Are you self conscious about your smile because its starting to look a bit yellowed? Diet, medications, and other factors can result in teeth that are not as pearly white as youd like them to be, which is why were happy to offer professional teeth whitening here at our office. A brighter smile is achievable with the treatments we offer, which can be tailored to better suit your needs and lifestyle. If you need a confidence boost and would like to consider teeth whitening, reach out to our dental team in New Lenox, IL to find out more!
For the best results following your whitening treatment(s), consider amending any habits that might be contributing to your tooth discoloration. It isnt always possible to prevent discoloration depending on your personal experience, but a few lifestyle changes can certainly help!
We can have take-home whitening trays custom made just for you. All you need to do is add the whitening gel/solution we provide to the trays and put them on, then wear them overnight or for an extended amount of time (depending on the type of solution you have for your trays).
Zoom is a popular bleaching process that helps to lighten discoloration of the dentin and tooth enamel. The light used to bleach the teeth breaks down the hydrogen peroxide solution on your teeth, sending oxygen into the enamel and dentin to help bleach any stains without harming the structure or integrity of the tooth itself.
The goal of orthodontics is to give you a healthy, functional bite (and a more attractive smile). When your teeth and jaw are not aligned properly, this affects your bite, which can lead to function problems (such as difficulty chewing and speaking), along with damage to the teeth themselves. At Lincolnway Dental Associates, we can provide orthodontic treatment to people of all ages to correct alignment issues and improve their quality of life.
Having a healthy, functional bite is extremely important for children, and they should start seeing an orthodontist by age 7 to address any tooth and jaw problems before they can get worse. With orthodontics, we can treat alignment problems as your child is growing to improve their facial proportions and prevent future issues such as:
While we tend to associate orthodontics with adolescents and teenagers, a good percentage of orthodontic patients are in fact adults! Here are some reasons you may want to see our team for orthodontic treatment:

Dr Leesa Mitsos is the best!! She came into her office today, on a Saturday at dinner time to rescue me. My crown had fallen off a front tooth implant ( not even her work) hours before my annual family reunion that I had to miss last year due to CoVid. She is so kind and gentle. Thanks Dr. Mitsos for once again coming to my rescue!

Dr. Leesa Mitsos, Erika Paolella, Angelika Chrobok & the rest of the team are simply the BEST! Their customer service is outstanding. You never have to wait long & they don't overbook appointments. The staff provides the basic cleaning, x-rays, & than Dr. Mitsos gives an overview or treatment if necessary. Dr. Mitsos always answers any questions you may have & puts your mind at ease. If you are looking for an exceptional dentist I recommend Dr. Mitsos!

Made an emergency appointment with Dr. Mitsos because my little Brother was in pain. My brother is a special needs child with down syndrome so he rarely expresses when he's feeling pain. Dr. Mitsos is very patient and kind. She made him feel comfortable and relaxed. She is professional and works in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her to other people.

I've always been scared of the dentist and very jumpy when it comes to sitting in the dental chair. Dr. Mitsos gave me a whole new experience as soon as I walked in the door! Her staff was so nice and I was greeted by Angelika. She made me feel warm and welcome; when I got back to see Dr. Mitsos she was so friendly and put all my anxiety to ease. She made me feel comfortable and not scared to go to the dentist anymore. I will definitely be returning to Dr. Mitsos dental office and making her my primary care provider! Excellent experience, I would recommend Dr. Mitsos to everyone I know!

Dr. Mitsos is the most professional dentist I have been to she is always so nice to her patients and really cares for them. I had a tooth that caused a lot of pain and she took time out of her Sunday to help me I wish I could give her 10 stars instead of just 5.

I was traveling through Chicago and chipped a filling in my sleep. I didn't know any dentist in the area and saw this place was close, so I went. Dr. Mitsos took me in right away and repaired my filling! In less then an hour, I was back to my vacation. Thanks Dr. Mitsos!!!

Dr. Mitsos is a breathe of fresh air! The BEST dentist I have ever been visited. I came to Dr. Leesa in pain with my mouth all swollen. She was able to see me as an emergency patient outside of office hours for my first visit. Dr. Leesa pulled my tooth and relived me of all my pain. God bless this woman, my new dentist for life!!!
