Marcus Wright, DDS

Dr. Wright is simply the best! I travel from to Chicago to Maywood to see him, well worth the trip from any where. He is the most caring dentist me or my husband have ever experienced. His attention to detail and care keeps me coming back.

Dr. Wright hands-​down is the BEST dentist in the greater Chicago area. Having been to various dentists throughout my life, I have had a wide array of experiences; Dr. Wright amazes me. The amount of detail and time spent performing even the most minor procedures attests to his strive for perfection.
While I live in central Chicago, my work is in the Maywood area and I’m glad it is or I would’ve never found him. Sure Maywood is not the prime location to be, but for those in close by areas (Forest/​Oak/​Melrose Parks, North Riverside, Broadview, Westchester), I would whole heartily suggest Dr. Wright as your dentist.
I’m a pretty hard critic (as you can see from my previous posts), so you can believe that this guy (in my opinion) is stellar. Dentistry is somewhat like the optometry business where if you’re sinister and unscrupulous, you can make a killing from offering your patient unnecessary procedures. For example, the dentist I saw prior to Dr. Wright estimated costs in the range of $ 280/​tooth (with insurance) fillings, which was a fat lie as that dentist was a cosmetic dentist who wanted to put in cosmetic fillings instead of medically necessary ones and managed to dress it up as being my only option. Dr. Wright took into consideration my cosmetic goals in conjunction with what would be best for my cavities and used a top notch resin-​based composite for my fillings and achieved the same, if not better, results as the cosmetic dentist had to offer at ¹⁄₁₆^th of the price!!! He’s so smooth with his work I actually fell asleep during my fillings! And no more tiring of your jaw, this guy thinks about your comfort and actually puts in a bite block so you don’t have to strain. He’s the first dentist I’ve had to incorporate a bite block! Wow!
His office is in a new building, he uses advanced computerized imaging, his materials are top notch, his receptionist and dental assistants are friendly as well. And there’s plenty of reading material.
I could rant and rave more. I am effusive each time I see him as I am so pleased with his high quality care and not offering unnecessary procedures. Also maximizing my insurance benefits. While I think this is extraordinary of him, he would probably be baffled to hear that majority of dentists don’t advocate for their patient, but rather for their pocket.
Should I remain in Chicago after my 4-​year stint, you better believe I’m gonna drive from downtown Chicago all the way to Maywood for my dental checks.
Other pros: Extended hours
Cons: none! Maybe location if you’re coming from Chicago.
