Dr. Raymond E. La Vigne, DDS

What does Palatine Choice Dental Center mean? We can provide routine care, make it as convenient and affordable as possible. That is what we refer to as Sensible Care. For those with demanding cosmetic desires or very complex and serious dental conditions we customize, focus, make use of great dental labs and materials after much planning and presentation is done. That is what we call :Sensational Treatment"

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

I have experience not only with a broad range of dental procedures but also regarding patients age, culture, dental health condition and desires

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

We offer a wide range from preventive, conservative and routine through major and surgical dental care. A few things that we emphasize are first of all to preserve and maintain good dental health through early and preventive care, recognizing the need for sleep appliances to protect against clenching and moderate sleep apnea where CPAP is not mandatory. Next we are able to treat serious tooth and gum problems since we perform root canal treatment, major composite or porcelain restorations, treatment of gum disease by deep cleaning and in some cases surgical treatment. Third, when teeth are hopeless we offer various replacements with implants, bridges or removable appliances. We provide temporaries in major cases that may be similar to permanent appliances.

What are you proud of in your practice?

One of the main things that sets us apart and we are proud of is our knowledge and willingness to blend new technology with proven skills

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

While I enjoy telling patients " good job, no problems" I get the maximum enjoyment when a very complex case on a patient with challenging conditions has been completed and now they are returning for routine care only
