Porcelain veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that are attached to the front of your teeth. Porcelain has been used in dentistry for many years because no other restorative material is such an excellent match for natural tooth enamel. Porcelain is translucent and can be matched to the color of any tooth. It is stronger than enamel and resists stains. Dental ceramists who fabricate porcelain veneers are both artists and technicians. They create beautiful paper-thin wafers that adhere to teeth, correcting chips and stains. Porcelain veneers can also straighten crooked teeth for patients who don’t need orthodontic work.

Patients who receive porcelain veneers appreciate the less-invasive process of enhancing their smile. Newer techniques require no removal of healthy tooth enamel.

We would be happy to show you what veneers can do for your smile.

Smile – sunshine is good for your teeth!

Some Wilmette dental problems are more extensive and require a combination of procedures. Crown restoration combined with soft tissue grafts can restore a severely decayed tooth with the root exposed. A bone graft and dental implant can restore a missing tooth in an area where the jaw bone has receded. Orthodontia followed by tooth bleaching totally transforms a smile by straightening and whitening.

What is the difference between tooth bleaching and whitening? Whitening is the term for procedures which remove surface stains to restore the degree of natural lightness. Bleaching goes even further by lightening teeth beyond their natural shade. That’s right: you don’t have to resign yourself to yellow teeth even if they have been that way your whole life! The natural shade of your teeth, by the way, like your skin and hair color, is determined by genetics.

Some Wilmette smiles have been gleaming for years by regular whitening. You can maintain the whiteness of your teeth just as you maintain your fitness level. (Of course it is a lot easier to make a quick visit to your Wilmette dentist once a year for whitening touch-ups than sweating in a gym several times a week!)

We live in an age where severe dental problems can be permanently corrected. You don’t have to participate in a TV makeover show in Hollywood to access these premium cosmetic dental procedures. They are available right here in Wilmette, North Shore and Kenilworth. Dino Mantis has the same advanced training and extensive experience as the dentists who keep the smiles of famous actors and musicians camera-ready.

One of the latest breakthroughs in Wilmette cosmetic dentistry is prepless veneers. Though thousands of North Shore and Kenilworth smile restoration clients who have received traditional veneers are happy with the results, some IL dental clients have delayed this procedure because they do not want to lose healthy tooth structure.

DURAthin prepless veneers are a less-invasive procedure for transforming Wilmette smiles. Prepless veneers are incredibly thin shells which adhere to the face of teeth and require no removal of tooth enamel. Most Wilmette prepless veneers are about the thickness of two pieces of paper. Because the color is built into the veneers (instead of being applied after fabrication), they look like your natural teeth–only better!

Our experienced IL ceramists are skilled artists. They create each custom veneer with the optimum shape, color and thickness for your new smile. Another great feature of the Dino Mantis, DDS prepless veneers application procedure is that it requires no anesthesia or drilling.

If you are embarrassed by misaligned, discolored or broken teeth, Kenilworth prepless veneers may be a IL smile restoration solution that you can feel good about.

Call Dino Mantis, DDS to learn more about Wilmette prepless veneers. It is the first step toward your dazzling new smile!

A beautiful smile is an important component of your overall appearance. Unattractive teeth draw the eye away from other pleasing features such as thick shiny hair, gorgeous eyes or a peaches and cream complexion.

Fortunately, there are several cosmetic dental procedures to restore or repair one or more teeth. At Dino Mantis DDS in Wilmette, we can complete most of them in one short visit. Think about it; you could achieve a stunning smile in less than an afternoon!

Veneers, Bonding and Cosmetic Implant Dentistry
Dental bonding is an affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure available in Wilmette at Dino Mantis DDS. We use dental bonding in a variety of applications. In addition to repairing damage, dental bonding can close gaps between teeth. Porcelain veneers are another minimally invasive cosmetic fix. Like cosmetic dental bonding, veneers correct chips, cracks and improve tooth shape.

What if your problem is not an unattractive tooth but a missing tooth? Don’t despair, a beautiful smile is still possible in Hayward with dental implants.

For more information about veneers, bonding, implants and other cosmetic denistry procedures, call Dino Mantis DDS at 847.973.5050. We are conveniently located at 1625 Sheridan Road, in Wilmette, IL.  We look forward to showing you cosmetic dentistry ‘before after’ pictures.

Many so-called Wilmette cosmetic dental procedures are not solely cosmetic.  Dental procedures such as tooth replacement are smile-enhancing and, more importantly, prevent many potential problems such as tooth movement, bone loss and difficulty chewing and speaking.

Myth #2: A Wilmette Dental Bridge is the Only Way to Replace a Missing Tooth

Dental bridges are an Evanston dental cosmetic procedure that have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many advantages for  dental patients. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Illinois tooth implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.

Myth #3: At-Home Kits are as Effective for Wilmette Tooth Whitening Than a Professional Dental Solution

At Dino Mantis DDS, we offer our dental patients teeth whitening treatments that provide a much greater level of whiteness than at-home kits. At-home kits may remove surface stains, but they do not provide optimum results and can often lead to uneven coloring.

Myth #4: Dental Bonding is the Best Way to Fix a Chipped Tooth.

Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Call us at 847.973.5050 to set up an appointment so we can determine the best solution for you.

Myth #5: North Shore Braces are the Only Way to Straighten Teeth

Braces are often part of a transforming dental makeover for our teens and adults alike. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, veneers can reshape your teeth and dramatically improve your smile. And the best thing about veneers? They offer instant results!

Cost
In the long run, it is less expensive to do it all at once. At Dino Mantis DDS in Wilmette, we are able to complete several procedures in one visit. We know that complete smile transformations are a significant investment for most Illinois residents. We would be happy to discuss affordable dentistry financing options. Call us at 847.973.5050 to schedule a no-pressure consultation.

Time
With the latest materials and cosmetic dental techniques, healing times are shorter than ever before. However, some procedures such as bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, root canals, and dental implants often require a short healing period.

It is easier physically and psychologically to have the fewest possible visits to your Wilmette dentist. You should also consider how your dental visits and necessary healing periods will impact your employment and family life. You will have less down time if you receive several procedures at once.

Aesthetic Results
While we routinely achieve great outcomes when doing a smile makeover in steps, porcelain restorations are best fabricated in the same “batch” for the most precise color matching.

Sedation Dentistry

When you come in for a smile analysis, we can discuss oral sedation dentistry. Many Glenview and Evanston cosmetic dental patients benefit from this safe and effective solution for pain and anxiety management. Conscious sedation is especially helpful for procedures such as multiple wisdom teeth extractions and dental implant placement.

Even a small change can make a big difference in the appearance of your teeth. You might consider getting a porcelain veneer for a chipped tooth or replacing a broken dental crown. Maybe you want to straighten your teeth with braces or replace amalgam fillings with clear ones that blend with your natural teeth. Tooth whitening is quick and easy and benefits even the most attractive smiles.

Perhaps cosmetic dental treatment is not your first priority. Maybe you have a more pressing dental need such as a cavity that is bothering you or swollen gums. Don’t let these problems get worse and possibly more expensive to treat.

Call 847.973.5050 to book a consultation at Dino Mantis DDS. We are located at 1625 Sheridan Rd, Wilmette or at 796 State Line Road in Calumet City.
