Dr. Skleba did his undergraduate studies at Northwestern University, graduating in 1980 with a degree in Biology. In 1984 he earned his DDS degree from Loyola University graduating 2nd in his class and earning the title of Salutatorian.

After graduation he served one year as a hospital dental resident and received a General Practice Residency certificate from Illinois Masonic Hospital. Dr. Skleba spent the next 10 years on teaching staff at Illinois Masonic Hospital working with graduate students in the Dental Residency Program and practicing handicapped dentistry with the Special Patient Care Program at the hospital. This experience included regular visits to the hospital operating room for more advanced cases done under general anesthesia. Between 1985 and 1989 Dr. Skleba was also an associate in private practice in Skokie, IL.

Dr. Skleba has been a volunteer for the ADA Give Kids a Smile program as well the Donated Dental Services charity that provides care for the handicapped and elderly. Dr. Skleba was part of the Mission of Mercy volunteer medical and dental team in New Orleans that provided badly needed care to over 800 patients in one day. He also donates services to victims of domestic violence through the Give Back A Smile foundation, a charitable arm of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Professional memberships include the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, McHenry County Dental Society and the Academy of General Dentistry (an organization dedicated to continuing education).

Most recently Dr. Skleba has been advancing his knowledge in the areas of cosmetic dentistry, studying at The Center for Esthetic Excellence in Chicago as well as participating in a mini-residency devoted to advanced implant techniques.

In 2018 at the Convocation of the Academy of General Dentistry in New Orleans, Dr. Skleba was awarded Fellowship in the Academy. This is an honor earned by only 6% of the dentists in the United States. An accumulation of more than 500 hours of continuing education and the passing of a rigorous four hour examination on clinical dentistry are some of the requirements required to earn this title.

FAGD stands for Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. Earning Fellowship takes dedication to dental continuing education (CE) beyond graduation. Only about 6 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada are AGD Fellows. When you see a dentist with FAGD after their name, you can rest assured that they care about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. AGD Fellows practice these techniques in a classroom setting multiple times a year not every dentist does this.

When I started college, I had no idea what I planned to do, but the brother of a friend of mine started talking to me about dentistry. I quickly saw it was the perfect blend of medicine and creativity for me!

A Bloomingfield, MI, native, Dr. Brewer did her Undergraduate work at Indiana University, achieving a BS in Biology and a minor in chemistry, and graduating with honors. She followed up with Dental school, attending Boston University for her DMD and graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2006, before completing her residency at Illinois Masonic Medical Center.

There are two best parts to my daily job, Dr. Brewer says. The first is working with patients who call themselves flight risks: they are so scared of the dentist that they literally want to jump out of the chair and run. When I am able to successfully treat them and they say to me, Wow, Im not scared anymore! well, thats a great feeling. The second is working with patients who tell me they are embarrassed to smile because of the way their teeth look. When we do restorative work and they are able to smile again you can see what a difference youve made in their life. Its transformative.

When shes not guiding patients towards a happier, healthier approach to dentistry, Dr. Brewer can be found at her Cary, IL, home with her husband, Jeff and the couples three children, Lucas, Dylan and Beckett. She enjoys relaxing in warm weather, and going to the beach to build sandcastles with the kids, and confides that her dream vacation would definitely involve travel to Europe with friends, family and a babysitter!

Our dedicated and motivated staff has one primary goal-your utmost comfort! We feel its important that you understand the treatment that youll be receiving so that you can relax during the procedure. Our staff is eager to answer any questions regarding your dental care. Please feel free to share with us your needs and concerns.

I hadn't been to the dentist in probably close to 15 years so I was terrified of that first visit. Absolutely everyone I spoke to in the dental office was SO NICE! I felt so comfortable and not judged one bit! The dental hygienists were all so kind and my cleaning didn't hurt one bit. Dr. Sarah Brewer was so personable and made me feel so at home. I would absolutely highly recommend Cary Dental Associates LLC if you're looking for a new dental home. I will never go to another dental office.

Going to Cary Dental is not like my old experiences with dentists. It's almost a joy to go for a visit. Everyone from the dentists to the receptionists are so friendly and helpful. They are very thorough and care for your feelings. No pain! I would recommend them to everyone. Even if you have a dentist, Cary Dental is wonderful. Another year has gone by and still thrilled with Dr. Brewer. Got my husband to join the experience. He loves them too.
