Meet the Doctor

Andre Amarante, DDS

From his early visits as a child, Dr. Andre Amarante has been fascinated by dentistry. Growing up in his native Brazil, being a dentist was never far from his mind. That dream became a reality when he attended the prestigious Federal University of Bahia, graduating in 2004. Not long after graduating, he pursued additional training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and earned the International Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Certificate through a residency program in Brazil (OSID/UFBA).

Always wanting to further enhance his dental skills, Dr. Amarante relocated to the United States and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the top-ranked New York University (NYU) College of Dentistry. He practices as a broad-spectrum general dentist with an emphasis on Cosmetic Dentistry and Oral Surgery. Having completed dental school twice, his foundation in general dentistry is second to none, giving him the ability to provide comprehensive dental care and to perform complex surgeries with ease.

Dr. Amarante is a Fellow of the International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (IAOMS) and an active member of the American Dental Association (ADA), the Illinois State Dental Society (ISDS), the Chicago Dental Society (CDS), and the Latin American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ALACIBU). His commitment to continuing education ensures that Way Dental patients always benefit from the latest techniques and technology. His attention to detail, conservative approach, and gentle demeanor ensure that every patient feels confident in his skills and leaves with a beautiful smile.

On his spare time, Dr. Amarante loves to explore the North Shore and walk by the lake with his wife and daughters. He is also a passionate photographer. Take a journey through his lens in the gallery below.
