Veneers
Veneers are a great way to give yourself a comprehensive smile makeover! These ultra-thin shells of high-quality dental porcelain can be painstakingly designed to correct misshapen dental structure, dark stains, noticeable gaps, and other flaws all at once, fitting into place seamlessly over your natural teeth. With proper care and maintenance, they can also last for over a decade.
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
Certain imperfections can only be addressed with dedicated restorations designed to look identical to natural enamel. That’s why we use Filtek Supreme and Spectra crowns, two metal-free options ideal for keeping teeth looking lifelike, despite developing chips or cracks. We design our crowns with the help of our digital impression scanner, making the results more accurate and consistent and the process more pleasant for patients.
Zoom! Teeth Whitening
Stains can develop on teeth after consuming highly pigmented foods and beverages, making them turn yellow. However, tooth enamel can also dull over time as a natural result of aging, making it more difficult to show off your smile with confidence. With in-practice whitening, you can make your smile multiple shades brighter in just one hour. If you prefer to whiten teeth on your own time, our take-home whitening option makes the process more convenient and utilizes professional-grade bleaching ingredients to get the job done.

Virtual Smile Design
If you’ve ever wanted to see what your smile looked like before you completed your cosmetic dentistry treatment, virtual smile design is the perfect way to do so! All we need is an updated photo of your smile, which will then be uploaded to our computer and into our software. From there, we can simulate what your smile can look like following whitening, placement of restorations, and much more! You can even take the altered photo home with you to help you think over your future treatments.
Understanding the Cost of Cosmetic Dentistry
Many patients worry about the cost of cosmetic dentistry, especially since most dental insurance plans don’t cover elective treatments. However, at Washington Dental Care West Loop, we believe that a beautiful smile should be accessible to everyone. Whether you’re looking for a small improvement or a full smile makeover, we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that fits both your goals and your budget.

What Cosmetic Dental Service is Right for Me?
Choosing the right cosmetic dental treatment depends entirely on the vision you have for your smile. Do you want it to be brighter? Straightened? More complete? Our Chicago office offers many procedures that can be tailored to fit your needs, such as:
- Teeth Whitening: Our Zoom! professional whitening system is a quick and effective way to brighten your teeth by several shades, removing years of discoloration.
- Metal-Free Restorations: Crowns, bridges, or fillings can be made from tooth-colored materials, so they don’t stand out in your smile.
- Dental Veneers: These are thin porcelain shells that cover imperfections like chips, discoloration, or gaps all at once! Dental veneers create a flawless, natural-looking smile without the need for multiple different procedures.
- Dental Implants: Missing teeth can also affect your appearance. Dental implants can replace lost teeth and preserve your jawbone, improving the look, feel, and function of your smile.
- Invisalign: If your teeth are crooked; or if you have a bite alignment issue, Invisalign can straighten your teeth discreetly and enhance the appearance of your grin.
If you need some guidance, our team will guide you through your options and recommend treatments based on your goals. We want to help you achieve the smile of your dreams in the most cost-effective way possible.

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Safe?
Many of our cosmetic dentistry options are minimally invasive, making them quite safe and low-risk. Your dentists in Chicago are also trained in these treatments, so you can rest assured that you’ll be receiving care from a qualified professional.
That said, not every dental cosmetic is right for everyone. Before proceeding with your treatment, we’ll thoroughly examine your mouth and review your health history to make sure we give you effective recommendations. For example, if you have an existing case of gum disease or cavities, we’ll recommend taking care of that first – otherwise, the infection could compromise your smile results.
How Do I Know If I Need Cosmetic Dentistry?
If you’d like a brighter smile, to look younger and refreshed, or to otherwise alter the appearance of your teeth, then cosmetic dentistry could very well be the solution for you. We also offer metal-free restorations, and veneers can effectively protect teeth with minor damage – meaning that even a “basic” dental procedure can include cosmetic elements if you’re concerned about your aesthetics. Talk to your cosmetic dentist in Chicago, and we’ll help you determine if cosmetic dentistry is right for you and your smile!
How Long Does Cosmetic Dentistry Last?
It depends on which treatment you choose, but in general, all of our dental cosmetics can last several years when taken care of properly. Here’s a quick overview of how our treatments compare on average:
- Veneers – 10 to 15 years.
- Metal-free crowns and fillings – 10 to 15 years.
- Teeth whitening – 2 to 3 years.
- Dental implants – up to 30 years or longer.
- Invisalign – for a lifetime, as long as you wear your retainer as instructed!
How Do I Choose a Cosmetic Dentist?
There aren’t any strict legal requirements to qualify a dentist as a cosmetic dentist in Chicago, which can make it difficult to narrow down your choices. However, you can tell a professional has experience with dental aesthetics when they mention special certifications for treatments like Invisalign. Our very own Dr. Kakar is Invisalign certified, and as a creative individual, she takes special interest in cosmetic dentistry!
Other aspects to think about are:
- Your budget – does the practice offer alternative financing options or special deals?
- Location – is the practice within a reasonable driving distance from your home?
- Technology – can the dentist show you what your treatment results could look like with virtual smile design, for example?
