About This Provider
Dr. Keith Sommers is an endodontist with 26 years of clinical experience, practicing at Cameo Dental Specialists across five Chicagoland locations including River Forest, Berwyn, La Grange, Chicago's West Loop, and Elmhurst. He completed his specialty training at the University of Illinois endodontic residency program in 1998 and joined Cameo that same year. During dental school, Dr. Sommers received a National Institutes of Health Award for dental research work, reflecting the evidence-based foundation he brings to every case. Chicago magazine named him a Top Dentist in 2017. His stated motivation is direct: he finds his greatest satisfaction in relieving someone's discomfort. To that end, Dr. Sommers uses the GentleWave system, an acoustic fluid dynamics technology that cleans root canal systems more completely than conventional instruments alone. He is a member of the American Association of Endodontists, the American Dental Association, the Illinois State Dental Society, and the Chicago Dental Society, and he donates services through the Infant Welfare Clinic and the Dental Lifeline Network.
