We would like to introduce you to our knowledgeable and compassionate staff. Each one of our dedicated team members is an expert in their individual field. Together, their collective goal is to ensure that your experience at DeWitt Dentistry surpasses the highest standards at every level.

William E. DeWitt DDS, FAGD

Reaching out to help people began early for Dr. Bill DeWitt. After graduating from Northeastern University he taught biology while working towards his Masters in Special Education. Bill's desire to improve the quality of lives around him led him to Loyola University School of Dentistry, where he graduated with honors.

Post graduate education included a hospital internship working with plastic and oral surgeons. His focus was restoring form and function to physically and mentally challenged patients. Bill was honored to become a clinical professor of Endodontics at Loyola, contributing and co-authoring articles during his 17 years of teaching.

Dr. DeWitt is currently active senior staff at two dynamic West Suburban hospitals. These affiliations afford immediate access to both medicine and dentistry and the emerging science of oral and systemic health correlations.

Bill is well known for his personal energy along with his rapid, precisioned expertise. His proactive approach to every patient has earned recognition in several published "Best Dentists" lists.

Dr. DeWitt credits his patients with inspiring him towards more expansive solutions. His philosophy simply put, is this: "Excellence and artistry in dentistry is achieved by utilizing state of the art science and well practiced skill. But sometimes, the fulfillment of a patient's dream is the result of a patient's focused vision and the ingenuity it inspires."

R. Lee DeWitt (R.N., Office Administrator)

Lee was persuaded to leave intensive and specialty care nursing at Loyola University Hospital to join the dental health care team at DeWitt Dentistry, and has never looked back. Being used to acute care crises, Lee was not certain her background in nursing and pharmacy would be as valued in dentistry. However, along with an administrative and insurance oriented background, the emerging science of the oral/systemic health connection put her exactly in the right place at the right time.

"It is tremendously exciting to be an integral part of a preventive team. Dentistry is connecting the dots between excellent oral care and the prevention and control of serious conditions such as heart health, diabetes, and possibly, premature births."

Because Dr. DeWitt is on staff at two wonderful hospitals, Lee acts as medical/dental liaison as well as in office treatment coordinator for medically involved patients.

"DeWitt Dentistry is setting the standard for total patient well being and I'm extremely proud of being part of that dynamic well care approach."

Debbie (Assistant Office Administrator & Financial Coordinator)

Debbie has worked at DeWitt Dentistry for the past 8 years. She lives in Elmhurst and attended Elmhurst College where she lived in the residence halls and worked as a resident adviser. She graduated with a B.S. in Business Management and is currently working on completing an A.S. degree in Dental Hygiene.

Debbie likes working in the dental field because she enjoys helping others and working with people on an individual basis. She feels very strongly about educating patients on the relationship between dental health and overall systemic health because "a lot of people do not realize how important your oral health is to your overall well-being." The new research on this topic has been the motivating factor that has prompted her education in dental hygiene. Debbie is always ready and willing to answer any questions that a patient may have regarding insurance or finances.

When Debbie is not at work she enjoys playing her cello, cooking, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.

Laura (Registered Dental Hygienist)

After college Laura moved to the Chicago land area and has been practicing hygiene for over 14 years. Laura has been a member of the DeWitt Dentistry team for the past twelve years.

The thing Laura likes most about her job is educating patients so they can make informed decisions about their dental health and allowing them to see the reasons why a specific treatment may or may not be required. She feels that being well educated and making informed choices can better a patients' overall health. Laura is quick to make patients feel at ease while building confidence, trust and friendships at the same time.

Outside of her job Laura enjoys bike riding, playing with her two Chihuahua's, going to the movies, reading, and going out for sushi.

Coral (Registered Dental Hygienist)

Coral attended Southern Illinois University where she graduated with a degree in dental hygiene. Coral has been practicing hygiene for over 40 years and has been working with Dr. DeWitt for over 25 years.

After high school Deanna attended the College of Dupage to further her education. Deanna has been in the dental field for several years, having over 9 years of experience as a dental assistant.
