- Dental ExaminationUpon 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.

- Restorative DentistryIn 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.

- DenturesTraditional 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.
- Dental ImplantsDr. 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.

- Tooth ExtractionsFor 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.
- OrthodonticsWe 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 OrthodonticsInvisalign is a great option for busy, working adults. The clear aligners are hardly noticeable and adapt well into your routine.
- BracesBecause 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.
