Dr Cannon is the best pediatric dentist in Chicago area (and probably in the whole country). My sons love Dr Cannon. Dr Cannon loves kids, he has up-to-date knowledge of the current dental materials, and he has excellent clinical skills. In dentistry, a same case may have different treatment options, which may end up very different cost and clinical outcome. A bad choice of treatment procedure would cost a lot more and end up the worse outcome. Dr Cannon is so knowledgeable (he is the key opinion leader in dentistry in the world) and he can make sure to have the best treatment for patients.

Dr. Cannon is great with kids and takes the time to explain everything. His recommendations are based on hus own dedicated research and he wouldn't do anything that wasn't absolutely necessary. Great office staff and kid friendly environment!

Dr. Mark Cannon is an amazing dentist. He sees both of my kids as well as our friends' kids based on my recommendation. I trust his advice. My daughter has problematic teeth and poor teeth hygiene and I am thankful to have Dr. Cannon as our trusted advisor and helper. He is attentive, extremely knowledgeable, up-to-date on the latest treatment options and super kind to parents. He was recommended to us by our family dentist and I could not wish for anyone better. Thank you, Dr. Cannon, for your professionalism, knowledge and care!

Associated Dental represents the absolute best in pediatric dental care. From their warm and friendly office staff to their wonderful technicians and assistants to the outstanding Dr. Cannon himself, we have never been more happy. Our kids actually look forward to going! And Dr. Cannon is on the bleeding edge of research and information to keep our children healthy -- and not just their teeth. It's an extraordinary place and we can't recommend it more strongly!

Dr. Cannon and the staff are absolutely wonderful! They are so caring and patient with the kids. The office is very child friendly and they make the whole visit comfortable for everyone. My daughter has sensory processing disorder and they have been nothing but accepting and flexible with her. I can't imagine going any place else.

I am so thankful for this dental office! Dr Cannon is a fabulous pediatric dentist who makes appointments as pleasant as possible for little children. His humorous & calm approach helped my daughter be accepting of a dental exam at age 3. Dr. Cannon is also an accomplished professional who is involved in research and speaks/presents all over the world. You can be confident that your child is receiving the best, most current, & well-researched care. Despite his many roles & busy schedule, we are always seen on time and never feel rushed. The staff & hygienists at this office are equally welcoming & wonderful! Email & text message appointment confirmation options help greatly. Fees & insurance coverage are clearly detailed.
