About Dr. Lederman
Dedicated to the whole child — not just their teeth.
Dr. Andrea R. Lederman founded her practice with a single conviction: children respond best to care that respects their dignity. Every treatment plan is built around the individual child — their temperament, their pace, their comfort.
Located in the Old Orchard Center on Old Orchard Road, our office serves families across Skokie and the greater North Shore community. We welcome children of all ages, including those with special healthcare needs.
Regular dental visits beginning in early childhood establish habits that last a lifetime. We make those first visits gentle, educational, and — yes — even enjoyable.

Our Services
Comprehensive care for every stage
From first tooth to final teenage checkup, we provide the full range of pediatric dental services in a setting designed for children's comfort.
Routine Exams & Cleanings
Regular checkups catch problems early and keep teeth healthy. We make each visit a positive experience that builds lifelong oral care habits.
Preventive Care
Fluoride treatments and dental sealants are powerful tools for cavity prevention. We tailor preventive strategies to each child's specific risk profile.
Restorative Dentistry
When cavities do occur, we use gentle, tooth-preserving techniques. Fillings and restorations are performed with care and attention to your child's comfort.
Orthodontic Evaluations
Early assessment of bite and alignment helps us identify issues before they worsen. We guide families through orthodontic options when the time is right.
Emergency Care
Dental injuries happen. We prioritize urgent cases and work quickly to relieve pain and restore smiles — because every moment matters.
Special Needs Dentistry
We welcome children of all abilities. Our patient approach adapts to each child's unique needs, ensuring everyone receives the care they deserve.
Our Philosophy
The first dental visit sets the tone for a lifetime.
We believe that a child's dental experience should be defined by trust, not fear. That means taking the time to explain each step, letting children explore the equipment at their own pace, and never rushing a nervous patient.
Parents are welcome to stay throughout every appointment. We partner with families to create consistent, positive associations with dental care — because the best outcomes happen when parents and dentist are on the same team.
