About Us
Prevention Meets Personal Care at Our Lombard Dental Office
Denova Dental was built around a simple belief: people make better decisions about their health when they feel informed instead of intimidated. That belief shapes every appointment, every conversation, and every recommendation we make.
Our Philosophy of Care
Patient-Centered from day one.
We prioritize comfort, trust, and individualized treatment for every patient. Every recommendation is explained clearly, and every decision is made together.
Meet the Doctor
The Lombard Dental Team Your Smile Can Count On
Dr. Amna Alwalie, DMD, MPH
"I am passionate about providing personalized, evidence-based dental care in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Every patient deserves to feel heard, informed, and confident in their smile."
Dentistry captured Dr. Alwalie's attention long before dental school. Watching her cousin carefully set teeth for a denture showed her that dentistry could blend science, artistry, and helping people all at once. That perspective still shapes the way she approaches every smile today.
Dr. Alwalie is a wife and mother of four, balancing family life with her love for dentistry. Outside the practice, she usually has a cup of coffee in hand, a jazz record playing, or is traveling, always eager to learn about new places and history along the way.

Modern Technology
The Tools Behind the Treatment
Modern tools let us catch concerns earlier, explain findings more clearly, and deliver care that's more comfortable for you. Every piece of technology we use serves a clear purpose: helping you understand your own smile.
- ✓iTero Intraoral Scanner. Digital impressions without messy trays. A smile visualizer lets you see potential outcomes before treatment.
- ✓Digital X-Rays. Lower radiation, faster results, and images you can see and understand during your visit.
- ✓AI-Assisted Radiograph Analysis. We walk you through x-ray findings in plain language before the doctor enters, so nothing is a surprise.

Your Family Belongs Here
As your family's needs change, our dental home grows with you. From childhood checkups to adult restorative treatment, we welcome every generation under one roof, making it easy to build a lasting relationship with a Lombard dentist who already knows your smile.
Rooted in Public Health
Dr. Alwalie's Master of Public Health brings a prevention-first mindset to every visit, catching concerns early before they become bigger problems.
Straighten Your Smile with Purpose
As a Certified Invisalign Provider, Dr. Alwalie treats alignment with healthier bite and gums in mind, so results are built to truly last.
One Visit, Whole Family
Family block scheduling means parents and kids can be seen together, turning dental care into simple, shared time rather than three separate trips.
