Dr Scheffler is an incredible dentist who prioritizes his patients and their needs. He is so gentle in doing his work that it's basically pain free. He listens and cares. The office is a great experience too! I'm can't recommend them enough! read more

Very easy to get an appointment, family run office, very relaxing great care - repaired a chipped tooth quickly and looks great!

Hands down the best dentist around! David and Helen are two of the nicest people. I always leave their office knowing that the dental work done to me was done by true professionals who care. I recently had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled out at Delaware Dental... when they told me I was done I was in shock as I felt nothing! They took great care of me and did follow ups with me the next day. If you're looking for dental work from a cavity fill, whitening teeth, or removal of teeth, Delaware Dental is the place to go. read more

Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Had my first appointment for a filling and Dr. Scheffler and team were beyond amazing to talk to and very professional. The office setting is very welcoming upon walk in, very calm and relaxing. During the procedure and cleaning, Dr. Scheffler walked me through everything he was doing, while ensuring I was comfortable and doing alright. Very precise on recommendations and things to watch out for going forward. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Dr Scheffler is the GREATEST ! Was in massive pain with a tooth. After waiting for 3 days, got an appt with my Root Canal dentist at Renovo. But in morning that day, that dentist choose to cancel appt ( Root canal was done & no more $$ to be made from me) so why bother !! Dr Scheffler understood my pain & squeezed me in same day, in a hour. After examination found a massive seed lodged in a crevice which had torn tender tissues like crazy. Like removing a thorn from your feet... Finally PAIN FREE. Thanks Doc. He will be your first & last stop. Sagar read more

Don't hesitate! Very caring, very very good and makes you feel at ease. Highly recommend.

This dentist will drill when not necessary just to make money. Convinced me a "decalcification" on xray would "only turn into a cavity and bring you right back here in 6 months" so, trusting my dentist, I had him fill the cavity after he told me my insurance would cover it. Immediately after the procedure, he tried to tell me I owed him $1800 for the filling and everything. He acted like he was doing me a HUUUGE FAVOR by offering to decrease it to $900. I paid him for what my insurance would have had me pay in co-pays and never went back. He was such a huge jerk about it and was trying to screw me out of money. Then, about 6 months later, I had to get a root canal on the "decalcified" tooth. My new dentist reviewed the X-rays from Delaware Dental and said I'd never even had a cavity there. I needed the root canal because of where he had drilled for the so-called future cavity. So - I ended up needing a root canal on a tooth that was originally FINE. This guy just tries to make money and will do unnecessary procedures to do so - takes advantage of the trust we put in our providers. He is all that is wrong with bad dentists. read more

I've been going to Delaware Dental for 10 years and have trusted them with everything from simple cleanings to filling replacements and cosmetic work. This husband/wife office is always inviting, relaxed and welcoming. I really appreciate their attentiveness to schedules. I never have to wait when I show up at my appointed time. The best thing I ever did was work with Delaware Dental for some cosmetic work on my front teeth. Years of hiding my smile because of self-conscious thoughts took only a few weeks to get over once I finished working with David. His advice and council on what would look natural to me, and his low pressure attitude let me walk away with a smile that is evident in every photo of me since! read more

Upon arrival, you just know it will be a different kind of visit. The waiting room is softly lit and has a very relaxing vibe, and the patient rooms have sliding glass patio doors with balconies overlooking Delaware Place. It feels nothing like the typical environs of a dentist office. Onto the Doc...I saw Dr. Scheffler in summer of 2015 after a bit of a hiatus from seeing the dentist, and he was an absolute pleasure. X-rays were taken, medical history reviewed, followed by all the scraping and cleaning stuff that the dentist does, concluding with some recommendations about a wisdom tooth. The whole experience was positive and I left feeling that I found a dentist that has a genuine care for his patients. Plus he's cool...sitting in the chair you feel like you're chatting with a buddy from college...who happens to be a dentist. I've since been back for a regular check-up type visit, and the experience continues to be very positive. Great music that he hand selects in a very comfortable space, a pleasant and professional staff, along with a high level of care. Plus a hot towel at the conclusion! Five stars all around. read more

I recently visited Delaware Dental being new to the area. I was excited to hear both dentists were Michigan graduates as that's a great dental school. The doctor was great and the place was very nice and clean. The billing part is another story... They charged $150 as an "estimated" amount and they said they would reimburse or charge more if the insurance price didn't match up. After opening my mail from my insurance company, I saw that I should have only had to pay $70 for the coverage and I didn't hear anything from Delaware Dental. So when I called, the receptionist acted as if this was news to them (I doubt they even check) and said she would credit it back. Two weeks later, still nothing. So I called again and left a voicemail, no call back. Furthermore, they couldn't schedule my next checkup (standard 6 months out) because it was too far in advance. I've never been to a dentist that wouldn't at least give me a tentative time on the calendar. I won't be going back. I don't like to feel scammed! read more

Dr. Scheffler is truly a class act who is great at his job. After seeing my now retired uncle for years, I was apprehensive and nervous on finding a new dentist. I had a bad experience with River North Dental Group where they baited me with the internal referral hoax (you need to see my colleague who is a oral surgeon). Dr. Scheffler explained to me that the prior treatment plan was not needed and that he would take care of my overlapping gum issue for FREE. Again, if you are looking for QUALITY and HONESTY, then I advise you come here! MY wife will be booking an appointment next week. The office is very tidy and the rest of the staff is pleasant. read more

Best dentist experience! The office has a modern and relaxing atmosphere. Dr. David and his wife Helen are very welcoming. It's a nice change of pace to be valued as a patient. Dr. David charges fairly and is upfront with the cost. I'm recommending Delaware Dental to everyone! read more

Dr. Scheffler is a fabulous dentist! Not only is he always professional but he truly takes an interest in one being's health. He is kind, gentle and really makes you feel like you are his priority. I found him based on yelp reviews and truly couldn't be more pleased with his services. I've had numerous services done including cleanings, a chipped tooth fixed and all wisdom teeth taken out in the office. The office is clean,nice and they play music! - its a little different then the average dental office but i think that's a good thing because now i don't mind going to the dentist. Another plus is he's extremely reasonably priced. To share a quick experience....Dr. Scheffler took out all four of my wisdom teeth in the office while i was awake (obviously numb). He was very professional and made sure i was calm and knew what was going on the entire time. They asked me what music i wanted on, Dennis (The dental assistant) gave me stress balls, a blanket, and he even held my hand through out the surgery (I'm 27 yo women) . During the numbing process Dr. Scheffler and Dennis chatted with me to keep my mind off the surgery. The process it self didn't take long and i really couldn't feel a thing. Dr. Scheffler and Dennis truly did a great job. He even called me later that evening to see how i was doing. Its the small things that really make a difference. I truly cant tell you how much i appreciate Delaware dental. They always follow up to my questions and answer my emails promptly about appointments. I highly recommend Delaware dental. You really cant go wrong with this dental office! read more

I found Delaware Dental on yelp and my insurance's in-network group. I found the office both inviting and professional. Dr. Scheffler is really efficient, meticulous, and personable. I was able to schedule a 7 AM so I didn't have to miss work. There was no wait time, which I really appreciate as a patient. I might be leaving Chicago in a year. But as long as I am in the city, I will come here to get my teeth cleaned and check up. read more

I've been going to Delaware Dental for 5 years...and can I just say it is A JOY to get my teeth cleaned! Both Dr. Scheffler and Dr. Song are two of the nicest, most talented, most personable dentists! They are tops in Chicago and have been around quite awhile. They are so accomodating...from scheduling cleanings around the clients schedule, to calling the insurance company to find out how much is covered, to making recommendations for orthodontists....I can't say enough good things about the dentists at Delaware Dental. I have referred no less than 10 people to Delaware Dental and everyone is a satisfied customer! read more

Great dentists! Both excellent dentists (husband and wife). Try them out - fair prices, good service. AND - they don't upsell you like some other dentists do. read more

I found Delaware Dental through my insurance's in-network group, and I was very pleasantly surprised! It's located in a clean, convenient building in the Gold Coast and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I was in a big rush (which I told the receptionist) and they made sure to get me in and out of there as quickly as possible. Dr. Scheffler had a great bedside manner, and was very professional and nice. I have very sensitive teeth - and he made very sure to stay cognizant of that during the entire appointment. The only "con" was that I didn't get the usual toothbrush and floss at the end of the visit :) If not for that, I would've given Delaware Dental 5 stars! read more

A friend and coworker told me about Delaware Dental when I was looking for a new dentist close to our office. That was almost two years ago, and this place would be well worth a hike even if it weren't amazingly located. First and foremost, Dr. Scheffler does incredible work. He's worked on multiple cavities (some on the giant side) for me--I hadn't been to a dentist for a few years before I started coming here--and all were impeccably done (no pain during, no complications after), some even sans Novacain. Drs Scheffler and Song obviously understand that teeth are a sensitive subject for all of us, and do super efficient, painless work. The whole staff is friendly, the office is comfortable, with lots of well thought-out design elements and great music playing. As for payment, you can always ask about cost ahead of time. Dr. Scheffler is more than happy to outline what a procedure costs to you and your insurance. He'll also give you the science-y specifics of exactly what's going on in your tooth, if you're interested, and will always let you know what you should take care of sooner, and what can wait until your next visit. If you're looking for a dentist (or not totally satisfied with the one you have), I highly recommend Delaware Dental. You'll look forward to taking care of your teeth! read more

Good Dentist but a Rip Off Artist! Never talks about cost of services. And always asks for payment immediately after your visit, even if it is unknown what insurance will cover. Following your visit, he will just charge an estmated amount to your credit card, and somehow that amount turns out to be exactly what the insurance didn't cover every time. In two years, my insurance max was met everytime to the penny. Also, he is very vague on explaining where and how many cavities you may or may not have. Receptionist is not freindly. Found the office to be a bit creepy. The whole hip lounge/swinger pad feel doesn't work for me. However, the main reason why I stopped seeing Dr. Dave is because my insurance informed he was charging over the "in net work" negotiated amounts (which are fixed priices agreed upon between in net work dentists and insurance cos). This was it for me! read more

I've been going to Delaware dental since 2007 - I left Chicago for 2 years for work so stopped using them during that period of time but as soon as I returned they were back to being my dentist! Not only are Drs. Scheffler and Song a pleasure to be around they are both extremely talented dentists. Every crown / filling has been done with extreme accuracy and skill with no future issues. And should you have an emergency they will do their best to accommodate and get you in.....or if you will be traveling or they will be traveling they will make sure you are sent on your way with the appropriate paperwork should an emergency arise when you may not be able to see them. Lastly, as a busy professional I have had to cancel last minute due to a conference call that went longer than planned, a deal closing, or unexpected business trip and they are very accommodating. I hate canceling last minute, but appreciate their flexibility. I don't think you'll find a better dentist in the city!! The music they play while working on your teeth is an added benefit :-) read more

My wife and I have been going to Delaware Dental for the past three years and we are extremely satisfied with the care that we have received. We have received care from both Drs. Scheffler and Song. Originally we came to them because we were looking for a second opinion on a complicated procedure for my wife. The first opinion would have been very costly and difficult. Dr. Scheffler suggested a second, more simple option that has worked beautifully. Since this original treatment we have been sold on their care. As other reviews have said; the office has a cool vibe, the staff is friendly and helpful. They are always on time, not making be wait for appointments. And most importantly I believe that our care has been first rate. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for great dental care read more

I didn't even want to give this place ONE star, but it was my only option. Let me start out by saying this place has the worst hours... every time I called to schedule an appt the doctor was on vacation; must be nice. I had x-ray's taken by Dr. Scheiffer and he said I had a few cavities. I let him fill the cavities (even though he couldn't tell me where they were on the pictures of the x-ray's) because I am petrified of bad teeth. Anyway, I get them filled and my cheeks remain swollen for a week, I have a horrible bruise that lasts over a month AND he charges me an arm & a leg (with two insurances'). I can't eat on the left side of my mouth, all of my chewing has to be done on the right side of my mouth. I went in to the office to tell him this and he examined me & told me at no cost to me he'd do it all over again.... BUT he'd bill my insurance a million dollars, of course! NO, I'd rather not go through the pain/agony/trouble of letting him drill into my mouth for half of a day again. I'd rather go to someone with experience and knowledge of dentistry. Needless to say I was so uncomfortable at the thought of having him touch my mouth again I flew all the way to the East Coast to a dentist I could trust! I wouldn't recommend this dentist to anyone. The only reason people use him is because he is "in-network." I'd rather pay & go out of network. read more

I love Delaware Dental! It's a husband and wife team and they couldn't be sweeter. The rooms for cleanings both face the street. They are on the 2nd story, and have big windows they open in the spring time and you can look out into the trees and down to Delaware. A nice breeze makes you forget your teeth are being drilled. A+ read more

I saw Dr. Scheffler for the first time today and left very pleased. My teeth have never felt so clean! He was very quick yet thorough. The office was modern and comfortable. I will most defiantly be returning. They are also willing to work with your budget if you don't have insurance. And to top it off I got a hot towel at the end of my cleaning! read more

Dr. Scheffler is not only a great dentist but an artist who is consistent, up to date, and funny! I can not tell you how much I appreciate his work but I know it shows in my smile. I have recently moved away from Chicago and Dr Scheffler will be one of the hardest people to try and replace.. I can't help but feel a little sorry for the next dentist because he/she has a lot to live up to! Thanks Delaware Dental for your years of great dentistry and service. read more

I stumbled upon Delaware Dental because of it's close proximity to where I lived. I feel like I found a hidden treasure. It was one of the best dental experiences I have had and I will definitely be going back as long as I live in Chicago. There is definitely an urban vibe to the office and they go out of their way to help you feel informed and relaxed which is important to me. They give you options on treatment plans and I didn't feel pushed into having anything done that I didn't want done. If you're looking for a great dental office I highly recommend you check them out! read more

This is a boutique dental office run by two dentists who are also a married couple. I was very pleasantly surprised that the dentists do the cleanings and xrays themselves. I would much rather have a dentist working on me than a hygenist as the dentist has more training. Dr. Scheffler was very relaxed and didn't seem at all irritated about my somewhat irrational fear of xrays. He did a great job on my cleaning and with my xrays. I am a demanding consumer and I was very happy with Dr. Scheffler's care. read more

I've been going to Dr Scheffler and his wife Helen for over 10 years. Personally I have always dreaded getting my teeth done! Since I've been going to Delaware Dental I now get my teeth cleaned about every 4 months. They keep me in check and are just honest with what I truly need! Of course getting cavities filled will never be my favorite...but Dr Scheffler makes it as painless as possible. Awesome customer service! Definitely the best in the city!!! read more

I miss Delaware Dental! I went to Deleware Dental after a friend recommended Dr. Scheffler when I told him I was looking for a new dentist. Dr. Scheffler did not disappoint. It wasn't until I moved away to San Francisco that I realized I lost a pretty amazing dentist. He's almost worth the flight back to get my dental work done. I've yet to find anybody in San Francisco that even comes close. He was always very helpful, efficient, and honest in his care. He always worked with me to make sure I could get what I needed done under my insurance plan. I strongly recommend Dr. Scheffler and Dr. Song. read more

I wish I could give Dr. Scheffler more stars. I have been using Yelp for years, but never added a review myself. It's Dr. Scheffler's excellent service, care, and kindness (along with his great team) that finally made me write my first review! I found Dr. Scheffler through my insurance carrier in 1996. It was a weekend, my crown fell out and I was in a bind. I called Dr. Scheffler over the weekend and he took me in right away and remedied the problem. The only way I can convey why I would highly recommend Dr. Scheffler is through a Top 10 List: 1. I can always schedule an appointment (he's very flexible with his time). 2. I never have to wait in his office (I think the longest I've ever waited over the past 15 years was maybe 2 minutes, tops). 3. He explains precisely what he's doing. 4. Cost conscience (he will recommend what you need and doesn't try to up sell). 5. Technically he knows his stuff, always on the front lines of new trends and technology. 6. He's easy to get along with and has a calming manor. 7. Prior to Dr. Scheffler I had five other dentists. Since 1996 Dr. Scheffler is the only dentist I go to and will continue to go to. 8. Excellent service, care, and kindness (along with his great team). 9. I love his office design, and he has an eclectic and tasteful music playlist throughout the office. 10. He started as my dentist and has become a great friend to me and my family. read more

This doctor is the best I ever see!! I have a lot of tooth problems since I was a teen. I always avoid to see dentist because it is always like torture. In spite of I know I have a lot of issues need to be fixed. lately I just get some infection on my mouths cause other health issues so I have to check in with dentist. So I let few friends referal me dentist. After look up all these doctors info. I decide go to see Doctorscheffler. Since I think is good location. I was prepared for pain and torture for my visit. It turned out almost no pain. dr Scheffer took out all of bad stuff in my mouth like an artist. And tell me why I have all sorts of problems and how to fix it. He did not try to sale more. I feel sorry bite his assistant's hand when he do X Ray for me. 5 star experience. Will come back fix all of my cavities and stick with this dr. read more

Wow! I came in as a new patient this morning. I have been seeing the same dentist my whole life and didnt think I would find the same passion and care as my life long dentist. Since I've been in Chicago I've seen 3 other dentists. None of those other dentists cared the way Dr. Schenller did. He didn't rip me off, he didn't up sell me and he didn't lie to me. Also he gave me great insight on how to best care for my teeth. They do it all there and keep it REAL! The BEST PART IS I CAN'T STOP SMILING! Can't wait for my next appointment! If your disappointed with current dentist or have had a bad experience, I garuntee that Dr. Schenller and his whole crew will take care of you! There's something to be said about a mom pop dentist verses any chains. The passion and care is delivered full throttle! Thank you Delaware Dental :) read more

I found Delaware Dental on yelp and am very happy with them! I'm not one to enjoy a trip to the dentist but had to go in after chipping my front tooth. While a veneer was being made, they put in a temporary tooth so my front teeth looked normal. One morning, my temporary tooth fell out and caused a dental emergency as I could not go into work the way my mouth looked. I was able to call in and have an appointment in 30 minutes without an extra charge! They really do a great job and I can't imagine going anywhere else. read more

I have been going to Delaware Dental for about 10 years. They have always seen me promptly and provided excellent care. They are friendly and I enjoy the atmosphere. Besides routine cleaning and fillings, they replaced one of my front teeth that was broken and fixed when I was a child. It now looks great and they whitened the rest of my teeth to match the new tooth. Dr. Scheffler is an artist and I will keep coming back! I live in Michigan now but Delaware Dental is worth the trip to Chicago. I have never found another Dentist that I feel so comfortable with. read more

I love Delaware Dental and Dr. Scheffler!!!! I moved to Chicago a little over a year ago and at an age closer to 50 than 40, I had only had to two dentists over the span of my of my lifetime. One retired and one was my cousin. They were great dentists. Dr Scheffler is right up there with them. Great skills, fantastic demeanor and once when I forgot my wallet, allowed me to go home and send him a check. Honest as the day is long and just an all around great guy. Answers my questions and explains treatments. So so so glad I found Dr Scheffler!!!!!! read more

Love Dr. Scheffler. Super nice guy, very easy to talk to and listen to (since its mostly one-way conversations). The office is very professional and efficient, they send you text reminders for appointments and they are very accommodating in terms of scheduling and pricing. He knocked $100 off my whitening treatment just because he knew some people I work with. read more

I have been going to Dr. Scheffler for over 8 years now and have not had a bad experience. He is very professional, personable and, most importantly, does fantastic work. I have had years of issues with my front teeth since I broke them in an accident when I was little. Dr. Scheffler replaced my bonding with crowns and I have not had an issue with them since. I have always wondered that it is hard to tell how good your dentist really is, but I was able to determine that David really is an excellent dentist. I moved to NC for two years for graduate school and the dentist in NC actually complimented the dental work that I had done at Delaware Dental. This truly gave me peace of mind and I will continue to go to Dr. Scheffler for all of my dental needs. read more

Dr. Dave is the best! He makes your dental visit enjoyable...his office is clean, relaxing, and comfortable. I've had a lifetime of dental fear until I started seeing Dr. Dave and Dr. Helen. They are the best in the city!! Give them a try... read more

I have been a patient at DD for over 2 years now. I have had fillings done there, cleanings, etc. The people are really nice, don't get me wrong. But, a recent experience we had will keep us from coming back. My husband and I both had an appointment at the same time for cleanings. We were both told that we had cavities. I was surprised because I recently had some fillings done, and had changed my teeth cleaning behavior etc. But we had a long convo with the dentists about what we can do to change and about cavities in general. We also made appointments to go back for fillings. After realizing I had a conflict, I had my husband call to reschedule. At that point, they told him that he didn't have any cavities, even after double-checking his file!! This was so bizarre, because they veryl clearly told him he had two cavities while we were there for our cleaning. After this, I began to question their services and have decided to go to another dentist. read more

First Visit Ever, early November 2011: So I was the last appointment of the day and showed up late because of traffic and I walked into the office so frantic but was quickly calmed because everyone was so welcoming and all smiles. The office was great; the view from the dentist chair was beautiful and the music in the background was quite calming. Not to mention, Dr Scheffler was great, I'm new to the area and he told me about some great restaurants nearby, while he was cleaning my teeth haha. As far as the damage he found (i hadn't been to a dentist in 2 years), he was very honest with me and gave me all of my options... permanent v. temporary fixes, expensive v. more affordable; it really helped me own the decisions I was making for the future of my teeth, from whitening (which i was once told I could never do, can't wait to do it!) to a possible root canal (ouchhhh). From what I can tell, his practice is extremely honest, dependable, and friendly, if you're looking for a practice you can rely on, i'd highly recommend Delaware Dental. Last Visit Ever, July 2012: So last time I went to the dentist because they didn't close a gap properly between two teeth when they filled a cavity. Their scheduling stunk so I went to another dentist who told me I should just go back to the original dentist because of course they would fix it for free since it was their fault... I went back to Delaware dental and was told it was my fault because of the shape of the tooth next to the one they'd filled and they charged me $100. I was pissed but I dealt. I figured I wouldn't have to go back.... Until a filling I had done here popped out when flossing on Monday. It was so sensitive I couldn't eat on the left side of my mouth. First they said they couldn't fit me in until July 23rd. That was not acceptable so I had to plead for them to get me in and they got me in at 730 this morning. I was relieved. They took an X-ray (why?) and fixed my filling. I figured since it was their fault it would be on them. Nope, of course not. I got charged my deductible because I had an emergency appointment and got an X-ray. I challenged it and they could have cared less. Dr. Scheffler may be nice and do good cosmetic work but I feel taken advantage of so I won't be going back. Now I'm just praying nothing else goes wrong! read more
