Dr. Buen earned her DMD, doctor of dental medicine degree, from the SIU school of dental medicine in 1996, where she was the class recipient of the Public Service in Dentistry Award. She chose the dental profession in order to combine her lifelong dream of following in her father’s footsteps providing healthcare for the public,  along with her artistic passion for creating and enhancing her patient’s smiles. She believes by restoring a person’s smile you are able to change that person’s life by giving them back confidence and and ultimately personal happiness. Although dentistry is traditionally a field that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity, Dr Buen feels that she is actually an important gatekeeper to her patients’ overall health as studies now link oral health to one’s overall systemic health. Heart disease, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, premature childbirth, and Sleep Apnea in particular have a correlation to oral conditions such as periodontal disease and bruxism. Her practice regularly screens for high blood pressure, oral cancer, and sleep apnea. Of the many health benefits visiting your dentist can provide you, she is most proud her ability to restore her patients’ self esteem and improved mental wellbeing by restoring those individuals’ smiles and ability to function, in a caring, healing, facial and nurturing environment. When you visit her practice you feel like you are coming home.

Dr. Buen is currently a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry , the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Chicago lmDental Society, the Illinois State  Dental Society, and the International Dental Implant Association.
