Dr. Eric Klein would like to introduce himself and the staff of Dental Boutique to Frankfort and the surrounding communities. He finished his undergraduate studies from Purdue University in 1993 and his graduate studies from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in 1999.
While growing his practice into the success it is today, he completed his post-graduate training at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental studies in Nevada. Dr. Klein has obtained a LVI Fellowship (LVIF) which requires completing seven core programs and passing the LVI Fellowship written exam. Currently there are less than 500 LVI Fellows in the world. While at the institute, he and his staff underwent intensive training including completing cases on patients under the direction of some of the best teachers in cosmetic dentistry. Besides learning how to do the very best in cosmetic dentistry from LVI, Dr. Klein also obtained extensive training in TMJ problems and neuromuscular dentistry. Neuromuscular dentistry can help relieve many painful problems from migraine headaches, jaw pain & noise, ringing in the ears, vertigo, and neck and shoulder pain just to name a few. Dr. Klein is one of the few dentists from the area that has completed a program that teaches these skills. His commitment to excellence is emphasized by undergoing this training to provide patients with only the best restorations and care possible. By undergoing this training, he has achieved the clinical ability that few dentist in the country are even aware exists.
Dr. Klein currently holds a Fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) as well. This fellowship requires over 500 hours of coursework and passing a comprehensive written exam. This achievement marks a significant milestone in his career, because the award demonstrates his long-term commitment to going above and beyond continuing education requirements to provide his patients with the most up-to-date treatment options.
Dr. Klein has begun his Accreditation process with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). This is a very intense and involved process which requires the dentist to attend the AACD annual meetings (some of the latest and most advanced courses in cosmetic dentistry), pass a written test, attend the AACD cosmetic workshops and submitting and passing five actual cases completed by the dentist on his own patients. The five cases test the dentists skill and ability in all areas of cosmetic dentistry and are reviewed.
Dr. Klein is a member of some of the finest dental organizations in the country: American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, Illinois State Dental Society, Chicago Dental Society, Academy of Laser Dentistry, International College of Cranio-Mandibular Orthopedics ICCMO, International Association of Comprehensive Aesthetics IACA, American Academy of Craniofacial Pain AACP and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. He was the chairperson for the Childrens Dental Health Month Awareness Program for the Whiteside-Lee County Dental Society in both 2000 and 2001. Dr. Klein holds the Society of Dental Practitioners Law and Ethics in Dentistry Award and the Quintessence Dental Award.
Dr. Klein was born and raised on the south side of the city of Chicago. He is involved in many local activities and community groups. He lives in Frankfort with his wife, Amy and three daughters Easton, Nia and Melaney. His main hobbies include hunting and fishing and playing with his children.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I work in the dental field and my uncle is a dentist. I walked out of my exam yesterday being told I have 4 cavities. I immediately asked for my X-rays. I didn't see any cavities on my x-rays. I contacted my uncle and he said he didn't see any also. I even showed the dentist I work for to take a look he didn't see anything either. I just went to this office because I wanted to see what he would say. Turns out I have no cavities and they were trying to tell me I do. everyone at the office was really nice! I loved them all. Just I don't trust the doctor.

Best Dentist I have ever been to. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO WAIT. You make an appointment, walk right in, and start your treatment right away. Not like any other doctor where you have the 20 minutes of waiting. Very polite, very nice, and a very good job done.

Dr. Klein and his staff go above and beyond for their patients. From the moment you step in the door, you are treated like family. They are honest and upfront with treatments and always make sure you are comfortable and given options. We have been going here for 12+ years and couldn't imagine going anywhere else. I suffer from anxiety and they are so accommodating and make me feel at ease and relaxed...no laughing gas needed. I also have allergies and they are accommodating and knowledgeable of their products too. All around wonderful people doing great work. Highly recommend for all of your dentistry needs!
