Partnering with Patients for Better, Longer-Lasting Oral Health

Achieving and protecting your oral health is a process that takes time and attention. We need a firm understanding of all potential factors that could be influencing your smile, such as genetics, lifestyle habits, and diet. Dr. Schaefer also believes that the journey towards achieving lasting oral health isn’t something you can rush through and, to get there, patients must partner with full participation.

Our Cook County dentist makes sure appointments allow time to discuss your care openly and honestly. From the very beginning, Dr. Schaefer encourages you to ask questions, share your concerns, voice your expectations, and be fully involved in planning your treatment.

As your dedicated holistic dentist, Dr. Scheafer’s goal is to provide lifelong personalized care for you and your family. When educating patients, both young and old, we practice strong and respectful communication using age-appropriate, easy-to-understand language.

Our Services

We feel very strongly that "your health care is self care". Without the patients' full participation, the finest results cannot be achieved.
We believe our patients should be well informed about the various materials that are available for restoration: gold, composite, and amalgam.
For the safety of our clients and ourselves we have supplied the office with the latest techniques in digital imaging which reduces everyone's exposure, on average by 85%.
We explain all treatment plans possible, inform you about the pros and cons, and give you the freedom to choose the plan of action that makes you feel most comfortable.
We have incorporated the use of a laser called Diagnodent which is able to detect decay on any surface it can touch, without the use of an x-ray.
