Main Menu

For nearly 30 years, Chicago dentist Dr. Irene Theodore has devoted her practice to providing a comfortable, unintimidating and animated environment. While dentistry will always be a blend of science and artistry requiring a devotion to detail and craftsmanship, in our office, it always begins with a smile.

Importance of Preventive Dentistry

Routine visits to the dentist help us intercept problems in the earliest stage and promote the highest level of dental health. If we see signs of instability, we can help you avoid bigger problems down the road with conservative treatment options and techniques to maintain your oral health at home.

Dental Cleaning & Routine Exams

When you visit our Chicago dentist office, you will receive a comprehensive dental cleaning and examination. The American Dental Association recommends that children and adults have two professional dental cleanings per year. Some patients may need more frequent cleanings. Dr. Theodore will evaluate your smile and determine the hygiene schedule that is right for you. A routine exam may include:

Checking for tooth decay and fractures
Charting existing tooth conditions and restorations
Periodontal screening to check for signs of gum disease
Oral cancer screening
Occlusal and TMJ evaluation
Digital dental x-rays when needed

Preventing Gum Disease

According to The American Dental Association (ADA), 7 out of 10 adults have some form of gum disease. When left untreated, gum disease can contribute to missing teeth as well as other health concerns like diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Regular visits to Dr. Theodore's office can help to reduce the build up of plaque and tartar and prevent the spread of gum disease. Learn more about periodontal therapy

Making Chicago Smile

Dr. Pete and Kelly C.

"Dr. Theodore and her staff have been a part of my family's dental care for over 20 years. I have always had phenomenal service each and every time. Thanks so much for all you do!"
Serge P.

"Dr. Theodore has been our family dentist for over 12 years. She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and caring. She is attentive to our needs and communicates honestly and openly. She responds promptly to any concerns that we have and her office staff is competent, kind and helpful. My family and I are very satisfied with the care and service that we receive from Dr. T."
Cathy C.

"Dr. Theodore gave me my smile and my life back. For years my horrible teeth embarrassed me, I never smiled anymore and if I did – I covered my mouth. I knew that I was in desperate need of extensive dental work but seemed to always end up with the wrong dentist. It wasn’t until I met Dr. Theodore that I knew I was in the right place. She immediately made me feel comfortable. Dr. Theodore created a complete dental plan for me that was manageable and thoroughly thought out, while making sure that I was involved with every decision that needed to be made. She is an expert in her field who is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely caring. I now am able to smile and laugh again."
Jim B.

"I've been a patient of Dr. Theodore's for over 10 years now. Two things that stand out: I have progressed from being the worlds biggest "dental wimp", preferring (seriously) to be fully anesthetized during routine cleaning, to not even feeling the need for local anesthetic on recent visits for fillings! She has well earned my trust with her confident, precise dentistry, which is balanced by her genuinely empathetic, and gentle approach. This combined with the professionalism with which her office is run, is the example that others in her field should aspire to."
Mary R.

"I spent a great deal of time searching for a good dentist. My search was not in vain. I had the good fortune of finding Dr. Theodore, who is a great dentist. She is very precise in her work. So much so that I would say that she is a perfectionist. Actually, she is a charming perfectionist. I have recommended Dr. Theodore to many friends and they share my great opinion of her work."
Jenny & Chris

"We've been patients of Dr. Theodore for almost 10 years and have nothing but the highest praise and gratitude for her utmost professionalism and comprehensive dental care. She utilizes modern technology and advanced treatments in her practice, which she couples with a genuine care and concern for her patients’ overall wellbeing. Her staff is also extremely warm and kind, making the entire experience of 'going to the dentist' something to look forward to and surprisingly pleasant. We can't image going anywhere else for dental care!"
Tamara R.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Theodore for over 10 years. From the moment I entered her office, I felt very comfortable. I appreciate the high level of professionalism from Mary, Cathy and Dr. Theodore. Dr. Theodore explains each step and procedure in a caring manner. Dr. Theodore truly loves her practice and it is reflected in the relaxing and extremely clean environment."
Hugh M.

"I travel to see Dr. Theodore. She listens to my needs and provides the best work. I have been to many dentists in different states and her work is superior."
Eric P.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Theodore’s for as long as I can remember. Every visit has always been on schedule and any required services from a cleaning to X-rays is professional and personal."
Ellen D

"It started with the toy box and continues with the great care everyone gives our family. They are our special treat!"
