Special moments are often highlighted by a genuine smile. Whether it’s a graduation,  wedding, anniversary, important birthday, or family reunion, or another of life’s major milestones, the experiences are accompanied by a great smile. But if you are self-conscious about your teeth, you may be looking for a better smile. Dr. Gibbs offers numerous cosmetic dental procedures that can help improve and transform your smile. Here are five cosmetic treatments and how they help give you a new smile design.

 Get a Better Smile with Dental Implants

Dental implants are one of the most popular and practical tooth replacement options. They are surgically implanted into the jawbone, so they are sturdy and feel like your natural teeth. Implants are so natural-looking that others will not be able to tell you have dental implants. They blend naturally into your smile design, restoring aesthetics and function at the same time.

 Make Veneers Part of Your Smile Design

Veneers are one of the simplest cosmetic dental procedures, but they have a dramatic effect on your smile and appearance. Dental veneers are very thin shells that add a layer to the surface of your teeth. They are used to conceal flaws, improve your teeth’s appearance, and even out uneven teeth. A little bit of the front of the tooth must be reduced for veneers to be placed. They look natural and greatly improve your smile’s appearance. Porcelain veneers are the most popular choice.

 Let Dr. Gibbs Transform your Smile with Lumineers

Dental Lumineers are one type of veneer. They are much thinner than porcelain veneers and the teeth don’t have to be reduced before they are placed. Lumineers are popular with patients who don’t like the idea of having their natural teeth reduced and with those who prefer a material option other than porcelain.

 Teeth Whitening in Glen Ellyn Can Transform Your Smile

If you want a better smile fast, schedule an appointment with Dr. Jessica Gibbs to have your teeth whitened. Your teeth stain easily when exposed to things like soda, tea, and coffee every day. If you are looking for a low-cost way to improve your smile, teeth whitening is the way to go. Just one trip to your Glen Ellyn dentist will help make over and improve your smile.  

 Check Out Ceramic Crowns at Your Glen Ellyn Dentist

If your teeth are stained, cracked, or discolored, dental crowns are a great way to give your smile a makeover. Crowns are a non-surgical procedure. A small cap or crown is placed over the damaged or discolored tooth. This helps give you a better smile by improving the appearance of the tooth. But it also makes the tooth stronger and prevents further damage. They fit comfortably and are a long-lasting treatment option that helps your teeth look and feel better.

 Ready for a Better Smile?

If you are ready for a new smile design, any of these five cosmetic dental treatments can help give you a whole new smile. If you are not sure which option is right for you, or which one will be best for improving your teeth’s appearance, please contact us to schedule an exam with Dr. Jessica Gibbs. She can recommend treatment based on your teeth’s appearance. Let us help you get the smile you desire!

Cosmetic dentistry is responsible for improving millions of smiles around the globe. It can truly be a life-altering experience for those who are missing teeth or need to have teeth pulled. There are many different treatment options available, and thanks to advancements in technology, they are more easily accessible and convenient. Cosmetic dentures are one of the latest in cosmetic dental procedures.

What are cosmetic dentures?

When you think of dentures, it may conjure up an image of old-school false teeth. With the recent advancements in dental technology, many people are choosing implants. However, some still prefer dentures. They restore your ability to eat naturally while enhancing your smile. The latest technology makes it possible for dentists to create a natural-looking partial or full denture that gives you the smile you always wanted.

Top 5 Benefits of Cosmetic Dentures

Gives Your Appearance a “Lift”

For those who lose their teeth, the cheeks and jaws can begin to sag. We use advanced equipment to construct cosmetic dentures. The use of precise measurements helps construct a denture that fits accurately and comfortably. These measurements are used to create the perfect arrangement of teeth to fit your face. It’s like giving your entire facial appearance a lift.

Boosts Your Self-Esteem

Some people are embarrassed about their smiles. Cosmetic dentures fix your smile making you feel more confident and happier. You will feel better about yourself when you look in the mirror. You may find you are more excited about attending social events.

More Stable than Traditional Dentures

Traditional dentures are known to move around while eating, speaking, or laughing. Thanks to the latest technology, you get a better fit. Cosmetic dentures provide better stability and fit. For some patients, titanium rods are implanted surgically along the jaw. These posts can secure partial dentures or a full set.

Ability to Customize

At Dr. Gibbs’ office, we can customize your cosmetic dentures. This gives you the option of a more natural look. You can have a whiter smile. Maybe you’d like your teeth to appear longer, or you’d like more or fewer gums showing. They are constructed to give you a more beautiful smile, the smile you’ve always wanted.

More Natural Look

One of the most popular things about cosmetic dentures is that they are not as noticeable as traditional dentures. They are crafted to have the same luminosity and opalescence as your natural teeth. You’ll have a smile that feels and looks natural. Most people will not even know you are wearing them unless you choose to tell them.

Different Types of Cosmetic Dentures

There are three basic types of cosmetic dentures. During your visit to Dr. Gibb’s office, discuss which option is best suited for you and your situation. He will make his recommendation and help you choose.

  1.  Full Cosmetic Dentures. A full cosmetic denture allows you to eat and speak with confidence. They fill out your cheeks and lips naturally. 
  2. Partial Cosmetic Dentures. A partial is used to fill in a gap created by one or more missing teeth. Unlike a dental bridge, they do not require surrounding teeth to be altered. Partials are either removable or secured using dental implants. 
  3. Implant-Supported Dentures. These dentures are attached to dental implants using titanium screws that provide a root to support the teeth. This type is the most stable and just four implants can support all the teeth.

Dental Implants might just be your new best friend! Why? If you have been faced with some challenging dental health issues in the past or are currently, you may want to consider this procedure. This American Dental Association-approved procedure is not only safe, but very cost-effective and long-term. Dr. Thomas Gibbs wants to help you get on the path to a healthier, more beautiful smile.

Tooth decay, loss and ill-fitting dentures are all potential causes for bone loss in the jaw, wrinkles around the mouth area, and bad breath. Dental health is very important and that’s why we want to provide you with options.

Dental Implants

What are they? They’re small metal parts that are surgically placed where your old tooth’s root once was. A new implant will then go right on top of that metal part and voila – you have a natural-looking brand-new smile you can feel confident about.

Smile Glen Ellyn can answer any questions you may have about this procedure.

Cost-Effective

Not only will you receive a thorough consultation about a solid treatment plan with payment options, but you will be supported by your Glen Ellyn, IL dentist from point A to point B throughout the process.

Our mouths are one of the very first things people see when they look at you. We want you to feel good about your smile, so do come in if you’re considering dental implants.

A radiant smile is something that we all desire. It has the ability to make us feel more attractive and boost our confidence. Sometimes though, our smile needs a little help. Professional tooth whitening is a procedure that can restore a smile to its better days. It’s a safe and effective alternative to OTC treatments.

Professional Advantage

OTC methods may be convenient, but they lack the effectiveness and customized approach provided by a professional tooth whitening treatment. They use generic tooth molds that aren’t customized to fit the individual patient, resulting in inconsistent application of the whitening gel. A professional tooth whitening procedure, however, is designed with you in mind and delivers results that are superior to an OTC method.

Dr. Thomas Gibbs of Smile Glen Ellyn understands the value that a professional tooth whitening procedure can provide for our patients. This method has the ability to safely and effectively remove tough stains from your teeth and reveal your bright white smile again. Our entire Glen Ellyn team loves to see patients get their best smiles back through the use of safe and effective dental procedures.

Affordable and Effective

Professional tooth whitening is quick and can often be done in around an hour. You even have the option of performing this procedure in the comfort of your own home! Regardless of the method favored, professional tooth whitening is very affordable and cost-effective. A visit to Smile Glen Ellyn will deliver results in as little as an hour, and the at-home treatment will continue to brighten your teeth at your own pace. It’s truly a win-win.

Trust your smile to a dentist that knows how to safely and effectively restore your pearly whites. Schedule your appointment today with Dr. Gibbs, and he’ll help you uncover your bright smile!
