Cosmetic Dentistry Before and After
2
If youre dissatisfied with any aspect of your
smile, you may be considering a cosmetic
dentistry procedure at Oak Brook Smiles. Dr. Omar
Haque understands that patients want to know how
their smile will appear after completing one or
more of these elective procedures.

That is why he includes cosmetic dentistry before
and after photos in every consultation session.
These pictures are of former patients who have
allowed our dental clinic to take a snapshot
immediately before and after a specific cosmetic
enhancement.

Which Cosmetic Dentistry Option is Right for You?

Depending on your specific dental issues, more
than one cosmetic dentistry procedure may be
appropriate for you. Dr. Haque will discuss the
following options during your consultation
6
1. Bone Grafting In order to receive dental
implants, a permanent alternative to removable
dentures, the bone surrounding the area to
receive the implants needs to be strong enough to
hold it firmly in place. When bone structure is
too weak, Dr. Haque removes it from another area
of your mouth and transfers it so he can proceed
with the dental implant.

2. Porcelain Crowns/Caps Porcelain crowns or
caps are an ideal option for concealing deep
cracks or other imperfections in a tooth. A crown
or cap is also a good treatment option when a
tooth has a large area of decay that is not
treatable with a typical dental filling. Dr.
Haque places it over the entire chewing surface
of the tooth to protect it from further damage.

3. Porcelain Fixed Bridges A dental bridge,
which anchors to surrounding teeth for support,
replaces two or more consecutive missing teeth.
Dr. Haque performs this procedure for cosmetic
reasons as well as to restore oral health. When
tooth loss is untreated, the teeth remaining in
your mouth start to shift. This can lead to
additional tooth loss and dental pain as well as
increase the likelihood of serious diseases
linked to oral health problems.

4. Porcelain Veneers A veneer is most
appropriate for minor cosmetic enhancements. It
is made from ceramic and extremely thin, making
it easy to place over a crack, gap, or
discoloration. Dr. Haque needs to remove a tiny
amount of enamel from your tooth prior to placing
the veneer to make sure that it doesnt protrude
further than the other teeth.

5. Teeth Whitening Professional teeth whitening
can help you improve the appearance of your smile
by as much as 10 shades. This procedure may be
right for you if you have yellow or brown stained
teeth that make you feel self-conscious of your
smile. Oak Brook Smiles offers both an in-office
and at-home option. We encourage you to contact
us to learn more about each of the above dental
procedures as well as to view cosmetic dentistry
before and after photos.
