A practice that grows with the people it serves
Associates in Dentistry has been part of Central Illinois for more than five decades. What started as a local dental practice has grown into something larger, with multiple doctors, teams and locations working together across the region.
The goal was never to become bigger for the sake of being bigger. It was to build a practice where patients could find the dental care they need as their lives and their families change, while still having a doctor and team they know.

It started with one practice
Over the years, more doctors joined the practice. New locations followed. The team grew, the technology changed and the range of treatment expanded.
What didn't change was the basic idea behind the practice: build relationships with patients and take care of them well.
Today, AID serves patients from four locations across Central Illinois. Each office has its own team and personality, but they're connected by the same practice and the same history.
There's more behind your dental care
A larger practice can give doctors access to resources that aren't always available in a smaller office.
At AID, doctors share knowledge, technology and support across the practice. That matters when a patient needs something more involved than a routine visit. It also means the practice can continue adding new capabilities without losing the relationships that patients have built with their doctors.
This means you have more options when you need them, while still getting personal care from a doctor who knows you.
Four offices, four communities
AID isn't four copies of the same dental office. Each location has its own doctors, team and history in the community.
Some patients have been coming to the same AID office for years. Others are discovering us for the first time. Either way, they're joining a practice that's grown by becoming part of the communities it serves.
The people make the practice
Technology, treatment options and four locations can tell you something about AID. They don't tell you what it's actually like to be a patient here.
That comes down to the people.
Our doctors have different backgrounds, interests and areas of focus. Our teams know the patients who walk through their doors. And because AID has grown over time, some of those relationships have lasted for years and across generations.
A practice that keeps evolving
AID isn't the same practice it was in 1972. It shouldn't be.
Dentistry has changed. Technology has changed. The needs of our patients have changed. We've continued to invest in the practice so our doctors can keep up with all three.
But growth doesn't mean losing sight of what made people choose AID in the first place.
