Maria P. Freitas, DDS - General & Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Freitas is passionate about dentistry, people, and life.  She loves caring for her patients and creating beautiful, healthy smiles.  She is dedicated to providing superior comprehensive care in a comfortable, caring atmosphere.  Because of her ability to speak Portuguese, Spanish and French and the staff speaking Polish, the office can effectively communicate with a broad patient group.
She was born in Portugal but moved to the United States to pursue a college education.  Dr. Freitas graduated Cum Laude from two dental technology programs, one in Portugal and the other at Southern Illinois University (SIU), a total of six years of dental training.  At SIU she earned a Bachelors of Science degree, double majoring in Advanced …Technical Studies and Dental Technology with a minor in Psychology.  She graduated Cum Laude in two years.  Yes, this normally takes four years!  While taking 35 credit hours per semester, she also held the office of President of the European Student Association.  After graduation, Dr. Freitas married her college sweetheart.
Dr. Freitas continued her dental education at the University of Illinois Medical Center (UIC).  In 1995, she earned a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree (DDS), graduating with honors and academic awards.  She then completed an additional year of post-doctoral training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at UIC and affiliated hospitals. In 1996, she was invited to join the staff of Mercy Hospital Medical Center where she practiced as the main hospital dentist for five years.
In the summer of 1999, while still practicing at Mercy Hospital, Dr. Freitas realized her lifelong dream of owning a dental practice. Brush & Floss Ltd. has been serving the Schaumburg and Northwest Chicago suburban communities since then.
In 2006, Dr. Freitas completed the Invisalign certification program.  She is a believer in the proven benefits of Invisalign and feels it's one of the greatest innovations in dentistry.  Invisalign is now a focus of her practice.
Dr. Freitas is a member of the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society and Chicago Dental Society. She also serves on the Peer Review Committee of the Chicago Dental Society.
Her time away from work is dedicated to her family, especially her young son who is her greatest treasure.  She practices yoga, enjoys swimming & fitness training, loves nature & culture.  Dr. Freitas believes in life-long relationships with family, friends and patients.   She and her husband recently celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary.
