A Rich History of Smiles & Service

United Dental Centers has been a part of the Whiting community since 1989, and we feel privileged to have had the opportunity to get to know and serve multiple generations of local families over the years. We believe that the true marker of our success is that many of our child patients end up bringing their own little ones to come see us because they have so much trust in our team and how we live our values.

A Tradition of Dental Excellence

Meet Your Dentists

Our dental practice has earned and maintained its sterling reputation thanks in large part to the friendliness, skill, and compassion of our dentists in Whiting. Rather than simply telling you which procedures to get and moving on, they’ll strive to make your dental care a collaborative process, one where your unique needs, wants, and preferences are included in your treatment plan to ensure a smooth experience and superb results.
