Our town is the kind of place where people still know their neighbors, support local businesses, and care about where things come from. Lake Ellyn Dental fits right in. We’re an independent Glen Ellyn dental office with deep roots in this community, and everything we do reflects that, from how we answer the phone to how we treat you in the chair. It’s why patients here don’t just stay for an appointment—they stay for decades.
Lake Ellyn Dental has been right here in Glen Ellyn since the late 1960s, when Dr. Hooper opened his doors in the same brick building that still stands today. His approach was simple: take your time, know your patients, and do right by them. It worked. Patients kept coming back and kept bringing their families.
In the early 1990s, Dr. Wardell took over and carried that philosophy forward for more than thirty years. His wife, Joan, ran the front desk for nearly all of them. When the time came to retire, finding the right person to carry the practice forward mattered more than anything else.
Today, Lake Ellyn Dental finds its next chapter in Dr. Esposito. She’s a Glen Ellyn local who loves everything this community has to offer, and that’s exactly why this practice felt like home. She’s not here to start over. She’s here to honor what made it last, and keep it moving forward.
Some of our patients have been coming here through all three dentists. That’s not something you can manufacture. It’s what happens when a practice spends six decades putting people first. The details have changed over the years. The commitment hasn’t, and you’ll feel that from the moment you walk through the door.
A lot of dental offices try to make you comfortable with things. We’d rather make you comfortable with people. Here’s what that looks like here:
Good dentistry has always been about skill and trust. The right technology just makes both of those things easier. At our dental office near Lombard, here’s what we’re working with:
One appointment. One crown. No temporaries, no return visits.
No trays, no mess. A quick scan and a more accurate result.
See exactly what we see, in real time.
Less radiation, faster results, reviewed with you on the spot.
Six decades of loyal patients is a pretty good track record, but we’re not resting on it. Our Glen Ellyn dentist is still working every day to earn the kind of trust that keeps people coming back for years. New patient or old neighbor, our door is always open. Come in and see for yourself.
