Dr. Allen says that the best part about being an orthodontist is the opportunity to build close relationships with patients and their families. He enjoys witnessing not only the physical transformations orthodontic treatment provides but the emotional transformations as well. Patients often experience a renewed sense of self-esteem when their new smile is revealed. Celebrating these moments at the end of a successful treatment is truly an amazing honor.
Dr. Allen graduated from Utah State University before earning his dental degree from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry, graduating first in his class. Later, he earned his Certificate in Orthodontics and Master of Science in Dentistry at VCU. Following his residency, he practiced in Colorado for a few years before coming to the Chicagoland area.
He is dedicated to learning and stays on top of the latest technology in dentistry and orthodontics. He is an active member of the Illinois Society of Orthodontists, and the American Academy of Orthodontists.
