Dr. Ray Jurado, DDS

Pediatric dentistry often feels like a separate world from the adult version. Parents in Lincoln Park know the drill—smaller chairs, brighter colors, and a focus on making cleanings feel less like a chore. Dr. Ray Jurado, DDS specializes in exactly that, offering routine check-ups, fluoride treatments, and sealants for kids who might otherwise dread the dentist’s chair. The practice also handles space maintainers and gentle extractions when baby teeth overstay their welcome.

The office sits at 467 W Deming Pl Chicago, IL 60614, a stretch of street where the neighborhood’s tree-lined sidewalks give way to a mix of low-rise buildings and family homes. Lincoln Park’s blend of young professionals and long-time residents means the waiting room is usually full of parents swapping school recommendations while their kids flip through picture books. It’s the kind of place where first-time visitors might not realize they’ve arrived until they spot the discreet sign near the entrance.

Appointments can be scheduled by calling (312) 227-6050, though walk-ins for minor issues are sometimes accommodated if the schedule allows.
