About Our Practice
Comprehensive, State-of-the-Art Care
We offer comprehensive dentistry dedicated to providing long-lasting solutions that consider not only your teeth and mouth but also your whole body.
Dr. Marcus is a highly trained general, cosmetic, and implant dentist who has also undertaken considerable advanced training in all aspects of dentistry to provide top-quality care. In 2022 he was acknowledged as one of America’s best dentists by Newsweek.
Founded by Family
Dr. Michael Marcus’ dental practice was founded by his father, Dr. David Marcus, in 1961. It has been in the same landmark building in downtown Chicago since 1978.
Dr. David Marcus, often referred to as the “dentist’s dentist,” motivated his son, Dr. Michael Marcus, to follow in his footsteps. “I was so lucky to be born to him and assist him and watch his methods, his demeanor, his humanity and his pursuit of perfection,” Dr. Michael Marcus says. “I am blessed today to still care for many patients who my father took care of.”

Friendly, Comfortable Office
Every patient is personally welcomed into our office and made to feel comfortable by our wonderful and helpful office staff. You will be treated like family from the moment you walk through our door.
Oral-Conscious Sedation at no additional cost
For any nerves or jitters going into a procedure, we offer oral conscious sedation at no additional cost. This medication produces a deep sense of relaxation and calmness before and during your procedure.
State-of-the-Art Technology
Dr. Marcus uses a variety of modern dental technologies, including 3D X-rays with our dental CT scanner to get a detailed view of your teeth, mouth, bone and jaw.
We use technology across treatments to make your dental care accurate, efficient and comfortable.
- Digital scanners to obtain accurate impressions of your teeth.
- 3D software for designing crowns and planning implant surgery.
- Our own in-house milling machine to place permanent crowns in one visit.
- Gentle dental lasers to recontour gums.
- Cold laser to treat inflammation in the jaw joint or gums.
- Jaw joint vibration analysis to assess for problems with the TMJ.
Preventative and Whole-Body Focused Care
At our practice, we look beyond just teeth to support your overall health. This includes airway-focused orthodontics that improve sleep and energy, and state-of-the-art treatment to resolve TMJ issues and headaches related to TMJ disorder. We use guided biofilm therapy (GBT) for optimal oral hygiene. GBT completely removes the biofilm on which bacteria thrive, and can stop gum disease progression, or reverse it in the early stages.
We use high-grade materials that are biocompatible, and provide metal-free fillings and crowns.
