Dr. Alla Shtilman

What kind of dental care feels least like a chore? Dr. Alla Shtilman focuses on clean, efficient treatments rather than flashy distractions. The practice is situated at 1657 N Buffalo Grove Rd, Buffalo Grove, IL 60089, a stretch of road anchored by a mix of established offices and new storefronts in a quiet corner of town.

Teeth cleanings, fillings, crowns, and night guards are part of the standard menu, with sedation options handled elsewhere nearby if needed. When something beyond routine care arises—an infection, a broken tooth, or a consultation for braces—they field those requests routinely. New patients simply call to set up their first visit, and existing schedules open a week or two ahead for routine follow-ups.

The office handles most insurance paperwork internally, though a quick call confirms the details ahead of time. Scheduling usually takes a minute or two over the phone, and they’ll let you know if you need to fast beforehand. Root canals, extractions, and cosmetic consultations share the same treatment space most afternoons.

Before heading in, pull up the map to scout the parking grid around the plaza. Parking spots fill faster after 9 a.m., so aim for the northern end if you’re running late.
