About

Ruchi Nagpal, DDS might possibly love teeth more than life itself! She is passionate about providing quality care while making the experience a pleasant one. There is nothing more satisfying than making a patient feel good about their smile. Dr. Nagpal is very excited to bring her enthusiasm and skill to the Bucktown neighborhood, the best neighborhood in Chicago as far as she is concerned. In fact, she loves it so much, she lives just down the street from the office where she shares her home with her husband and son. Dr. Nagpal grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and completed her bachelor’s degree at the University of Pittsburgh. She returned to Ohio to pursue her dental degree at The Ohio State University and went on to complete two years of residency at New York Presbyterian Weill-Cornell and then New York Hospital Queens. She moved to Chicago in 2010 because she couldn’t resist the charm of the Midwest and she wanted to be closer to her adorable nieces and nephews. In her free time, she loves to spend time with her family, watch her Ohio sports teams (win or lose… Oh Browns ☹) , and try new restaurants in the city.

    The staff was very attentive and pleasant. Dr. Nagpal did my cleaning and fillings without it feeling rushed at all, which was nice. The dental assistant, Carmen, was also great and both of them answered my questions and made my experience comfortable and at ease.

    Dr. Nagpal was definitely one of the best dentists I’ve ever been to. She tells it like it is, and really wants to help you improve your dental health. Her office is also pretty high tech so the xrays, cavity fillings, etc. were painless. It’s taken me a couple tries in the city to find a dentist I want to keep going to, and she’s definitely that!

    I've never had a cooler dentist! Netflix while I get my teeth cleaned? Heck yeah! She's super sweet and was always making sure I was comfortable. Very personable and willing to help outside of the office. Her staff is awesome as well! I also felt great about the fact that most of the staff was women.

    Dr. Nagpal was super professional and kind. I haven’t been to the dentist in 20 years and they made me feel good about making the choice to come in. She even extracted a wisdom tooth that has been bugging me for months all with in an hour. Very glad to have found this dentist.

    The staff are super friendly, approachable and answer your questions. I have avoided going to a dentist for over 10 years due to bad experiences and anxiety, but I would have no trouble setting an appointment to go back here.

    Great service and communication. The dentist did the cleaning herself and was very thorough. She also walked thru a dental plan for the future for potential cavities or fillings that need to be replaced. She was not pushy at all.
