Why Palatine patients drive over for cosmetic dentistry
Many people looking for a dentist in Palatine, IL want more than a checkup: a brighter shade, a repaired chip or a full smile plan. Omni Dental of Arlington Heights is a short drive southeast on Rand Road.
Dr. Bilus D Poles DDS,MAGD,DICOI, DIDIA, plans crowns, veneers and whitening with you and also provides routine dental care.
What planning a smile with Dr. Poles looks like
Good cosmetic work starts with a plan, made before any tooth is changed. A typical path looks like this:
Dr. Poles is a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. You can browse real before and after photos of Omni patients.
- 1 Goals talk. You explain what bothers you: color, chips, gaps or worn edges.
- 2 Health check. Decay and gum problems come first, because oral health comes before looks.
- 3 Shade and shape. The shade and shape of each tooth are discussed with you.
- 4 Your review. Dr. Poles reviews the planned shape and shade with you before treatment.
- 5 Your plan. Your plan lists your treatment options and the order of each step.
Crowns, veneers, whitening or bonding: which one fits?
These treatments solve different problems. The right choice starts with what you want to change.
| Treatment | Good fit for | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Whitening | Healthy teeth with stains | Color of natural enamel only |
| Bonding | Small chips and gaps | Shape, with little or no tooth removal |
| Veneers | Chips, uneven edges, deep stains | The front surface of the tooth |
| Crowns | Cracked, worn or heavily filled teeth | The whole tooth, for strength and looks |
Many plans combine treatments. Whitening first lets new crowns or veneers be matched to the brighter shade. If color is your main concern, compare professional whitening with porcelain veneers.
How a dental crown is made
A crown usually takes two visits, one to prepare the tooth and one to place the final crown.
Here is more on how crowns protect a weak tooth.
Can a crown be finished in one visit?
Some offices make crowns in a single visit with an in-office milling machine.
Whether that fits depends on the tooth, your bite and the material. Dr. Poles decides at your exam which approach suits you, and you can read about single-visit crown options first.
- 1 Exam and X-rays. Dr. Poles confirms the tooth can hold a crown, or treats decay first.
- 2 Shaping. After numbing, a thin layer is removed so the crown does not feel bulky.
- 3 Impression and temporary. The tooth is recorded for the lab, and you leave wearing a temporary cap.
- 4 Final crown. The fit and shade are checked, then the crown is cemented in place.
Veneers: what to know before you commit
- Porcelain veneers usually need a thin layer of enamel removed, so the tooth will always need a covering.
- Composite veneers often need less reduction and are easier to repair, but they may stain sooner.
- Teeth with active decay, gum disease or a heavy grinding habit need treatment before veneers.
Keeping cosmetic work healthy over time
Cosmetic results depend on healthy teeth and gums underneath, so cosmetic work is part of oral healthcare. Routine dental visits let Dr. Poles check crown edges, veneer margins and gum health. Healthy gums also matter for your overall health.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do not see your question? Call us and we will talk it through.
Call (847) 483-8833Do veneers damage your natural teeth?
Porcelain veneers usually mean some enamel is reshaped for good, which is the main trade-off. Over time, decay at the veneer edges and grinding are bigger risks, so regular checkups and a night guard, if you grind, help protect the teeth underneath.
Is teeth whitening safe if I have sensitive teeth?
Many people with sensitive teeth can whiten under a dentist's care. The gel strength and contact time can be adjusted, and a desensitizing toothpaste beforehand often helps. Dr. Poles first checks for cavities, gum recession and worn enamel that could make sensitivity worse.
Can whitening change the color of my crowns or fillings?
No. Whitening gel only lightens natural enamel. Crowns, veneers and tooth-colored fillings keep their original shade. If you plan to whiten, it is usually wise to do it before new crowns or veneers are made, so they can be matched to your brighter teeth.
Does dental insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
Plans often treat purely cosmetic work, like whitening, differently from care that restores function, like a crown on a cracked tooth. Omni accepts most major dental plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental and MetLife, and coverage depends on your plan. Bring your insurance card and ask the front desk what yours covers.
How do I find a dentist for cosmetic work?
Look at real before and after photos, ask how shade and shape are planned, and check training. Dr. Poles has 22+ years in dentistry and is an AACD member. A first visit shows you how he plans before any tooth is changed.
