About This Provider
Dr. Linda Ricks, DDS, MS is the founder of Endodontic Specialists of Naperville and a specialist in diagnosing and treating diseases of the dental pulp and surrounding root structures. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Doctor of Dental Surgery from Howard University, then spent five years practicing general dentistry before committing to advanced specialty training. At the University of Iowa, she completed a Fellowship in Oral Maxillofacial Radiology and Pathology and earned a Master of Science in Endodontics, a combination that gives her diagnostic and imaging skills most endodontists do not carry. In practice, Dr. Ricks explains every step of treatment before she begins, uses FDA-approved laser technology for deeper canal disinfection, and personally follows up with patients after complex procedures. She treats adults and children, accepts difficult cases that other offices refer out, and consistently helps anxious patients complete treatment they had postponed for years. Endodontic Specialists of Naperville serves patients throughout Naperville and the western Chicago suburbs.
