Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Bonding is more conservative than crowns or veneers and can produce a long-lasting esthetic result. However, composites can stain and break easier than other cosmetic treatments. Please speak to our team to see which treatment is best for your needs.
• Crowns
  Dental crowns are best described as a cap that completely covers a damaged tooth. Each of our crowns are uniquely made to match the color of your teeth, providing you with a natural look - for the gold connoisseur, we can even make molar and premolar crowns out of gold!
• Bridges
  Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth - they are connected to your natural teeth to replace the missing tooth, and to prevent the shifting of your remaining teeth.
• Dental Bonding
  Our doctors hold the belief that all of dentistry should be both cosmetic and functional. Cosmetic bonding is a conservative way to repair chipped, discolored, spaced or crooked teeth. Bonding takes advantage of the micro-chemical bond of composites to the natural enamel of tooth structure leading to a seamless transition between natural tooth and composite filling material.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  A tooth consists of 3 main layers. The outer layer, enamel, a middle layer, dentin and an inner layer called the pulp. The pulp chamber is where the blood vessels and nerves of your tooth reside. Smaller cavities generally stay confined to the enamel or dentin and can be filled as usual. However, when a cavity gets big enough to reach the pulp, or nerve of your tooth, it can cause the pulp to either become inflamed or infected. These teeth may require root canal therapy in order to be saved.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Millions of people struggle daily with loose or ill-fitting dentures and suffer the embarrassment of eating and smiling in public. With dental implants, you now no longer have to avoid the foods you love, or suffer embarrassing moments in public when your dentures come loose and you run to grab the glue.

• Oral Surgery
• Maxillofacial Surgery
  Dr. Peterson graduated with a degree in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery from Northwestern University Dental School. He furthered his training and education through a program focused in Anesthesiology, and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Cook County Hospital College of Surgery.
• Tooth Extractions
  Due to the evolutionary pattern of human jaw size, wisdom teeth, or third molars, tend to erupt in misalignment or are submerged into the jawbone. Even hygiene conscious patients generally have a difficult time keeping these teeth free of dental plaque and calculus. For this reason, wisdom teeth are usually extracted prior to causing long lasting dental problems. These teeth are typically removed during the late teens or early twenties for a more predictable and effective healing outcome although they can be removed at any stage in life.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  Orthodontics are an excellent way to straighten your teeth! While they are used to straighten teeth for an enhanced smile, they also help restore functionality to teeth, as well as your jaw and bite.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Invisalign is an excellent way to straighten your teeth! While they are used to straighten teeth for an enhanced smile, they also help restore functionality to teeth, as well as your jaw and bite.
• Braces
  These are the superior choice for adults as they are clear in color, removable, and work as effectively as traditional metal braces. Because they are removable, they are also much easier to manage than traditional braces in terms of maintenance, brushing, and flossing.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  Whitening is a very attractive procedure to many patients who wish to improve the esthetics of their smile. The in-office whitening procedure generally takes about 30-60 minutes and involves applying a bleaching agent to the front surfaces of your teeth. Patients can expect to whiten their teeth about 2-3 shades depending on the concentration of the bleaching agent that is applied. If you are interested in bleaching, it should be done around 1-2 weeks prior to completing any fillings that you may require as whitening only affects natural tooth structure and does not impact the shade of any fillings that you may have.
• Cosmetic Dentistry
  In turn, a nice smile can also give you the confidence you need to succeed. Cosmetic dentistry will make you want to smile more.
• General Dentistry
  Our practice provides general dentistry procedures including the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide variety of conditions and diseases that affect your teeth and gums.
