Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, Dr. Sirin moved to California when he was ten years old. Wearing braces at a young age caused him to start thinkingabout a career in dentistry. As he got older and began considering a profession, dentistrys appeal got stronger.
Dr. Sirin earned bachelor of science degrees in biology and chemistry from the University of California. As he applied to dental schools, he began traveling and fell in love with the Chicago area. He went on to attend Northwestern University Dental School and earned his doctor of dental surgery degree in 1998. After dental school, Dr. Sirin moved back to California to practice. But after a few years there, he returned to the Chicago area where he has lived and practiced since 2002.
According to Dr. Sirin, My goal is not to just do the same thing every day, but to advance myself and stay ahead of the curve, and to push myself a little more with every patient and every challenge that I encounter. Its an exciting time to be in dentistry and I am thankful every day that I have the opportunity to do what I love and be a part of this profession.
Dr. Sirins commitment to his goal is evident through the time he spends in post-graduate training. Although the state of Illinois requires dentists to complete 16 hours of continuing education each year, Dr. Sirin completes 100-130 hours yearlymore than six times the requirement. This extensive training often focuses on cosmetic dentistry services such as tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, and porcelain crowns.
Dr. Sirin doesnt merely want to fix your teeth, he wants to make them look as if they were never broken, decayed, discolored, or misaligned in the first place. He strives to achieve those goals by practicing minimally invasive dentistry without unnecessarily cutting away tooth structure. Dr. Sirins philosophy means that he will always strive to be conservative in your dental care. He would much rather prevent a cavity than fill it. To him, a small filling is much better than a large one. He will always try to save your tooth, rather than just extract it.

Everyone at Sirin Dentistry was courteous and professional. Severin, the dental technician, was knowledgeable, thorough and efficient. Dr. Sirin likewise. His "bedside" manner is respectful and considerate. Dr. Sirin uses technology and advances to provide painless dentistry and keep costs reasonable.

Staff are caring and competent, starting at the front desk and up to and including Dr Sirin. I'm glad I was referred to them a few years ago, and I plan on continuing with them from now on. I just wish I had learned of Dr Sirin sooner.

The whole experience at Dr. Sirin's office is quite remarkable. You know from the moment you walk in that you are going to receive professional and personalized service. The Hygienists are thorough and help you feel comfortable throughout their processes. Dr. Sirin follows up and will be honest but not pushy. He allows you to make your own decisions based on his findings. He takes into account all of your feelings and concerns. He and his staff are caring professionals and their workmanship and attention to your needs prove it.

Needed an x-ray for a knee replacement that I will have in a few weeks. Maria explained everything to me and had me in and out within a few minutes. Also, I had forgotten the form I needed that was to be sent to surgeon and they called the Dr's office and had the form sent over to Dr. Sirin's office to be completed. Overall very happy with Dr. Sirin and his staff.

First time at this dentist after my dentist retired. Chipped my tooth before my new patient appointment. They were very swift in getting me in, they explained everything and suggested it was time to get a crown. They offer same day crowns which makes things easier for me in having to take more time off of work. They also are accommodating in doing my new patient visit at the same time they do my crown. Felt at ease and very comfortable there. Looking forward to being a patient there. Highly recommend!
