Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Upon your arrival to North Pier Dental Associates, a member of our team will guide you to one of our comfortable dental examination rooms. Dr. Couvelis will carefully inject the predetermined treatment area (typically the jaw muscles) with BOTOX®. Patients seldom report any pain from this; however, some patients may experience minor discomfort that lasts only a few moments. Dr. Couvelis may apply a cold pack or anesthetic cream to the injection area to minimize any discomfort. Your appointment should take only about 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of injections you require. There is no recovery period, and you can resume your normal routine immediately after your office visit.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning

We promise to be there for you each step of the way, whether you need a routine dental cleaning, want to straighten your smile with Invisalign, or if you want to restore your mouth with dental implants. By using the newest dental technology, we can provide you the most complete care possible in a minimally invasive way.

• Space Maintainers

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  It may take a little time to adjust to having new porcelain veneers. Learn our tips for a successful transition period!
• Crowns
  Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone and topped with a natural-looking restoration, such as a crown.
• Bridges
  Dental bridges and dentures both replace missing teeth but in very different ways. Learn which treatment is best for your situation.
• Dental Bonding
  We want your investment to last a lifetime, and porcelain veneers offer many advantages over dental bonding, including increased longevity and resistance to staining: veneers can stand the test of time. Should you have any questions concerning your financing options, we will be happy to discuss them with you.
• Restorative Dentistry
  In April 1991, he opened North Pier Dental Assoc. P.C. in Streeterville Chicago. Dr. Couvelis takes initiative in receiving the latest information on equipment and advanced techniques. He also believes a professional must be a continuous student, and therefore, has continued to take hundreds of hours in advanced dental training on all phases of dentistry with an emphasis on dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, and restorative dentistry to further develop his knowledge in these subjects.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Traditional partial and full dentures are removable prosthetics that can be customized to comfortably fit in your mouth, providing you with the ability to chew and speak normally and to improve the appearance of your smile. Traditional dentures are held in place with natural suction and a special adhesive. Partial dentures may be held in place by a connective piece of plastic or metal affixed to the surrounding teeth.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Dr. Couvelis both places and restores dental implants at his Chicago dental office. Dental implants can restore the function and appearance of your smile by replacing severely damaged or missing teeth, and preventing bone loss which can result in the collapsed appearance of facial features.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  The Dental Associates Discount Plan network includes general dentists and specialists, so you won’t need to search for additional providers to complete all the dental care you need—from cleanings and exams to dental implants and oral surgery.
• Tooth Extractions
  For our patients who come to us and need additional cleaning and hygiene care beyond a routine cleaning, we offer full-mouth scalings to remove plaque and debris from underneath the gumline. This will help keep your natural teeth for longer and prevent the need for tooth extractions and extensive gum disease treatment.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  We offer Invisalign® Teen and Invisalign® Express, as well as traditional Invisalign®, to treat patients of all ages. If necessary, the doctor can incorporate Propel orthodontics to significantly speed up the treatment process.
• Invisalign Orthodontics
  Invisalign is a great option for busy, working adults. The clear aligners are hardly noticeable and adapt well into your routine.
• Braces
  Because aligners are removable, you can eat a wider range of food than you can with traditional braces. Maintaining proper oral hygiene is also much simpler.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  If you have lost confidence in your smile, we can help you gain it back with our Zoom® whitening system, which delivers dazzling white smiles. Are you ready to turn back the clock?
• Cosmetic Dentistry

Even in the most severe cases, we offer proven solutions to restore patients' appearance and oral function.
