About This Provider

Dr. Mark L. Banakis is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who co-founded Schaumburg Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery through the merger of Schaumburg Oral Surgery and Chicago Surgical Specialists. His education spans a DDS from Loyola University Chicago School of Dentistry, medical school training at the University of Illinois, a hospital internship at Evanston Hospital, and a surgical residency at the University of Chicago, placing him inside one of the country's most demanding academic medical training environments. That dual path through both dental school and medical training gives Dr. Banakis a clinical foundation that goes well beyond what a standard dental degree requires. He now practices alongside three fellow surgeons, and the team collectively brings more than 100 years of surgical experience. The merger expanded the range of procedures available to patients in the northwest Chicago suburbs to include the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery along with comprehensive plastic surgical options. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete at least four additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after dental school, and Dr. Banakis's residency at the University of Chicago reflects that commitment to rigorous preparation.
