About
Dental care that explains itself first: what we found, what your options are and what each one costs.
At Wells Street Dental, six general dentists see families, students and older adults. Every visit starts with an exam and a plain explanation.
From check-ups to fillings, crowns and aligners, your dentist tells you what they found and what you can do about it before anything starts. You decide, and you can ask for a written estimate first.

What patients say
In their own words.
“I cracked a tooth on a weekend and called first thing Monday. They fit me in that day, explained what had happened and what my options were, and the front desk told me the cost before we started.”
Mackenzie FlynnChicago, IL
“I'd put off the dentist for years because I get nervous. I said so at the front desk, and my dentist went slowly and stopped whenever I asked.”
Bailey KirbyEvanston, IL
“My aligners took several months. At every check-in my dentist showed me how my teeth were moving and answered all my questions.”
Ricardo GarridoOak Park, IL
“My daughter had her first visit here and my husband had a crown. Both of them got the same patient explanation, and the kids don't dread coming.”
Laurie WhelanNaperville, IL

Mei ChenSkokie, IL

Common questions
Before your first visit.
01What treatments do you provide?
Check-ups and cleanings, fillings and crowns, cosmetic care, braces and aligners, extractions, root canals and children’s visits. All of our dentists are general dentists.
02How often should I have a check-up?
Many patients come every six months. Your dentist decides how often you need an exam, X-rays and a cleaning, and tells you why.
03Will it hurt?
We numb the area first, and most people feel pressure rather than pain. Tell us if anything hurts and we stop, and tell us when you book if you are nervous.
04How do I choose the right treatment?
At your exam your dentist goes through what they found and the options, including waiting. You get a plan in writing and decide at your own pace.
05What should I know before a cosmetic treatment?
Your dentist examines your teeth first, then explains the options, the risks and the upkeep. Results vary, and whitening and bonding may need touch-ups.
06Do you take my insurance?
It depends on your plan, so call us with your plan details and we check your benefits before your visit. If you pay yourself, you can ask for a written estimate in advance.
