One Stop Oral Health.

The benefit of having an all encompassing and autonomous dental facility is that you only have to go to one place for all of your procedures.

Too often, the dental and medical communities are divided into sects. Sects that cause you, the patient, to have conflicting advice and information regarding your oral health. You may have to see a dentist who happens to think your orthodontist is making a hasty decision by removing your child’s braces. Or maybe your orthodontist thinks that your dentist isn;t a good practitioner. Or, they are buddies and give each other business, without regard for your needs.

At Blackman & Bliss, we have under one roof--all of your dental, orthodontic, and surgical capabilities one mouth could ever need!

Communication isn’t an issue here. Our dental professionals are all on the same page. That page is your oral health and happiness.

If you haven’t seen us lately-- make an appointment today! We’d love to see you.

Save Your Teeth. Get A Custom Fit Mouth-Guard

When the kids are going back to school, it is a smart investment to get your child fitted for a mouth guard if he or she plans on playing sports. Mouthguards aren’t reserved for only contact sports, they can be remarkably effective in preventing or lessening oral injuries.


Basketball may not seem like a contact sport, but a wayward elbow thrown, a spill taken, a rebound sought, all can end up in dental disaster.


This fall, before your child starts playing their sport, talk to our Dental professionals about a custom fit mouthguard. Statistics have shown that they can be instrumental in the difference between a sore lip and missing teeth. A custom fit mouthpiece is discreet and costs next to nothing. The amount of money it will save in dental repair is what makes it such a sound investment. And for near pennies you can avoid thousands of dollars of damage.


Before the whistle blows, talk to our professionals about a custom fit mouthguard. A small investment that goes a long way.

Instilling Great Dental Habits In Your Child.

Dental care starts day one. Before we even have teeth, we have to treat our gums right. For a great way to instill great dental habits in your child, here are a few tips.
Want to prevent your child from developing tooth decay? Want to eliminate the bacteria known to cause it?
Follow stringent dental care practices, and you can drastically reduce the bacteria present in the mouth, cutting the risk of tooth decay significantly. Fortunately, this is not a difficult goal, if you follow these simple dental care steps:



1. Avoid giving young children sweetened beverages, sugary snacks, or a large number of snacks throughout the day.
2. Never dip pacifiers in honey as a way to calm your baby.
3. Do not allow an infant to fall asleep with a bottle.
4. Do not share utensils or cups with your children to avoid spreading the bacteria in your own mouth to theirs.
5. Help small children brush their teeth properly to ensure good oral health over the long term.
6. Supervise your children's brushing sessions.
7. Make sure they have the right type of toothpaste.
8. Flossing is important for older children, to eliminate food particles that can easily lead to the tooth decay.

Cosmetic Dentistry Is Now Affordable For Nearly Everyone In Chicagoland.

Your smile says a lot about you. At Blackman and Bliss DDS, we offer not only general dentistry but also cosmetic dentistry. When some folks hear "cosmetic dentistry" they immediately associate it with plastic surgery: "an unattainable option reserved solely for the wealthy"--not true.
Cosmetic dentistry has made great strides in the advancement of dental technology. We can do for your smile what used to be available to only the Hollywood elite. It used to cost in excess of 30 thousand dollars ,in many cases,for people to get a smile like Denzel Washington.

With the advancement and quality of veneers and lumineers, a Hollywood smile is available to you right here in Carol Stream, Illinois!-- and you don't have to star in a movie to get them!

We accept all major credit cards, insurance providers, and our professionals will work with you to find a payment plan that best suits your needs.

Your smile says so much about you. Think of them as the picket fence that adorns your mouth. Sure, thinking of wooden teeth isn't exactly where you thought this article was headed, but here's the metaphor-- If that picket fence were worn and weathered, you would mend it and paint it, thus improving the quality of your home and yard (mouth and face). And ultimately your home's overall value (your self esteem and quality of life).

So, let's mend that fence. It's a lot easier than you think and much more affordable than you can imagine. It probably is more affordable than a picket fence. Those run steep and aren't made of porcelain. Porcelain lasts longer than wood.

Hope your'e not lost in the metaphors. The short of it is, fix your smile today and improve the rest of your life. A smile is a terrible thing to hide!
