Many of us know the feeling of being embarrassed of our smiles. It’s not ideal to go through life hiding behind your hands because you have a stained or cracked tooth. Thankfully, there is a solution that can help restore both your smile and your confidence. Dental veneers near Wilmette are wafer-thin shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. Veneers can easily change the color, shape, size or length of any given tooth. Read on if you’re interested in this procedure for your smile!

Candidates

Many people may benefit from dental veneers. Veneers can help close small gaps and fix chipped or broken teeth. If you have teeth that are worn down, uneven, misaligned or discolored for any reason, you can rely on dental veneers near Wilmette.

The Procedure

You can expect to visit our dentist about three separate times to complete the dental veneer process. Our dentists will consult with you and discuss your end goals. X-rays and impressions may also occur during this time. When it’s time for the procedure, one of our dentists will remove a small amount of tooth enamel to prepare your tooth. An impression will be made and sent to a lab that constructs your veneer. Finally, the bonding process will take place and the veneer will be cemented to your tooth.

Veneers last between 7-15 years. At this time, they will need to be replaced.

At Chicago Beautiful Smiles, we take pride in providing you with a wide variety of treatment options to achieve your ideal smile. Contact us to schedule an appointment!

Real Patient Reviews

I have been going to this practice for several years now. I seemingly never have to wait when I arrive at the office and they are all very professional. Dr. Hartlieb and Dr. Ching have been terrific. In addition to doing great dental work, each has a great rapport with their patients. All of their assistants have been top notch as well.

I recently met with Dr. Ching to have some dental work done, and had an exceptional experience at this office! I usually hate going to the dentist, but this experience was different–this office is hands-down, THE nicest dental facilitiy I have ever seen.

- Shaun F.

This dental office is something I haven’t seen before. I had many past dental experiences at other dental offices (unfortunately not good) and finally I found Chicago Beautiful Smiles. Dr. Hartlieb had helped me restore my teeth to a beautiful smile.

- Natasa R.

I am a loyal patient for over (yikes!) 20 years because I appreciate the time, skill and patience of the entire team. As proof of my gratitude, I live in the city and reverse commute every six months for my appointment.

- Dennis H.

Dr. Hartlieb is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. He has transformed my smile into something of beauty. In fact, many people comment on how beautiful my teeth are who do not even know that I have had major dental work performed. I used to never want to smile that large before, but now I smile as big as possible when photographed.

- Fran L.

I always have a great experience when I go to Chicago Beautiful Smiles. The staff is amazing and Dr. Hartlieb and Dr. Ching are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The facility is incredible and I feel like I’m being treated with the best technology in the dental industry. Go to Chicago Beautiful Smiles for a consultation and I guarantee you will go back time and time again. It does not get any better in the Chicago area.

- Antonio S.

I had a great experience with Dr. Ching – very professional and thorough in his craft. I had been seeing my previous dentist for the past 15 years; however, I am ready to make the permanent switch to Chicago Beautiful Smiles. Dr. Ching is great at explaining the procedures he was performing and made my visit comfortable.
