- Dental ExaminationWelcome to the Arbor Dental Care family! We can’t wait to see you for your first dental appointment. When you arrive at our Lisle dental office, you’ll be greeted warmly by one of our team members. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you have and help you complete your new patient documents as necessary. Then, we’ll walk you through the office and introduce you to dentists and team members who are not helping other patients. Before we begin your examination and cleaning on this first visit, we’ll sit down with you to discuss your oral health and hygiene goals before we get started.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningYou may not think about it very often, but oral cancer has a sizable presence in our country. According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, some 53,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year -- and the disease kills at least one person every hour. Early detection can help increase chances of successful treatment for oral cancer. At your regular dental checkup, Dr. Frank Marchese or Dr. Jeanelle Marchese can perform an oral cancer screening to see if you’ve got any irregularities that could indicate the condition. Why should you have an oral cancer screening? And what are the symptoms and risk factors for the disease? Find the answers to these and other questions below.
- Teeth CleaningMaintaining your good oral health truly depends on a trustworthy partnership between you and Drs. Marchese at Arbor Dental Care. We count on you to do your part by adhering to your daily oral hygiene routine at home and we know you count on us to provide the best possible teeth cleanings at your regularly scheduled dental checkups. Together, we can make sure you enjoy healthy teeth and gums not only for the sake of your oral health, but your general health, as well.
- Fluoride TreatmentSpeaking of proper brushing and flossing - that's a tough order for young children. They may not have the dexterity to reach all of the teeth in their mouth, and in particular, their molars, which are deeply grooved, may be hard to keep clean. For these reasons, Drs. Frank and Nellie Marchese may recommend fluoride treatments. Applied topically during a checkup, fluoride helps to strengthen tooth enamel, and with stronger enamel, your child is better able to avoid tooth decay and cavities.
- Dental SealantsDental sealants are some of the most effective preventive solutions available at Arbor Dental Care. As the name indicates, they seal out bacteria, plaque, and tartar creating a barrier between potentially damaging substances and the enamel tooth surface. Dental sealants are a great preventive aid for children as they begin to develop their oral hygiene skills and for any patient who is at high risk for decay. We are able to quickly and painlessly apply dental sealants as part of any dental checkup appointment, so we encourage patients to ask about this treatment during their visit. If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, don’t hesitate to contact our Lisle dentist and team to find out more today.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeFor minor decay or damage, we will likely recommend Arbor Dental Care patients receive a filling. In the very recent past, fillings were crafted from dark colored amalgam. Today, we use a cosmetically superior solution - tooth-colored composite resin. This natural looking and functioning restoration material offers numerous benefits for the look of the smile and the longevity of the restoration. If you’d like to find out more about fillings, any of our comprehensive dental services, or schedule an appointment, please don’t hesitate to call our Lisle dental team.
- VeneersVeneers are a popular solution because they can resolve several cosmetic concerns using only one treatment. We may recommend them for patients who want to conceal or correct numerous smile flaws without needing a lengthy process. In fact, you can have the smile you’ve always wanted in as few as 2 appointments when needing to correct...
- CrownsYour teeth are meant to last forever with the right care. Unfortunately, that isn’t a reality for many Americans. Despite the latest innovations in dentistry, it’s normal for a tooth to suffer extensive damage. As a result, a filling may not be a suitable option to save it; however, a dental crown might be too drastic. As an alternative to either treatment, your dentist in Lisle can repair it with an onlay or inlay. They provide a middle ground between a filling and a crown to provide long-lasting results.
- BridgesMany people have lost one tooth or several sequential teeth due to infections, injuries, or other causes. Luckily, dental bridges have successfully addressed this sort of tooth loss for decades. These reliable dental appliances are sturdy and lifelike, allowing patients to chew a wide variety of foods and enjoy a complete and beautiful smile. Here’s a brief guide to how the team at Arbor Dental Care can help you achieve a complete grin, but please contact our office if you have any questions.
- Dental BondingCosmetic bonding is a simple process that often takes as little as 30-60 minutes per tooth. In most cases, it’s painless enough that no numbing is required.
- Restorative DentistryThere is not a set price for restorative dentistry because the cost is based on several factors, like the procedure required. We’ll provide you with a personalized estimate and explain the fees associated with your plan. A member of our team will discuss your payment options, like third-party financing with CareCredit. We will help you find the solutions you need to restore your smile without breaking the bank.
- Root Canal TreatmentNaturally, emergency dental care comes with a price. It’s important to be aware of the costs involved before you agree to any sort of treatment. Sometimes only a minor filling will be required, but in other situations, treatments such as root canal therapy may be necessary. At Arbor Dental Care, the cost of emergency dentistry in Lisle will be explained to you ahead of time so you know what to expect when the time comes for payment.
- Deep CleaningIf your body is exhibiting any early signs of gum disease, we might suggest scaling and root planing. Sometimes called a “deep cleaning,” this procedure allows us to thoroughly remove all lingering oral bacteria and ease your symptoms. We’ll remove all plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth before smoothing down your roots to allow for optimal healing. Read on to learn more about scaling and root planing and how it works.
- DenturesWe believe patients who have experienced advanced tooth loss deserve a smile restoration to reinstate their confidence and quality of life. We offer custom-crafted dentures in Lisle to deliver results that look and feel great. We only use durable, high-quality materials to ensure they last for years while providing optimal performance. Whether you need new dentures or an adjustment to an existing denture, we have the solutions for you. You’ll achieve the full, flawless smile you desire.
- Dental ImplantsIt’s easy enough to see how a single dental implant post can replace a missing tooth. But what if you’ve lost all of your teeth? Fortunately, dental implants in Lisle are still an option, even if you have no natural pearly whites left. Instead of replacing each individual tooth with an implant, we can restore a full row of lost teeth with just a few implants. Plus, as a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, Dr. Frank Marchese can perform every step of the process right here in our office. Call Arbor Dental Care today if you’re interested in a healthy, comfortable, and long-lasting solution to tooth loss.
- Oral SurgeryYou will require oral surgery to place your implant posts into your jawbone. Don’t worry, sedation or anesthesia are used to ensure your comfort. You won’t feel any pain during your procedure; however, you can expect there to be some discomfort while you heal. You can manage it with an over-the-counter pain reliever. After you’ve healed, your dental implants should never hurt. If you have any pain, it can be a sign of implant failure. It’s best to contact your dentist right away to find the source of your discomfort to save your smile.
- Tooth ExtractionsHow we treat jaw pain: We’ll work to identify the root cause of your jaw pain. Once we’ve detected the source of the problem, we can form a personalized treatment plan to fix it. This may involve wisdom tooth extraction, custom nightguards for bruxism, or TMJ therapy.
- Bone GraftingMany patients require bone grafting prior to their implant placement surgery, but it isn’t always necessary. During your initial consultation, we’ll review a CT scan of your oral structures. If we find you’ve lost bone in your jaw, we’ll recommend the grafting procedure. This adds bone to areas that have weakened to ensure your jaw is strong enough to support the posts long-term. Although it adds another step to your treatment plan, it’s time well-spent to invest in the success of your new smile.
- OrthodonticsIn order to properly clean their teeth and their braces, patients with traditional orthodontics often need special oral hygiene tools, like interproximal toothbrushes. Since Invisalign aligners are removable, however, no changes to your dental care regimen are necessary; simply take off the aligners before brushing and flossing as you usually would!
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign® is an alternative orthodontic solution that uses clear, plastic alignment trays rather than brackets and wires to straighten teeth. We utilize the latest 3D imaging technologies to design the alignment trays and plan the entire course of treatment. The process takes about twelve months to complete from start to finish, and allows patients to maintain a more comfortable day to day life during treatment. Invisalign® trays are removable, so patients can simply take them out during meals or while they’re brushing and flossing.
- BracesMany patients who visit Arbor Dental Care in Lisle ask about getting a straighter smile. Some of these are adult patients who never had orthodontic treatment, some need orthodontic retreatment because their smile shifted after care, and teens and adults who want to achieve a straighter smile without the hassle that comes with traditional bracket and wire braces. For these patients and anyone interested in a more subtle form of orthodontic care, Invisalign® may be a great option. Our skilled dentists and caring team offer smile realignment using these innovative Invisalign® clear braces system. If you’d like to find out whether or not Invisalign® is an option for you, contact our team to schedule an appointment.
- Teeth WhiteningIntrinsic stains, on the other hand, are more severe, occurring beneath the surface of the teeth. They can be the result of trauma, overuse of certain medications, too much fluoride consumption during childhood, or erosion/thinning of the enamel. While even whitening toothpastes might not be effective at blasting away these stains, our whitening treatment definitely can be.
- Cosmetic DentistryThis cosmetic dentistry treatment is fast becoming one of the most cost-effective steps you can take to enhance the appearance of your smile. Even if your teeth have other imperfections, a white smile is great compensation.
- General DentistryYour general dental care begins with routine dental checkups and cleanings. While we're known for taking on advanced cases, we want you to know that we also provide comprehensive general dentistry services that include the regular preventive dental care that you need to avoid advanced dental restoration. Checkups and cleanings are recommended every six months; this gives Drs. Frank and Nellie Marchese a chance to catch problems early and intervene to stop damage. Our general dentistry includes periodontal therapy for treating gum disease. We even use diode laser technology to perform your periodontal therapy treatment with precision. Other general dental services include custom nightguards for protecting teeth and jaws from damage due to teeth grinding and clenching and custom athletic mouthguards to prevent injuries while playing sports or being active.
