Cosmetic dentistry enhances the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. At our Arlington Heights practice, Dr. Tokunaga employs precise, conservative techniques to help you correct flaws, brighten your smile, and achieve a natural, confident look.

A Customized Plan for Your Smile

Every patient brings different concerns. Some want whiter teeth. Others want to fix chips or reshape a tooth that draws attention. Some want a full transformation. We help you choose the right cosmetic treatments based on your goals, your enamel condition, and the way your bite functions.

 

Popular Cosmetic Options

You can address small concerns or plan a complete smile makeover with options such as:

  • Teeth Whitening – brightens your smile in a short time
  • Dental Bonding – repairs minor chips or gaps with tooth-colored resin
  • Veneers – correct shape, size, and color for a uniform look
  • Dental Contouring – reshapes enamel for smoother lines
  • Crowns – rebuilds strength and appearance when a tooth is damaged
  • Gum Contouring – improves symmetry when the gumline looks uneven
  • Total Smile Makeover – combines treatments to create long-lasting change

Each service focuses on improving appearance while protecting the long-term health of your teeth and gums.

 

 

Function & Form Go Hand in Hand

A beautiful smile only works well when it feels comfortable. Dr. Tokunaga evaluates your bite, tooth structure, and gum health before recommending any cosmetic treatment. This helps ensure that your cosmetic improvements support your overall function instead of creating new problems.

Clear Results You Can See and Feel

Cosmetic dentistry can help you feel more confident in daily life. Many patients report improved comfort when smiling, speaking, or taking photos. Even small refinements, like reshaping a rough edge or whitening stained teeth, can create a noticeable difference.

Start Planning Your New Smile

You deserve a smile that reflects how you want to present yourself. If you are ready to improve color, shape, alignment, or symmetry, Dr. Tokunaga can guide you through the best options for your goals. Schedule a consultation in Arlington Heights to start your personalized cosmetic plan.
