ORA Dental Studio

ORA Dental Studio - Wicker Park, Chicago, is part of a progressive group of dental clinics founded in 2008 by brothers Dr. Mladen Kralj and Dr. Goran Kralj, later joined by Dr. Reggie Thurston. Their vision was to create a unique and memorable patient experience by combining sophisticated design, cutting-edge technologies, attentive service, and sustainable practices. The Wicker Park location, like their other Chicago studios (Gold Coast, River North, South Loop, and West Loop), embodies this philosophy. The clinic is designed to "redefine the dental experience," featuring a modern, tranquil, and inviting atmosphere with relaxing lounges and private treatment suites. A key differentiator for ORA Dental Studio is its commitment to "green healthcare" and "eco-friendly dentistry." They were the first LEED certified dental practice in Chicago, constructed with sustainable materials and powered by renewable energy. They actively offset their carbon footprint and have received numerous environmental excellence awards. ORA Dental Studio offers a comprehensive range of services, including: Preventive Care: Regular exams, cleanings, oral hygiene education, fluoride treatments, and advanced oral cancer screenings using VELscope. Restorative Dentistry: Fillings, inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, and dental implants. Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, laser gum contouring, dental bonding, and porcelain veneers. Orthodontics: Invisalign. Specialty Services: Emergency dentistry and other specialized treatments. Their clinical philosophy emphasizes "Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID)," aiming to preserve natural tooth structure, provide early detection, and treat issues with the least invasive methods possible. They utilize state-of-the-art technology such as digital X-rays (CBCT), iTero digital scanners, intraoral cameras, artificial intelligence for diagnostics and treatment planning, laser cavity detection (DIAGNOdent), and hard and soft tissue lasers (including the revolutionary Solea laser for drill-free procedures). They also incorporate 3D printing for same-day retainers and night guards, and CAD/CAM for accurate porcelain restorations. The team, including Dr. Reggie Thurston at the Wicker Park location, is highly trained and committed to providing personalized, "five-star" customer service. They accept various payment options, including PPO dental plans and CareCredit financing, to ensure dental care is accessible. ORA Dental Studio aims to provide not just dental treatment, but an elevated experience focused on overall wellness and natural, long-lasting results.
