We recognize that not all dentists are the same and we want our patients to be confident and happy because they chose us. Our goal is to educate our patients thoroughly to empower them to make confident dental decisions. We believe that real value in dentistry comes from dentistry that not only repairs, but prevents.
We providethe latest dental techniques and technology which allows us to better diagnose, better treat (with less pain) and speed patient recovery. Our genuine commitment in both our dentistry and hygiene results in overall better health for our patients.
Our office is conveniently located in Port Byron, IL and we invite you to call with any questions or send us a message via theContact Us page of our web site. We will do everything possible to ensure you a pleasant visit.
Only the highest standards of care are acceptable at Port Byron Family Dentistry. We treat each of our patients individually. We give our patients a thorough evaluation of their oral health before rushing into any treatment. Our goal is to empower our patients with dental health education to ensure that each patient leaves our office with the proper information and the encouragement to maintain a healthy and beautiful smile!

Yes we work with patients to make dental care affordable. Finances should not affect your dental health. We accept cash, checks and credit cards. We also work with Care Credit to arrange alternative financial arrangements.
Yes When it is in your best interest to see a specialist we will refer you. This includes oral surgeons (oral surgery), periodontists (gum specialists), orthodontists (tooth straightening), endodontists (root canals) and pedodontists (childrens dentistry).
Yes Denture teeth wear and so does the bone the denture fits on. Poorly fit or worn dentures can/may cause sleep apnea, stroke or even death. Yearly cancer screenings, exams of denture users are extremely important.
Yes we currently have digital x-rays These are easier to read than film. We also have the ability to manipulate contrast which makes diagnosis more accurate. We also use an intra-oral camera to help identify dental problems and help patients understand their dental needs. We use electric handpieces that are quieter and more comfortable than the traditional air driven handpieces. We also have a soft tissue laser that comfortably removes unhealthy tissue in the mouth.
