Teeth are expensive, it is what it is. I've gone to other dentists and they are very average priced…read morehere. I'm getting a decent amount of work done after a long break. My previous dentist in lasalle put me off to dental work after he would berate me in the office. I would feel ashamed of my teeth. After realizing I need to suck it up and go to a dentist, I had my first visit today and I felt not one bit of judgement. The hygienist was very helpful and conscious of my pain. She took X-rays (because how else would they know what to do). They wrote a plan for me and are working with my insurance and my budget. I'm also getting my wisdom teeth removed at the same place.

Warning: Predatory Billing and Financial Negligence…read more I am leaving this review to warn others about the unprofessional and predatory billing practices at A Lifetime of Smiles. After completing several visits in February 2025, I paid a total of $1,669.00 in person at the time of service. Despite these large payments, the office never sent me a single paper bill or electronic statement. The first "notice" I received of any balance was a casual text message sent at 4:00 PM the day before a scheduled appointment in April 2025, claiming I owed a "heads up" amount of $946.00. When I immediately asked for a breakdown, they waited until the next morning to tell me $829.00 was a "prior balance" from insurance adjustments. They went completely silent for 11 months, only to send this unverified debt to a collections agency in March 2026. After doing the math myself using my Cigna EOBs and bank records, their numbers are mathematically impossible: Verified Over-Collection: On February 12, 2025, my insurance EOB stated my responsibility was only $465.00. However, the office charged me $712.00 at the window--an over-collection of $247.00 for a single visit. Missing Credits: According to my insurance, my total responsibility for all February visits was $1,742.60. Since I already paid $1,669.00, my actual balance should have been roughly $73.00, yet they are hounding me for $829.00. This office appears to either have a complete failure in their accounting department or is intentionally "balance billing" patients for amounts the insurance company has already adjusted. To jump straight to collections a year later without ever providing an itemized invoice is a predatory and unprofessional way to treat patients. I have filed a formal complaint with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) and the Attorney General. Avoid this practice unless you want to be blindsided by fraudulent "balances" a year after your treatment.

But the made me feel comfortable. When the doctor did the shot to numb me i didn't feel anything. I mean no pain from the needle. It was great because that part hurts. But not this time. When the tooth got pulled that also went great. I was very happy with everything. I didn't have insurance so I paid out of pocket and they were great price.
