About The Center for Dental Healing
The Center for Dental Healing is a dental practice on Ravine Way in Glenview, 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.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
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. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

I have had my dental care at this office for several years and the personal touch offered by every staff member from making an appointment to doctors care is outstanding. Everyone adds their personal touch and genuinely cares about your care. Definitely worthy of 5 stars!
I've been coming here for years. Always a great experience and very reasonable. Worth the drive for me.
Our entire family has been going to Dr. Ganzman for years, and we truly couldn’t ask for a better dentist. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the kindest, friendliest staff who always make you feel welcome. Dr. Ganzman is everything you want in a dentist, honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. She always takes the time to explain everything and never recommends anything that isn’t necessary, which gives us complete confidence in her care. Our kids actually look forward to their appointments! The hygienists are wonderful (we’ve seen several over the years, and every one has been fantastic), and they always leave excited about their sparkly clean teeth. The funny videos during their appointments are an added bonus that make the whole experience fun and stress-free!! If you’re looking for a dental office that treats you like family and provides exceptional care for both adults and kids, I can’t recommend Dr. Ganzman and her team enough!
I've been seeing Dr. Aver for years. Happy patient!
I just left my appointment and felt compelled to leave a review because I had such a positive experience. I feel incredibly lucky that I was paired with Aga as my hygienist. She was thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain not only what she was seeing, but also why it mattered and what I could do at home to improve my oral health. I left feeling informed and empowered rather than rushed through an appointment. It's rare to find someone who is both highly skilled and such a great educator. Dr. Ganzman was wonderful as well. She was professional, caring, and took a comprehensive approach to my dental health. I really appreciate the focus on overall wellness and holistic care rather than just treating symptoms. I also want to recognize the receptionist, whose name I unfortunately didn't catch (my apologies!). She spent a significant amount of time with me, answered my questions, and made me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. Her patience and kindness did not go unnoticed. Another thing that stood out to me was the pricing. The costs didn't seem any higher than many traditional dental offices, despite the added focus on holistic health, which I personally feel is a superior approach. Overall, the entire team was friendly, professional, thorough, and genuinely cared about their patients. I highly recommend this office and am grateful to have found them.
I had my first visit to Center for Dental Healing and was very impressed with the experience. The entire team was welcoming, professional, and thorough. Katie, my hygienist, was fantastic. She was diligent, detail-oriented, and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. Dr. Irina Ganzman took the time to explain my findings and treatment recommendations clearly, answering my questions and helping me understand the "why" behind the plan. What stood out most was their whole-body approach to dental care. They look beyond just teeth and gums and recognize the connection between oral health and overall wellness. I left feeling informed, empowered, and confident about the next steps for my dental health. If you're looking for a practice that combines thorough care with a more holistic perspective, I highly recommend Center for Dental Healing.
I’ve been coming to this dental office for about 4 years now, and I can honestly say it took me a long time to find a place where I truly felt comfortable. From day one, the entire team has been welcoming, kind, and professional, which makes such a difference when it comes to dental visits. A special shoutout to my hygienist, Agha—she is absolutely amazing. She’s gentle, thorough, and always makes me feel at ease. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and takes pride in her work. The whole staff here is awesome, and I’ve always had a great experience every time I visit. I’m moving out of state, and this is one of the places I’ll truly miss. I’ll definitely try to come back for my cleanings whenever I can. Highly recommend!
World class service! I can honestly say that I’ve had never EVER had my teeth cleaned the way my teeth were cleaned by my new hygienist at this practice. I’m a new patient and made the switch from my old doctor of 35yrs. Feels like night and day. The services are extremely detailed, perhaps because I never experienced this kind of service. Not to mention, I’m actually saving 50% off from what I was paying before. So happy my wife found this dental practice. Happy new patient here. 😊
I can't express how grateful I am to have found Dr. Irina. Watching her work with such patience on my 7-year-old daughter, explaining everything she did, was heartwarming. As a mother, I can say that seeing someone act with such compassion and without rushing was wonderful. I had been told by other dentist that my daughter needed pulpotomies, crowns, and sedation, but I wanted to get a second opinion from a holistic doctor who cares about her patients as the real people we are, each with a unique story. And after searching and searching, I found her and waited for months because they are so busy but it was worth it, I drove 1.5 hours to see her , and I can say this will be my commute to see our dentist now on !!! My daughter had some fillings done and Zero pain , or sedation needed. Dr Irina , thank you so much.
