It's important to bring your child to see the dentist once every six months. Their six month checkup appointment allows us to examine their teeth and provide them with a dental cleaning.

Keeping your teeth healthy and clean requires more than diligent brushing and flossing at home. In many cases, plaque will build upon different areas of the teeth, hardening into a chalky white substance known as tartar.

At Smile Design Studio of Hyde Park, we understand that dental emergencies can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time. Whether you're experiencing a throbbing toothache, a sudden dental injury, or any other unexpected oral issue causing pain or discomfort, we're here to help.

A dental filling is a restoration that is specifically used to fill in an area of one or more teeth that have become decayed. Dental decay, known as a cavity, can infiltrate a tooth and cause it to become weak. Over time, the decay essentially eats into the tooth to reach the inner pulp.

Sealants are thin, clear protective coverings that can be applied to the back teeth. They are meant to prevent cavities and deep staining that would otherwise occur if they weren't in place. The beauty about sealants is that they're ideal both for pediatric patients as well as adult patients alike.

A dental x-ray is an image that enables us to see underneath the surface of teeth and gums. These images can help us to see decay, infections, impacted teeth, bone loss and many other oral-related problems. X-rays use a very minimal amount of radiation, so they are safe for patients of all ages.

The iTero digital scanning device can be used to take highly-detailed images and scans of your teeth. These digital-based impressions can be used to create restorations like veneers, crowns, bridge work and even dentures.

While visiting your dentist regularly is essential in order to maintain oral health, it is equally important to maintain a healthy routine in-between dental appointments. The Rotadent® ProCare Professional Rotary Toothbrush is an effective one-step solution for optimal oral hygiene at home.

Fluoride is most commonly found in dental products, like toothpastes and mouthwashes. It is designed to protect and strengthen a person's teeth, making them less prone to developing cavities.

General dental procedures are specific to correcting the functioning of your teeth while helping improve cosmetic problems. General dentistry is ideal for both adult and pediatric patients.

Periodontal therapy is a specialized dental treatment focused on combating gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis. At Smile Design Studio of Hyde Park, we're committed to providing leading-edge periodontal services to our patients in Chicago, helping to restore your oral health and protect your beautiful smile.

Tekscan bite adjustment, also known as T-Scan, is a cutting-edge technology used in dentistry to analyze and optimize a patient's bite. It is a precise and efficient method that allows dental professionals to identify and address bite discrepancies or occlusal imbalances.

Extractions are done as a way to preserve your oral health and remove problematic teeth. In some cases, you may need to have teeth removed because of advanced gum disease. In other cases, you'll need an extraction because you have an impacted wisdom tooth.
