How a love of art led her to dentistry

Dr. Erica Schroer

Dr. Erica Schroer, DMD, practices comprehensive general dentistry at Dental Minds in Logan Square. She grew up loving art and finding creative ways to bring ideas to life, and dentistry became a natural way to combine that creativity with science and helping people.

At the University of Missouri, she joined a mission trip where she helped provide dental education. It gave her a first look at how much dentistry can change a person’s life, and she was hooked.

Today, her favorite parts of the work are problem-solving and building relationships with patients.

Dental philosophy

She’ll tell you what she’s seeing, why she’s recommending a treatment, and what to expect along the way.

Maybe you’re relaxed in a dental chair, or maybe it’s been years since your last visit. Either way, her goal is a judgment-free visit where you can ask questions and make informed decisions about your oral health.

In-network with most major PPO dental plans.

A note from Dr. Schroer

“My approach to patient care is kind of like being a dental detective and a coach rolled into one. I love solving problems, but I also want my patients to feel empowered, not overwhelmed. I’m big on prevention and education, and I want people to leave with fewer questions and less anxiety than when they came in. I also believe the dentist’s chair doesn’t have to be scary, so if you hear some bad jokes or see me celebrating your flossing habits, just roll with it!”
