Human Resources Business Partner

Dentologie isn’t your parent’s dentist office. We know our patients are busy, and scheduling a dental appointment is low on their priority list. Our founders (three life-long friends and dentists!) wanted to make the process as easy as calling a car or sending a text. We’ve created an app that allows you to easily schedule an appointment in our amazing offices that are located just down the street from where you live.

Our combination of industry changing technology and personable/affordable care makes us truly unique, and we’re growing quickly. Located throughout Chicago, we have opened nine dental office locations with plans to double in size over the next two years. To support our incredible growth, our team has grown to over 190 employees.
