Background and Credentials
I wanted to be a dentist from the time of my first visit to a dental office.
I grew up in Lincolnwood and lived in Skokie while earning my DDS degree at the University of Illinois, College of Dentistry in 1983. After spending a few years providing care at an office in Peoria, Illinois, I returned to the Chicago area, where I have been providing dentistry in the communities of Lincolnwood from 1986 through 2005 and now, Skokie since 2005.
I have continued to update my dental knowledge by taking over 1500 hours of continuing education classes, and I emphasize the use of high-technology dentistry at my office.
As far as professional affiliations, I am an active member of the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Dental Association, and the Illinois and Chicago Dental Societies. I have also served as an advisory Board Member of the Texas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, and I am a past President of the Society For Advanced Microdentistry.
After years of caring for patients and building lasting relationships within the community, Dr. Goone retired mid-2026 to enjoy more time with his family. At Leading Edge Dental Center, we are honored to continue the vision, values, and patient-first approach that he built throughout his career.
