About Chicago Dental 312
Chicago Dental 312 is a dental practice on East Washington Street in the Chicago Loop area of Chicago, Illinois. Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

I am so glad I switched to Chicago Dental 312! I am getting excellent dental care from a team that truly appreciates me. Personable! Professional! Dependable! Even when I had a dental emergency they got me in right away and fixed me up. I tell you, I wouldn't think of going anywhere else.
Most reliable, honest dentist! I trust Dr Van Fossen and have recommended her to many people. She has guided me through regular cleanings and eventually Invisalign, she provides great direction, no pressure and a fun demeanor. Highly recommend!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Van Fossen for years - and even though I don’t work downtown anymore I still go back to see her. She has a great team and I trust she always makes the best recommendations for me - even when thankfully it’s often a straightforward visit.
Chicago Dental is excellent; I highly recommend these dentists and hygienists. I travel from a far southern suburban town to come to the office in downtown Chicago, and I will continue to do so due to the quality of work and service. Keep up the great work. I written this post previously; however, I want to add to it. Not only are these comments still holding true; but these are great doctors and hygienist. When you call them, (no matter when), they respond immediately. In addition, their knowledge and work is exceptional. Team, thanks for all you do. Sincerely
Van Fossen is the best!!!
I have been going to Dr. Momin at Chicago Dental 312 for years now and he is an excellent dentist. I always have great experience with him and the entire team. Dental work and even basic cleanings have always given me anxiety ever since my childhood. The team here has helped me get over that entirely. I highly recommend Dr. Momin and Chicago Dental 312. You will not regret coming here. Truly exception and best in class.
I’m so glad to have finally found a dentist I can trust!! I put off getting my cavities filled for over a year, but Dr Van Fossen eased my nerves and helped ensure that I did not feel a thing!! Couldn’t be more grateful (especially after having some really bad experiences in the past). Truly such a personalized, caring experience, which is so valued!!! Couldn’t recommend any more!!!
I admit that I was a person who dreaded going to the dentist. But that all changed once I began going to Dr. Momin and his extremely capable and caring staff at Chicago Dental. I now feel comforted by the care and thoroughness I receive whenever I visit Dr. Momin and team. They don’t miss one thing … and now I never miss an appointment. Something to smile about.
Dr. Amy Van Fossen is one of a kind. She is thoughtful, conscientious, a genuine problem solver, and looks for the best and most affordable options for her patients. Her office uses cutting edge technology and has an incredible staff. I can’t say enough about this once in a lifetime dentist.!
After my previous dental office closed down, I was so relieved to be referred to Chicago Dental 312. Dr. Momin and the entire team are incredibly welcoming, warm, and knowledgeable. Dr. Momin was friendly and confident about the work I needed done, explaining everything clearly and recommending great aftercare products. Going to the dentist is never exactly fun, but somehow I actually look forward to keeping up with my cleanings and follow-ups here. Highly recommend this office if you’re looking for trustworthy and compassionate dental care! The views aren’t bad either.
