I moved to Downers Grove in December of 2018. After switching to an Illinois insurance carrier, I…read morefinally made time to locate a local dentist. I wasn't at all thrilled with the one recommendation I received, so I came to Yelp and was not disappointed! I was hoping for a highly rated dentist in walking distance, and Tower Dental seemed to check all my boxes. Online registration, quick and friendly staff, clean modern facility (it's a lot bigger than it looks from the street!) with the latest technology - all good starts. But the proof is in their actual performance, and there they SHINE! Anna was my hygienist, and she was the most efficient and gentle I have ever had. Ever. Due to circumstances, I had gone over a year since my last checkup and cleaning, so I knew there would be extra work for her and likely a bit extra "trouble" for me... OMG yes, it took longer than usual, but she took great care of me. Dr. Kats joined us when all that was complete and I was happy to hear that my good dental health continues. Dr. Kats is a warm and professional dentist whom I would recommend even based on our short acquaintance, but his overall practice receives my immediate and unconditional endorsement! And, you can go right across the street after your appointment for a great pizza at Angelo's :-).

My experience is always wonderful. Dr. Kats and staff are all knowledgeable and helpful and very…read morefriendly.

The office is located in a brick house but once inside it surely doesn't look like a house. Patient areas are clean, bright, and have quite comfortable patient chairs. Most every patient room has a window and the warmth of the outside eases the nervous feeling many people have while at a dentist. The hygienist we have most often is Meg. She remembers her patients and does a good job with cleanings, X-rays, and finding any issues. The "creature comforts" include a coffee/tea/hot chocolate machine, a video game system and small children's wooden train table in the kids waiting room, and on many days there is a massage therapist that can massage legs, feet, hands, and arms while you are having your dental cleaning or procedures done. After your dental appointment the massage therapist can offer a short back massage to ease you back in to your day. Great free services for the patients! Parking is never a problem and covers a large portion of what was the original homes front yard. Seasonal decorations are simple but very well done. We plan on returning here for the years to come even though we don't live nearby. It's worth the trip.

I had treatment with this dentist several years ago, and it remains one of the most uncomfortable…read moreand concerning healthcare experiences I've had. I went in trusting that I would be guided through appropriate, necessary care. Instead, I left with the sense that decisions were being made for me, not with me, and without the level of explanation you would reasonably expect for permanent procedures. There was very little meaningful discussion of alternatives, long-term outcomes, or even basic risk. It felt transactional at best and pressured at worst. I was ultimately persuaded to undergo six root canals, which a later dentist reviewed and said were not necessary based on my X-rays. That alone is difficult to process. Root canals are not minor, reversible choices--they fundamentally change the structure and longevity of a tooth. To move forward with that many, without clearly established need and without transparent communication, is something I continue to question. What is even more concerning is what followed. I was told I would need crowns, which is standard after root canals--but only after the procedures were completed was I informed that my teeth were "too short" for crowns and he could not place them. This was never explained beforehand. There was no warning that I might be left in a position where proper restoration was not possible. That is not a small oversight; it is central to the entire treatment plan. Had I been told this upfront, I would have made very different decisions. The outcome speaks for itself. My upper back molars were left without appropriate restoration and have since fractured and are now broken, requiring additional treatment that could likely have been avoided with proper planning and communication. Being placed in a situation where the intended next step was not even feasible after irreversible work had already been done is, frankly, difficult to justify. Thankfully, I found a competent dentist (Tower Dental) who was able to restore most of my teeth, something I had previously been told was not possible. That contrast alone is telling. It underscores how much clearer communication, planning, and skill can change the trajectory of care. Unfortunately, by that point, the damage to my upper back molars had already been done. The overall environment in the office did not inspire confidence either. The dentist was openly harsh and dismissive toward his assistant during my visits, which created a tense, uncomfortable atmosphere. It is difficult to feel at ease as a patient when the dynamic in the room feels strained and unprofessional. I later learned she was his daughter, which made the behavior even more unsettling to witness. At one point, while I was still actively in pain, I was also encouraged to consider veneers. The timing and context of that suggestion felt inappropriate and raised additional concerns about priorities in care. When a patient is dealing with unresolved pain and major restorative work, cosmetic upselling should not be part of the conversation. Overall, I left feeling pressured, inadequately informed, and uncomfortable. This experience significantly impacted my trust in dental care and led to additional procedures and costs that I am still dealing with years later. I would strongly encourage anyone considering treatment here to reconsider.

Five-Star Review for Dr. Michael W. Bennett - Grove Dental, Downers Grove…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Michael W. Bennett! I had a dental emergency when a veneer on my front tooth, which was done by a previous dentist, cracked in half. My previous dentist had retired, so Dr. Bennett was new to me. He took me in right away, even though I didn't have an appointment, and repaired my existing tooth. I was very emotional when I called because it was my front tooth, and I was worried about how it would look. Dr. Bennett came through with flying colors! Not only did he fix my tooth, but it actually looks even better than the original. I am so grateful for the care he gave me and the way he handled my emergency. Going to a new dentist can be a little unsettling, especially when you're dealing with something as important as your smile, but Dr. Bennett has made me feel completely comfortable and confident in choosing him as my new dentist. Thank you, Dr. Bennett, for your kindness, professionalism, and excellent work. I couldn't be happier, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful dentist. Five stars aren't enough!

I had a root canal done by them many years ago and was never done right. I always complained at every cleaning. they suggested a tooth extraction. so when I returned I still complained about it throbbing all the time ever since I had it done. pain is manageable with ibuprofen. the doctor walked in tapped on my tooth asked if it hurt I said no it just throbs all the time. she says "you grind your teeth " and left the room. like why don't my other teeth hurt. I didn't get a chance to ask because she just turned and left the room

I would like to start by stating that I am happy that I decided to have dental implants done at…read moreClearchoice. The services that I received were great until I encountered a problem. I understand that not all procedures go according to plan but I had unusual circumstances where I had a lot of facial swelling that took 4 to 6 weeks for the swelling to go down. After the swelling went down I still had tenderness in my top gums and although I thought it could just be still in the healing phase because it was an extensive procedure. I spoke with the Surgeon Dr. Nicholas Zawada whom was a Gem, he was very attentive to my needs following the procedure and the pain that I continued to have. I went to see him and he suggested I see a neurologist because I continued to have tenderness at the top of my mouth. Upon me having another appointment to follow-up with the Prosthodonist Dr. Diana Cuesta I made her aware of the situation that had been going on for a few months now. When they removed the implants to see how the surgery had gone I was in a lot of pain because again there was still tenderness after 4 months which was unusual and I started to moan because of the pain. I was really disappointed with the reaction of Dr. Cuesta because I have been in healthcare for over 30 years and the way I was treated after expressing I was in pain was unacceptable. I considered having the final portion of my procedure done elsewhere because I didn't like that she raised her voice out of dismay from the reaction of me stressing I was in pain. She rudely stated that "she can not work under these circumstances" and asked the person that was assisting her to numb my mouth. I felt as if my pain wasn't important to her and come to find out when they removed the implants my mouth was bleeding and they realized that the top screws in the upper part of my mouth were lodged too deep into my gums and this is what was causing the pain. I'm not stating that it was anyone's fault that this happened but what I do know is I wasn't treated like a patient should be treated when they are clearly in pain. I have put off having the second part of my procedure done because I am traumatized when it comes to having dental work done after all of the pain I endured. I spoke with Bri who works at Clearchoice and explained the situation to her and she informed me that I could have another physician from the company to complete the final stage of my dental work. Again, I love that I had the work done but I was not happy with the treatment that I received after expressing the pain I was in. Felicia Brown
