Welcome!

We are passionate about our patients being proud of their beautiful, healthy smiles. Our team includes two Board-Certified Prosthodontists and a General Dentist with over 30 years of clinical experience. A prosthodontist is a dental specialist with an extra three years of training to restore missing, heavily damaged, and unaesthetic teeth. Our extensive experience includes work with dental implants, crowns, veneers, permanent-fitting implant dentures, and all other dental prostheses to best restore any dental condition. It is important that your dental team is comfortable with all aspects of dentistry in order to provide the best personalized smile for you.

If you are unhappy with your smile, have broken teeth, or are missing one or all of your teeth, we have a comfortable and highly aesthetic solution for you. Please see our smile gallery for examples of how we restored some of the most compromised smiles in the Chicagoland area.

We love to talk about teeth, so please do not hesitate to call us about any concerns you have. We would be happy to personally answer any and all of your questions.

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.
