Dr. Goduco truly loves his work. He finds deep fulfillment in helping his patients achieve lasting oral health and happy smiles. Dr. Goducos secondary goal is to change the way that people view dentistry. Many patients come to us with an unfavorable outlook on dental care because of previous experiences. Often, they believe that treatment will be highly unpleasant or embarrassing.
At Goduco Smiles, our treatments are gentle and relaxed, helping to change our patients' opinions on dental care. We offer personalized, compassionate care that is tailored to your particular needs. We also use the latest in dental technology to provide more efficient, pain-free procedures. At the same time, we know that some patients may suffer from dental anxiety. To further alleviate nerves, we offer several types of sedation to provide comfortable, gentle treatment.
Dr. Goduco and his team perform a complete range of dental treatments. While preventative care is a major focus of our practice, we also offer state-of-the-art restorative procedures. Dental implants are one of the most popular options. Dr. Goduco has an impressive background in implant dentistry. He can perform all aspects of your care here in our office, including bone grafting, implant placement, and restoration.
Similarly, Dr. Goduco also provides general treatments for the entire family. From gentle, reassuring care for your children, to dentures for our senior patients, we are able to treat the unique needs of every patient.
Dr. Goduco also proudly incorporates new, advanced techniques into his treatments to provide the best results possible. From the Chao Pinhole method to treat gum recession to advanced sleep apnea therapy, he can provide the complex care that you need. Dr. Goduco can also provide emergency services to help those who urgently require treatment.
Dr. Goduco has an impressive educational background and has gained valuable experience in virtually every area of dentistry. He further honed his skills with advanced training in several specialized areas. These specialties include orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, snoring & sleep apnea treatment, TMJ, removable & fixed dentures and dental implants. His dedication and training has extended to the other members of our team, who strive to provide the most advanced, comprehensive care possible.
Goduco Smiles is also able to offer state-of-the-art dental technology. Our diagnostic tools include DIAGNOdent laser cavity detection, digital x-rays, and intraoral cameras. With these devices, we can identify dental problems in the initial stages. To provide minimal discomfort care, Dr. Goduco also employs the WaterLase dental laser and The Wand computer-controlled anesthetic system.
Dr. Philip V. Goduco received his Doctorate degree with Honors from the Loyola School of Dentistry, Maywood, Illinois in 1987. He then served his country by doing a residency in the United States Army Dental Corps in Fort Jackson, South Carolina before opening his practice in 1992. Since then he has given healthy smiles to many of his loyal patients.
Dr. Goduco and his highly-skilled team of dental professionals will treat you like their one and only patient. All of their focus is on you and your needs, as well as your hopes, dreams and desires for a beautiful and healthy smile. Dr. Goduco and his team practice dentistry with the utmost standards of quality and integrity, while paying particular attention to your comfort.
To put you at ease, Dr. Goduco uses leading-edge technology such as laser therapy, to remove dental decay without the drill, digital x-rays that greatly reduce your exposure to radiation, and a selection of anesthesia options.
If you are in the process of choosing an implant dentist, it is important to find a surgeon with broad knowledge in the field of implant dentistry. The practitioner should also make you feel comfortable, and have experience incorporating the latest technologies and techniques into the procedure. As a talented and experienced dental professional, Dr. Philip Goduco in Vernon Hills, IL, has undergone extensive training in both the placement and restoration of dental implants.
When you choose to receive dental implants, either to replace a single tooth or to create a secure base for a denture or bridge, you are making a life-changing decision that can correct both the appearance and functionality of your smile. However, it is important to understand that the placement of the actual implant requires great precision from a qualified dentist with the necessary training and experience. To ensure that each patient achieves the very best results, Dr. Goduco uses advanced dental technology such as digital x-rays and scans to ensure that each implant is placed with ultimate precision.
Not all dentists that offer dental implants have the ability to surgically place them, as well as attach the restoration. In some cases, one surgeon will perform the surgery and then send the patient to another doctor, who will then attach a crown, bridge, or denture. However, Dr. Goduco is able to offer both services, making it quicker and more convenient for his patients.
Dr. Goduco's experience, dating back to 1987, along with hundreds of hours of continued education, has given him the extensive knowledge to perform a safe and successful procedure. He understands that patients must also feel comfortable in the office, and will take all the time needed to discuss your unique concerns and goals.
His advanced techniques and approach are implemented in order to help patients save time and minimize inconveniences that are often experienced at other dental practices. His ability to offer such a wide range of services essentially makes Goduco Smiles a'one-stop shop' for all of your dental needs.
Dr. Goduco has spent hundreds of hours of continuing education and years gaining the experience needed to offer such a comprehensive list of treatments. Unlike some other practices that may refer many of their procedures out to other dental specialists, which can be frustrating and time-consuming for patients, Dr. Goduco is able to perform most complex procedures in his office. Our goal is to provide a warm, welcoming, and comfortable environment that delivers the personalized care and attention you deserve.
Taking the time away from work or your family to visit your dentist is not always convenient, and when doctors require a return visit, your valuable time can be interrupted. With a combined effort between the doctor and his team, we can provide the highest quality of care without requiring you to take too much time away from daily life. If you do require a more complex and time-consuming procedure, patients can find comfort knowing that Dr. Goduco already understands everything about your individual case, and has taken the time to evaluate your dental needs and goals.
To complement our state-of-the-art facility, Dr. Goduco is trained to use some of the latest technologies to improve efficiency within the office. For example, a DIAGNOdent laser can quickly diagnose decay before it progresses into a more serious condition, allowing the doctor to treat it early on. Some of the other technologies we use, which can minimize the need for more extensive procedures, or can improve overall efficiency include:
Our number one priority is to deliver the very best dental care possible, and help our patients achieve healthier, happier smiles. However, it is also a major focus to provide a comprehensive list of treatments all in one convenient location. Whether you are in need of a minor treatment such as a dental crown or you require a major reconstruction or dental implants, Dr. Goduco and rest of our staff will strive to use all of their experience to provide everything you need in-office.

This dental office is a well oiled machine. Everyone is always a bit scared to get teeth work done, but as soon as I walked in, I was treated like family. I was laughing and bonding with the staff instantly. I didn't have an obnoxious wait time, as soon as I came in, paperwork was processed and I was in the back preparing my treatment plan. Dr. Goduco is also fantastic. He let me know exactly what he was doing when he was doing it and even played my favorite band while I was getting my work done. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!

Dr. Goduco and staff are seriously the best!! i had the worst tooth pain i've ever experienced and when i told Dr. Goduco and staff about it, they rushed me in right away to help the pain go away. I use to hate going to the dentist, but after a trip to Dr. Goduco i will make sure to keep coming back and recommending all friends and family as well. The staff make you feel at home and they also made me feel like i've been going there for years and it was only my first visit!

Very relaxing,laid back and fun atmosphere but also very professional and caring. I had a dental emergency and was in extreme pain and they were the only ones who would take me. They did so immediately in fact,calling me back promptly in response to my s.o.s. email that I had sent them. You're not going to do much better than these guys.Highly recommended.

Many years ago, I hesitantly visited Dr. Goduco's office because they advertised a specialty with fearful dental patients. From the moment I walked into the office, I was greeted by Shirley and the rest of their warm, friendly staff, and treated with the utmost in sensitivity and caring by everyone, especially the talented and wonderful Dr. Goduco. Since then, I've never missed a cleaning. I even switched my kids from their pediatric dentist to Dr. Goduco's office, and they agree our visits are always a positive experience. I have continued over the course of several years with routine dental care, as well as needing a partial crown and Invisalign treatment. Dr. Goduco worked with me to overcome great fear about dental work, and I now know that whatever comes up, I can handle it as long as I am under his expert care. You will be impressed to find the latest dental technology and sanitization. I dare even the most germ-phobic, Covid-19 traumatized person to find fault with the flawlessly spotless environment. You will be amazed with the entire experience. I only wish I found Dr. Goduco sooner!

Friendliest staff EVER! I've never walked into a dentists office and actually had the dentist say hello, shake my hand, and welcome me there, all before I get to the chair. Dr. Goduco was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. I was interested in the PST method for gum restoration and he listened to my concerns, he was sensitive to my concerns, identified the issues, and set a comprehensive plan in motion. Shirley explained all of the insurance coverage and what it would cost me out-of-pocket. Melissa was wonderful about scheduling me although it was a challenge because I live in Wisconsin. You can tell people love working there because the tech was even happy and humming along to the music! GOOD VIBES here!

Dr. Goduco and staff check all the boxes. From making sure you are comfortable and pain-free during procedures (they do just about everything in office, which is fantastic) to helping you understand your insurance/timing/payment options for when that crown just isn't in the budget...great people providing great service.

I should have done this review several years ago. Dr. Goduco and his staff have been very sensitive to my extreme dental anxiety. It's a fine line between supportive and accommodating or being overly patronizing. I have never felt uncomfortable because of his actions. Thanks to Dr.Goduco and his team I have continued to receive the services I desperately needed. I will continue to move forward with my dental health with Dr Goduco and his team.

I should have been posted this 2 years ago.. Dr. Goduco helped me out of a pretty serious infection when I wasn't a current patient of his. I left a message on the answering service and he called me back within 10 minutes telling me to come in first thing the next day and he had a full patient load already. Since that day he has become the only dentist I'll see because that type of care for people is rare these days.. Also he has become a good friend I think as well.

Quoted extremely high prices for work, when I told him and the staff, no I wasn't going to do that, he called his staff into the next room and yelled at them at how valuable his time was! Went to another dentist only to have to have to have my bridge redone, will not go back to this office!

My family has been regularly visiting Goduco Family Dentistry for nearly two decades. From braces to bridges we have been through it all. Painless tooth repair with a sedation option for the squeamish. Dr. Goduco can even perform a procedure to grow your gums! They tell me that maintaining a healthy mouth is key to your overall health. The Goduco practice will do their best to provide you with the best dental care. And they will make sure you do your part as well by educating you on the benefits of oral hygiene. A simple daily flossing routine will save you thousands of dollars over your lifetime. And not having to return for a pesky cavity repair is a relief in itself! On my most recent visit Mary provided a comprehensive hygienic examination including head and neck, gingivitis along with individual tooth inspection. Concluding with a Carmel flavored fluoride treatment! Although GFD has always provided a clean and sanitized environment, they are taking extra precautions due to the current pandemic. Shirley and the rest of the staff respect and maintain social distancing even while engaging in casual conversation. As an extremely satisfied patient, I highly recommend Goduco Family Dentistry for anyone of any age. It's more than a dental practice, it's like visiting your favorite distant relative (twice a year).
