Between early morning meetings, packed commutes, and a to-do list that never seems to shrink, dental care often gets pushed to the bottom. It shouldn’t take a dental emergency for someone to finally carve out time — but for a lot of busy Chicagoans, that’s exactly what happens.
At Dental Group of Chicago, accessibility isn’t just a concept; it’s the foundation of how we run our practice. We’re a dentist-owned office in the South Loop offering a full scope of general dentistry services, and we’ve designed every part of the experience around the reality that our patients have demanding schedules, real financial concerns, and limited patience for unnecessary delays. If getting to the dentist has felt impossible, we’re here to change that.
Hours That Actually Work for You
Most dental offices close at 5 p.m. That works for some people, but for anyone working a traditional nine-to-five, it means taking time off just to get a cleaning. We took a different approach. Our office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. That means you can book an early morning appointment before your shift, stop in after work at 7 p.m., or get your whole family in on a Saturday without anyone losing a day of pay.
Extended hours are one of the clearest ways a dental practice can signal that patient convenience matters. We believe no one should have to choose between their job and their oral health.
Transparent Pricing and Insurance That Makes Sense
Cost is one of the most common reasons people delay or skip dental care entirely. According to the American Dental Association’s Health Policy Institute, 17% of working-age adults went without needed dental care due to cost in 2022 — a number that reflects a real and ongoing gap in access. We take that seriously, which is why we’ve structured our pricing and insurance options to remove as many financial barriers as possible.
In-Network with Most Major PPOs
Being in-network is one of the biggest differentiators a dental practice can offer in Chicago. We accept Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, BlueCross BlueShield, Guardian, United Healthcare, and more. Our team files your claim for you, so you receive the maximum benefits available under your plan. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
For patients who are uninsured or underinsured, we offer a $99 new patient special that includes a comprehensive dental exam, a full set of digital X-rays, and a cleaning. Check out our insurance and financing page to learn more about the flexible payment options we have available, including Cherry financing.
A Smooth New Patient Experience
The intake process at some offices adds friction before care even begins. We’ve worked to remove those barriers. When you come in as a new patient, things move efficiently — no unnecessary delays, no confusing paperwork, and no surprise charges. Our new patients page has everything you need to know before your first visit.
Care That Minimizes Your Time Away
One thing that sets Dental Group of Chicago apart is how much we handle in-house. Many dental practices refer out for procedures we complete right here. That means fewer appointments, fewer days off work, and less back-and-forth coordinating between providers. From routine cleanings to more involved restorative and surgical work, we keep care consolidated and efficient.
When you do come in, we want you to be comfortable. Our office offers a comfort menu that includes heated blankets, neck pillows, eucalyptus wipes, Netflix, coffee, fresh fruit, and water. Every detail is intentional — because how you feel during your appointment matters as much as the care itself.
Same-Day Emergency Care
Dental emergencies don’t schedule themselves around your calendar. When a patient calls in pain, the first question we ask is how soon they can get here. That’s not a script; that’s our actual approach. We prioritize getting patients seen the same day, treated, and out of pain as quickly as possible. No extended waiting, no being told to come back next week.
Accessibility in an emergency is just as important as accessibility for routine care, and we treat it that way.
Schedule with Dental Group of Chicago
At Dental Group of Chicago, making dental care accessible means giving patients real options — hours that don’t require time off work, pricing that doesn’t require a second mortgage, and care that doesn’t require a dozen separate appointments. We’ve built our practice around patients who are busy, cost-conscious, and deserve exceptional care without the hassle.
If you’ve been putting off your next appointment, there’s no better time to come in. Contact our office to schedule a visit that works for your schedule, and we’ll take it from there.
