Cosmetic Dentistry ABC’s

History TeacherYou won’t hear Libertyville cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brent Engelberg, claiming that cosmetic dental procedures are as easy as “ABC.” However, with extensive training and many years of experience, high quality work is in your future when you entrust your smile with Dr. Engelberg. There are many potential procedures in the cosmetic field, but we’re going to highlight some common ABC’s of cosmetic dentistry.

A is for Alignment

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic system that allows you to attain straight teeth in a nearly invisible way. Invisalign is a great choice for self-conscious teenagers as well as adults that don’t want a work place distraction from metal braces on their teeth. Invisalign clear alignment trays are changed every two weeks, and customized for your alignment issues.

B is for Bonding

Composite resin is a pliable substance that is hardened with a curing light. Because of this change in viscosity, resin makes a perfect tool in the arsenal of cosmetic dentists. Fine lines, cracks, and chips are common reasons for a bonding procedure. The process is fairly quick and requires little tooth preparation. Composite resin is dyed to match the color of your surrounding teeth, blending in flawlessly to cover over pesky flaws that incite unhappiness with the way your smile appears.

C is for Crowns

Dental crowns have been a part of history for a very long time. The materials have transitioned over the years. Experimentation with metal, porcelain, and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) have all had varying success rates. Part of the key is finding a dentist that is as passionate about providing patients with natural looking customized crowns as an artist is about a sculpture. Pressed porcelain is Dr. Engelberg’s material of choice when it comes to crown fabrication that is both aesthetically pleasing and strong. Dr. Engelberg implements the state-of-the-art ShadeVision ® system, allowing him to fit patients with dental crowns that flawlessly match their natural teeth
