Dentist in Southwest Chicago

When you’re juggling a busy work schedule, managing a household budget, and trying to keep your family healthy, the last thing you need is to drive across town for quality dental care. Finding a dentist who truly understands the needs of working families while offering the full range of services you need shouldn’t feel like an impossible task, yet many families in Bridgeview, Forest View, and nearby southwest neighborhoods struggle to find a practice that checks all the boxes.

At Floss & Co., we’ve built our practice around the real needs of southwest Chicago families. Located conveniently near Midway Airport, our team provides comprehensive dental care with genuine attention to affordability, scheduling flexibility, and the specialized treatments that can make a real difference in your family’s oral health. Whether you need routine care or advanced services like airway expansion and dental implants, we’re here to support you with the expertise and compassion your family deserves.

Why Southwest Chicago Families Choose Our Practice

Families from Bridgeview and Forest View choose to make the short drive to our practice because they’ve found something rare in today’s dental landscape: a team that combines advanced clinical expertise with an authentic understanding of working-class family needs. We know that dental emergencies don’t wait for convenient moments, that insurance questions can feel overwhelming, and that finding appointments that work around work schedules and school commitments can be a challenge. That’s why we’ve structured our practice differently.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, dental care access remains significantly limited for many working families, with financial barriers preventing routine preventive care. We’ve made it our mission to break down those barriers. We accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer third-party financing through CareQuest and Lending Club, and provide flexible payment plans that make quality dental care accessible rather than aspirational. Our team takes the time to walk you through your insurance benefits and help you understand your options before you commit to treatment.

Beyond affordability, our patients tell us they appreciate our commitment to comprehensive care. Rather than referring you elsewhere for specialized treatments, we provide multiple services under one roof, saving you time and the hassle of coordinating care across multiple offices. From preventive care that keeps your family healthy to advanced treatments that address complex issues, we’ve invested in the technology, training, and team expertise to serve you well.

Full-Service Dental Care for Your Family

We offer the following dental services: 

Airway Expansion / Sleep Apnea Treatment

Quality sleep affects everything from your child’s ability to concentrate in school to your own energy levels at work. Our airway expansion treatment helps children and adults breathe easier by addressing structural issues that restrict airways. For kids, this often means better sleep, improved behavior, and enhanced academic performance. For adults struggling with snoring or sleep apnea, it can be life-changing. Both Dr. Murphy and Dr. Silva include thorough airway assessments in orthodontic consultations, ensuring we identify breathing issues that might otherwise go unnoticed until they’ve caused years of poor sleep and related health problems.

Orthodontics/Clear Aligners/Invisalign

Straightening teeth isn’t just about aesthetics, though feeling confident about your smile certainly matters. Our orthodontic services, including Invisalign and traditional braces, can improve bite function, make teeth easier to clean, and even incorporate airway benefits that improve breathing. We work with teens and adults, understanding that every age group has different concerns and lifestyle considerations. Our flexible financing options make orthodontic treatment feasible for families who might have thought it was financially out of reach.

Dental Implants

Losing a tooth affects more than your smile. It changes how you eat, how you speak, and how you feel about yourself. Our dental implant services provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. With our in-house lab, we can streamline the process and maintain quality control throughout your treatment. Whether you need a single implant or are considering All-on-X implants that replace an entire arch of teeth with fewer incisions and faster healing time, we’ll walk you through your options with transparency about costs and timelines.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

Sometimes addressing years of dental neglect or complex dental health issues requires comprehensive treatment. Our full mouth reconstruction services combine multiple procedures into a coordinated treatment plan that restores both function and appearance. We understand that committing to extensive dental work requires trust, and we earn that trust by clearly explaining each step, providing honest cost estimates, and supporting you throughout the process with compassionate care.

TMJ/TMD Treatment

Chronic jaw pain, frequent headaches, and difficulty chewing can all signal temporomandibular joint problems. Our TMJ/TMD treatment addresses the underlying causes of jaw dysfunction rather than just masking symptoms. From custom nightguards to comprehensive treatment plans, we help patients find relief from pain that may have affected their quality of life for years.
