Joshua T Grumet DDS PC

Highland Park’s older streets still carry the quiet rhythm of a suburb that grew up around the train. Along Sheridan Road, small professional signs mark the kind of offices people visit twice a year without much fanfare. Joshua T Grumet DDS PC sits at 1893 Sheridan Rd, one of those unassuming storefronts where the sign hasn’t changed in decades. It’s the sort of place where cleanings and fillings happen without ceremony, the kind of dentist that doesn’t need neon lights to draw a crowd.

Dental work here covers the basics—exams, x-rays, crowns, bridges, and the occasional root canal—without the glossy brochures or spa-like promises that newer clinics sometimes lean on. The address puts it within walking distance of the Metra station, a detail that matters more on a rainy Tuesday than on a sunny Saturday. For anyone who’s ever put off a cleaning because the office felt too far or too flashy, this is the opposite: straightforward care on a street that’s seen generations of patients.

If the appointment book is open, call (847) 433-9350. Directions are easiest through the map—just don’t expect a valet. Some things in Highland Park haven’t changed, and that’s not always a bad thing.
