About Us
The Choices in Dentistry Difference
What sets us apart?
Our philosophy and our people.
By taking the best of what biological and holistic dentistry have to offer and combining it with proven traditional treatments, we’ve become the only integrative dental office in the Chicago Loop.
We put you in the driver’s seat when it comes to making decisions for your health. We’re here to educate and answer your questions. We’ll offer our guidance but the rest is up to you. You determine the course of your treatment and decide what’s best for you.
Our approach is so simple, so effective, and so empowering, you’ll wonder why no other dentist does it.
The doctors
Dr. Patricia Gilleran
“When I woke up to how much traditional care was not prioritizing material safety, sustainable procedures, and holistic solutions, I knew I had to create an integrative practice. Not only do I create beautiful smiles, they’ll be in harmony with your entire body. ”
Away from the office: Making art, volunteering, parenting 4 teens and doing my best to find time for yoga!
Dr. Nellie Sutherland
“I look for the why in dentistry. Why are you here, what are your oral health goals, and how can we work together to achieve them?”
Away from the office: Playing tennis, reading, and quality time with her family and dog Roxie!
The team
Our dentists can’t do it alone! We rely on our awesome team who are dedicated to making Choices in Dentistry unlike any other dentist in Chicago. When you become a patient at our office, you’ll get to know…

The office
We’re located in the heart of Chicago’s Loop. Our building has entrances on both Washington and Wabash, half a block from State Street. The new Washington “L” stop literally drops you at the Wabash entrance. We’re open Monday through Friday, including mornings and evenings so you can fit an appointment into your busy schedule.
Ask for a quick tour and we’ll show you all the eco-friendly and sustainable features we’ve made part of our practice.
The fun stuff
We go above and beyond to help everyone feel welcome. You can wear headphones with soothing music during your appointment or indulge in a paraffin hand wax treatment. Plus, our patients enjoy little gifts like handmade soaps and flowers!
Insurance, financing, and payment options
You are our priority, not your insurance
At Choices in Dentistry, we don’t let insurance companies set our standards of care. We are not contracted to any insurance provider, but we will gladly process all claims with your insurance company!
You have options!
Don’t have dental insurance? Don’t love your dental insurance? You have a CHOICE!
We want to make your experience better so you can worry less about paying for your treatment. You’ll be able to focus on making the right CHOICE for your health.
