Dr. Benjamin T. Howard, DDS

Maywood’s southern edge feels more campus than suburb. Along South 1st Avenue, mid-rise buildings alternate with quiet side streets, and dental offices share the skyline with university towers. Dr. Benjamin T. Howard, DDS occupies Suite 3100 at 2160 S 1st Ave, a spot where routine cleanings and urgent fillings happen within earshot of lecture bells.

They handle everything from digital X-rays to crowns, offering sedation for patients who need it. Root canals and pediatric check-ups are scheduled side by side, so families can book back-to-back appointments without switching buildings. The office also fits night guards and performs simple extractions, covering most needs before a referral becomes necessary.

If the corner of 1st and Roosevelt looks familiar, it’s because the Loyola campus wraps around the block. Directions are straightforward: map here. For scheduling, call (708) 216-9000. The place keeps the neighborhood’s daily rhythm steady, one filling at a time.
