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.

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.
