Teeth Whitening At Oak Park Dental Group, we have offered teeth bleaching methods for more than 15 years. We currently feature the ZOOM whitening system—the most advanced whitening system on the market today. Clinical studies have shown that no other whitening system can get teeth whiter—as much as 12 shades lighter in just one hour. In addition to in-office procedures, we also offer the ZOOM “Weekender” which achieves the same, astonishing results. Our doctors can discuss the option that is best for you.
Oral Surgery Unlike other general dentistry practices, Oak Park Dental Group has an on-staff oral surgeon. Dr. Eli Horowitz is available for consultations to discuss any concerns and questions patients might have and has extensive experience with complex procedures and general anesthesia.
General Dentistry At Oak Park Dental Group, we keep our practice ahead of the curve. Each year we add new products and procedures that raise the level to which we can meet patients’ needs. Our general dentists keep abreast of new concepts and ideas with ongoing continuing education, national and international conferences, and study group sessions. On a daily basis, the group structure of our office facilitates case-by-case consultations and discussions between staff members to make sure that the best care is given to each patient’s unique situation.
Orthodontics While our practice continues to offer orthodontic services to children, the percentage of adult patients who seek out solutions to perfect their smile has increased year after year. After all, first impressions are lasting impressions and it’s never too late to improve your smile. As always, our board-certified orthodontist can provide a free consultation to discuss the things you wish you had done as a kid. Many options, including “invisible” braces, are available.
Periodontics The health of the oral tissues, especially the gums, often goes without proper care and maintenance. Medical research now indicates that gum disease not only affects the teeth, but also factors into our overall health and longevity. A basic cleaning is the first line of defense against gum disease, however, in more advanced cases, our periodontal specialist has the knowledge to properly diagnose and correct present problems to return patients to good oral health.
Implants Years ago, tooth loss was a final state. Today, dental implants offer the opportunity to reclaim lost function with bionic tooth roots that act in the same way as natural teeth. No matter how many teeth you have lost, dental implants can effectively improve your overall quality of life.
Cosmetic Dentistry Today, it seems that every dental practice promotes cosmetic dental procedures. However, the magic seen on television requires amazing skill, attention to detail, and artistic sensibility. Our doctors have offered these procedures since before the current dental fad and continue to meet the highest expectations—as seen in our many happy patients.
Pediatric And Adult Children who are comfortable with their dentist become enthusiastic about their oral health throughout their lives. At Oak Park Dental Group, we know how important it is to create positive, dental experiences for patients of any age, and we are particularly sensitive to the needs of children.
Solutions for Dental Anxiety Anxiety about dental procedures is common. However, don’t let your apprehension prevent you from having the good oral health that you want. At Oak Park Dental Group, we have solutions for all levels of anxiety. From “twilight sleep” to full, general anesthesia—you no longer have to dread going to the dentist.
100% Handicap Accessible The layout of our office follows the guidelines of the American’s for Disabilities Act to create a barrier-free environment for all handicapped patients. |
