About This Provider
Dr. Ronald Metelka earned both a DDS and a Master of Science degree in orthodontics, completing the advanced graduate training that separates a board-qualified specialist from a general dentist who offers orthodontic services as an add-on. He practices at North Shore Center Of Dental Health in Morton Grove, Illinois, bringing specialist-level orthodontic care to families across the North Shore area. Dr. Metelka is a recognized provider in the Smiles Change Lives (SCL) network, a national nonprofit that connects orthodontists with children from low-income households who could not otherwise access treatment. Participation in SCL is voluntary and reflects a practitioner who treats a properly aligned smile as a health equity issue rather than a luxury. North Shore Center Of Dental Health holds a 4.9-star rating across 237 Google reviews, with patients regularly noting compassionate care, clear communication, and a team that makes the dental experience comfortable. Dr. Metelka's combination of graduate-level credentials, community commitment, and a high-trust practice environment makes him a strong choice for patients and families seeking orthodontic care on the North Shore.
