Dr. Erin Cho, DMD, FAGD

Founder & General Dentist – Re·gen Smile Studio

A proud Chicago native, Dr. Erin Cho is a dedicated general dentist with a passion for delivering high-quality, evidence-based care grounded in minimally invasive techniques and long-term health. She founded Re·gen Smile Studio to combine the science of modern dentistry with a personalized, patient-first experience – one that emphasizes both wellness and longevity. As a second-generation dentist, Dr. Erin is proud to practice alongside her father and brother in the suburbs. She was inspired by the warm, family- oriented approach he cultivated in his suburban practice and dreamed of bringing that same family dental practice style to the city.

Dr. Erin earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago through a competitive accelerated program, where she also completed her undergraduate studies. To broaden her training and gain advanced clinical experience with medically complex patients, she completed a General Practice Residency at Evanston Hospital, where she rotated through emergency trauma, anesthesia, pediatrics, and oral surgery.

Is tooth extraction painful?

With modern anesthesia and sedation options, tooth extraction is not painful. You may feel pressure during the procedure, but you should not experience pain. We offer various sedation levels to ensure your complete comfort, and we’ll provide pain management instructions for your recovery.

How long does recovery take after tooth extraction?

Most patients recover within 3-7 days. Initial healing of the extraction site typically takes 1-2 weeks, while complete bone healing can take several months. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth, quick recovery.

What can I eat after tooth extraction?

For the first 24 hours, stick to soft, cool foods like yogurt, smoothies, and ice cream. Gradually introduce soft foods like mashed potatoes, pasta, and eggs. Avoid hot foods, hard foods, and using straws for at least a week. We’ll provide a complete dietary guide.

What are the alternatives to tooth extraction?

Depending on your situation, alternatives may include root canal therapy, dental crowns, or periodontal treatment. During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly examine your tooth and discuss all possible treatment options before recommending extraction.

When should wisdom teeth be removed?

Wisdom teeth should be removed if they’re impacted, causing pain, leading to infection, or crowding other teeth. Many dentists recommend removing them in your late teens or early twenties before problems develop and while recovery is typically faster.

Do you offer sedation options?

Yes! We offer multiple sedation options including local anesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV sedation. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option is best for your comfort level and the complexity of your procedure.

What happens if I don't replace an extracted tooth?

Missing teeth can lead to bone loss, shifting of surrounding teeth, bite problems, and difficulty chewing. We recommend discussing replacement options like dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures to maintain your oral health and smile.
