Making a difference in people’s lives
Dr. Steve Moon
From a young age, Dr. Moon knew he wanted to help improve people’s health, and he found in dentistry the perfect way to do it. As he puts it, “It is very rare for any field to have an impact on a person’s health and appearance at the same time. As a dentist, I feel honored and humbled to be in such a unique position.”
Aware of the difficult experiences many people have had at the dentist, Dr. Moon’s biggest motivation is to change that by providing efficient, honest, and hassle-free care. He considers himself a detail-oriented dentist who pays just as much attention to how his patients feel as he does to their teeth, shaping his approach around their comfort every step of the way.
Dental Philosophy
Dr. Moon believes dental treatment is a partnership between the dentist and the patient. That’s why he makes sure each patient is as involved and empowered as possible, giving them complete, straightforward information at every stage of their care.
He knows this takes time, so he’s happy to talk with his patients longer than an average doctor might. At the same time, he keeps visits simple and streamlined, respecting that your day doesn’t revolve around the dental chair.
Education & training
Before founding Dental Minds, Dr. Moon honed his skills across a wide range of dentistry — completing countless Invisalign cases at one Chicago practice and treating root canals, extractions, and traditional braces at another, always with a focus on clear patient communication.

Outside the office
Dr. Moon is known for being friendly and straightforward. He’s an active person who would always rather be moving than sitting still — he loves playing soccer, training Muay Thai, and weightlifting. When he’s not working, you’ll often find him discovering new restaurants and cafes around the city or spending time with family and friends. He also has a real appreciation for a good coffee shop and dreams of owning one someday.

- Fat Rice
- Mi Tocaya Antojería
- Longman & Eagle

Advice from Dr. Moon
“A cavity is a battle of acids. Keep your mouth at a neutral or basic pH, and you’ll have healthier teeth.”
