We understand how difficult and uncomfortable it can be to have a smile that you want to hide because of certain imperfections. If you are self-conscious about your smile, ask us today about cosmetic dentistry in Hometown, Illinois. Our cosmetic treatments include:
Cosmetic dentistry is any set of procedures that are done to enhance the look, color and shape of a smile. Rather than focusing on functional or preventive measures, these cosmetic procedures are performed entirely with the purpose of improving the aesthetic appearance of a persons gums, teeth or bite.
There are many different cosmetic dentistry procedures. To brighten teeth, there is teeth whitening, veneers and tooth-colored fillings. For patients that are missing teeth, dental implants, bridges and crowns are a great option to restore these missing pieces of your smile. When teeth are not aligned properly, braces and other orthodontic aligners can move teeth into the proper place. Other techniques include enamel shaping, direct bonding and periodontal plastic surgery.
Anyone who is unhappy with their smile can benefit from a cosmetic dental procedure. For example, people who have chipped or broken teeth can receive crowns, bridges or dental implants to fix these unsightly areas. People with severely yellowed or grayed teeth can get their teeth whitened with a teeth bleaching procedure. Some patients may even be unhappy with the size of their teeth or gums, all of which can be corrected with veneers or gum reshaping.
Cosmetic dental work can improve your self-esteem and revitalize your confidence and appearance. This added self-worth may cause others to give you more respect, increasing your standing in your social and professional lives. Additionally, it can improve the way you eat and talk and provide you with better overall oral health.

I am very pleased with the dental care provided by Dr. Jhanji ... preventative, as well as routine care. He always takes great care, responds to all inquiries, always willing to explain every part of the dental procedure. Dr. Jhanji and his assistant, Liz, are very personable, yet always very professional. If you're looking for an excellent dentist who provides great care and is an expert within his field, Southwest Dental Center is the place for you.

On March 22, 2018 I went for my third visit With this dentist.After he started injecting me to numb my gums I started feeling lightheaded and felt like I was having a stroke. I also was starting to sweat and felt very hot. His assistance came in and took my blood pressure's and it was very very high I asked him to please call an ambulance. I was feeling the heaviness on my chest and the ambulance took me over to Little Company of Mary Hospital. The doctor told me I had a reaction to the injections. I told the doctor I was just at the dentist office 2 days earlier and had no problems with the injections. The doctor told me that the injection could have hit a Artery and then it went into your system to fast. Also the dentist office never offer to call family or friend for me. His office called me the next day but I've never talk to the dentist all they asked me was when do I want to reschedule. This experience cost Me Some money to pay for the ambulance and hospital bills. I've been to two different dentist after This incident and have had no problems. The worst part he keeps sending me a bill which just went to a collection agency and i noticed the other people that gave negatve results had responce but not mine Still getting calls from collection agency and this is 2022

Dr Jhanji is the ABSOLUTE BEST! He's extremely knowledgeable about dentistry and the overall health of your mouth. He takes his time to explain any procedure you may be getting from a simple cleaning, filling or whatever it may be. He makes certain you're comfortable and understand what he's about to do, or need to do. And it doesn't stop there, once he's done, he provides the required steps to optimize your dental health between visits. I use to be afraid to go to the dentist. And now, I know I'm in the best hands with Dr Jhanji. He genuinely cares about his patients! I had the pleasure of meeting his daughter, and it's crystal clear not only is he a GREAT DENTIST! He's a Great Dad! And his Assistant Elizabeth is also very caring and amazing. If you're afraid to go to the Dentist or just looking for a good Dentist, look no further!!!! He's the G.O.A T.:-)

Have been to this dental office numerous times after being duped at other offices. Dr. Jhanji and Liz always make sure they inform me completely of what's being done. It's nice when the doctors office actually calls and checks in with you after any procedures. I am so happy I came across this office!

I have been going to Dr. Jhanji for about twenty five years for all of my dental work. I can tell you that for sure you will not find a better Dentist anywhere. So I do not want to sound redundant, but I just have to say it again. Why settle for second best when you can have the best! Many thanks to Dr. Jhanji and his assistant "Liz"!

Dr Jhanji is a gem. He helps you feel comfortable, and in safe hands! The staff is helpful, and friendly. Liz, and sorry, forgot other's name. All are wonderful. They will help you reach your dental needs, and help you find the right financing available. A true professional, and he knows his business. And has the highest standards in your best interest. Not pushy to do things other than the issue you are dealing with. So I will be going back for preventative care because of that. Thank you!
