Choices in Dentistry

Choices in Dentistry is a multi-provider integrative and holistic dental practice located in the Loop neighborhood of downtown Chicago, with a team that includes Dr. Garrett Solecki, Dr. Patricia Gilleran, and Dr. Nellie Sutherland. The practice describes its approach as combining the best of biological and holistic dentistry with proven traditional treatments and core functional medicine, an approach they call integrative care, with an emphasis on questioning tradition, identifying the source of problems, and choosing the healthiest and safest materials. The practice has served patients for over 30 years.

Services include safe mercury filling removal, ozone therapy, microscopic plaque screening, oral bacteria testing, gum disease therapy, TMJ and headache treatment, myofunctional therapy, metal-free crowns, digital X-rays taken only when needed, dental implants, root canal options, white fillings, sleep apnea treatment, Perio Protect, and cosmetic services including teeth whitening, veneers, and Invisalign.

Choices in Dentistry is a strong fit for The Filtery’s Non-Toxic Directory. The office is S.M.A.R.T.-certified for the safe removal of mercury fillings, using high-powered air filtration, a medical-grade charcoal rinse, and a nitrile protective barrier to prevent mercury exposure to the patient, staff, and other patients during removal. When filling a cavity, the practice uses biocompatible ceramic resin rather than metal materials. The practice’s organizational affiliations include the Holistic Dental Association and the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH), as shown by the logos displayed on the website.

The practice is not contracted with any insurance provider but will process claims with a patient’s insurance company, and also offers an in-house membership plan for patients without insurance. Virtual consultations are not mentioned. New patients can book online at choicesindentistry.com or by calling (312) 368-8771.
