At Dental Smiles of West Chicago, we understand the importance of a confident smile. If you're considering orthodontic treatment to straighten your teeth and enhance your smile, you may be wondering which option is right for you: braces or Invisalign.

When you go to the dentist for a routine checkup or for an issue that needs attention, X-rays provide valuable information for him (or her) to diagnose and treat a variety of situations. X-rays allow dentists to detect issues that may not be visible to the naked eye, such as cavities, tooth decay and infections. Early detection prevents the progression of conditions that could lead to extensive and costly treatments.

Dental Smiles of West Chicago’s commitment to excellent care is evident in our patient-centered approach. We tailor treatment plans to meet individual needs and prioritize your comfort throughout your dental experience.

Are you a parent who must frequently remind your kids to brush their teeth at least twice a day? Or perhaps you aren’t as fastidious as you should be. Whichever the case, eschew brushing your teeth and at least one daily flossing leads to unpleasant results. 

We at the office of Dental Smiles of West Chicago welcome all of our patients with big smiles because we’re enthusiastic about helping them achieve their dental goals. We are skillful at everything, from routine cleanings to multifaceted procedures. 

At Dental Smiles of West Chicago, we’ve proudly served families from throughout the area by providing friendly, attentive care that always puts the needs of our patients first. We want our patients to be partners in our mission to achieve optimal oral health, so we encourage them to ask questions about what they expect of us, and what we’d like them to do to further this mission.

In that regard, we’ve put together a few questions and answers to some of the questions patients ask:

Halloween is becoming more popular every year, especially among children who get to dress up, carve pumpkins and enjoy haunted houses and hayrides. Of course, it’s also a holiday replete with tempting treats. Kids consume an average of 7,000 calories, or three cups of sugar, according to The Economic Times. 

Our friendly family dentist at Dental Smiles of West Chicago wants parents to know that there are strategies for letting your children enjoy the festivities while protecting them from tooth decay in the aftermath.

Your tongue is quite talented. This mighty muscle helps you chew, whistle, speak, wipe your lips and show your displeasure by sticking it out at someone. It can even indicate possible health issues. 

People who want excellent dental care come to the office of Dental Smiles of West Chicago. We know that our patients’ expectations are just as high as ours are. Our relaxed atmosphere and gentle touch complement our excellent service. 

In our increasingly complex world, some important things remain remarkably simple. Take water, for example — that vital fluid that makes up about 60 percent of our bodies. For all the advances in science, technology and gadgetry, there’s practically nothing as essential to our oral health as good old H2O. 

Our friendly dentist at Dental Smiles of West Chicago wants to remind our patients that no matter how many new beverages promise to make us stronger and healthier, nothing tops water when it comes to our teeth and gums. Why? Read on!

Does your face hurt or do your jaws ache when you wake up in the morning? If so, you may be suffering from a TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. 

At the office Dental Smiles of West Chicago, we employ sophisticated technology and advanced techniques to diagnose and treat TMJ problems. Don’t let facial discomfort and impaired jaw function continue to take a toll on your quality of life. We have a proven track record for successfully treating many patients, and we are confident we can do the same for you.
