Zoom!® Teeth Whitening

Everyone deserves to have sparkling white teeth, but coffee, soft drinks, tea, and tobacco often stain and discolor our teeth enamel. We offer a wide range of whitening options, including Zoom!® teeth whitening, at our offices in Woodridge, near Naperville. These treatments can whiten and brighten your smile with ease.

Zoom!® teeth whitening is a popular in-office system that brightens teeth an average of eight shades in the time of a usual lunch break. Zoom!® teeth whitening at our Woodridge practice near Naperville is convenient, effective, and safe - many cosmetic dentists consider teeth whitening the safest cosmetic procedure in existence. The Zoom!® system works through a hydrogen peroxide gel that, when activated by a special lamp, dislodges stains without altering or damaging your tooth enamel.

Zoom!® teeth whitening is an excellent system because it creates little or no tooth sensitivity while giving you stunning cosmetic results that are sure to make you smile. The results of teeth whitening last the longest when good dental hygiene is maintained, tobacco, coffee, and other staining products are avoided, and you perform occasional touch-ups with professional whitening products like Nite White® or Zoom!® Weekender. Touch-up products like these are available through your dentist.

Zoom!® teeth whitening takes about an hour at Dr. Tom Machnowski’s office in Woodridge, near Naperville. It is best preceded by a cleaning, and most patients are able to comfortably relax while the Zoom!® teeth whitening gel takes effect. We take special care to educate patients in all aspects of the teeth whitening procedure, and we give patients custom-made whitening trays to use in maintaining their bright new smile.

Zoom!® is perfect for people on the go, who want instant results, or who prefer the safety of dentist-supervised teeth whitening. To find out more about teeth whitening, or to learn more about our promotional offers, please contact our office today.

Porcelain Veneers

Do you ever wish you could get a new set of teeth? Or that you could simply replace teeth that are chipped, stained, or otherwise troublesome or unsightly? If so, porcelain veneers may be the answer you have been looking for. At our Woodridge practice, near Naperville, Dr. Tom Machnowski can use porcelain veneers to take years off your smile or enhance its attractiveness.

Custom-crafted of stain-resistant, luminous porcelain, veneers slide over teeth, strongly bonding to them and permanently masking imperfections. Porcelain veneers preserve the tooth’s function while giving it a newfound beauty.

Depending on your needs, you may choose to have only a few porcelain veneers bonded to your teeth, or a whole set of six, eight, or more. Porcelain veneers are one of the most rewarding dental procedures because they give your mouth an instant facelift and are hassle-free to maintain. Veneers are designed to stay strong and beautiful for the rest of your life, while naturally repelling unsightly stains and requiring no special upkeep.

Porcelain veneers can also do double- or triple-duty: they can disguise stains, lengthen worn-down teeth, and disguise crookedness or chips, all at the same time. Or they can simply give your teeth a more uniform shape, or a newfound whiteness, increasing the impact of your smile.

Natural-looking and injury-resistant, porcelain veneers are an excellent alternative to crowns and other techniques to improve the look and contour of your teeth. As a highly experienced cosmetic dentist, Dr. Machnowski can counsel you on the best course of treatment once he examines your teeth and understands your individual situation.

Crowns

Also known as caps, crowns can provide a cosmetic solution to misshapen or discolored teeth, or can provide a needed structural boost to teeth that have been weakened by fractures, extensive fillings, decay, root canals, or the like.

Just like porcelain veneers, crowns are made of porcelain (or a combination of metal and porcelain) and fit snugly over teeth. However, unlike porcelain veneers, they strengthen and protect teeth that have been injured or weakened. Following a root canal, for example, teeth become brittle and prone to injury, and are often covered with a crown to prevent fracture. Crowns require more of the tooth to be removed compared to porcelain veneers, but can provide a welcome cosmetic solution for certain patients. Crowns can also provide support to bridges or partial dentures.

Bridges

Why put up with unsightly gaps in your smile? Bridges provide a cosmetic solution while correcting problems with speaking and chewing. Bridges take advantage of the healthy teeth on each side of the gap. An artificial tooth is crafted and bonded to the teeth on each side, bridging the gap in your smile and restoring the strength of your bite. Bridges are effectively permanent, though they can be removed by a dentist if needed.

As an alternative to bridges, we also offer dental implants. Dental implants are safely anchored in your jaw using a titanium post, and an artificial tooth is then placed on top.

If you have one or more missing teeth, don’t delay! Contact our Woodridge office to learn more about your options, so you can fill in your gap as soon as possible and avoid the hygiene difficulties, bone loss, and other dental concerns that come with missing teeth.

Dentures

If proper dental health is to be maintained, it is important to address missing teeth. Filling in missing teeth is also important in preserving your bite and cosmetic appearance, and preventing the sagging of facial tissues, the shifting of your remaining teeth, and problems when eating or speaking.

We offer both full and partial dentures. Each set of dentures is custom-crafted and more comfortable than patients generally expect. In some cases, a patient’s few remaining teeth will be extracted to make way for a set of full dentures; in other cases, partial dentures will attach to your teeth using precision attachments or metal clasps. Dental implants can also provide a solution to a small number of missing teeth. If you are missing just one tooth, we urge you to visit us to get an assessment of which treatment can best restore the health, beauty, and function of your smile.
