We take a holistic approach to your oral health with general dentistry in our Chicago and Arlington Heights office. We want to treat existing issues and also prevent potential problems. Our dedicated team addresses a wide array of dental concerns, from routine cleanings to complex treatment plans.
Key Aspects of General Dentistry
Our complete approach to dental care means we look at the big picture. We take the time to understand the full picture of each patient. Before any treatment, we’ll talk about your medical history, lifestyle, and dental needs. General treatments are part of our services to maintain your health and stop any problems from getting worse.
Family Dentistry
We offer family dentistry services for children and adults. Our office offers treatments like routine check-ups, cleanings, and fillings. Dr. Radziszewski understands the unique needs of every stage of life to make care convenient for the whole family. Regular visits help keep everyone’s teeth healthy.
Preventative Care
We believe in the power of prevention. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings play a key role to keep your teeth and gums healthy. During these visits, our team can spot early signs of cavities, gum disease, or other dental issues before they become serious. Preventive visits also give us a chance to guide daily oral hygiene habits.
Dental Cleaning
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of regular hygiene re-care visits. Our highly qualified dental hygienists are here to teach you the importance of regular dental checkups. They also provide guidance on good oral hygiene habits and ways to prevent gum disease. Here at Dazzling Dentistry your re-care visit is not just a cleaning. We provide personalized care to every patient.
Comprehensive Diagnostics
We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to assess your oral health. From digital X-rays to exams, we leave no stone unturned in understanding your dental needs. If you need treatment, our team will develop personalized plans designed for you.
Sealants
Your molars have deep grooves and tiny pits that are hard to clean with a toothbrush. Because the bristles can’t reach into these narrow spaces, plaque can build up and cause cavities over time.
Sealants provide an easy way to protect these teeth. We can brush a thin, protective coating onto the surface of the molars so plaque and food particles can’t get trapped. Sealants are most effective when applied we apply them as soon as the first permanent molars come in around ages 5 to 6.
Fluoride Therapy
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen and rebuild tooth enamel that may have been weakened by acids or bacteria. Strong enamel is your first defense against cavities and tooth sensitivity.
We offer professional fluoride treatments after your routine dental cleanings. We brush a varnish on the teeth to lower the chance of future cavities.
Dental Lasers
Laser dentistry uses focused light to treat dental issues with precision and less discomfort. We often use it for gum disease, and cavity treatment. Lasers help you heal quickly and have minimal bleeding compared to traditional methods. Dental lasers are also more comfortable so you won’t feel pain.
Custom Mouthguards
A custom mouthguard provides a perfect fit for better protection if you play sports or grind your teeth at night.Unlike store-bought versions, these mouthguards are made specifically for your mouth. They can stop injuries to your teeth and jaw and protect against long-term damage.
Tooth Extraction
We may recommend a tooth extraction to remove a damaged or problematic tooth. Our office will only recommend removing severely decayed, infected, or overcrowded teeth. Our team also uses local anesthesia for your comfort. Removing the tooth helps protect your overall oral health. Then we can discuss options for replacement if needed.
Emergency Dentistry
Emergency dental care provides quick solutions for urgent dental problems like severe pain, broken teeth, or infections. We address immediate needs to relieve discomfort. Common dental emergencies we see include knocked-out teeth, abscesses, and extreme toothaches. Quick treatment can save a tooth and stop the issue from getting worse.
Root Canal Treatment
You need root canal treatment or endodontic therapy when a cavity reaches all the way to the pulp (nerve). Sometimes, deep restorations or trauma to a tooth can damage the nerve to the point that it needs root canal therapy. Once the pulp becomes infected it can extend through the root tip and begin to eat away at the surrounding bone. This is an abscess.
You need to treat the infected pulp because it cannot heal on its own. It can even weaken the entire immune system. This is dangerous and very painful. Symptoms that the pulp has become infected may include sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, sweets, or biting pressure, pain, swelling, and a bad taste in the mouth.
Many patients may be unaware of any problem until a checkup. Then we perform a root canal to clean out the infected tooth pulp and disinfect the canals of the tooth. The only other treatment would be to extract the tooth.
Then we fill the canals. After root canal therapy, you may need a restoration to close the opening. We’ll evaluate the tooth and determine what restoration is needed. Usually, you need a filling, an overlay, or a crown.
Dental Fillings
A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. If you have a tooth that requires a filling, we first remove the decayed tooth material. Then we clean the affected area and fill the cleaned-out cavity.
At Dazzling Dentistry, we use the highest quality composite material for long-lasting restorations. Composite resins are custom-made to the exact color of your teeth. For durability, we use the Bioclear system for all overlays, making the filling nearly undetectable.

Why You Should Care About Oral Health
When you take care of your smile with a good routine, you can improve your overall health and well-being. You can also prevent dental issues with the right routine. Improving your dental health comes with many benefits:
- Better Overall Health: Research shows that poor oral health is connected to your physical health. For example, you may have a higher chance of heart disease, diabetes, or respiratory infections. Taking care of your oral health can contribute to overall better health and reduce the risk of certain diseases.
- Better Confidence: A healthy and attractive smile can also boost your confidence and self-esteem. Good oral health generally leads to a bright, clean smile that you can confidently share with others. This can also improve your mental wellness.
- Better Function: Good oral hygiene is one of the most best things you can do for your teeth and gums. Strong and well-aligned teeth help you chew your food properly to help you digest. They also support clear speech to give you confidence when you smile or talk. If you lose, chip, or crack a tooth, it can affect how you eat, speak, and even how your jaw feels. It can also change the way your other teeth fit together.
Daily dental care can stop problems before they develop. Between regular dental visits, take these simple steps to reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues. These include:
- Brush thoroughly twice a day and floss daily
- Eat a balanced diet and limit snacks between meals
- Use dental products that contain fluoride like toothpaste
- Rinse with a fluoride mouth rinse
Of course, we also recommend routine dental care. Our registered dental hygienists (RDHs) will carefully remove harmful bacteria that build up over time. We can also provide helpful tips on how to take care of your teeth and gums at home.
