Dr. Peter Katris: General & Cosmetic Dentist
Making Patients Smile
“It is truly an honor and a privilege to be your dentist. I am always learning and perfecting my skills to provide you with the best dental care and cosmetic results possible. My team is very friendly, professional, and will treat you like family.”
Originally from Waukegan, Dr. Katris has enjoyed working with people, first in his family business and for over 27 years as a dentist. After meeting his pediatric dentist and experiencing how he truly loved his profession, Dr. Katris chose to devote his time to dentistry. Since then, he has been motivated to make people happy by improving their health and creating beautiful smiles.
Dr. Katris’ vision of creating a multi-specialty dental practice began in 1992 when he founded Carol Stream Dental Associates, and shortly after, Elgin Dental Associates. For almost three decades, Dr. Katris has been grateful for the opportunity to beautify smiles through great conservative dentistry. He excels in all phases of restorative and cosmetic care. He works closely with specialists in different phases of dentistry, which helps him consistently provide excellent results.
Dr. Katris stays cutting-edge by actively participating in advanced CAD/CAM dentistry. Using this technology, he creates beautiful and strong porcelain onlays and crowns in just one visit. Dr. Katris has performed many smile makeovers, from conservative composite bonding to implant-supported restorations and veneers.
In the community, Dr. Katris is a volunteer dentist at Marklund Wasmond Center in Elgin. In addition, Dr. Katris leads the annual ADA Veterans’ Smile event and Give Kids A Smile event at both offices.
In his spare time, he enjoys exercising, golf, fishing, and spending quality time with his family.
