Preventative Dentistry
Our preventative care focuses on early detection and maintenance through regular cleanings, comprehensive exams, and patient education. We use digital X-rays and gum measurements to create personalized intervention strategies, offering treatments like sealants and fluoride applications. Custom nightguards and athletic mouthguards protect against grinding and sports-related injuries while TMJ therapy addresses jaw disorders.
Restorative Dentistry
We specialize in restoring dental function with tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures using advanced materials. Our team performs precise extractions, bone grafting, and implant restorations while employing intra-oral cameras for accurate diagnostics. Treatments preserve natural tooth structure through minimally invasive techniques and durable, aesthetic solutions.

Transform your appearance with Invisalign clear aligners, Zoom! whitening, and porcelain veneers. Our Botox treatments address facial aesthetics while cosmetic contouring refines tooth shape.

Dr. Ma at Stephens Dentistry is an exceptional dentist. She is attentive to your needs and questions, gentle, and explains very clearly and thoroughly how your teeth are doing. The whole office makes an effort to know every patient personally and you are always greeted by name when you arrive for your appointment. Everyone I've interacted with at Stephens over the years (many years now) has been very friendly, professional, and provides nothing but the best service.
It's true that you pay top dollar, but they also make sure that you get every single dollar's worth out of it and more. When a night guard I received from them didn't work for me, they provided me with additional options with no further cost until the problem was solved. I seriously cannot recommend Stephens enough if you are in need of a new dentist!

Fantastic dental care! Yesterday Dr. Bob replaced an old, chipped crown on one of my lower back molars. He explained everything he was doing as he worked, and he and the hygienist kept reassuring me that I was "doing a great job". (They were actually the ones who did the great job.) The entire process was pain-free, and I was in and out with a new crown in just over two hours. STEPHENS DENTISTRY is the place to go for all your dental care-everything from routine cleaning and x-rays to state-of-the-art crowns that are completed in a single visit.

I have been going to Stephens Dentistry since moving to Evanston in 2007. My childhood fear of going to the dentist was put to ease by Dr. Jim. He listened to me and understood what he needed to do to ease my fears. Since his retirement I have had regular check ups with Dr. Bob who is an understanding as his brother. Recently, I had an issue with my jaw and bite and saw Dr. Ma. She listened to me when I explained my bite didn't feel right and my jaw was sore.
She asked if I was under any stress. I broke down in tears and said yes, 2021 had been a really hard. She was kind, caring, and compassionate and she came up with a plan to fix the problem. Over the years I have had several different hygienist for my twice yearly cleanings. I feel as though I've gotten to know them and I am comfortable with any of them scraping away the stains left on my teeth from my coffee and red wine habits. The receptionists are efficient, helpful, and friendly. I would not hesitate in recommending Stephens Dentistry to anyone in need of a new dentist.

I've been seeing dentists at Stephen's Dentistry for a decade. All the staff are warm and welcoming. The dentist's use state-of-art technology and clearly look out for my interests which gives me confidence I'm getting the best possible dental care. Since Dr. Ma joined the practice I've seen her as my primary dentist for routine check ups after cleanings. She is very special, like a friend we share family stores.
Recently a cap on a front tooth cracked and both caps needed to be replaced, after living with them for 50 years. I dreaded having the dental work done, expecting like the old days painful novocaine injections and worrying the new cap would not match my other teeth. But there was no pain, the caps were perfect. Dr. Ma and her assistant Linda explained every step. They even called the next day to see how I was doing.
Can't get better than that. After my wife's dentist retired I convinced my wife to be a patient in the practice. She too has the same feelings about the care and especially how terrific is Dr. Ma. Thank you all, see you in six months for my next cleaning.
