  • Feeling anxious every time you sit in the chair

  • Waiting on a problem until it gets worse

  • Wanting a dentist who listens before explaining

  • Feeling embarrassed about your teeth

  • Tired of rushed appointments

ABOUT US

Careful work, explained plainly

Cinder Dental is a group practice of three general dentists in Chicago. Each takes the time to show you what they see and to go over your options before any treatment starts.

For anything beyond a checkup you get a written plan and an estimate, and time to decide.
