Walk into Esplanade Dental Care, and you’ll notice something patients often mention before the dentistry itself: familiar faces.

For many patients, those relationships have been built over years. As a family-owned practice, Esplanade has created an environment where patients know they’ll be greeted by the same trusted team members, receive personalized attention, and have time to ask questions rather than feeling rushed through an appointment.

That philosophy has been at the heart of the practice since the beginning. Dr. Sherif Albert works alongside his sister, Dr. Christine Snow, and Dr. Amy Feller, bringing nearly a century of combined experience in general, cosmetic and pediatric dentistry. Together, they have built a patient-centered practice focused on compassionate care, respect and staying at the forefront of modern dentistry.

While relationships remain the foundation, the practice has continued to evolve. Esplanade Dental Care has invested heavily in digital technology that improves accuracy, efficiency and patient comfort while expanding the services available under one roof. The goal is simple: combine the latest advancements in dentistry with a warm, welcoming experience where patients feel confident they’re receiving exceptional care.

Looking ahead, Dr. Albert is especially excited about the role artificial intelligence is beginning to play in dentistry. AI is helping dentists identify problems earlier, improve diagnostic accuracy and better educate patients by making treatment recommendations easier to understand. Combined with advances in digital scanning, imaging and restorative materials, today’s technology allows for more precise, efficient and comfortable treatment than ever before.

“Dentistry continues to evolve, and it’s exciting to be able to bring those advancements to our patients while continuing to provide the kind of care they’ve come to expect,” Dr. Albert says.

Kristina and Matthew Bailey began reading books to their son, Owen when he was six months old— they haven’t stopped.
Owen turned 4 in June and recently received an award from the Clarendon Hills Public Library for having had 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten.

The library’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge is one of a few reading challenge programs offered in Clarendon Hills, where the Bailey family has lived for the past 2 1/2 years.
Kristin Bailey said she saw an ad about the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge and decided it was a good fit for Owen.

“He’s always been really into books,” Bailey said. “He had a natural interest in books at nine months old. That’s when COVID started, and he didn’t get out much, so reading books to him worked out very well. He’s a naturally curious kid, and imagination-building is important. The reading allows him to learn and explore new things, and he really wants to learn to read now.”

Krista Devlin, the Clarendon Hills library’s youth services librarian, said there’s a specific reason The Friends of the Library-sponsored 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge was started in 2022.

“Reading aloud to a child is one of the best ways to help develop important early literacy skills, which will prepare them for kindergarten,” Devlin said. “It is also a great way to bond with your child and to encourage a love of reading.”

Devlin said Owen was the second child to reach the challenge of having 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten. He was awarded a certificate, a crown, and his picture was taken to recognize his accomplishment.

Bailey, who said she is “a big reader,” said her family usually goes to the library once a week. Reading three books each night to Owen, along with a book before nap time, is the household normal.

“Consistency in our routine has been good and is important,” she said, adding that Owen’s two sisters, ages 2 1/2 and 1
