Northwestern Dental Group

Dental offices in Vernon Hills tend to cluster near the main retail strips, but this one sits just off Milwaukee Avenue in Hawthorn Village Commons. The area’s a mix of medical offices and quick-service spots, so parking fills up fast during weekday lunches. Routine cleanings, fillings, and crowns are all handled here, along with the usual X-rays and exams. Some dentists in the area push cosmetic procedures hard, but this practice keeps its focus on general and preventative care.

Finding the entrance is easy—it’s at 264 Hawthorn Village Commons, Vernon Hills, IL 60061, tucked between a dry cleaner and a sandwich shop. The building’s low-slung, with that early-2000s suburban office look: beige brick and a flat roof. Inside, they handle everything from root canals to basic extractions, though you’ll want to call ahead for anything beyond standard checkups. New patient paperwork can usually be started online, but some forms still require in-person signatures.

For turn-by-turn directions, the map listing shows the fastest route from Route 60. This stretch of Vernon Hills stays quiet after 6 p.m., when most of the nearby offices close up.
