The decision to enhance your smile represents far more than a cosmetic choice—it’s an investment in your confidence, professional presence, and overall quality of life. Modern cosmetic dentistry combines artistry with advanced technology to deliver transformative results that look natural and last for decades, addressing everything from minor imperfections to complete smile makeovers.
At Skale Dental Professionals, Drs. Darrel and Ryan Skale and his experienced team provide comprehensive cosmetic dental services to patients throughout Highland Park and the surrounding North Shore communities from their state-of-the-art Northbrook location. With advanced training in 3D smile design, same-day crown technology, and high-level cosmetic procedures, our practice delivers personalized treatment plans that align with your aesthetic goals and lifestyle needs.
Featured Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Our Highland Park cosmetic dentistry practice offers a comprehensive range of treatments designed to address various aesthetic concerns and functional issues. Each treatment plan begins with a thorough consultation and 3D smile design process, allowing you to visualize your results before treatment begins.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign represents one of the most popular orthodontic solutions for adults and teenagers seeking straighter teeth without traditional braces. These virtually invisible aligners gradually move teeth into the proper position while allowing you to maintain your normal eating habits and oral hygiene routine. The treatment typically takes 12-18 months, depending on the complexity of your case, and can address crowding, spacing, overbites, and underbites.
Dental Implants for Missing Teeth
For patients with damaged, missing, or severely worn teeth, dental implants offer the most comprehensive solution for missing teeth, providing a permanent foundation that preserves jawbone structure while delivering natural-looking results. Our practice collaborates with board-certified periodontist Dr. Weiting Ho for complex surgical procedures, ensuring the highest level of care throughout your treatment process. Implants can support individual crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations.
Porcelain Veneers for Complete Smile Makeovers
Porcelain veneers address multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously, including discoloration, chips, cracks, minor misalignment, and gaps between teeth. These ultra-thin ceramic shells are custom-designed to match your facial features and desired aesthetic outcome. The treatment process typically requires two appointments, and veneers can last 15-20 years with proper care.
Additional Cosmetic Treatments
Our cosmetic dentistry services extend beyond individual procedures to include complete smile makeovers and full-mouth rehabilitation. Same-day crowns utilize advanced CAD/CAM technology to design, mill, and place permanent crowns in a single appointment, eliminating temporary crowns and multiple visits.
Zoom teeth whitening provides professional-grade results that surpass over-the-counter products. The in-office treatment can lighten teeth by several shades in approximately one hour, and we provide take-home maintenance kits to preserve your results.
For patients experiencing anxiety about dental procedures, we offer sedation dentistry options to ensure comfort throughout treatment. Oral sedation helps patients relax while remaining conscious and responsive during procedures.
Why Highland Park Patients Choose Our Northbrook Practice
Highland Park residents consistently choose to travel to our Northbrook location because of our unique combination of advanced technology, specialized training, and comprehensive in-house capabilities. Our practice features on-site 3D printing technology for custom nightguards, retainers, and temporary restorations, eliminating delays and ensuring precise fit. The 3D smile design system provides realistic treatment previews, allowing you to see your expected results before beginning treatment.
Dr. Skale’s certification in craniofacial dental sleep medicine sets our practice apart, enabling us to address both aesthetic concerns and functional issues like TMJ treatment and sleep apnea with custom oral appliances. This comprehensive approach means fewer referrals and more coordinated care under one roof.
Our in-house board-certified periodontist, Dr. Weiting Ho, provides surgical support for complex implant cases and gum grafting procedures without requiring separate appointments at different locations. This collaboration ensures seamless treatment planning and execution for full-mouth rehabilitation cases.
Advanced Technology and Personalized Care
The short drive from Highland Park to our Northbrook practice provides access to technology and expertise typically found only in specialized centers. Same-day crown capabilities mean you can receive permanent restorations in a single visit, saving time and eliminating temporary crowns. Our 3D printing laboratory creates custom appliances while you wait, providing immediate solutions for nightguards and retainers.
We understand that cosmetic dentistry represents a significant investment, which is why our financial options include various payment plans and financing solutions to make treatment accessible. As an out-of-network practice, we work with virtually all PPO insurance programs and handle all paperwork to maximize your benefits while providing unrestricted treatment options.
Comprehensive Care Worth the Journey
Highland Park patients appreciate our practice’s focus on complete smile transformations rather than isolated treatments. Dr. Skale loves complex cases, including full-mouth reconstructions with 26 teeth in one comprehensive treatment plan. This “retirement teeth” approach helps patients reclaim their youthful appearance and confidence, particularly appealing to those who have finished raising families and are ready to invest in themselves.
Our team includes experienced hygienists and assistants trained at the highest level, ensuring coordinated care throughout your treatment process. The practice environment emphasizes comfort and relaxation, with amenities designed to make your visit pleasant and stress-free, making the brief trip from Highland Park worthwhile.
