About In The Loop Dental

In The Loop Dental operates on North Wabash Avenue in the Chicago Loop area of Chicago, Illinois. Holistic, or biological, dentistry applies standard dental diagnosis and treatment within an approach that emphasises material choice and conservative treatment, considering oral health as connected to the body more broadly rather than treating the mouth in isolation.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

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.

What is holistic dentistry?
It is an approach that considers oral health in the context of overall health and tends to emphasise material choices and conservative treatment. The underlying clinical standards for diagnosing and treating dental disease remain the same.
How can I look after my teeth between appointments?
Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and cleaning between the teeth daily covers most of it. Limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount consumed.

I had a filling break off and needed it fixed asap. I was recommended by a friend and thank goodness I was cause they got me in that week, they were super sweet and warm, and it was a smooth appointment. I’ve had some pretty rough dentists in the past but they were gentle and helped me out. 10/10 recommend

Faith restored in the state of dentistry in this country. In a world of incessant, despicable, and corrupt offices with names like Miles of Smiles and Dentologie 🤮 that badger you in to spending thousands on Invisiline and invisible cavities to back billionaire Private Equity Rollups, Dr. B and In The Loop Dental are a comet of care that soars above the rest. Lesley was kind and gentle and genuinely listened to my concerns while providing a concise yet thorough cleaning. I recommend In The Loop to every person who is sick of getting screwed over by the revolving door of dentists in this city. 5 sparkly bright stars. See you in 6 months, happily.

I'm so glad I was recommended to In the Loop Dental by a friend. The staff are great, very professional. They do a good job with cleanings. I appreciate the approach to delaing with any dental issues is so considered. I never feel pushed into a more invasive or complex procedure that I feel uncomfortable with, as they will scaffold and try the simplest solution first, while still offering excellent care if further work is needed.

I've been to Dr. Baeverstad several times, and every single visit has been very pleasant. Everyone's so friendly, and they all do an awesome job! Not one complaint! Also, I had an emergency and got in the next day. I promise, they really do care about your oral health.

I’ve always been a little afraid of the dentist, everyone here was so thoughtful and considerate. They all checked in with me throughout the process and were very kind and accommodating. Would recommend this place to anyone, truly a great experience.

I have been going to In the Loop for nine years now! My experience from beginning to end at this office is excellent. They are kind, efficient, and patient-focused. I highly recommend to anyone, whether with insurance or without (they have a great membership option)!

I had such a wonderful experience at this dental office! I brought my daughter in for fillings, and I was honestly a little nervous about how she would feel… but the entire team exceeded my expectations. They were incredibly kind, patient, and gentle with her, taking the time to make sure she felt comfortable every step of the way. What meant the most to me was seeing her walk out not only calm, but genuinely happy and confident about coming back for future visits. That speaks volumes about the care and professionalism here. I’m so grateful we found this office and would highly recommend them to any parent looking for a positive dental experience for their child and their whole family!

The office staff were friendly and helpful. The hygienist was very kind and gentle. And Dr. Baeverstad was great. I came here for a second opinion from another pushy sales-ey dental office that seemed to want to upsell me on teeth whitening, a new night guard despite the one I already own, and a bunch of dental work after years of having no teeth issues. Dr. Baeverstad seemed conservative and no one felt like they were trying to upsell me.

Can’t say enough positive things about ITLD. Very thorough. Very gentle. She explained various treatment options and limitations of those treatments. She made sure I understood everything we discussed. Highly recommend her team as well, Grace was efficient and concerned that I be comfortable. A big plus in a busy clinic. Everyone was genuinely personable. A great dentist, especially for those with ‘dental anxiety’. So grateful I found her and her team.
