Dr. Kapil Vij
Pediatric Dentist
“Excellence is seeing my patients smile!”
Dr. Kapil Vij brings calm, compassionate care to every patient he sees. With over two decades of pediatric dental experience, he understands that visiting the dentist can be a source of anxiety for children — and often their parents. His thoughtful, gentle approach puts families at ease and creates a foundation for lifelong healthy habits.
Graduation and Education
Dr. Vij graduated from Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, Illinois, and earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He went on to receive his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Illinois in 1999, and completed his specialty training in pediatric dentistry in 2001. His dedication to excellence led him to pursue a Master of Science in Oral Biology in 2004.
Known for his calm demeanor and clear communication, Dr. Vij takes time to explain each child’s needs in a way that’s reassuring and easy to understand. When he’s not in the office, Dr. Vij enjoys spending time with his wife and their three children.
