Overall

Disappointing

Although this business claims to be christian, be warned. The instant you leave the office the son and staff make fun of you. They cut corners to save money and raise up the prices. Avoid at all costs, go somewhere other than these I think Im better than you because I have money people.

Dental Examination
The Smile Shoppe Â we believe in full access to dentistry for all ages, especially school-aged children! Illinois state law requires all children entering Kindergarten, second, sixth, and ninth grades to have a dental exam prior to the start of the school year. Since children are our most precious resource,Â
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Close to 450,000 new cases of oral and oropharyngeal cancer are diagnosed every year. With only a 57% 5-year survival rate, your providers at The Smile Shoppe are diligent in providing you the very best in oral cancer screenings.

Teeth Cleaning
A dental sealant is a tooth-colored material that can be applied to these hard-to-reach areas, filling up the grooves so that the sugar and bacteria can't reach them. Sealants are painless, they don't require any numbing, and they preserve normal and important tooth structure (so you won't even notice a difference). Dental sealants are usually placed as the back teeth (molars) come in. Our hygienists are trained and experienced in applying sealants, so you can have them done at your regular dental cleaning without having to come back for another appointment!
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
Fillings and sealants are two of the most common dental procedures besides a routine cleaning. While sealants will help protect your teeth from decay and cavities, fillings are available to repair teeth that have already experienced some decay.

Fillings
Veneers
A thin layer of material placed on the front side of the teeth, veneers are a great alternative for changing smiles with gaps, crowding, staining, or broken teeth.
Crowns
Cerec Â 3D technology. A crown or bridge will finally be made to replace the missing tooth or teeth. Once the new tooth is in, it will blend right in with your smile!
Bridges
Crowns and bridges are dental procedures that can restore damaged, discolored, malpositioned, or missing teeth. Used to repair or replace teeth dating back to the ancient Egyptians, modern dentistry now allows these procedures to be quick, easy, and comfortable.
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is often recommended in cases of tooth injury or deep decay when the inside of the tooth (the pulp or "nerve") becomes injured or dies. If left untreated, a severe infection can result. In order to restore the health of the tooth, a root canal may need to be performed to avoid extraction of the tooth and the cost of replacing it. In the past, root canals have gotten a bad reputation for being painful. Due to advances in technology and anesthesia, this is no longer the case, and a root canal can be performed with minimal discomfort.

Deep Cleaning
Sometimes with age, genetics, and improper or inadequate dental hygiene, a periodontal cleaning or "deep cleaning" is necessary. Evidence of the presence of periodontal disease is found through the measurement of bone height. If your hygienist is doing a periodontal examination and you hear numbers over 'three', you might have periodontal disease. Bleeding of the gums is not normal, and is a further sign of gum disease.

Dentures
When you are missing teeth, you may find that you have difficulty chewing your food properly. It is also possible for your face to take on a "sunken-in" appearance because your teeth aren't there to fill out your cheeks & lips or to provide normal jaw separation. If this is the case, there are two different dental appliances available to restore the form and functionality back to your smile: partial dentures and complete (full) dentures.

Dental Implants
The doctor will first take x-rays to determine if there is adequate bone to support your implant. Once that determination has been made, you will be scheduled for the implant placement.Â Most people are good candidates for implants, but some chronic illnesses like diabetes or personal habits like smoking can interfere with healing after surgery.

Orthodontics
We love the fact that our patients want to be well-informed and that is why we welcome all of our current and new patients for consultations. Whether it is a consultation about orthodontics, veneers, cosmetic dentistry, or more, we will take the time necessary to sit down with you and discuss your questions and concerns.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign, photographs and measurements will be taken, and you will have your teeth scanned to make a 3D model of your teeth. A series of several trays will be made and sent to you. You will need to wear each tray for a specified amount of time, and then you will switch to a new tray as scheduled. Your provider will keep an eye on how your teeth are moving, and adjust the tray schedule as needed.
Braces
People have been desiring to have straight, beautiful teeth since the ancient Egyptians. Over 4.5 million Americans wear braces every year to improve their smiles.Â

Teeth Whitening
Experts agree that the #1 non-invasive way to rapidly improve your smile is whitening! Over the years, teeth can lose their sparkle from age, foods, drinks, and smoking. If your smile is looking a little dim, consider whitening.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Everyone deserves a beautiful smile! The Smile Shoppe offers a full range of gentle and safe dental procedures to help you smile with confidence again. Cosmetic dentistry involves procedures that will change the appearance of your teeth, gums, bite, or smile.Â
