Services
Emergency Dentistry
Our Chicago practice provides urgent dental care for tooth pain, broken teeth, and oral injuries. With same-day appointments available, we use advanced diagnostics to quickly address infections, extractions, and restorative needs. Patients receive immediate pain relief through root canals, temporary crowns, or extraction procedures performed by experienced dentists.
CEREC Same Day Crowns
Utilizing CAD/CAM technology, we create custom ceramic crowns during a single appointment. After digital impressions and 3D modeling, our milling machines produce durable restorations that match natural tooth color. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns while preserving tooth structure through minimally invasive preparation techniques.
Dental Implants
We offer permanent solutions for missing teeth using titanium implant posts integrated into the jawbone. Our All-on-4 technique provides full-arch restoration with fewer implants, while traditional single-tooth replacements maintain facial structure and chewing function. Bone grafting ensures successful placement for patients with jaw deterioration.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
This orthodontic treatment uses clear plastic trays to gradually reposition teeth for improved aesthetics and bite alignment. Custom-fitted aligners are removable for meals and cleaning, with treatment plans developed using digital imaging to map tooth movement over 12-18 months for most patients.
Family Dentistry
We provide comprehensive care for all ages, including preventive cleanings, fluoride treatments, and oral cancer screenings. Our services address developmental needs in children, orthodontic timing, and age-specific concerns like dry mouth management in seniors through regular checkups and personalized hygiene education.

I LOVE this place - the staff are so nice and helpful with everything from scheduling to insurance pre-approval to ensuring a positive experience with x-rays, cleaning, and exam. I felt like I could be honest about my flossing and interval since my last cleaning because nobody was judgemental. The cleaning was quick, painless, and thorough. The dentist was professional and friendly. My teeth feel amazing and clean. I will definitely be coming back and recommending East Village Dental to everyone!

Like many, I have major anxiety going to the dentist and I put it off entirely too long. I was able to schedule an urgent, last minute visit for Saturday morning and the entire experience was amazing. The staff at the front desk was courteous and helped ease my nerves. Dr. Treinkman and his assistant were beyond kind, approachable and communicated each phase of my work to help ease my nerves. I was able to get a root canal and crown done in the same visit, and have found my go-to dentist office. And learned a very painful lesson to go to the dentist every 6 months!

You'd think this place was run by car salesmen, not medical doctors. Instead of professional consultation, they made me watch a fear-inducing youtube video about gum disease, followed by an administrator coming in and asking me for a credit card for a $1600 procedure itemized on a bill that she couldn't answer any questions about, and they were planning to start the treatment right away!
I didn't even get to speak with the doctor or ask any questions! Absolutely no! When I told them I was uncomfortable and I think I need to go somewhere else, they agreed to not charge me for the appointment so I left. But they apparently changed their mind because they are billing me anyway, even after acknowledging their scammy behavior! To make matters worse, they said they were going to root out the employee that screwed up, but the pettiness and nerve it takes to charge me for the visit make it clear the problems at this place start at the top.

I am so grateful I found East Village Dental. I came upon this practice while desperately searching for an emergency dental appointment for my unbearable toothache which didn't seem to go away. I was very happy to find that I was able to look for available appointments on their website and they happened to have an emergency appointment available the next morning. My appointment was very pleasant from the moment I walked in.
I was extremely nervous as I needed to get two wisdom tooth extracted, but I felt very comfortable with Pragna through the anesthetic procedure, she is extremely professional and explained everything to me in great detail. Dr. Gary was also amazing through the procedure, and it was over a lot quicker than I thought it would be. I will definitely continue to go here for my long term dental needs.

I went to East Village due to a cavity. The team here is incredibly accommodating and efficient. Dr. Patel took a look as soon as possible, and she was able to execute a root canal and crown on the same day. In addition to being extremely competent and knowledgeable, she has a very gentle touch and I hardly experienced any pain during or after the procedure. I've had terrible experiences with other practices in the past, but East Village is amazing! Highly recommend!
