If you’ve been dreaming of a more confident smile, you may be surprised how quickly you can make it happen. At Andrew J. Sampalis, DDS & Associates, you’ll find several smile improvements that can transform your appearance — often in just one or two visits. Whether you want to fix a small flaw or completely refresh your smile, these cosmetic services are designed for convenience, comfort, and impressive results.
If you’re ready for a new look, call us today at 708-576-4073 to schedule a free, no-hassle consultation. Your dentist will help you determine which treatments will give you the results you want. In the meantime, check out our overview of your options:
1. Dental Veneers
Veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They instantly conceal chips, stains, minor misalignment, or gaps. The process is quick — requiring as few as two appointments — and the results are long-lasting. Veneers are a great option when you want a dramatic improvement without the extensive removal of enamel required for a crown.
2. At-Home Professional Whitening
If dull or stained teeth are keeping your smile from shining, our at-home professional whitening kits can make a big difference. Unlike over-the-counter options, we can make whitening trays using impressions of your teeth. When these trays are used with professional-strength gel, you’ll have safer and more even results. You’ll typically see a noticeable improvement within a week of consistent use.
3. Tooth Bonding
Tooth bonding is one of the fastest cosmetic fixes available. Using a tooth-colored resin, your dentist can fill in chips, cover discoloration, close small gaps, or reshape a tooth in a single visit. Bonding is ideal for minor imperfections and offers a natural-looking result with little to no enamel removal.
4. Combine for a Bigger Impact
These smile improvements can be combined with each other — or with restorative treatments like crowns or tooth replacement — for a more complete smile makeover. Whether you’re replacing a missing tooth with an implant or covering a damaged tooth with a crown, adding cosmetic touches can help create a more balanced, beautiful final result.
Maintain Your Results
Once you’ve achieved the smile you want, it’s important to keep it looking its best. Regular exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining both your oral health and your cosmetic results. If you grind your teeth at night, we may also recommend a custom-made night guard to prevent wear and tear on your new smile.
