Services
Dr. Catharine Kennedy attended the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry where she graduated at the top of her class. Prior to dental school Dr. Kennedy graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University. She completed a one year General Practice Residency at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where she obtained advanced experience in all aspects of general dentistry and hospital based dentistry.
The practice was started in 1976 by doctors James J. Chorzempa and James R. Ziah. They built and nurtured the practice over 40 years into one of the most respected and professional dental practices in Illinois. Drs. Chorzempa and Ziah looked long and hard to find qualified dentists to continue taking excellence care of their patients.
As a dental team, we are dedicated to the concept that all people should have the opportunity to retain their teeth throughout their lifetime. We believe that the best way to achieve this goal is by starting with a complete and comprehensive exam, which includes any necessary diagnostic x-rays, study models, a thorough hygiene assessment, and oral cancer screening.
In addition, we also have a payment plan called CareCredit that allows you to make low monthly payments. CareCredit is a service offered by GE Capital Consumer Card Co. As a courtesy, our practice will be happy to assist you with the completion of any insurance claim forms you may have. All fees, however, are the full responsibility of the client.
At Kennedy & Limardi dental, we have a very experienced team of hardworking individuals. Our Buffalo Grove staff members are friendly, competent, and always willing to answer any of your dental questions. Our goal is to always provide "Service with a Smile!" Designed for both teens and adults, Invisalign clear aligners transform smiles and lives.

The entire staff is terrific and welcoming. First time with the hygensist Lisa who was very warm and professional and explained all the steps and procedures so i was informed. Dr. Limardi was very infomative and warm. I am super happy with the whole experience.

Horrible dentist, extremely poor standard of care.
(The response to my review is wildly inconsistent with my treatment at this practice, if I were looking for a good dentist I would look elsewhere)

Was a decades long patient of Jim Chorzempa. When he retired, Kennedy and Limardi bought the practice. At first, I was skeptical since I'd been with Dr. Chrozempa for so many years. Let me tell you, these are amazing women dentists and their staff, many stayed on, are just as wonderful. Cannot say enough about these 2 dentists. So happy I didn't change just because my dentist retired.

Stayed on with these two after my Dentist Jim Ziah retired. Far as I can tell they are first class. New Jim would pick a good team to talk over.

I have been a patient of Dr. Limardi for several years, but today I saw Dr. Kennedy for a bridge replacement. Would you believe me if I said it was a fun appointment!!! My comfort was a primary concern off this long appointment, and I honestly felt pampered. Every member of their amazing staff is top notch. I cannot recommend this practice more highly.

Very luckily I called and got a nite appt at Kennedy & Limardi the SAME day. Everyone was so friendly and no wait in the waiting room. I was in and out within an hour and I used my Care Credit account to pay interest free. Dr Limardi did an amazing job. My tooth feels and looks so much better than when I had it done the last time. Going back for my cleaning!

Wonderful practice, excellent staff, warm caring practitioners and even though we moved out of state, we continue to come for our cleanings and check ups when we come to town.
Would highly recommend this dental practice and if you haven't gone to a dentist in years cuz you're scared, believe me, you have nothing to worry about here.
They take great care of their clients and that is what makes this practice special!

Let me start by saying that I (like many, I think!) have a bit of a dental phobia - the drill just sets my nerves on edge. That said, since becoming a patient at Kennedy & Limardi Family Dental I have noticed my phobia gradually diminish. Dr. Kennedy has always taken the time to speak with me about all aspects of my dental health and any treatment plans. She is aware of my anxiety and offsets it with patience and great care. I truly feel like she gives 110% for the entire time she is with me.

In addition, her staff are top-notch. I feel comfortable and in good hands with the hygenist (Nina

Today was my first time in a dentist chair in over 10 years and to top it off I had to have two teeth pulled. Dr. Kennedy was amazing. She explained everything and put my nerves at ease. She was gentle and fast when pulling out my teeth, which was no easy task since they both were so chipped away that there was just enough to grab onto to pull… them out. And thank you to her lovely assistant Kathy for holding my hand during the whole procedure. The entire staff was so nice and helpful that I'm actually not scared to go to the dentist. Thank you so much Dr. Kennedy and to your entire staff

Both Dr Kennedy and Dr Limardi are the best! I needed to get a crown done and they were able to fit me in last minute. For a normally tedious procedure, I was in and out of the office with my new crown in under an hour and a half. It was virtually painless and Dr Kennedy did a great job. All the staff are extremely nice and welcoming!

I've been going to Dr. Limardi since she was in Gurnee and have followed her from her former office to her new practice (congrats doc!) I adore her and she makes my routine cleanings something I look forward getting done. You're next! See you soon!

"Pulling teeth is a scream!"...you have to love a dentist with a plaque that reads that on the wall. A dentist with a sense of humor. Dr. C, as he's called, is a hoot! I swear, I haven't had such a comfortable time in a dentist office in my life until I came here.

After my childhood dentist passed away :( (great man Dr. Kaplan) I went through several dentist that never floated my boat. Then I was referred to Dr. C. He's quick, funny and painless. You don't even feel the needle AND the drill isn't that scary. He gives a good dosage of novacane which makes me
