This IS the dental clinic for anyone with an EXCREDIBLY SMALL MOUTH. They will work with you to…read moreget the job done in a comfortable manner. I lived in Glen Ellyn for many years and had Dr. Jansky for a dentist. I moved to Iowa and tried to find a dentist over here. My mouth is small and it is so difficult to work on that the Iowa dentist threatened me with physical violence if I did not leave. I went back to Dr. Jansky. My mouth is 50% smaller than a normal adult mouth and she is still able to fill the back teeth. She is truly an expert. The dental technicians are also fantastic. For example, the equipment for x-rays is much too large to fit in my mouth. They have several different types of commercial x-ray holders to put in the mouth. ALL of them were much too large for me so they improvised one made from materials in the office. It is quite comfortable. This dental clinic is not cheap - but you get what you pay for.

I have been going to this dental office for over 25 years, and at first, I would rate it a 5 star…read moreestablishment. Now that the business is owned by a conglomerate the services provided and office staff have gone downhill. My fillings failed in one year. Temporary crown broke in half in one day, permanent crown broke within a year. ( and no, I don't chew hard candy). Front desk personnel have a very high turnover due to the treatment of the firm. It seems that no one wants to stay. Billing is terrible. They don't get pre-authorizations from Delta Dental when asked by me, the patient. No detailed description provided to me of the bill - just lump sum charges. All is all, avoid this firm at all costs. Don't believe the other reviews they have. There are plenty of other dentist in the area that continue their education and learn new techniques that are less painful and last longer. Glen Ellyn Dental did this in the past, but no longer are they leaders - just followers.

John T Zaffer, DDS - Crown of my tooth coming off for the third time

I'll begin by saying that Dr. Zaffer has always been a nice man and his staff was very good in my…read morenearly 11 years as a patient of his. Unfortunately, I have recently had increasing concerns about Dr. Zaffer's abilities and judgment as a dentist. I have moved on to another dental facility and I have two family members who have left Dr. Zaffer after nearly three years with him. The main point of contention is simple: Dr. Zaffer does not stand behind his bridge and crown work. To elaborate, we've all had bridges made by Dr. Zaffer and all have failed within 3 years - in one case, less than a year. In all cases, decay and/or cavities developed on the underlying teeth which rendered the bridges unusable and necessitated, according to Dr. Zaffer, that new bridges be made. And at full or near full price... again. We've also had crowns that came loose in as little as 8 months. And a couple of times, instead of just replacing the crown, Dr. Zaffer opted for a much more expensive three tooth bridge - which necessitated the grinding down of two good teeth. It just didn't make sense, at least in my lay opinion. And since I'm not a dentist, I asked one about it. It is the opinion of my new dentist that the teeth involved in my failed bridge were not properly prepared for the bridge in the first place, resulting in unavoidable failure. Either some decay was missed on the underlying teeth before the bridge was put on, or there was a gap somewhere between the tooth/teeth and the bridge - or both. As for crowns falling out, it's a similar reason. The underlying tooth was not properly prepared to hold the cement to keep the crown affixed. I am beyond diligent in keeping my teeth clean and the fact that this happened to all three of us is a bit much to dismiss as coincidence or patient neglect. I know people who have bridges and crowns in their mouths that are 20-30 years old that are still just fine. I find Dr. Zaffer's claim that a bridge would need to be replaced after only a couple of years (or a crown coming uncemented after only 8 months) to be dubious. Ultimately, my advice would be - if possible, insist on a written guarantee from Dr. Zaffer for expensive dental work. Otherwise, you very likely will be charged twice for the same procedure, even if its failure is not your fault. Obviously, things like trauma or an individual patient's poor dental hygiene are out of Dr. Zaffer's control, but neither of those situations apply here. Additionally, Dr. Zaffer owns equipment that not only manufactures crowns, but up to three-tooth bridges as well. He should be lowering his prices since he no longer has to pay a lab for crowns and bridges. That should be another topic that prospective patients bring up with him before agreeing to an expensive procedure.

I had two crowns placed last year to the tune of $1600. They are both loose now, and Dr. Zaffer…read morewon't acknowledge that. Additionally, he wants to charge me $1080 dollars to fill three small cavities, even though I have insurance. He wants to take three hours to fill these cavities. This is typical of how much time he takes to get things done. In the meantime, you are left in the front office as your Novocain wears off before he ready to get it done. Needless to say, I am looking for a new dentist!

DO NOT GO HERE‼ Jessica was my dentist and convinced me to get veneers done because i had some…read morecomposite done by her that kept chipping. I ended up trusting her and getting the veneers done which cost me around $13,000. Immediately when I saw them I was in shock from how horrible they looked. They were huge, so bulky, and super opaque, they looked comical. I had these for a year now and ever since I got them my gums were so inflamed and turning gray. I've been in constant pain, and had to get them fixed multiple times by them, but they were never fixed correctly. On top of this, I knew they werent sealed right because I always had a foul taste in my mouth from them and also felt them clicking in and out of place all the time. I brought these concerns up many times and it was never addressed properly. I finally am in the care of an amazing specialist who fixed me up! But he showed me scans of all the work shes done on my mouth and my jaw was dropped. None of the veneers were sealed and he said if i didnt get them fixed, my teeth would have all rotted out. He also pointed out a crown she did on me that was also done incorrectly and needs fixing. I reached out to her about her MALPRACTICE and for a refund to which she rudely declined. Save your money and do NOT give these scammers a dime.

I have been coming to Smile Glen Ellyn for about 9 months or so now. I need a few implants along…read morewith some other additional dental work. I have been very happy with everyone in the office. Everyone is extremely pleasant, and Dr. Jessica Gibbs explains the procedures thoroughly. They definitely have the best new technology in the office ( at least compared to other practices I went to previously). But most of all, my dental work that I have had done so far has been pretty pain free including a few extractions and setting posts and caps for some future implants. If you are looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Jessica Gibbs and the rest of her staff.
