Mr Chidi Ezeokoli,

Dr. Chidi Ezeokoli was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, where her passion for dentistry began at an early age. Through frequent visits to her dentist for restorative care and braces, she saw firsthand how quality dental care could truly transform a smile and a person’s confidence. Those experiences inspired her to pursue dentistry as a career where she could educate her community, help patients feel their best, and provide the same compassionate care she once received. She earned her Bachelor of Science with Honors in Community Health from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign before obtaining her Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree from Creighton University. While in dental school, Dr. Chidi was actively involved in leadership and service, serving on the Student National Dental Association (SNDA) National Executive Board, leading her local SNDA chapter as president, and mentoring future healthcare professionals through Black Girls White Coat. In recognition of her leadership and dedication to service, she was named the inaugural recipient of the Jeanne Sinkford Leadership Award at Creighton University. Dr. Chidi believes great dentistry starts with listening. She takes a patient-centered approach, focusing on personalized care, honesty, and building long-term relationships. Her goal is to make every visit comfortable, positive, and stress-free. Known for her love of music, she even creates personalized playlists to help patients relax and enjoy their time in the chair. She also places a strong emphasis on preventive care, making sure patients feel informed and empowered about their oral health. She is an active member of the American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, and Greater Houston Dental Society. Outside of dentistry, Dr. Chidi enjoys traveling, reading, exercising, and creative writing, with hopes of one day publishing her own book. She is thrilled to be a part of the TLN family and looks forward to caring for you and your smile!
