As a team of leading dentists in Wheaton and other Chicago suburbs, we at Grove Dental are committed to the health and appearance of your teeth.  Our job is to not only be reactive, but to help you protect your teeth in the first place so that more complicated work down the road is not necessary.

While our dentists perform quality teeth whitening services, we encourage our patients to take preventative steps to keep smiles white and beautiful. We’ve listed a few below.

• It helps to brush your teeth immediately after eating or drinking coffee. If you can’t brush your teeth right away, be sure to at least rinse your mouth with water.
• Speaking of coffee, if you can avoid it, do so. Beverages like coffee, red wine and tea can stain your teeth. If you choose to have these drinks, consider using a straw to bypass your teeth.
• Brush your teeth at least two times per day, and floss at least once. Dental visits are a must. Your dentist can provide whitening services and touch ups to maintain the whiter shade. We recommend visiting your Wheaton dentist every six months, or more frequently if you smoke or drink a lot of coffee.

When we look our best, we feel our best, and springtime is a perfect time to put some new life into our steps. When brightening things up, why not include your smile? Grove Dental can help you welcome the spring months with a fresh-start and a whiter smile.

Zoom! Whitening
Zoom! whitening is a comfortable, safe in-office whitening procedure that is proven to whiten teeth by several shades in just a single visit.   By utilizing the latest in laser technology, the Zoom! whitening system allows us to produce dramatically whiter teeth—several shades brighter—by removing stubborn stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco and other staining agents. This procedure is ideal for busy patients looking for immediate results and dramatically whiter teeth without multiple appointments.
 
Veneers
If your teeth are chipped or have gaps or spaces between them, veneers may be the answer for you!
Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells that are designed to solve an array of dental issues. These durable shells of tooth-colored materials are bonded to the front of teeth and are designed to perfectly match your existing teeth while diminishing stains and improving appearance. Veneers are highly stain resistant and can last many years with proper care.  A new smile is attainable in just a few appointments with veneers.

At-home Bleaching
Grove offers another bleaching procedure that can be done in the comfort of your own home.    Simply apply the bleaching solution to your custom-made trays and wear them on your teeth for the required amount of time. You’ll notice a gradual improvement in the whiteness of your smile.  With at-home bleaching you can touch up your teeth to make them whiter and brighter at your convenience.   

Grove has many options to whiten your smile.  Talk to any of the Grove Dental doctors to find out which procedure is best for you.    Don’t get caught in the winter doldrums, whiten your smile today!

Teeth whitening is one of the most sought after cosmetic procedures, and for good reason. Your smile is one of the first things a person notices about you, and a whiter smile will allow you to make a memorable impression while boosting your confidence.

How Zoom! Works
The Zoom! whitening procedure is simple and painless. Sit back and relax, and your Grove dentist will apply the Zoom! whitening gel, which is activated by a special light. The gel and light work together to gently penetrate your enamel and eliminate the discoloration. The treatment is fast, and you'll be amazed with the results. In many cases, your teeth will whiten several shades.

Make that first impression a more memorable one with a whiter, more youthful smile! Call today to schedule or to find out if Zoom! whitening is for you. Other safe and effective alternatives are available to enhance your smile at Grove.

With the holidays quickly approaching, it’s a perfect time to look your very best for the nearing holiday parties and celebrations spent with friends and family.

Did you know your smile is one of your most eye-catching features? And it’s also one of the easiest features to improve and enhance with cosmetic dentistry by one of the professionals at Grove Dental. Through the use of new dental technology and treatments, such as teeth whitening, veneers, and Invisalign, attaining the smile you’ve always wished for is now easier than ever.

Give New Meaning to a “White Christmas”
Treat yourself this holiday season with a bright, white smile or give a teeth whitening certificate as a gift. At Grove, we offer two whitening solutions to brighten your smile and eliminate pesky stains. For instant results or for a special occasion, our Zoom! Whitening procedure is performed in our office and can whiten your teeth several shades in just one appointment! The At-home whitening technique can be applied in the comfort of your own home. We can help you determine the best treatment for your specific needs. Both methods are safe, effective and whiten teeth by several shades.

We offer many other procedures that will help you get the smile of your dreams. Porcelain veneers are a great way to mask dental blemishes, including chipped, stained and crooked teeth. These thin, translucent shells have the ability to mimic natural tooth enamel, making them virtually indistinguishable from your existing teeth. With veneers, you can improve the shape, size, length and color of your teeth all in a few appointments.

Be ready to look your best this holiday season with the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. You’ll look stunning for all of your holiday gatherings and ready to ring in the New Year with a more confident you.

Skipping a regular dental cleaning can lead to serious consequences for your health.

When your teeth feel good, you may be tempted to dodge your upcoming oral exam and cleaning. But don't let your seemingly healthy mouth prevent you from receiving the professional care your teeth and gums need.

Home care, which includes regular brushing, flossing and eating a well-balanced diet, is essential to maintaining a healthy smile.  However, there is simply no substitute for a professional dental cleaning. No matter how diligent you are in your oral health regimen, you should still have a dental exam and cleaning at least twice per year in order to protect your teeth and gums from gum disease and other serious oral health problems.

Serious Conditions Start as Treatable Problems
Most dental conditions begin as small problems. Without early detection, they can quickly progress to more serious conditions requiring more significant treatment solutions with fewer treatment options. The Grove Dental dentists will detect cavities, broken fillings and gum disease in their earliest stages, ensuring effective treatment and preventing further damage. Root canal therapy, gum surgery, and extractions are often times prevented with healthy dental care.

Personalized Preventive Care from Grove Dental
Grove Dental provides professional dental cleanings for the entire family. Our comprehensive approach to your oral health includes:

• Gentle checkups & thorough cleanings for a healthy, radiant smile
• Evaluation of gums for early signs of periodontal disease
• Home care instructions so that patients can maintain a healthy mouth between regular cleanings
• Ultra-safe X-rays to detect even the smallest problems
• Fluoride treatments (for kids) to keep teeth and gums healthy and strong
• Oral cancer screenings for early detection
• Cosmetic dental evaluation
• Discussion about your oral health and your smile

Your six-month dental cleaning and oral exam is an essential part of your overall health., No matter how healthy your teeth and gums appear, putting off a dental cleaning may place you at risk for serious health problems down the road.

For most people, all it takes is two easy appointments each year to keep your natural teeth healthy for a lifetime. When was your last dental cleaning? Contact Grove today!
