Many Wilmette professionals, students and retirees are enjoying the lasting benefits of cosmetic dentistry. A beautiful smile not only looks great, it makes you feel great! When you first look in the mirror in the morning while brushing those gleaming babies, you remember; oh yeah, I fixed my teeth and they look fantastic!

When you smile at old friends or make new ones, you are happy to show off your new movie-star grin. When you are in a professional setting speaking with colleagues or clients, you feel poised and super confident.

We have talked about different cosmetic and restorative dental procedures available in Wilmette in previous blog articles, but let’s review the most common.

Dental veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that adhere to teeth. Porcelain veneers are strong and have the translucency of natural teeth. They correct chips, stains and misaligned teeth that do not require orthodontia. There are several companies that fabricate veneers.

Dental crowns correct more extensive tooth problems. They are used in a variety of situations such as the final restoration following a root canal or to restore teeth damaged by decay, injury or periodontal disease.

Dental implants are one of the best fixes for a missing tooth. They are becoming a popular and effective alternative to bridges and partial dentures in Illinois, especially among middle-aged professionals and people in the public eye.

Bridges are another strong, natural looking replacement for one or more missing teeth. They have been used with success for many years.

Professional tooth whitening in your Wilmette dentist’s office is the least invasive and quickest way to brighten your smile several shades.

If you are interested in any of these safe and effective procedures, schedule a consultation at Dino Mantis, DDS today. Even if you are still a bit hesitant, remember: discussing your options with a cosmetic dentist does not require a commitment of any kind. It is merely a relaxed way to get the most reliable information.

We are waiting for your call. Dino Mantis, DDS can be reached at 847.256.4776.

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure in Evanston and throughout IL.

Numerous ads for whitening products in our local Evanston media contain terms such as ‘white brite’, ’22 carbamide peroxide’ and ‘peroxide teeth’. They look tempting, but how do you separate tooth whitening fact from fiction?

First, and especially for our local Evanston IL patients, we recommend talking to Dino Mantis DDS at Dino Mantis, DDS. Just because teeth whitening products are readily available, it doesn’t mean they are all safe or appropriate for every person. Getting a professional opinion is a good first step.

Don’t be fooled by smile whitening hype and risk damage, especially if you need tetracycline teeth whitening. If you have existing cosmetic dental work such as crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridge work, it is especially important to talk to a Evanston dental professional about worry free dentistry teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening kits are not the only way to quickly improve your smile in Evanston. Many of your neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. There are several brands of veneers such as Lumineers by Cerinate, da Vinci and Mac. We can help you decide on which is best for you.

Veneers are sometimes called ‘instant orthodontics’ because they can correct tooth misalignment and gaps as well as provide instant teeth whitening.

Porcelain veneers can also fix chipped teeth and cover stains. The vast majority of Evanston dental veneer recipients are extremely pleased with the results.  We serve patients in the Kenilworth, Evanston, Wilmette, and North Shore areas.

Providing comprehensive dental care for Wilmette families since 1987.

Ill-fitting dentures cause more problems for Wilmette denture wearers than they solve. If you live with loose dentures, you probably regard them as a necessary evil. Though they certainly look better than a toothless mouth, in practical terms they leave much to be desired because they affect two essential activities: eating and talking.

Unfortunately, many frustrated denture wearers have quit dining in restaurants or engaging in social activities because they are afraid their dentures will slip.

Dental implant procedures at Dino Mantis, DDS in Wilmette are allowing former denture patients to re-engage in life.

Consider the advantages of implant anchored dentures:

• They are stable because the implant is anchored in the bone.
• Your denture is fixed, it will not move around in your mouth.
• They prevent bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are removed.
• They eliminate the necessity of regular denture relines.
• They do not irritate gums.
• No denture adhesive is required.

Our dental implant bone clients who have replaced their traditional dentures with implant overdentures enthusiastically say that the dental implant cost was more than worth it.

Do you want to eat normally again? What is the value of maintaining your facial shape? Can you put a price on confidence?

If you want more information about dental implants, call 847.256.4776 to schedule an implant tooth consultation with Dino Mantis. Dino Mantis, DDS is located at 1625 Sheridan Road in Wilmette. We have been providing advanced Wilmette cosmetic dental care since 1987 to patients in the Evanston, Kenilworth, Wilmette, and North Shore areas.

A smile is always in style.

No one in Wilmette likes to settle for less than the best, especially with something as important as your smile. Dino Mantis DDS at Dino Mantis, DDS in Wilmette has the solutions for your smile problems.

You don’t have to live with crooked or chipped teeth. Porcelain veneers are an affordable and non-invasive way to correct misshapen or damaged teeth that are otherwise structurally sound. If you have a tooth that is beyond repair, don’t despair. A dental implant may be the answer. Call 847.256.4776 for a tooth implant consultation in our local Wilmette office.

You don’t have to watch your teeth become duller and more discolored every year, either. Whether you are young, older or somewhere in the middle, teeth whitening works wonders to perk up your smile.

The latest restorative and cosmetic dental procedures are performed right here at Dino Mantis, DDS in Wilmette.

I have been practicing dentistry since 1987 for patients in the North Shore, Evanston, Kenilworth, and Wilmette areas.

Because they love their smile, they smile more often.

The world of dentistry continues to advance at a rapid pace. If you have visited a dentist in the past few years, you have probably noticed the things that make your visit more comfortable, such as the ability to watch TV or listen to music while receiving treatment. Many cosmetic dentistry patients welcome oral conscious sedation to reduce or eliminate pain.

What may not be as obvious are the advances in techniques, tools and materials. Top dental practices in the Wilmette area now use digital computer imaging which is safer than traditional x-rays. Dental technicians can store, retrieve and transmit digital images much easier than was possible with traditional x-ray film.

The use of lasers has also changed the face of restorative dentistry. Laser surgery requires less anesthesia, minimizes swelling, and protects surrounding tissue.  Family dentists use lasers for detecting and treating cavities and dental technicians use them for the curing of restorative materials.

Another exciting development in cosmetic dentistry is the CAD-CAM technology that allows cosmetic dentists to perform restorations in a single visit. The types of procedures that can be completed in one visit include dental crowns, fillings, inlays, onlays and dental veneers.

If you need a thorough exam or want to improve your smile with cosmetic and restorative dentistry, call Dino Mantis, DDS at 847.256.4776 to schedule a consultation. During your consultation, you can see before and after photos of some of our smile makeover clients. We would love to help you achieve the smile you have always wanted, and we have the tools, experience and technology to make that happen.

People who are most happy with their smiles have healthy, straight teeth that sparkle when they laugh. If nature didn’t bless you with attractive teeth, you are not alone. Most perfect smiles you come across were not always that way. They are the result of cosmetic dentistry performed by an experienced Wilmette aesthetic dentist.

Dino Mantis DDS, in Wilmette, provides the state-of-the-art procedures that deliver dazzling, flawless teeth for our cosmetic dentistry clients. We treat patients from birth to 80. You are never too young or too old to improve your smile!

Two common smile-killers are yellow enamel and chipped teeth.

Discolored Teeth

Few Wilmette people have pearly white smiles that stay that way forever. Even with consistent brushing, flossing and regular dental cleanings, our teeth darken as we age. Fortunately, the most affordable Wilmette cosmetic dentistry procedure is tooth whitening. Picture yourself with a celebrity-caliber smile. It is possible with safe and affordable teeth whitening at Dino Mantis, DDS.

Damaged Teeth

Our teeth work hard for us day after day, year after year. Sometimes they get chipped or cracked in the process. If you would like to fix your tooth flaws, schedule a consultation by calling Dino Mantis, DDS at 847.256.4776. We use porcelain veneers every day to remedy tooth trauma. Cosmetic bonding has been used with fabulous results for many years and bonding is usually a fraction of the price of a crown.

Ask Doctor Mantis which of our Wilmette cosmetic dentistry procedures can be completed in one appointment. How about a same-day smile makeover?

If you have never been eager to show your teeth when you smile or laugh, now is the time to change that. Call Dino Mantis, DDS today at 847.256.4776 to schedule a smile design consultation.  We serve patients in both the Wilmette and North Shore areas.

Hello, I’m Doctor Dino Mantis DDS. My Wilmette family dental practice is called Dino Mantis, DDS. We are located at 1625 Sheridan Road in Wilmette (60091), and you can reach us by calling 847.256.4776.

You can probably imagine why I look at smiles everywhere I go in the Wilmette area. Whether I am working with a Kenilworth dental patient, having dinner at a North Shore restaurant, or attending an Evanston sporting event, I notice whether the people around me smile. Whenever I encounter someone with obvious tooth problems, I want to tell them about the procedures that can completely transform their frown into a healthy and beautiful smile.

Are you one of those people who don’t want to show their teeth? I would love to talk to you about a smile makeover. Whatever your excuse is for not seeking dental treatment, I can discuss all of your concerns with you during a free consultation.

Perhaps you are afraid of dental work. Have you ever considered oral conscious sedation? With sedation dentistry, even extensive treatment is virtually pain free. Sedation will calm your mind as well as the nerves in your mouth.

Perhaps the cost of Wilmette cosmetic dentistry is holding you back. My excellent staff will be happy to talk to you about financing plans. It is important to remember that if your teeth are decayed, postponing treatment will cost more money in the long run. Filling a cavity is far more affordable dentistry than a root canal procedure or, in the case of an extracted tooth, a dental implant.

You can contact my office at 847.256.4776 or online at http://www.drdinomantis.com/. My Wilmette family dental website contains information about all the general, restorative and aesthetic services we provide.

I can transform your smile into one that you will want to show all the time!
