Our Story

At Avila Dental, our story is rooted in care, resilience, and a genuine passion for helping people feel confident in their smiles. Dr. Gelsy Calvo has always believed dentistry should feel personal, not transactional. Known for her warm and friendly approach, she takes the time to truly listen to her patients, understand their concerns, and create a comfortable experience where people feel heard, respected, and supported. Her goal has never been just to treat teeth, but to build lasting relationships and help patients feel at ease every step of the way.

Dr. Calvo’s journey to becoming a trusted dentist serving the Chicago community reflects both dedication and perseverance. After earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Cienfuegos in Cuba, she moved to the United States with her family to continue pursuing her passion. She went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree with high honors from the University of Puerto Rico School of Dental Medicine. Committed to providing the highest level of care, she continues to stay current with modern advancements in dentistry through ongoing education, allowing her to offer a full range of services including preventive care, routine cleanings, cosmetic dentistry, restorative treatments, and more advanced procedures tailored to each patient’s needs.

Today, Avila Dental is built on the belief that great dentistry starts with trust. Every patient is treated with the same compassion and honesty as family. Whether a patient is coming in for a routine exam, teeth whitening, fillings, crowns, or more comprehensive dental work, the focus is always on long-term oral health, comfort, and confidence. Treatment plans are personalized, recommendations are transparent, and every step is taken to ensure patients feel informed and in control of their care.

Outside of the office, Dr. Calvo enjoys spending time with her fiancé, who is also a dentist, and their two dogs, Oliva and Zeus. She loves traveling, trying new restaurants, and spending time outdoors—bringing that same balance and positivity into the experience she creates for her patients every day.

FAQ

How often should I visit Avila Dental for a checkup and cleaning?
We recommend visiting Avila Dental every six months for a routine dental exam and professional cleaning. Regular visits help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues while keeping your smile healthy and bright.
What teeth whitening options do you offer?
We offer both in-office and at-home teeth whitening solutions. In-office whitening delivers fast, noticeable results in about 90 minutes, while take-home options like custom trays provide gradual whitening over several days to two weeks.
Are dental implants a good option for missing teeth?
Yes, dental implants are one of the best long-term solutions for missing teeth. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth and help preserve jawbone health. Implants can replace one tooth, several teeth, or even a full arch.
Does Avila Dental treat dental emergencies or extractions?
Yes, we provide tooth extractions when necessary, including for severe decay, infection, or impacted wisdom teeth. We prioritize patient comfort and offer sedation options when appropriate to ensure a smooth experience.
What happens during a dental exam and cleaning?
During your visit, our team performs a full oral health evaluation, checks for cavities or gum disease, and may take X-rays if needed. A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup, followed by polishing and fluoride treatment.
Do you offer cosmetic dentistry services?
Yes, we provide a variety of cosmetic treatments including teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and more. Our goal is to enhance the appearance of your smile while maintaining strong, healthy teeth.
How do I schedule an appointment at Avila Dental?
Scheduling is easy—simply call our Chicago office and speak with our friendly team. We’re happy to answer questions, discuss treatment options, and help you book your next visit at a convenient time.
