What are patients saying about Drs. Beam and Battistoni?

Drs. Beam and Battistoni love getting reviews from our wonderful patients. And lately, our office, serving La Grange, Oak Park and surrounding communities, has been getting some pretty great patient testimonials!

Talking straight with Drs. Battistoni + Beam

People wonder why Drs. Battistoni and Beam work tirelessly to give our patients straight teeth. And here's our answer:

Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime.

Straight teeth are also less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque—the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay. And, they are easier to keep clean! Drs. Battistoni and Beam, as well as our dedicated staff, understand your desire to seek the best possible orthodontic care for you or your child. We pride ourselves on our honesty and patient respect, and assure you the best orthodontic treatment available.

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, give us a call to set up a consultation. Drs. Battistoni and Beam can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.
