Our Range of Cosmetic Dental Services
Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a range of treatments designed to enhance the beauty of your smile. At North Dental Professionals, our cosmetic dental services include:
Our experienced dentists will collaborate with you to select the most suitable cosmetic dental treatments based on your specific needs and desires. This personalized approach ensures that your treatment plan aligns with your smile goals, contributing to increased self-esteem and the confidence to smile brightly.
Bonding
Dental bonding is a quick and easy way to improve the look of your teeth. Dr. Chaiken uses a tooth-colored resin material to repair chips, cracks, small gaps, or uneven edges. The resin is carefully shaped and polished so it blends in perfectly with your natural teeth. You can get bonding in one dental visit.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern way to straighten your teeth without the need for metal braces. This treatment uses clear, removable aligners that gently move your teeth into the right position over time. Invisalign is great for teens and adults who want a more comfortable and nearly invisible option for improving their smile. You can remove the aligners to eat, brush, and floss, making them a convenient and flexible choice.
Teeth Whitening
One of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments is teeth whitening. At North Dental Professionals, we offer both in-office whitening and take-home whitening kits. In-office whitening provides immediate results with a professional-grade bleaching agent applied by Dr. Chaiken. For those who prefer convenience, take-home kits allow you to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home at your own pace.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front of your teeth. They’re a great way to fix teeth that are chipped, stained, misshapen, or have small gaps. During the procedure, Dr. Chaiken removes a small layer of enamel, takes an impression, and then places the veneer once it’s ready. Veneers look very natural and can give you a brighter, more even smile that lasts for many years.

Modern Dental Technology
We know that the tools a dentist uses can make a big difference. That’s why we use the most up-to-date dental technology in our office. For example, we use an optical scanner to take digital impressions when we plan treatments like veneers or Invisalign. Digital scans are more comfortable than old-fashioned molds and gives us detailed images of your teeth for precise results.
We also use intraoral cameras. These small cameras let us look closely at your teeth and gums. The cameras help us spot damage, decay, or cosmetic flaws that may not be easy to see with the naked eye. With these clear images, we can explain any issues to you and show you exactly what needs to be done.
At North Dental Professionals, your comfort and satisfaction matter to us. Whether you want a brighter smile, straighter teeth, or a full smile makeover, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. When you choose us, you can trust you’re in experienced and caring hands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you want to know more? We can help. Learn more with answers to common questions about cosmetic dentistry in our Chicago office.
What is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment?
Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment. Many people want a brighter smile, and whitening is a quick and simple way to remove stains from coffee, tea, soda, or smoking. Because our whitening options are safe, effective, and affordable, teeth whitening is one of the top choices for patients interested in cosmetic treatment.
How soon will I see results from cosmetic dentistry?
This depends on the treatment. You can get results in just one day with professional teeth whitening treatment. Bonding and veneers have similar treatments, but it takes less time to get bonding. You can complete bonding treatment in one visit, while it can take two visits to get veneers.
Invisalign takes the longest, but your treatment time will vary based on your needs. Some patients can complete Invisalign within 6 months, and others can take several years.
How long does cosmetic dentistry last?
The results of cosmetic dentistry can last for years, but it depends on the treatment and how well you care for your teeth. Veneers are very durable and can last 10 to 15 years with good brushing and regular dental visits. Bonding is less long-lasting, usually around 3 to 7 years, but it can be touched up or replaced.
Invisalign straightens your teeth permanently, though you’ll need to wear retainers to keep your smile in place. Professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile for several months to a few years, but touch-up treatments may be needed.
Does it hurt to get cosmetic dental treatments?
Most cosmetic dental treatments cause little to no pain. Veneers and bonding usually require only a small amount of tooth preparation, and your dentist can numb the area to keep you comfortable. Invisalign uses clear aligners that may cause mild pressure at first, but this usually fades as your teeth adjust. Professional teeth whitening may cause temporary sensitivity, but it doesn’t damage your teeth. These treatments are designed to be safe, gentle, and comfortable.
Can cosmetic dentistry improve my oral health?
Yes. Treatments like bonding, veneers, or crowns can protect and strengthen damaged teeth. Invisalign can straighten your teeth for a healthier bite. A properly aligned bite makes it easier to brush and floss, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease. So, while cosmetic dentistry focuses on appearance, it can also help keep your teeth and gums healthier in the long run.
Is cosmetic dentistry for everyone?
Cosmetic dentistry can be a great option for many people, but it depends on your age and overall health. Teens and adults who have healthy teeth and gums are often good candidates for cosmetic treatments. We won’t recommend most cosmetic dentistry treatments for children because their mouths are still developing.
Our office also needs to treat problems like cavities, gum disease, or bite issues first. We’ll carefully evaluate your teeth and gums to recommend the best options for you.
What cosmetic dental treatments can children get?
Children can have certain cosmetic dental treatments, but they are usually more limited than adults. Common options include dental bonding, which can fix small chips or gaps in teeth. Braces or Invisalign are also considered cosmetic because they straighten teeth and improve the smile, while also helping with oral health. We only recommend more advanced treatments, like veneers for adults, once the teeth and jaw have fully developed.
Can I get a smile makeover?
Yes! If you have several cosmetic concerns, you may be a good candidate for a smile makeover. A smile makeover combines different cosmetic treatments to improve the look of your teeth and gums. For example, if your teeth are crooked and stained, Invisalign can be used to straighten them, while professional teeth whitening can brighten their color. Other treatments like veneers or bonding may also be added to repair chips, close gaps, or reshape teeth. Every smile makeover is customized to fit your needs and goals.
