Veneers
Dental veneers are unique restorations that are customized to conceal imperfections of all kinds. Fabricated by lab technicians using impressions of your teeth, they fit comfortably in place to hide chips, stains, gaps, misshapen teeth, cracks, and other imperfections. Veneers are made using natural materials that mimic tooth enamel and can last a decade or longer.
Metal-Free Dental Restorations
Porcelain and ceramic are the materials our team at Grand Dental – South Elgin uses when crafting metal-free dental restorations. Not only do they lower the risk of tooth sensitivity, but they also work to ensure better protection and enhance appearances without causing dark lines to form around the base of teeth.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Cosmetic dental bonding is an easy way to conceal minor flaws such as stains, chips, and small gaps. Consisting of composite resin, the same material used for tooth-colored fillings, it is directly applied to the tooth enamel so that optimal coverage is achieved once hardened into place. With cosmetic dental bonding, the entire process can be completed in just one visit.
Teeth Whitening
You can brighten your smile using in-office teeth whitening from our talented cosmetic professionals, or you can choose Opalescence take-home teeth whitening kit. By choosing professional teeth whitening, you can see a dramatic difference that will last much longer than anything you might buy over the counter at your local drugstore. Our in-office service can produce results in just one hour, while our take-home kits will have you seeing noticeably whiter teeth in two weeks.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work
At Grand Dental – South Elgin, we are pleased to offer patients two convenient options for teeth whitening – in-office whitening and custom take-home kits. No matter which method an individual chooses, tooth stains will be removed quickly and safely.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Once customized trays are crafted, our team will provide an individual with their designed trays and Opalescence whitening gel. Using detailed instructions delivered by our team, the person will wear the trays every day for a designated amount of time. The bleaching agent will penetrate the enamel to target stains and eliminate them. After two weeks, a person can expect to see dramatic results.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our dentists at Grand Dental – Elgin are also pleased to offer in-office whitening. This process involves applying the bleaching agent to the teeth and using a high-powered light to activate the whitening gel and eliminate stains.

Gum Recontouring
Having too much gum tissue around your teeth can put you at risk for bacterial accumulation that leads to an infection (gum disease). It can also cause you to feel self-conscious about your appearance. With gum recontouring, we can use our soft tissue laser to remove excess tissue and create healthier, more even gumlines.
Crown Lengthening
When additional gum tissue makes it hard to receive a custom crown or veneer, we can use the same process used for gum recontouring to perform what is known as crown lengthening. We’ll expose more of your existing tooth structure by removing unnecessary tissue, making it possible for our team to repair and restore your smile using custom-made restorations.
