A BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY SMILE is an essential component of wellness. Our smile says something about who we are and the life we are living. Personal health and hygiene is the number one reason for regular trips to the dentist, but Lake Forest Dental Arts places equal emphasis on the professional and interpersonal role of a great smile. It is our smile that we offer to others. Our smile communicates in every language on earth and invites people to trust … to care… to work for and with us.

ABOUT OUR DENTAL PRACTICE
Our Chicago area dental practice has a primary focus on comprehensive aesthetic care and offers general dentistry, therapy for bite related TMJ, and prosthodontic services such as porcelain crowns, veneers, and implants. Utilizing world class ceramists, the finest materials, and other highly respected medical and dental specialists, we provide comprehensive general and esthetic dentistry and artistic smile design. Dr. Fondriest works in partnership with you to create a smile more reflective of nature and not perceived by others as artificial.
THE ART OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Cosmetic dentistry is based in science but significantly expresses itself as an artistic discipline. In this way it is similar to plastic surgery. Each patient receives treatment offerings designed specifically for them. As every individual's vision of "beautiful" is different, each of the cases featured on this website varies in brightness, contour, texture, and translucency based on each patient's individual preferences. Instead of a rubber stamp look, we strive to make every smile "uniquely your own".
Our discriminating clients come from throughout the United States, seeking the expert smile design talents and comprehensive approach offered by Dr. Fondriest. Some of these clients come to improve their smile appeal, others to restore their teeth to health and full comfortable function. Many come to our practice to have existing dentistry redone or upgraded.
THE GOAL OF OUR PRACTICE is to realize a shared vision of uncompromised excellence in dentistry.
To fulfill this mission, we are committed to:
- Truly listening to those we are privileged to serve
- Ensuring a friendly and compassionate environment
- Exceeding your expectations with creative and individualized treatment solutions
- Taking you, our patient partners to a place you have not been before in health, beauty, self-confidence and full ownership of your dental health decisions
