Chicago Dental Dream Team

The South Chicago neighborhood isn’t short on dental offices, but specialists in both periodontal care and implant surgery are fewer. Tucked along 87th Street—just east of the Dan Ryan—Chicago Dental Dream Team occupies the second floor of a professional building at 820 E 87th St #201. This isn’t a general practice; the focus narrows to gum disease treatment, bone grafting, and the full spectrum of implant procedures, from single-tooth replacements to full-arch solutions. For patients who’ve been referred out by their regular dentist for complex cases, it’s one of the few area offices handling both the surgical and restorative phases under one roof.

Periodontists often get pigeonholed as the “gum specialists,” but the work extends well beyond deep cleanings. Here, consultations might cover anything from receding gums to securing dentures with implant-supported anchors—procedures that require a mix of precision and long-term planning. The office fields calls at (773) 488-3738, where questions about sedation options or recovery timelines are as common as scheduling the initial exam. Unlike chain clinics, the practice doesn’t spread its attention across fillings or whitening; the entire operation revolves around the niche where gum health and tooth replacement intersect.

Getting there is straightforward whether you’re coming from the expressway or the residential blocks to the east. The building sits near the intersection with Cottage Grove, with metered street parking and a small lot behind the structure. For first-time visitors, pulling up the map beforehand helps—second-floor offices can be easy to miss when you’re watching for street numbers. Around here, word travels fast about specialists who don’t bounce patients between multiple locations for follow-ups.
