Meet Dr. Chavez
My profession enables me to use my talents to help people maintain their health and achieve a confident smile. As a dentist, I get to know each of my patients as a person, listening to what’s important to them. I focus on building trust, and with that comes the understanding that I am here to help and want them to have the wonderful smile they deserve. I know I’ve made a difference when patients leave our office smiling and happy.
Education
- Undergraduate Degree – Hope College, Holland, Michigan
- Doctorate of Dental Surgery – University of Illinois College of Dentistry, Chicago, Illinois
Over the years, I have taken many continuing dental education courses, which enable me to remain informed of the latest techniques and materials to better serve my patients. My memberships with the Wheaton Dental Society, Chicago Dental Society, Illinois State Dental Association, and American Dental Association facilitate my ongoing educational journey.
Community Involvement
In addition to my practice, I am also an instructor in the dental hygiene program at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. My volunteer commitments include working at the Chicago Dental Society Foundation Community Clinic performing free dental services for the poor and uninsured in Wheaton.
Outside the Office
A native of Wheaton, I currently reside with my wife Lynne and our two pugs. We have been blessed with four children and three grandchildren, all of whom bring us so much joy. When I’m not in the office, I can be found spending time with my family, playing a round or two of golf, or taking a stroll around the neighborhood.
