Medication-assisted relaxation is a newer treatment and allows
us to treat those of you who are fearful of dental procedures.
It relaxes and calms worried, anxious patients, therefore allowing
us to complete treatment more comfortably. This treatment
is also very beneficial for those in need of a large amount of
dental treatment. The medicated relaxation state helps patients
tolerate treatment much more easily. It can make a vast difference
in their overall and psychological health, as well as build self-confidence. |

break teeth, and/or have migraines or muscle soreness from night

with great success for years.

The Diagnodent Cavity detection system is a new and valuable
tool to help find tooth decay. We use the Diagnodent Laser Cavity
Detection Device, which provides accurate, independent verification
of suspected dental defects. The Diagnodent uses a small laser
to detect decay on the surfaces of teeth. When the sensor
detects decay it responds. The
higher the number and the louder the signal, the greater the
likelihood of decay. |

One of the first things you notice about people is their smile.
When you meet someone with a bright, beautiful smile it catches
your attention. However, over time, the natural aging process
and your lifestyle can stain your teeth. Our office uses a variety
of whitening systems. One hour whitening treatment provides dramatic
whitening in a little over an hour. When followed up with Rembrandt
Plus toothpaste the whitening effect lasts much longer. Please
do not forget to ask our friendly staff, about the home 'Total
Control' tray whitening system as well as Crest Whitening Strips
offered in our office.

Smiles of Skokie is an Invisalign certified office. The Invisalign
system is the clear alternative to braces, so most people won’t
even notice you are in treatment. You will look great and feel
confident while you are getting an incredible smile. Dr. McWhinnie

treatment and believes Invisalign to be a wonderful alternative
for many people to conventional braces. We also offer other braces-free
treatments to straighten teeth, which can be used as a supplement
of the Invisalign treatment. Please call our office for more
