“What a great team! I had to have a chipped filling replaced and I did not have ANY pain during the entire procedure. The dentist even providing a guided breathing technique when he saw me tense up for the initial numbing treatment- which was miraculously painless. Just so pleased by Lakeview Dental and Dr. Adelakun and his team. I really trust them with my care.”

“Very understanding doctor. Explained everything well to you, and presented multiple options for you. Front office staff very helpful as well.”

Continuing his education, he graduated from University of Illinois at Chicago. After working several years as a mechanical engineer in the nuclear power plants industry, Dr. Adelakun returned to his alma mater to embark on a new career in dentistry. In 2009, he was awarded his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree by the UIC College of Dentistry.While in dental school, Dr. Adelakun distinguished himself by conducting research on dental materials.

In addition to excelling in his studies, Dr. Adelakun was among the few top students who were chosen, based on clinical skills, to spend half of his senior year working at low income clinics in the Chicago area instead of working in school. During this time, he did residency in three pediatric and AIDS clinics in Chicago and in Lake County.Dr. Adelakun is very passionate about his profession. He loves the science of dentistry and has traveled all over the nation to continue his education and learn from the best in the field. He is actively pursuing continuing education in the areas of orthodontics, endodontics and oral & implant surgery.
