Dr. Michael G. Steichen, DDS

The modest medical building sits slightly northwest of Arlington Heights’ dignified brick library row, its suite marked only by a professional plastic placard: Dr. Michael G. Steichen, DDS. Inside the pleasant but unassuming suite 502 they keep a full dental team and three operatories—restorative, hygiene, and one set aside for oral surgery—all lined up along a narrow corridor that could belong to any suburban medical floor.

Visitors approaching for the first time will notice the brick-and-mortar signage and a row of numbered doors belonging to other firms; here, the dental office maintains the same neat lettering that first appeared decades ago. Dial (847) 392-6220 for scheduling, not because it’s a mystery, but because after hours the line rings straight to voicemail. Early-morning and midday appointments open quickly during the workweek, while evenings fill up a couple of weeks ahead.

Easily spotted from Central Road, they share the fifth floor with a chiropractor and two podiatrists; the Google-style directions page remembers the spot, so finding the address again is simply one more pointer click away: view map.
