About This Provider
Dr. Anthony LaVacca, DMD, FACP, FICOI, is a board-certified prosthodontist and the founder of Naperville Dental Specialists, a multi-specialty practice in downtown Naperville, Illinois. He holds two of dentistry's highest specialty credentials: Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists and Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Beyond his own practice, Dr. LaVacca founded the Naperville Impact Study Club, a peer education initiative that advances implant dentistry standards across the region, reflecting a commitment to raising clinical quality in the field. He leads a seven-dentist team that includes board-certified specialists in endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, and anesthesiology, making full-spectrum coordinated care available under one roof. Patients in his reviews consistently describe exceptional clinical skill in implants and prosthodontics, a conservative approach that preserves natural teeth whenever clinically sound, and a professional manner that puts even anxious patients at ease. For those facing missing teeth, implant failure, complex smile restoration, or medically involved cases such as cleft palate or eating disorder-related damage, Dr. LaVacca offers the specialized expertise that general dentistry cannot match.
