About Comfort Dental Studio

Dr. White opened his first dental office in 1992, four blocks from his childhood home on the south side of Chicago. Many of Dr. White’s early patients knew his parents and him from a young age and he took great pride in doing his best work for his patients because they were his friends and neighbors. He took great care to set a professional example that would make his parents proud. Comfort Dental Studio has moved a couple of times since then and has also grown to a 2-practice office and the patients who come in are from all over the world, but the philosophy in which we operate has not changed. We don’t have a fast-paced office. We focus on delivering great quality dental care on a personalized basis. We deliver the best work with each procedure to help ensure dental treatments are done well the first time. We are looking for team members who will embrace these principles and our work culture.
