Dr. Brent Engelberg’s passion for providing patients with their dream smiles is evident. Just ask Claudia, a success story at our office who was unhappy with her upper teeth. She wanted to be sure that when she chose a cosmetic dentist, they would be one that could provide her with high-quality results that would last. Claudia appreciated the warmth and kindness of our entire dental staff. Read on to learn the details of her dental work from Skokie cosmetic dentist, Dr. Engelberg.
Searching for the Right Fit
Claudia is a resident of Elk Grove, Illinois. She had received dental work in the past that left her unsatisfied with the way her upper teeth appeared. Her goals were function, aesthetics, and quality. She hoped to combine her cosmetic dental needs with restorative work that would have her teeth functioning and looking great. Dr. Engelberg suggested laser gum reshaping, porcelain dental crowns, a bonded post and core (inside a root canal tooth) a three-unit porcelain bridge, and a mouth appliance to deal with teeth grinding (bruxism).
A Bridge Over Troubled Dental Water
Dental implants were originally considered to replace missing teeth, but Claudia and Dr. Engelberg discussed her desires in depth. Due to jawbone density that was less than ideal, a dental implant didn’t seem to be the right way to go for long lasting tooth replacement. A bridge was decided on instead. Dr. Engelberg worked with his experienced ceramist to design a dental bridge that would flawlessly and naturally blend into existing gum tissue. Claudia’s oral appliance for teeth grinding added additional protection to her bridge and restored teeth. When all was said and done, Claudia was very pleased with her results.
