Choices in Dentistry

Choices in Dentistry is a distinguished dental clinic located at 25 E Washington St SUITE 1101, Chicago, IL 60602. The practice operates under a philosophy of "choices," aiming to empower patients by providing comprehensive information and options for their dental health. They are notable for their integrative dentistry approach, which combines the best aspects of holistic, biological, and traditional dental care. This means they consider the patient's overall well-being and health in addition to their oral health, focusing on identifying and resolving the source of problems rather than just treating symptoms. The clinic is led by Dr. Patricia Gilleran, who is committed to safe, eco-friendly, and patient-centered practices. Choices in Dentistry distinguishes itself by not being contracted with any specific insurance provider, allowing them to prioritize patient needs over insurance company protocols. However, they do process all claims with insurance companies and offer financing options like CareCredit, as well as an in-house savings plan for those without insurance. Services offered at Choices in Dentistry are extensive and reflect their integrative philosophy. These include general dentistry services such as exams, cleanings, and white (mercury-free and metal-free) fillings. They are certified for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART), ensuring safe removal of mercury fillings. The clinic also provides advanced treatments like dental implants, ozone therapy for preventing bacterial infections, and oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea. They also offer myofunctional therapy and biocompatible materials testing. Their approach emphasizes the use of healthy and safe materials and prioritizes recovery and healing. Patients consistently praise the welcoming atmosphere, professionalism of the staff (including Dr. Gilleran and Dr. Koch), and the gentle, thorough care received. The office is designed for patient comfort, offering amenities like calming music and paraffin wax hand dips. Located conveniently in the Chicago Loop, it's easily accessible by public transit and offers discounted parking. Choices in Dentistry aims to provide a unique and empowering dental experience, fostering long-term relationships with their patients and educating them to make informed decisions about their health.
