Dr Ben Youel

Dr. Ben grew up in northern Illinois and graduated Summa Cum Laude from North Central College with a degree in Chemistry. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he was inducted into the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon honor society. He went on to complete both a hospital-based residency at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and a three-year orthodontic residency and Master’s in Oral Sciences at UIC, where he was elected class president.

Dr. Ben is Invisalign certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and experienced in complex and surgical orthodontics. He serves as Second Vice President of the American Dental Association and is actively involved in several professional dental organizations. Each month, he also volunteers at the Chicago Dental Society Foundation Clinic, providing free care to patients in need.

Outside the office, Dr. Ben enjoys spending time with his wife, Maggie, their dog and cats—and most of all, their beautiful baby girl. He’s also an avid marathon runner who loves celebrating each race with a big mug of Moose Tracks ice cream!
