeth. These custom trays will ensure that the whitening gel evenly distributes to each tooth. To learn more about our professional teeth whitening services, visit Teeth Whitening.
