Meet Dr. Mark Cabana. Dr. Cabana has a special place in his heart for children in the Downers Grove area where he is a Pediatric Specialist at Grove Dental Associates.  He relates well with his young patients because like them, Dr. Cabana grew up in this area as well. He enjoys being able to give back to his community by providing gentle, compassionate, comprehensive care for kids in the area.

A genuine passion to care for children runs deep in his family with both his father and brother being local pediatricians.  In addition, Dr. Cabana is a father to two small children which enlightens his role more than all of his formal education!  Dr. Cabana understands that going to the dentist might be scary for some young patients, and he makes it his professional goal to make the children comfortable and at ease – even having fun – during their dental visits.

We invite you to get to know Dr. Cabana and our entire team of Pediatric Specialists!  Click on a name below to learn more.

“It warms my heart to see a child go from being afraid of the dentist to actually looking forward to their next visit. That’s what keeps me practicing.”– Dr. Mark Cabana

We sat down with Dr. Norma Ericson to learn more about her decision to become a dentist, her passion for dentistry, and her interests outside of the office.

How did you decide that you wanted to become a dentist?
Dr. Ericson:  After working as a dental assistant while studying abroad in England, I realized that my true passion lied not just in fixing teeth, but putting lasting smiles on my patients’ faces. It was then that I decided to pursue a career in dentistry. After completing dental school, I came to Grove Dental and have been here ever since.  

In what ways are you committed to continuing education?
Dr. Ericson: I received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry. Since then I’ve continually exceeded the yearly-required amount of continuing education in order to stay abreast of the latest dental techniques and technologies.  The quality of dentistry I provide stems from my disciplined and committed approach toward education and learning. But all the schooling in the world can’t teach the personal attention I provide to each of my patients. It’s this balance of education and personalized care that keeps patients coming back year after year.

How would you describe your approach to caring for your patients’ dental health?
Dr. Ericson: During my time at Grove, I’ve learned that the key to effective dentistry is a partnership between the patient, my staff and me. Our entire staff is involved in caring for our patients and providing them with information regarding the patient’s dental care. Then, the patient makes the best choice. This involvement in decision-making helps ensure patients have all the information needed for optimal dental health.

Outside of dentistry, what are some of your favorite pastimes?
Dr. Ericson:  Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and my dog. I also love the outdoors, spending time running, biking, hiking, or swimming when I find the time. More recently I took a painting class to try something new!
