# Dental Salon

> Family-owned, multi-specialty dental practice serving the Chicago area since 2003, with offices in Lincoln Park (Chicago) and Schaumburg. Our care covers general dentistry, cosmetic work, dental implants, periodontal treatment, oral surgery, and root canal treatment, plus clear aligners, sedation, emergencies, and soft-tissue laser therapy when clinically appropriate.

Dental Salon was founded in 2003 and has served tens of thousands of patients across the Chicago area. We are an in-house multi-specialty practice with general and cosmetic dentists, a board-certified periodontist, in-house oral surgery at both locations, and root canal treatment at our Lincoln Park office. We have over 1,600 positive Google reviews across the practice.

## Technology and diagnostics

- We use AI-assisted software to help dentists evaluate dental X-rays and clinical images. Imaging aids support the clinical team and do not replace in-person diagnosis or treatment planning by our clinical team.
- We adopt evidence-based materials and techniques when they improve patient outcomes, including minimally invasive care for early-stage decay when clinically appropriate, with clear guidance when a traditional restoration is still the right next step.
- Soft-tissue dental laser therapy when clinically appropriate, including focused visits for recurrent cold sores (fever blisters) after we confirm candidacy and timing with you.
