Shortly after graduation Dr. Paolucci returned to Joliet, where he joined his family’s dentist, Dr. George Fehrenbacher who retired from dentistry two years later.
Dr. Paolucci stays acquainted with modern dental advancements by regularly attending continuing education courses and seminars. He has currently upgraded his office equipment to best provide modern, skillful dental care in a most comfortable setting. His practice philosophy is to establish a trusting, satisfying and lasting relationship with his patients. His goal for new patients is not to be their next dentist, but to become their last dentist. He strives to be a “Family” dentist, who provides exceptional restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Paolucci takes great pride knowing that numerous generations of family members, from great grandparents to their great grandchildren, in trust their dental health in him.
He and his staff have a high concern for patient comfort and embody a calming demeanor for patient anxiety. Dr. Paolucci places a strong emphasis on patient education. He fosters open discussion and explains advantages and disadvantages of treatment plan options, which empower patients to make informed decisions. A clear understanding entitles patients to select conservative care, or more aggressive approaches to promote dental health and beautiful smiles.

As office manager, Judy strives to minimize patient out of pocket expenses and makes every effort to work with and accommodate patient’s needs. Their shared practice philosophy is to treat all patients with respect, empathy, and accommodation. Dr Paolucci and his wife are strong advocates of community service.
