Best Dentist in Chicago
Who is the best dentist in Chicago?
There is no agreed-upon standard for answering that question, but you may be interested in reading about the credentials of Dr. James Fondriest in Lake Forest, a northern suburb of Chicago. At Lake Forest Dental Arts, Dr. Fondriest offers a comprehensive range of general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry services. Many practicing dentists choose him to provide their own dental care.
In practice for more than 25 years, he has performed complex procedures like whole-mouth dental implant reconstructions and porcelain veneer smile makeovers for decades. Since 2004, he has been listed each year in the directory of The Best Dentists in America. This directory is compiled based upon a large, national survey of 9,000 leading dentists asking them to recommend the best in their field.
He is also recognized nationally by his peers as a leading lecturer and spends a lot of his time teaching other dentists. Dr. Fondriest has been repeatedly chosen by the magazine, Dentistry Today, to receive their “Best and Brightest” designation, a compilation of the top 100 “thought leaders” in the United States in dental continuing education. He is a senior faculty member of the L.D. Pankey Institute, internationally recognized as a leading research and treatment center for the study of temporomandibulor joint (TMJ) disorders.
