Dr. Nicole Guyton

Dentists in the south suburbs often end up being the default choice—close enough to avoid the expressway, far enough to skip the downtown markup. Routine cleanings, fillings, and the occasional crown tend to be the bread and butter, though some offices quietly handle more involved work like root canals or bridges without sending patients across the county. Dr. Nicole Guyton fits that mold: a general practice that keeps the basics covered and the referrals local.

You’ll find the office at 3330 W 177th St in Hazel Crest, a strip just off Kedzie where the sidewalks stay busy but the traffic doesn’t. They take calls at (708) 798-7400 for anything from a chipped tooth to a full set of X-rays, and the map listing is here if you need directions. The neighborhood itself is the kind where people still wave at neighbors, so word about a reliable dentist spreads faster than the morning paper used to.
