Mission & Vision

PARK AVENUE DENTAL CARE is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art dentistry in an atmosphere of excellence and integrity. We believe each patient is entitled to respect and quality care as if the patient were our family member or ourselves. So, in developing a mutual relationship, we will work together to achieve personal oral health goals.

Welcome to Park Avenue Dental Care!

Your “home” for accessible, affordable, advanced dentistry in Homewood

We strive to be more than a place to occasionally “park” when urgent dental matters arise. Park Avenue Dental Care is committed to serving as your “home” for trusted, complete dentistry for the whole family, in good times and otherwise, and not just when an aching tooth gets to be too much. In fact, by truly partnering with individuals and their families from across Homewood, Illinois, and the greater southern suburbs, Drs James J. Kreuz, Gregory J. Duffner, and Alexander J. Dolinar prevent the disease and damage that causes toothaches to occur in the first place.

Each dentist sets the tone; they lean into only the best, most dedicated team, who treat you as a “one-of-a-kind” individual. Truly caring care is delivered within a friendly, inviting, warm, and authentically home-like setting. We also believe that everyone deserves to have access to high-quality care and that it shouldn’t cost a fortune to get the services that you need to maintain your health and well-being, as well as a pleasing smile.

This is more than “lip service.” Our commitment to affordable, accessible, quality dentistry shows in our lifting of many barriers that stand between our patients and their getting the treatments they need, want, and deserve.

- To lift financial barriers, we offer a range of payment options, including flexible and cost-effective financing through CareCredit®.

- To remove scheduling constraints, we offer extended evening and weekend hours. We also take great pride in our short wait times and efficient yet unhurried care. We respect your time but don’t rush the process. We make the most of your time by seeing and visiting with you, not leaving you to sit in a lobby for an extended time instead.

- To reduce any logistical barriers, we are conveniently located near the Homewood Metra station.

- To ease any dental fears and anxieties that present obstacles to routine visits or urgent treatments alike, we have invested in top, highly trained, non-judgmental, and passionate talent, as well as advanced technologies like laser dentistry. State-of-the-art technologies have minimized or eliminated many “triggers” for dental apprehension and fear. They help us to provide the most comfortable, relaxing, and painless experience, in addition to precision treatment that supports optimal outcomes and encourages fast and predictable healing.

From routine check-ups to naturally beautiful veneers, attractive crowns, durable bridges, sophisticated implant restoration, and other advanced cosmetic and restorative dentistry procedures, Park Avenue Dental Care really does it all—and does it well. Schedule a visit to see and experience our distinctive approach to dentistry for all. Your friends in Homewood, IL, can be reached at (708) 792-2779.
