About This Provider
Dr. James Fondriest, DDS, FACD, FICD, is the founder of Lake Forest Dental Arts and one of the premier cosmetic and prosthodontic authorities in the Midwest. Dentists from across the country, including many who lead their own practices, seek him out as a patient, a testament to the clinical depth and trust he has earned among peers. Dr. Fondriest trains dentists nationally on the art of cosmetic dentistry and prosthodontics, and he publishes regularly in leading dental journals, extending his influence well beyond the chair. His guiding philosophy bridges professional rigor and artistic purpose: he holds that responsibility compels doing things well, and that love compels doing them beautifully. Patients at Lake Forest Dental Arts receive restorations built around his concept of Believably Natural Dentistry, work calibrated so precisely that others do not perceive it as artificial. Dr. Fondriest focuses on patients with complex dental histories and higher aesthetic expectations, including those who need expert correction of prior dental work that fell short.
