You don’t have to settle. When you work with a top cosmetic dentist like Dr Sam Simos (who’s taught cosmetic dentistry to other dentists for over 20 years), you’ll notice right away there’s a difference.

Get lasting confidence from a trusted cosmetic dentistry expert
Did you know that the majority of dental schools don’t teach comprehensive courses in cosmetic dentistry or dental implants? Most people don’t.
Hi, I’m Dr. Sam Simos, and I help people in and near Chicago, and around the country, renew their confidence.
As a long-time clinical instructor, speaker, and author, I teach other dentists how to do implants and cosmetic dentistry right.
I always say, your mouth is not the place for on the job training. While the average dentist may see only a handful of porcelain dental veneers or cosmetic cases in a year, I’ve seen hundreds.
It’s this level of experience that ensures–even before you see the final results–you’ll get a smile that’s second to none.
No matter what’s been holding you back with your smile, let’s get it right together. So you can smile effortlessly, and feel confident again.

Porcelain veneers and 'instant orthodontics'
Close gaps + correct misaligned teeth
If you’ve had dental work before that didn’t go well, it’s normal to hesitate before trying again. That’s why working with an experienced cosmetic dentistry or dental implants expert is a must.
One cosmetic solution you might be thinking about is dental veneers, also known as porcelain veneers. They can be used to close gaps, correct crowded or misaligned teeth, and even brighten stained teeth that are resistant to whitening.
So what exactly are porcelain veneers? Bonded directly to the surface of the teeth, dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain laminates. In as few as 2 appointments, we can transform your smile with porcelain veneers.
“Allstar Implants Plus has truly been a life changer for me. Through the years I struggled with other dentists trying to make improvements, but never satisfied. My first visit with Dr. Simos, I know this was not going to be another failed attempt.
I now have a smile I can be proud of. No more hiding. Dr. Simos, you’ve turned my frown upside down! Thanks!”
– Mary W.
Straighten teeth without braces
If you’re like most adults, the idea of 1 – 3 years of traditional wire braces to straighten your smile is just not a real consideration. Happily, there can be another option.
Depending on your bite, all porcelain dental veneers can aesthetically straighten your smile. What’s more, we can also enhance the shape, shade and countours of your teeth with this cosmetic dentistry.
No wonder so many feel that an investment in dental veneers and cosmetic dentistry pays a lifetime of dividends.
“Having braces as a child, I knew I didn’t want to go down that path again, but I was self-conscious about my shifted teeth.
I found Dr. Simos and he was just as particular about my smile as I was. I love my new smile! My family and friends can’t believe the difference in me. Thank you!”

FAQ cosmetic dentist near Chicago, IL
What is cosmetic dentistry, and how can it improve my smile?
Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental work that improves or enhances the look of your teeth, gums, and bite. Improvement in the aesthetics of your smile, specifically the shape, color, position, size, alignment and overall smile appearance, is the focus of cosmetic dentistry.
Important to note is that many regular dentists refer to themselves as a “cosmetic dentist,” regardless of their specific education, post-graduate training, and level of experience in this field.
For this reason, Dr. Sam Simos—well-known clinical instructor, author and speaker on dental implants and cosmetic dentistry—states that it’s essential to be sure that the dentist you choose for porcelain veneers or other cosmetic dentistry solutions has had years of post-graduate (i.e. education after dental school) training and experience.
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost?
Like you might expect, the cost of your cosmetic dentistry treatment will vary depending on the options included — porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, whitening, and dental implants each have different price points.
At your consultation, Dr. Sam Simos will explain your options and provide upfront pricing, so you know exactly what to expect.
Are dental veneers the same as porcelain veneers?
Dental veneers refer to a layer of material that’s placed over the natural tooth. In some cases (primarily for adolescents whose teeth and bone structure are not yet full grown) a veneer will be made of composite material that’s bonded to the natural tooth. This type of treatment is intended to be short term, with a lifespan of approximately four years.
For adults, all porcelain veneers for adults are ultra-thin, porcelain laminates that cover the tooth surface, are highly stain resistant, and are generally used for aesthetic purposes.
In the hands of a highly skilled and experienced cosmetic dentist, porcelain veneers can be used to correct a variety of smile defects.
They can straighten your smile, close gaps between teeth, correct crowding or misshapen teeth, and eliminate staining (like tetracycline stains), to give you the smile you’ve wanted in as few as two visits.
How long do cosmetic dental treatments last?
Cosmetic dental treatments, like porcelain veneers and crowns–including implant crowns–have the potential to last a lifetime. Like your natural teeth, the underlying tooth structure of your porcelain restoration is still susceptible to infection (or in the case of a dental implant, the jawbone around it), as well as fractures caused by accidents or the forces of your bite.
Additional factors related to longevity include the skill of the cosmetic dentist in the initial design and placement of your porcelain veneers or crowns, as well as proper home care and periodic professional in-office cleanings.
Are dental implants considered cosmetic dentistry?
Yes, they can be. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your overall smile. If you have one or more implants placed to restore missing teeth as part of enhancing your smile, you can certainly consider this as cosmetic.
In addition to the placement of dental implants to restore missing teeth, cosmetic dentistry can also include porcelain veneers and crowns, porcelain bridges (including implant bridges), tooth colored fillings, cosmetic bonding, laser gum sculpting and whitening.
Because of this, people often find that they have to travel to different offices and see multiple dentists, who just do one part of their treatment.
An highly skilled expert like Dr Sam Simos, with proven experience in cosmetic dentistry–including dental implants–can take care of you from start to finish all in one place.
Will my smile still look natural after cosmetic work?
Yes — every treatment is designed to enhance your natural features. Whether you’re going for subtle or bold changes, your results will be tailored to your face shape, skin tone, and personal style.
Is cosmetic dentistry only for front teeth?
Nope. While many treatments focus on the visible parts of your smile, options like reshaping, bonding, or full makeovers can address both front and back teeth, depending on your needs.
How long does it take to see results with cosmetic dentistry?
Some results are immediate — like whitening or bonding. Others, like veneers or full smile makeovers, may take a couple of visits. We’ll walk you through the timeline during your consultation.
Do dental veneers cause dark lines at gums?
Dark gum lines are seen when metal is used in a veneer or crown restoration. By using metal free, all porcelain veneers or crowns for your smile, you’ll eliminate the unattractive dark line on your gums that results from the underlying metal.
Additionally, when bonded to your teeth, your all porcelain veneers or crowns serve to strengthen your underlying tooth structure, let light shine through, and provide a naturally beautiful result, that’s not dull or flat like you see with metal-based restorations.
Am I a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
If you’re unhappy with your smile — whether it’s the color, shape, size, or alignment of your teeth — cosmetic dentistry might be a great fit. The best way to know is to come in, talk it through, and explore your options.
