We’re With You

“As a child, I really loved visiting my dentist. I formed great memories there that inspired me to create a one-of-a-kind dental experience for children. And as a mom, I understand how important it is to find a pediatric dentist that feels fun, safe, and knowledgeable. That’s what I want to be for all my patients and their families.”

Shaping Smiles for Life

We believe the best thing we can do for your child’s oral health is to give them a dental experience that makes them excited about caring for their smile, keeps them looking forward to every visit, and builds a solid foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.





From preventive care and education to emergency treatment and growth monitoring, every service we provide is designed to support your child’s smile at every stage of development.

Emergency Care

Emergency Care

Kids are always on the move, and bumps, falls, and dental surprises can happen when you least expect them. If something doesn’t seem right, give us a call. We’ll help you understand what’s going on and guide you toward the best next step.

Teeth Cleanings

Teeth Cleanings & Healthy Smile Habits

A healthy smile starts with great habits and regular care. At each visit, we gently clean your child’s teeth, monitor their oral health, and share age-appropriate tips that help build confidence and routines to keep their smile shining between appointments.

Orthodontic Screening

Orthodontic Screening

Growing smiles are always changing. Through early orthodontic screenings, we can monitor your child’s development and identify potential bite or alignment concerns early, helping set the stage for a healthy, confident smile as they grow.

Expect Something Different

Chicago’s little stars are heading to the top of the dental charts! Here, kids love the musicality of our practice, and parents find a neighborhood dentist to partner with them. Welcome to Songbird — you’re in the right place.

Parent stories
"We’re so happy we found Songbird!"

What impressed me most was how Dr. Erin and her team interacted with my son. He can definitely have some stranger danger, but he warmed up to everyone almost immediately. When he started to cry during the visit, Dr. Erin adjusted to what he needed instead of pushing through and made sure he was comfortable before continuing his cleaning. It was so reassuring to watch.

Dr. Erin is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely cares about creating a positive experience for kids. By the end, my son was back to playing and brushing the dolls’ teeth—and he didn’t want to leave!

Wonderful team, beautiful office, convenient Bucktown location, and such a great first dental experience. We’re so happy we found Songbird!

“Incredibly helpful”

Dr. Erin has been great for my two boys. She has been awesome in helping our boys with their brushing routines and general dental needs. With young kids we unfortunately have had a few bonks resulting in loose front teeth and her guidance and reassurance with those emergencies has been incredibly helpful - when the general family dentist was a bit unsure, her pediatric input was needed and very helpful! We would recommend!

“100/100 best dental office!”

Best Dental Vist Ever! Percilla the front desk/assistant was so kind and helpful she treated my children with love and attention. Dr. Erin was so patient and explained the dental needs for both my children. My son said "100/100 best dental office!" My husband and son had a blast playing the arcade while my daughter was in the chair. This office was so clean and just amazing! Definitely found a gem of a dental home for my children!
