The Approach

How Dr. Atassi Plans Treatment.

Before recommending treatment, Dr. Atassi looks at the face, the smile, the bite, the position of the teeth, existing dental work, and what you would like to change. The treatment plan comes from that information.

Treatment  Planning

From the Face to the Tooth.

A smile is not planned one tooth at a time. Dr. Atassi looks first at how the teeth show when you speak and smile, then at proportion, position, color, the bite, and the condition of each tooth. Those details help determine whether the answer is aesthetic treatment, restorative treatment, or a combination.

The  Order

Different Problems Need Different Treatments.

If color is the concern, whitening may be enough. If tooth position needs to change, Invisalign can sometimes change the rest of the plan. If shape, proportion, or lost tooth structure still needs to be restored, bonding or porcelain can be used where it helps. There is no preset sequence for every patient.

Restorative  Dentistry

Keep Healthy Tooth Structure When You Can.

When a tooth can be restored with bonded dentistry instead of a full crown, that option matters. Dr. Atassi uses minimally invasive and biomimetic techniques to preserve healthy enamel and tooth structure whenever the case allows.

The  Case  That  Changed  His  Approach

A Different Way to Rebuild a Tooth.

During his UCLA residency, Dr. Atassi treated a difficult case using bonded, biomimetic restorations on teeth he initially doubted could be managed that way. The case continued to hold up on follow-up and changed how he thought about restorative dentistry. It became an early reason to look for ways to rebuild teeth while removing less of them.

Time

Some Dentistry Should Not Be Rushed.

Complex aesthetic and restorative treatment takes planning, try-ins, refinement, and time for each phase to settle. A veneer case, for example, may take at least 16 weeks, and more involved treatment can take longer.

Reviews

“Dr. Atassi quickly gained my trust when he showed his conservative dentistry”

“He did not try to convince me to get unnecessary work done or get 100 fillings replaced/redone like my previous dentist. … Dr. Atassi discovered that the pain was coming from a loose older filling and took care of it for me in under 20 minutes with 0 pain or discomfort.”

“Very high ethical standards”

“The doctor is not concerned with maximizing billings recommending expensive treatment to pump up his revenue. Instead Dr. Atassi and his hygienists focus on preventive care and education about how to avoid future dental problems.”

Connie BentzenGoogle Review

“Dr. Atassi is good at providing explanations to patients, which I feel is unique in healthcare”

“I like the idea of having a dentist that is not affiliated with a large chain where every other time I visit, I get a new dentist assigned to me. Contrarily, the experience is much more personalized at Chicago Dental Boutique.”
