Our Cosmetic Services
Dental Implants
For replacing missing teeth, dental implants are the gold standard. A titanium post fuses with your jawbone to form a stable, permanent foundation for a custom crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Implants also protect bone health and keep surrounding teeth from shifting, so your smile stays complete and your bite stays balanced.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening strips away years of stains and discoloration to reveal a brighter, more youthful smile. Choose in-office laser whitening for dramatic results in a single visit, or custom take-home trays for gradual, convenient brightening on your own schedule. Whichever you pick, the results outshine anything sold over the counter.
Porcelain Veneers
Ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded across the front of your teeth, veneers correct chips, stains, gaps, and minor misalignment in a single step. Each one is custom-designed for your smile, giving natural-looking results that are nearly impossible to tell from real teeth. For a less invasive route, we also offer minimal-prep and no-prep options.
Tell us what you'd change and we'll show you what's possible, because your perfect smile begins with a conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions
The right treatment depends entirely on what you want to change. A quick guide to how the main options line up with common goals:
- Whitening for teeth dulled by stains and discoloration
- Veneers to correct chips, gaps, and discoloration in a single procedure
- Invisible braces for crooked or misaligned teeth
- Dental implants to replace teeth that are missing
Many smiles benefit from a combination rather than a single treatment. Dr. Raffi will recommend the option, or mix of options, that best matches your goals, budget, and timeline.
Most cosmetic procedures involve little or no discomfort. Whitening may bring on temporary sensitivity, veneers call for minimal tooth preparation under local anesthesia, and invisible braces create mild pressure for a day or two each time you switch to a new set of trays.
If you feel anxious or simply want extra comfort, we will talk through your comfort options before any treatment. The aim is to keep every step of your cosmetic treatment as relaxed and pain-free as possible.
Longevity varies by treatment. Professional whitening results can hold for 1 to 3 years with maintenance, while porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Other results are effectively permanent. Invisible braces keep teeth aligned as long as you wear your retainer, and dental implants can last a lifetime with good care. Dr. Raffi will explain what to expect from whichever treatments you choose, so there are no surprises down the road.
Absolutely, and many patients do. Pairing treatments is common, whether that means whitening alongside veneers or straightening teeth with invisible braces and then whitening for the finishing touch.
Dr. Raffi can map out a phased plan that tackles several concerns in a sensible order, so each step builds on the last toward the best overall result. Combining treatments often delivers a more complete transformation than any single procedure could on its own.
Most cosmetic treatments are considered elective, which means dental insurance usually does not cover them. There are exceptions: procedures that also restore function, such as crowns, implants, or orthodontics, may qualify for partial coverage depending on your plan.
At our Chicago and Bourbonnais, IL offices, we verify your benefits up front and offer financing options to fit your budget, so the cost of a more beautiful smile stays manageable.
The first step is a cosmetic consultation. During that visit, Dr. Raffi listens to your goals, examines your teeth, and lays out your options along with clear cost estimates. There is no pressure, just the information you need to decide what is right for your smile.
You can request an appointment at either of our Chicago and Bourbonnais, IL offices whenever you are ready, and we will take it from there together.
Love your smile. Book a cosmetic consultation and discover what's possible.
