Chicago Cosmetic Dentist

Dr. Paul Landman has a long list of credentials, cosmetic dentist awards, and achievements that have positioned him as a respected leader within the world of cosmetic dentistry. He is a founding member, fellow, and past president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and a current member of the editorial board of Reality, the information source for esthetic dentistry. He is also a fellow of the American Society for Dental Aesthetics, member of the International Academy of Dental Facial Esthetics, and is a diplomat of the American Board of Aesthetic Dentistry.

But all of these credentials and honors mean nothing if we can't make your smile beautiful. That is why Dr. Paul Landman and his daughter, Dr. Carole Landman, offer their beautiful smile guarantee for every smile makeover. When you come to us for your new smile, we will discuss thoroughly what your preferences are for smile design, color, and the impression you want to create with your smile. Then, before that makeover is permanently bonded to your teeth, you will get a chance to look at it carefully and be sure that it measures up to your expectations. If it doesn't, it will go back to the ceramist for revision or remaking until you love it.

If you are in any way unhappy with the appearance of your smile, let us help you. We can straighten your teeth with Invisalign, or make them look straight with porcelain veneers. With dental bonding, we can eliminate the appearance of chips or cracks, erase staining or discoloration, or brighten your smile until it is perfect. From dental bonding, teeth whitening, or Invisalign, to complete smile makeovers with porcelain veneers, we can help you feel better about the way you look by giving you the best smile possible.

What is a Cosmetic Dentist?

Every individual that graduates from dental school is considered a general dentist. Drs. Paul and Carole Landman are licensed as general dentists. What sets them apart is their passion for appearance-related dentistry. They're artistic by nature, and they have pursued that extra training that is required to learn how to manipulate color and how to use high-tech bonding materials and porcelains. To create lifelike smiles, a cosmetic dentist needs to master translucency, other color issues, and the effect that surface texture has on the perceived color. The bonding agents used in cosmetic dentistry are complex chemicals. The composites and porcelains used all have different reflective and refractive properties. All of these elements must be mastered in order to create a natural-looking result.

And they have that commitment to beauty that drives them to want to create a work of art for you, so that you will have a smile you want the world to see. Very few dentists have that passion to that degree. Dr. Paul Landman has pursued this passion so intensely over the years, that he is one of about fifty dentists in the world who have earned the credential Accredited Fellow in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

All of these skills are applied with one end in mind - to create a smile that you recognize as beautiful. This is also a major difference between general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry. Most dentists are trained to fix things that are broken. To them, the mouth is an engineering project. To Drs. Paul and Carole Landman, however, they are treating your self-perception. It's a totally different approach. If you don't love your smile when they are done, the treatment is a failure.
