Veneers, whitening, bonding, and crowns planned around your goals by a caring team in Evergreen Park.
A chipped front tooth, a stain that brushing never lifts, or a gap you hide in every photo can make you hold back your smile. Cosmetic dentistry offers several ways to change the color, shape, and look of your teeth. The right choice depends on your goals and the health of your mouth.
Dental Group of Evergreen Park is an office of Dental Group of Chicago on South Pulaski Road, right at the Oak Lawn border. As a dentist in Evergreen Park, our team offers veneers, whitening, bonding, crowns, bridges, and inlays and onlays under one roof. We also care for neighbors from Oak Lawn, Beverly, and Mount Greenwood.
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments that improve how your teeth look, and many of them also restore strength and function. A small chip may only need bonding, while a cracked or heavily filled tooth may do better with a crown. Our dentists start by asking what bothers you about your smile, then check whether your teeth and gums are healthy enough for the work you have in mind.
Veneers are a popular choice, and they deserve careful thought. According to the ADA’s MouthHealthy guide to veneers, veneers cover only the front surface of a tooth, and the treatment is not reversible because some enamel is removed. The ADA also notes that existing decay or gum disease should be treated first. That is why we look at your whole mouth before suggesting any cosmetic plan.

These cosmetic treatments can be used alone or combined into one plan. These are the options our team discusses most often.
If your teeth are crooked rather than damaged, Invisalign in Evergreen Park may straighten them without brackets. For missing teeth, we may also talk about dental implants in Evergreen Park as a longer-term option.
Cosmetic care at our office starts with a relaxed conversation about your goals. From there, we follow a few simple steps so you know what to expect.
Tell us what you notice when you smile in the mirror, whether it is color, chips, gaps, or worn edges.
Next, we examine your teeth and gums and take digital X-rays, which use lower radiation than film. An intraoral camera shows your own teeth on screen, so you can follow along as we point out what we see.
We explain which treatments make sense for your teeth, how many visits each one usually takes, and what it may cost. You can ask questions and take time to decide before anything begins.
Cosmetic results tend to last longer when the teeth and gums around them stay healthy. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up with regular cleanings so stains and plaque do not build up around veneers, crowns, or bonding. If you grind your teeth at night, a custom nightguard can help protect your new work.
Healthy gums also frame your smile. Swollen or receding gums can change how even a beautiful restoration looks, so we may suggest periodontal care in Evergreen Park before cosmetic treatment begins. Whitening does not change the color of crowns, veneers, or bonding, so we often plan whitening first and then match new work to your brighter shade.
Dental plans often do not cover treatment done only for appearance, though coverage may apply when a crown, bridge, or onlay is needed to restore function. Our team reviews your dental benefits with you before treatment and explains costs up front, so you know what to expect before you commit to a plan.
If you are new to our office and do not have insurance, our $99 new-patient visit includes an initial cleaning, a comprehensive exam, and a full set of digital X-rays. Financing options and payment plans can help spread out the cost of larger cosmetic work. Our dental insurance and financing details explain how payment works.

Cost depends on the treatment you choose and how many teeth are involved. Our team reviews your benefits and explains costs up front before any work begins, and financing options are available.
Dental plans often do not cover treatment done only for appearance. Some coverage may apply when a crown, bridge, or onlay restores function, and we review your benefits with you before treatment.
Veneer treatment is not reversible, because a thin layer of enamel is removed so the veneer can sit naturally. Veneers may need to be replaced over time, so we talk through that before you decide.
Whitening can brighten healthy natural teeth, while veneers can also cover chips, gaps, and uneven shapes. After an exam, our dentists can explain which option fits your goals.
Whitening does not change the color of crowns, veneers, bonding, or tooth-colored fillings. We can plan whitening first and then match any new work to your brighter shade.
Bonding can last for years with good care, though the resin may stain or chip over time. Avoiding hard objects like ice and keeping regular cleanings can help it last.
