Dr. Nitika Arora is a general dentist at Grand Dental with over 22 years of experience. She recently joined the practice and is passionate about building lasting relationships with families, creating healthy smiles, and helping patients overcome dental anxiety.
As a child, Dr. Arora experienced significant dental anxiety, even needing an adult tooth pulled at a young age. That experience inspired her to pursue dentistry, with the goal of helping patients feel comfortable and cared for long before dental problems become severe. She is committed to providing compassionate, preventive-focused care for every patient.
Dr. Arora began her dental career in India before moving to the United States, where she continued her training in 2017. She attended the University of Illinois Springfield (UIS) and later earned her dental degree from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). Her background combines international training with U.S. education, giving her a well-rounded perspective on patient care.
Dr. Arora lives in Bolingbrook with her husband and two children. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, and they love exploring different parts of the city together. While she considers herself an introvert, she becomes an extrovert with her patients—always making sure they feel comfortable and valued.
