We are an extraordinary group of highly skilled professionals who have mastered the art of dentistry.

Not your typical dental office
A new standard of care

Forget the old-school, reactive dental visit where we fix issues once they happen. At Lakeshore East Dental Arts, we’re changing the conversation and flipping the entire experience on its head.

We’re anchored by a single, game-changing philosophy:

**What if we could prevent dental damage before it even starts?**

That question is at the heart of everything we do. This is a new standard of proactive, forward-thinking oral health.

The all-digital experience

We’ve created a 100% digital environment, but it's about more than just being paperless or throwing out those old gooey dental molds. For you, this means highly accurate diagnostics and predictable results often times where you can see the results even before we even do the work.

We leverage AI whenever possible to provide crystal-clear patient education. Our state-of-the-art Green Radiology, for example, isn't just "green" because it uses up to 52% less radiation (about the same as eating a banana). It's also smarter. Advanced AI color-codes your X-rays, instantly taking the guesswork out of what you’re looking at.

A visual, “Co-Discovery” approach

What if you could see your mouth with total clarity, just like your dentist does?

We believe in “co-discovery.” Using our advanced imaging and AI-powered tools, we give you a visual tour of your oral health. No confusing jargon. No being told what you need. Instead, we explore together, giving you a clear, easy-to-understand picture that empowers you to make smart, confident decisions for both your short- and long-term health.

Inspired by nature,
Crafted by art

Proactive care is the cornerstone of our practice. It’s a fundamental mindset shift that sets you up for long-term oral health, helping you avoid the damage — and the costly repairs — that come from a “wait-and-see” approach. Ultimately, this helps our patients limit future dental problems by identifying them early and avoiding the costs associated with them.

We love letting nature lead the way. Using breakthrough nanodentistry techniques, we can actively help your teeth remineralize and heal, preventing cavities from ever becoming something that needs to be drilled. It's smarter, less invasive, and simply a better and easier way. Oh, and we’re just getting started!

Expertise with effervescence

You can have the best technology in the world, but it’s the people who make the real difference. Our team is constantly “drinking from the firehose of education,” relentlessly training to lead the field with the latest, most effective techniques.

This cutting-edge approach is built on a solid foundation of over 50 years of combined clinical experience.

But beyond the credentials and decades of expertise, our team just has a special effervescence. It’s a genuine energy and warmth that’s hard to describe, but you’ll feel it the moment you walk through our doors.

This is dentistry, reimagined. Come experience the Lakeshore East Dental Arts difference.

Dr. Scott Overholser

OWNER | DENTIST

I am a long-time resident of Lakeshore East with 28 years of dentistry experience. I firmly believe that Dentistry can change people’s lives which really drives my passion for the field. I love using the latest technology with modern techniques to create extraordinary patient results.

Over the course of my career, I have been lucky enough to work with the amazing people in the Chicago community as well as visiting celebrities and international royalty. With 100’s of 5-star reviews on Google, I fundamentally believe in open communication; patient education and a gentle touch to ensure a comfortable experience that empowers patients. To help create my practice environment, I only work with like-minded dentists and staff who are warm, empathetic and passionate about creating a great experience for our patients.

Originally a Hoosier, I received my DDS from Indiana University and grew up in nearby Mooresville outside of Indianapolis, Indiana. When I'm not in the office, I love being a tourist in my own city and spending time with my family, pet bulldog and cat.
