Our Services
Routine Exams & Cleaning
Comprehensive exams and thorough dental cleanings to diagnose any problems and maintain an ideal oral health
Fillings
Aesthetic, tooth-colored fillings for the replacement of simple cavities
Crowns & Veneers
Individually designed crowns and veneers to repair any functional or aesthetic damage to your teeth
Dental Implants
We are experts in replacing a single missing tooth up to ‘All-on-4’ or ‘Teeth in a day’ - In general, the 'Teeth in a day' concept can be very misleading for patients. As a specialist in this procedure, please call to schedule a consult with Dr. Zurek so he can best explain what the process is and if you are a good candidate for this type of therapy.
Smile Makeover
As a prosthodontist, my work provides the highest level of aesthetics dentistry can offer. Prosthodontics is considered the pinnacle of aesthetic training in dentistry, and is very different than what is simply known as ‘cosmetic dentistry’
Preventative Care
In addition to fixing just about any dental problems, we also are very involved with preventative treatment to help avoid any potential dental issues.

‘Dr. Alec Zurek is my hero! I had a disaster going on with my teeth, and he fixed everything! My new teeth are absolutely beautiful, and everyone remarks on how great they look. I went to him with little hope that anything could be done, but he proved me wrong. During the process, he explained everything in detail, and answered all my questions. Not only that, but his manner of dealing with me was kind and positive. When I look at my before-and-after photos, I’m amazed and so happy. And his staff is great – it was a pleasure to deal with them, and they always made me feel comfortable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Zurek to anybody, especially people who are “complicated” cases like me. You guys all rock!!!’

‘I’ve been seeing Dr. Zurek (Sr) for over a decade, and Dr. Zurek (Jr) for the last few years since he joined the practice. They’ve taken excellent care of both myself and our whole family. They always discuss anything that’s going on in-depth and keep you informed about your dental care. The office has also been quite flexible with life’s last-minute changes, and very much maintains the feel of a family practice in the best ways, as opposed to a larger, more corporate healthcare system. Highly recommended!’

★★★★★ 5 Stars‘I am so glad I was referred to Prosthodontist, Dr Alec at Ascend dental! He was the coolest dentist I’ve ever had for sure. He was extremely patient and kind, and made sure I understood everything before and during my appointments. I first met Kristi over the phone and she was so helpful and friendly which really helped motivate me to take the hour + drive out to Naperville for the consultation! I’m extremely happy with the work I had done here. Very long procedure but it was done right and I was made to feel very comfortable. It was well worth the drives to see him! Thank you again Dr Zurek!! ‘
