Dental Cleanings and Exams
One of the most important things you can do for your dental health is to have your teeth cleaning performed by a licensed professional. We assess not only the condition of your teeth, but we also look for and treat changes in your gum health. Problems such as gingivitis and periodontal disease, left untreated, weaken the supporting structures of your teeth and can lead to early tooth loss.
Our dental care providers will educate you on your current gum health, how to prevent diseases of the teeth and gums, and will recommend any necessary gum treatments to help you stay healthy.
During your exam, our doctors will do a thorough evaluation of your teeth clinically and advise you of their findings.
We also use digital radiography which reduces any chance of excess radiation and allows us to properly diagnose conditions.
White Fillings
Composite, otherwise known as bonding or tooth-colored fillings, is the material of choice to repair any cavities in your teeth, fix chipped or broken front teeth or even to give you a cost-effective smile makeover. This resin material comes in many shades, allowing us to find the perfect match for your smile. While not as durable as porcelain, “white fillings” have come a long way and with regular care, should last for many years.
Emergency Care
Our highly trained dentists and staff are available to treat your true dental emergency. Knowing that tooth pain (toothaches) are some of the worst pain people can experience, we make room for these situations. Emergency rooms typically do not treat dental emergencies, so it is best contact us first.
Botox
Our Lincoln Park team is highly trained and skilled at providing Botox for cosmetic (wrinkles) purposes, as well as for the muscular relief of TMJ/TMD.
For years Botox has helped so many men and women successfully treat wrinkles and facial creases. As people age, they long for a more youthful appearance. It’s a simple appointment and the effects last several months.
Additionally, for those who suffer the muscular jaw pain associated with TMJ/TMD in their jaw joints, the use of Botox has been highly successful in providing pain relief by relaxing those muscles.
Clear Aligner Orthodontics
Clear aligners, or invisible braces, are the newest and increasingly most popular choice for straightening teeth. The system uses clear, acrylic trays which have been custom designed for your mouth. They are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush and floss normally.
This type of treatment is great for people who had braces in the past which have relapsed and are they are now seeing crowding and shifting. If you have never had orthodontic treatment before, a simple in-office digital scan will let us know if you, too, are a candidate.

Dental Implants
Missing teeth are now easier than ever to replace with the use of dental implants. Many people fear the high cost of dental implants, but the truth is, they are now more affordable than ever.
When a tooth extraction is indicated, we can help you avoid gaping holes or dentures in just a few easy visits. Dental implant placement is typically not a painful procedure.
If you have had an implant placed elsewhere by an oral surgeon and need just the crown (cap) portion made for it, we are more than happy to assist you.
