Pediatric Dentistry

Your First Visit

Please try to arrive early for the first visit. We would like you to spend a few moments filling out the health questionnaire before we see your child. This is necessary if we are to provide the best possible care.

A Special Office

You will notice that the office is especially designed to make both parent and child feel comfortable and relaxed. We want you to feel free to ask any questions you may think of, and we're open to your suggestions or constructive comments.

Emergency Care

Our office calls are answered 24 hours a day. Emergencies will be given prompt attention. Please don't hesitate to call us if you need our assistance.

For Special People

We only treat infants, children and adolescents. The best possible care for your child requires special training and equipment. We wouldn't think of compromising our dedication to children. If you need a referral for adult dentistry, we will be glad to supply you with names of reputable general dentists. The office is also equipped to care for patients who are chronically ill or disabled.

Consultations

Occasionally, consultation with other dental or medical specialists may be necessary. Our affiliation with Northwest Community Hospital, Northwestern University, Loyola University and Children's Memorial Hospital provides us with the finest health resources in the midwest.

Prevention

The most important goal of pediatric dentistry is prevention. With today's dentistry, almost all dental decay can be prevented. We will use every preventive measure to assure the least number of cavities for your child. Attention to the growth and development to your child's lower face and jaw is equally important. Many orthodontic problems can be prevented if diagnosed and treated early.

Appointments

Our office appointment philosophy is simple. We will always attempt to be on time for you because we realize that your time is also important. However, due to emergencies, there may occasionally be a delay. We will try to telephone you to allow you the option of arriving later or rescheduling. If it appears that you may be late, please call us so we can accommodate everyone. Also, please allow us 24 hours notice for cancellations so that someone else may use that time.

Insurance

In order to avoid the additional paperwork, we ask that you pay your bill at the time services are rendered. This will allow us to keep our fees as low as possible. We file your insurance claims electronically every night so reimbursement is very quick. Patients with an established history at the practice and with reputable dental insurance will only need to pay their portion of the fees (co-pay). Of course, on occasion, unusual financial circumstances may arise. If there is some type of financial problem, please let us know promptly so arrangements can be made. For your convenience, Master Card, Visa, and American Express are accepted.

Orthodontics

Our office provides the most up to date orthodontic treatment with the same caring and devotion that is provided to our Pediatric Dental patients. Special need patients and adults are also treated by the Orthodontists in the practice.
