Our St. Charles Office
Dr. Prose’s journey into orthodontics began with a genuine love for helping people and early exposure to healthcare through shadowing experiences in high school and college. Drawn to the unique blend of aesthetics, problem-solving, and long-term patient care, orthodontics felt like the perfect fit. While he’s always enjoyed working with kids, over time he developed a strong appreciation for the complexities of adult orthodontic care. Collaborating with general dentists to find comprehensive solutions for adult patients has deepened his expertise and strengthened his commitment to interdisciplinary care.
As a longtime resident and practitioner in St. Charles, Dr. Prose cherishes the strong sense of community that defines the area. He and Dr. Tara Grzetic live where they work, and nothing brings him more joy than seeing familiar faces around town. Whether treating a child just starting their smile journey or an adult seeking renewed confidence, Dr. Prose values the relationships built along the way and the opportunity to serve generations of families in a place he’s proud to call home.
