HM-Distinctive-Dental-Dr.-Ausrine-Schneider

For more than two decades, Distinctive Dental by Dr. Aušrinė Schneider has provided care that is as personal as it is advanced. Our philosophy is simple: dentistry should never be one-size-fits-all, because your mouth is not separate from the rest of your body. Dr. Schneider blends clinical excellence in conventional dentistry with functional and holistic approaches to oral health, creating treatment plans that consider the whole person—teeth, gums, wellness, lifestyle, sleep, nutrition, and long-term goals.

At Distinctive Dental, precision technology meets a boutique, compassionate experience. We are a mercury-free, fluoride-optional practice that uses biocompatible materials, ceramic and titanium implants, and minimally invasive regenerative techniques. Every choice we make is rooted in one principle: working with the body—not against it—to support healing, function, and natural beauty.

Dr. Schneider was born and raised in Lithuania, where she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1990 and Orthodontics Certification in 1992 from Kaunas Medical Academy. Driven by a passion to expand her knowledge, she pursued a second DDS at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2000, and later completed an implant fellowship at New York University in 2010. She opened her Willowbrook practice in 2001 and has been serving patients ever since.

A member of the American Dental Association, Chicago Dental Society, Academy of General Dentistry, Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and International Congress on Oral Implantology, Dr. Schneider has also served as president of the Chicago Component of the Academy of General Dentistry. Her dedication and leadership reflect her deep commitment to advancing the field.

With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Schneider has built a reputation for her skill in cosmetic and surgical dentistry, as well as her thoughtful, personalized approach. She believes dentistry is not only about creating healthy, beautiful smiles but also about forming lasting relationships with patients.

Outside the office, Dr. Schneider is a devoted mother of two daughters who enjoys traveling, sailing, exercising, cooking, and time with loved ones. Her family were long time members of St. Isaac Jogues Parish as her children attended SIJ school. Her passion for life and dentistry is evident in everything she does, and her patients appreciate both her expertise and her kind, caring nature.
