Dr. Donald C. Summerlin, DDS

Carbondale’s west side has long been a quiet corridor of tree-lined streets and mid-century homes, where dental offices blend into the neighborhood fabric without fanfare. Among them, Dr. Donald C. Summerlin, DDS has quietly served the area for decades, offering routine care and more involved treatments under one roof. The practice sits at 1240 N Cedar Ct, Carbondale, IL 62901, a short drive from the university and downtown’s busier thoroughfares.

General dentistry here covers everything from cleanings and exams to fillings, crowns, and root canals, while preventive work like sealants and fluoride treatments helps keep smaller issues from becoming larger ones. They also handle extractions, dentures, and basic orthodontic evaluations, making it easier for patients to address multiple concerns in one place. When more specialized care is needed, referrals are coordinated with local specialists, though many procedures can be completed on-site.

Appointments are scheduled directly by calling (618) 549-7621, and directions to the office can be pulled up here for those unfamiliar with Cedar Court’s turns.
