Teeth Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings – During your routine checkup or visit your dentist or hygienist will remove plaque and tarter on the surface of the tooth as well as above and below the gum line of the teeth. If it is very early in the diagnosis, your dentist may recommend cleanings more than twice a year.
Dental Sealants
Dental Sealants are a preventative measure against tooth decay. Many of times the sealants are placed on the back molars of permanent teeth and used to protect the chewing surfaces. Dental sealant application typically lasts for several years. It is important to remember that fluoride and dental sealants alone will not prevent tooth decay in your children. Brushing, flossing, and making sure your children eat a well-balanced nutritious diet and routine dental visits are all essential in long lasting healthy smiles.

Fillings
Bonding – gone are the days when teeth were restored using silver amalgam fillings. Thanks to dental bonding, tooth restoration is possible via composite resins as well. These not only provide sufficient strength to the teeth, but their shade can be exactly matched to your natural teeth. So you can smile without having the fear of showing “metallic teeth!”
Resin Composite
Veneers – a veneer is a thin shell like covering that is attached to the front surface of a tooth with the help of an adhesive cement. Veneers are used for aesthetic correction of deformities and to mask the effect of permanent teeth stains. Veneers are usually prepared from porcelains or restorative composite resins.
Veneers
With porcelain veneers, you’re receiving “state of the art” treatment and long lasting smile restoration. The lifespan of porcelain veneers can last 7-10 years or even longer with proper oral hygiene and care. The difference between composite and porcelain means an extra visit or two to the office, as a lab technician is responsible for the creation of the veneer. Initial visit(s) to our dental office consist of a consultation to make sure that veneers are the best course of action, and then possible imaging to make sure you are getting the look you want. The outer front of the tooth would then be prepped for impressions and the doctor would perform some shade matching. We then send the impressions off to the lab for fabrication. Your final visit to our office would then consist of fitting and securing the veneer in place.
Crowns
Metal-alloy crowns – these are typically a mix of gold blend with another metal such as silver, platinum, copper, palladium or tin.
Bridges
Forest Edge Dental has been replacing tooth decay and chipped teeth with dental crowns in Hoffman Estates, IL for over 11 years! Dental crowns are typically recommended when a tooth has decayed too badly on the outside to be replaced with a general filling. In the case of a crown, we would remove the outer surface (decayed or chipped area) and “cap” it with a fixed material. Materials used in crowns can vary from metal based caps to non-metal materials such as resins. Dental bridges are very similar to crowns in both material and procedure. The only difference being that a bridge is typically used to replace an entire tooth, either from tooth loss or decay that is beyond repair.
Dental Bonding
Did you bite down on something too hard and immediately acknowledge that you’ve done damage to one of your teeth? Perhaps you’re a great sportsman who had an accident in the hockey rink? Whatever the case may be, Forest Edge Dental has been repairing chipped teeth in Hoffman Estates for 11 years! We all know chipping a tooth can be painful or unsightly, but it can also lead to worse infections if not treated properly. And depending on the severity and pain of your chipped tooth, you may need to visit a dentist immediately. At Forest Edge Dental we strive to make your tooth restoration or dental bonding procedure as quick and painless as possible. There are a few things you can do immediately after chipping your tooth to alleviate pain and prevent further damage. Several different treatment options are also available for repairing your chipped tooth.

Root Canal Treatment
Most often patients are in need of a crown or replacement when tooth decay has destroyed most of the natural tooth. The crown provides protection for the remainder of the tooth and root structure. Doctors may also recommend the use of a crown after root canal therapy on posterior teeth. Using a crown in these circumstances will help solidify and protect the remaining tooth. Crowns can also be used as a cosmetic option to repair badly chipped and crack teeth or to close space between teeth. Dental crowns for cosmetic purposes are often less expensive than other alternatives.

Deep Cleaning
Scaling & root planing – A deep cleaning may be deemed necessary by your dentist both above and below the gum line. A local anesthetic is administered and plaque and tarter is scraped away from the teeth (scaling) and the teeth are smoothed over to prevent bacterial build-up (planing). This provides a nice smooth surface for the gums to reattach to.

Dentures
If you’re in need of partial, complete or “full” dentures in Hoffman Estates, then you are not alone. It has been reported by the

Dental Implants
While there certain factors that may play into how successful dental implant procedures may be, the overall success rate is extremely high and very safe. Patients with otherwise healthy gums and bone are great candidates for dental implants. Speaking with your dentist can help to determine the recommended course of action after a thorough consultation.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
A tooth extraction also known as tooth pulling or dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from the socket of the bone. The process of extracting, pulling or removing a tooth can be performed for multiple reasons. Typical reasons for tooth extractions are as follows...
Bone Grafting

Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign® starts with a visit to our office where we will take impressions of your teeth for creating a 3d model. Your teeth's moldings are then sent to a dental technician that will work with us to create a digital treatment plan. Our doctors will customize a full plan for each patient based their bite and corrective needs. The plan is then shipped to a lab where your entire course of aligners are custom fabricated to fit your precise moldings. These aligners are then shipped back to our office and the doctor will provide you with them upon your next visit. Each aligner would be worn for a course of about 2 weeks. You will then need to visit our offices roughly once every two months for check-ups.
Braces
What is the cost difference in comparison to traditional braces? - Cost is typically comparable to traditional braces, but again varies on a case by case basis. If a longer course is needed to correct the malocclusion, pricing can increase.

Teeth Whitening
Everybody wants a brighter and whiter smile these days and at Forest Edge Dental we are the teeth whitening specialists of Hoffman Estates. We make it fun, easy and affordable to achieve that gorgeous smile of your dreams. There are plenty of options when it comes to whitening or "bleaching" your teeth with modern dentistry techniques. Many patients prefer an in-office "power" bleach as these are the quickest way to whiter shades of teeth. We also offer "bleaching" trays which are custom fitted to your teeth and gum lines. Both of these methods will allow for a more sustainable white smile as opposed to over the counter options such as whitening toothpastes, strips, gels or rinses.

Behind their charming smiles and attractive appearance, a cosmetic dentist somewhere has spent countless hours in making them look beautiful! The good news is that with the help of cosmetic dentistry, you too can also get rid of your teeth stains and smile blemishes. You can achieve and enjoy a smile that you had always dreamed of!
