## About Elite Dental

Elite Dental is a general and family dental practice in Chicago, Illinois, led by Dr. Grace E. Lee, DMD. According to the practice's "Meet Our Team" page, Dr. Lee earned her dental degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, has practiced as a general dentist in the greater Chicago area since graduating, and is a certified provider for Invisalign treatment, braces, oral appliances for obstructive sleep apnea and snoring, TMJ appliances, and implant surgery; she has also become certified in dermal fillers. The team page also lists Dr. Steffy Macwan-Christian, DMD, who graduated from Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Dental Science in Bangalore, India in 2011, practiced general dentistry for four years before moving to the United States in 2015, and completed the Advanced Standing Program at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry in May 2022 to obtain her U.S. dental license; she is listed as an active member of the American Dental Association, the Chicago Dental Society, and the Illinois State Dental Society. The team page also lists non-dentist staff: Rosie Garcia (Office Manager), Alessa Moya (Dental Assistant), Moira Paragas (Dental Assistant), Carissa Moya (Front Desk Receptionist), and Aridai Restrepo (Dental Assistant). The team page does not publish a DMD or DDS credential for a "Dr. Shin"; that name appears only in a patient review elsewhere on the site and is not confirmed as a current team member on the team page itself, so it should not be treated as a credentialed dentist at this practice.

The site also lists orthodontics (Invisalign aligners and braces), sleep apnea appliances, emergency dentistry with same-day emergency appointments, periodontal treatment (Arestin for periodontitis, gingivectomies, chemotherapeutic rinses, and laser pocket treatment), and TMJ treatment (medicinal therapy and custom oral appliances).

The site does not publish a price list for individual services beyond the specials and membership plans described in the practice's separate pricing documents; a patient asking about the cost of a specific procedure should contact the office directly for a quote or estimate, since the site does not price out treatments individually.

## Where Elite Dental works

Elite Dental operates a single office located at 4142 N Sheridan Ave, Chicago, IL 60605, in the Uptown area of Chicago. The practice's contact page describes the address as "near the corner of N. Sheridan Ave. and W. Buena Ave. in uptown Chicago," near Texture Dance Studio and Cesar Luna Hair Salon, and "just a block away from the Uptown branch of Chicago Public Library." The published phone number is (773) 348-6600. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00am to 5:00pm, and Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm; no weekend hours are published, so the office appears closed Saturday and Sunday based on the absence of any listed hours for those days. The contact page includes a form for new and existing patients to submit their name, email, phone number, and a message, and it asks whether the sender is a new patient; the site's main navigation also includes a "Book Now" option for online scheduling. Patients can call the published phone number directly to schedule, reschedule, or ask about an appointment. The service area described on the site is Chicago and the surrounding area; the site calls the practice "your local dentist near Uptown" and states it treats "patients from across Chicago," but it does not publish a separate list of additional service areas or a service radius beyond that description.

Lists Chicago, Uptown, Palo Alto, and Sheridan as a location. Names Illinois, United States, Chicago, and Uptown as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

## Prices

Elite Dental publishes four in-house membership savings plans as an alternative to traditional insurance. The Adult Savings Plan costs $400 per year and is valid for adult patients without periodontal disease; it includes two routine preventive cleanings per year, two routine dental exams per year, one emergency exam per year, one set of x-rays per year, one iTero scanning per year, fluoride varnish treatment twice per year, and 15% off any additional treatment. The Adult Perio Savings Plan costs $500 per year and is valid for adult patients with periodontal disease; it includes four periodontal maintenance visits per year, two routine dental exams per year, one emergency exam per year, one set of x-rays per year, one iTero scanning per year, fluoride varnish treatment twice per year, and 15% off any additional treatment. Two plans are published for children: the Child Savings Plan for ages 0-12 costs $200 per year, and the Child Savings Plan for ages 12-17 costs $250 per year; both include two routine preventive cleanings per year, two routine dental exams per year, one set of x-rays per year, fluoride varnish treatment twice per year, and 15% off any additional treatment. The site states the lowest estimated monthly payment across these plans is $12, though it does not break out the monthly cost of each individual plan. These plans are described as separate from dental insurance, and the site invites patients to ask about them at their next visit; exact eligibility and enrollment details beyond what is listed here are not published.

As of the date this page was read (August 30, 2026), Elite Dental's website advertises three special offers, none of which carries a stated expiration date: a "$139 New Patient Special + Free Electric Toothbrush," covering a comprehensive dental exam and x-ray plus a free travel-size electric toothbrush after the appointment, restricted to uninsured patients only; a "$99 Emergency Special" covering a same-day or next-day emergency appointment with a limited exam and x-ray, also restricted to uninsured patients only; and "$139/mo* for Dental Implants," described as a starting monthly payment with approved financing. Because no end date is published for any of the three, a caller should confirm current pricing and offer status with the office rather than assume an offer is still running. For insurance, the site states Elite Dental accepts "the majority of top dental insurance carriers" and names nine insurers it accepts: Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, Delta Dental, DenteMax, GEHA, Guardian, Humana, and MetLife. The site does not state that any of these carriers are in-network, only that they are accepted, so a patient must call to confirm their specific plan and out-of-pocket costs. For patients without adequate coverage, the site publishes three financing options: HFD Financing, and Cherry and Sunbit financing, described as pay-over-time plans with flexible monthly installments; Cherry and Sunbit are stated to offer "qualifying 0% APR options" after an application process the site says does not affect credit score. Exact rates, fees, and approval terms for any financing partner are set by that partner and are not published on the Elite Dental site itself.

## Patient Comfort Amenities and Languages Spoken

Elite Dental publishes a "Comfort Menu for Dental Anxiety" as part of its patient care. According to the site, patients can request headphones, warm towels, blankets, and aromatherapy during a visit, and the office is described as designed to keep patients "feeling refreshed and relaxed from the moment you enter our waiting room until your treatment is finished," with amenities such as cozy chairs, refreshments, and oil diffusers. Elite Dental publishes that its team speaks Spanish, Korean, Hindi, Gujarati, and Filipino, in addition to English; the site does not specify which staff member speaks which language overall, except that individual team bios note Moira Paragas speaks English, Filipino, and some Spanish, and Aridai Restrepo is fluent in English and Spanish. The practice describes its approach as family-centered, stating it treats "patients of all ages" and aims for a "relaxed, stress-free environment." The site does not publish sedation dentistry options, such as nitrous oxide or IV sedation, beyond the comfort amenities listed above; a patient with dental anxiety who wants to know about sedation should contact the office directly, since the site does not state whether sedation dentistry is offered. Patients interested in these accommodations can ask about them when they call to schedule or book their appointment.
