Names Illinois, Michigan, and LaGrange as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published. ## Accreditation and credentials Generations Family Dentistry publishes its payment and financing information on a dedicated Financing page. Payment is expected at the time of service, and the office accepts cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Patients may also pay online through a secure payment link provided on the site. The practice offers assisted financial plans through CareCredit, which it describes as an affordable option used by many patients to pay for dental treatment; CareCredit is stated to offer 0% financing with monthly payment options that can be used for co-payments, deductibles, treatment, and procedures not covered by insurance, with more information available at www.CareCredit.com. The practice states it accepts most dental insurance plans and will file dental insurance claims for patients as a courtesy. Staff will provide a treatment plan including an estimated out-of-pocket expense, and will ask patients to pay their estimated portion at the time of service. The site is explicit that it cannot guarantee any estimated insurance coverage, that dental insurance typically pays only a portion of care, that cosmetic procedures like whitening are not covered by insurance, and that patients are responsible for any outstanding balance if actual insurance benefits are less than anticipated. The website does not publish specific prices, rates, or fees for any procedure; a specific cost estimate or quote must come from the office directly, not from this listing.

The site describes a dental implant as consisting of a titanium post that serves as the root of the replacement tooth, a porcelain crown, and an abutment that attaches the crown to the implant, and states that with proper oral care an implant can replace a natural tooth for a lifetime. Benefits listed on the site include convenience (no eating restrictions or speaking impediments once placed), oral health (implants are described as the only tooth-replacement option that helps prevent bone loss in the jawline), reliability (implant placement surgery is described as having a success rate of over 95%), and confidence (implants are described as nearly indistinguishable from natural teeth). The site describes the process as beginning with Dr. Shah taking x-rays to determine optimal implant placement along the jawline, after which the abutment and crown are attached during restoration procedures; most patients are reported to experience less pain during recovery than with wisdom teeth extraction, with any discomfort treatable with over-the-counter pain medication. The website does not publish a price or cost range for implants; patients should contact the office for a personalized cost estimate or quote.

The practice's own site states she was born and raised in Flint, Michigan, and graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2002. She then completed a one-year intensive General Practice Residency, a hospital-based training program, at Advocate Illinois Masonic. She subsequently worked in a private practice office in Oak Lawn, served part time on the medical staff at Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital training future dentists, and later worked with the University of Chicago Dental Department providing treatment to underserved children at La Rabida Children's Hospital through their mobile unit. She has been providing care at Generations Family Dentistry since 2013. The site states she is a member of the Spear Study Club and Spencer Study Club, and holds membership with the American Dental Association, the Illinois State Dental Society, and the Chicago Dental Society. The published page emphasizes preventative dentistry through routine checkups.

The site invites patients to schedule a consultation with Dr. Shah to find out if invisible braces are right for them. Separately, the practice's Cleanings and Exams page describes comprehensive oral examinations, stating that regular in-office exams are essential for preventing disease even for patients with good home hygiene; a cleaning is described as taking approximately 30 minutes, after which the dentist examines the mouth. The practice also offers fluoride treatment to help inhibit tooth decay, applied as a gel, foam, or varnish or prescribed as a supplement, and states it may be recommended for patients with chronic dry mouth, early-stage gum disease, or a history of frequent cavities. Dental sealants are offered as a preventive procedure for permanent molars around ages 6 to 12, using a tooth-colored material to protect the deep grooves of back teeth from decay. The website does not publish pricing for any of these services; contact the office directly for a cost estimate, quote, or to schedule an appointment.
