EVEN MORE TO SMILE ABOUT

As many Hinsdale residents already know, Hinsdale Orthodontics has a long history of treating local patients and their families. What really sets them apart, however, is their commitment to treating the whole child throughout their dental development lifespan. This deep-seated commitment has recently led the orthodontic practice to unveil a new service to their patients in addition to braces and clear aligner care, Hinsdale Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry now offers pediatric dentistry, and they’re the only practice in Hinsdale to offer both.

So, what is it that makes Hinsdale Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry’s dual pediatric orthodontic approach so impactful? In short, this comprehensive manner of care allows Dr. Susan Blair and Dr. Nick Riccio to assess your child’s dental development throughout every major growth milestone, helping them to combat dental anxiety, start orthodontic treatment when the time is right, and walk them through new life phases with comfortability and familiarity.

As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Blair has spent years working with children, learning to curb dental anxiety by making treatment feel fun and exciting. The team makes an effort to teach children the “why” behind oral hygiene in a light-hearted and easy-to-understand manner that puts kids at ease, even when dental checkups are new to them. Something any parent can appreciate.

Not only are Dr. Blair and Dr. Ricco board-certified practitioners, but they are also parents and understand the full picture. Being a dual pediatric dentist and orthodontist is Dr. Blair’s self-confessed dream job, and this passion is evident in her work. She takes the time to get to know each patient and their families, learning about their lives and interests as she goes.

Her training as a pediatric dentist allows her to have a deeper understanding of the growth and development of facial structures and dentition, which enriches her skills as an orthodontist in turn. In fact, Dr. Blair is the area’s only dual board-certified pediatric dentist and orthodontist, a testament to her expertise.

When the pediatric dental side of your child’s oral health makes way for orthodontic treatment, Dr. Blair and Dr. Riccio, a husband-wife team, work together to provide expert braces and aligner treatment plans that make their smiles picture-perfect.

Operating on a patient-first model, Dr. Riccio shares the commitment to serving patients and their evolving needs that his wife does. As a trained expert in the Damon® brace system, Invisalign® clear aligner therapy, cutting-edge 3D imaging, and LASER gum sculpting, he makes it a goal to meet every patient’s aesthetic and functional needs, whatever they may be.

Together, the Hinsdale Orthodontic & Pediatric Dentistry team believes in making the process of dental care—from start to finish—a fun and memorable experience for their patients.
