We only exist to help you maintain the best oral health and take pride in modern techniques that improve your smile.

Comfortable treatment and trustworthy information are the most frequent concerns expressed by dental patients. A few carefully chosen words on a website will not be enough to convince you of these comittments. Our patients represent the best testament to these practice values.

In 1980, Dr. Zichterman and his wife, Karen (eight months pregnant at the time), moved to Peoria because it is a great place to raise a family. Karen grew up here and Dr. Zichterman bought into the practice of her life-long dentist. These roots support the family and friends we hold so dear.

Our commitment to our family and yours is our highest goal. Treating so many generations of families here has strengthened our mission to provide the best care for you and your family.

Good health decisions require clear information free of bias and profit motive. Some medical “enterprises” use websites to draw patients to them. Dr. Zichterman believes that personal referrals of trusted friends are the best assurance to someone seeking dental care. We are proud that our best advertising rests in the support our current patients provide us by referring their friends.

Hopefully, we can best use this site to help you educate yourselves. The blizzard of conflicting health information we see every day helps confuse, not enlighten us. Perhaps with links to reliable, non-biased research centers and newsletters that we trust and endorse, you can best decide on dental health products, healthy behavior, and dental treatment.

This is just a good start. Our journey together has many twists and turns, setbacks and gains, suffering and relief. We pledge to help reduce the twists, setbacks and suffering through our own continuing education to best support your health and comfort.
