Where Families Feel Known, Not Just Scheduled
At Meyer Dental Group in Mount Prospect, family dentistry has never been about rushing people in and out of treatment rooms. For Dr. Tom Meyer and Dr. Ellie Meyer, it’s about knowing the families we care for — not just their teeth. We learn your routines, your concerns, your kids’ hobbies, and even who needs a little extra reassurance before a cleaning. When you walk through our doors, you’re not walking into a clinic… you’re walking into a place that feels familiar.
Our approach is simple: we want every visit — whether it’s a cleaning, a checkup, or a more involved appointment — to leave you feeling better than when you arrived. That’s the Meyer touch. It’s calm, thoughtful, and grounded in the belief that your oral health is deeply connected to the rest of your life.
Dentistry That Looks Beyond the Toothache
Most people think of family dentistry as “cleanings and fillings.” And yes, we do those — gently and thoroughly. But we also look a bit deeper. Over the years, we’ve seen how breathing patterns, jaw movement, posture, stress, and sleep can all influence the health of your mouth. So while the basics matter, understanding you matters more.
With families, this approach makes a huge difference.
• For kids, it helps us spot little issues early — before they become big ones.
• For teens, it keeps them comfortable and confident during an age when everything is changing anyway.
• For adults, it means we’re paying attention to long-term comfort, not temporary fixes.
• For older adults, it helps protect their bite, their function, and their quality of life.
Our patients often tell us, “I feel like you took the time to really understand what’s going on.”
That’s exactly what we hope for.
A Family Practice With Family Values
One of the reasons people feel at ease in our office is because Meyer Dental Group truly is a family practice — in every sense of the word. Dr. Tom has spent decades caring for generations of families in Mount Prospect. Dr. Ellie continues that legacy with a calm, relatable, modern approach that puts people at ease from the moment they sit down.
The two of them share the same philosophy:
• Listen first.
• Treat gently.
• Explain clearly.
• Never pressure.
• Care for the whole person, not just the problem.
It’s a slower, more thoughtful style of dentistry — one that gives people space to breathe (literally and figuratively). And for many families, that’s exactly what they’ve been looking for.
Everyday Dental Care, Done With Care
We offer everything your family needs under one roof — the routine and the not-so-routine — but we approach it all with the same level of attention and calm.
Our Family Dentistry includes:
• Regular checkups
• Dental hygiene visits
• X-rays when needed
• Kids’ dental care
• White fillings
• Crowns & bridges
• Root canals
• Gum health support
• Oral appliances for snoring and sleep issues
• TMJ and bite-related care
• Clear aligners
• Cosmetic treatments
• Full mouth restoration when life gets complicated
• And gentle, steady guidance at every step
But more important than the list is how the experience feels. Families tell us they never feel rushed. Kids feel safe. Adults feel heard. And everyone leaves with a clear understanding of what’s going on and what comes next.
What Makes the Meyer Touch Different?
It’s not one thing — it’s the combination of many small things done well:
• A calm office atmosphere
• Appointments that aren’t hurried
• A team that remembers your name, not just your chart
• Conversations that make sense (no complicated dental jargon)
• Treatment plans designed around your comfort and long-term wellness
• A genuine belief that your oral health affects your overall well-being
And underneath all of that is something even simpler:
We care about the people sitting in the chairs — not just the dentistry we’re doing.
Dentistry Should Feel Human (And Maybe Even a Little Fun)
A lot of patients have walked into our office expecting the usual “clinical experience”… and then end up laughing with Dr. Tom about fishing trips or chatting with Dr. Ellie about the best local coffee shops. Dentistry doesn’t have to feel cold or intimidating. It can feel warm. Supportive. Even enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a family dentist in Mount Prospect where your entire family feels relaxed, understood, and genuinely cared for — you’ll feel right at home here.
