About This Provider
Dr. Vince A. Penesis is an endodontist with more than 20 years of specialized clinical experience, practicing at Oakbrook Endodontic Associates / Illinois Endodontics in Plainfield and Oak Brook, Illinois. He graduated magna cum laude from Loyola University of Chicago in 1995 and finished first in his class at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry in 2002, earning the W. Howard Kubacki Award for superior clinical excellence, the American Association of Endodontists Achievement Award, and the Luz Bondoc Award for the highest board exam scores. He completed a post-doctoral residency in endodontics at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2004. Dr. Penesis uses three-dimensional imaging and dental operating microscopy for both surgical and non-surgical endodontic care, tools that reveal calcified canals, missed roots, and fractures that standard X-rays cannot detect. Patients consistently report that he walks them through each step of treatment, manages discomfort effectively, and puts even apprehensive patients at ease. His active memberships in the American Association of Endodontists and the Edgar D. Coolidge Endodontic Study Club reflect a sustained commitment to advancing clinical precision throughout his career.
