Frequently asked questions
Do you offer pediatric dentistry?
Yes — we provide pediatric dental care as a general and family dental practice, and we treat children of every age. We are not a board-certified pediatric specialty office; if your child needs treatment beyond our scope, we will refer you to a specialist we trust.
When should my child first see a dentist?
We care for patients of every age, from a child’s first visit through their golden years. Bring your child in as soon as you have a concern, and otherwise for a routine cleaning and exam every six months.
Can you complete the Illinois school dental form?
Yes. We perform the school dental exams required by the State of Illinois for kindergarten, 2nd, 6th, and 9th grade students, and complete the Proof of School Dental Examination Form.
Will my child see the same people each visit?
Almost always. We are a small practice, so children tend to see familiar faces at every appointment — which makes the visit easier for them and for you.
Ready to schedule your visit?
Most insurance accepted — we’ll verify your benefits and file the claim for you.
