Choosing the Right Cosmetic Dentist for the Elegant Smile You Deserve

If you are considering a smile makeover or any cosmetic dentistry procedure in the Chicago, Illinois area, you need to take the time to choose a dentist with the experience and expertise to give you the best possible results. Dr. Shapira and Dr. Amidei have trained at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, the premier training facility for dentists; they also have a wealth of training and experience that goes far beyond what LVI offers.

For a Smile That Reflects the Inner You

It is vital that you choose a qualified and highly experienced cosmetic dentist. A dentist who has performed many cosmetic dentistry procedures will have had more time to perfect their technique and are better able to handle emergency situations should they arise. Also, more experience performing cosmetic dentistry procedures means they will provide better results. There are several guidelines to follow in order to ensure that you choose the best possible cosmetic dentist. Look for the following factors when deciding whom to trust your oral health to:

• Experience - Look for a cosmetic dentist who is experienced in a variety of cosmetic procedures. A dentist with experience is better prepared to deal with emergencies. We offer the full range of cosmetic dentistry procedures and treatments so we can help you shape your smile with optimal results.
• Before & Afters - We'll show you before and after photos of our other cosmetic dentistry patients. You can see the quality of cosmetic dentistry we perform by viewing pictures of other people who have had a procedure similar to yours.
• LVI-Training - The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Aesthetic Dentistry is the premier training center for cosmetic dentistry in the United States. Make sure you choose an LVI-trained cosmetic dentist. LVI is a wonderful training program, but the best dentists go well beyond what is taught at a single institution.
• Personal Care - Your cosmetic dentist should look at more than just the front teeth. They should evaluate how the face, lips and cheeks are supported to give a smile that radiates vitality. We take a sincere interest in our patients' general health. We want to make sure you get the results you want without sacrificing your overall health. Our neuromuscular dentistry training will aid us in making sure you not only look good but also feel good after your procedure.
• AACD Membership - It is a good idea for your cosmetic dentist to be a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. This membership is an indication that the dentist has had extra training in the field of cosmetic dentistry.
• International Academy of Comprehensive Esthetics is a premiere group for cosmetic training
• ICCMO Neuromuscular Dentistry is a complex field and membership and training with ICCMO, The International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics is extremely important. Dr Ira Shapira is a lecturer and Fellow of ICCMO. He is also a former International Regent. Dr Amidei has attended ICCMO and has been studying Neuromuscular Dentistry with Dr Shapira for 16 years.
