If you have a complex dental situation, DO NOT take chances by seeing Dr. Fondriest. You need to…read moresee a board certified Prosthodontist. https://www.gotoapro.org He is not, but would leave you to believe he is. Even his secretary answered that he was when I initially called and inquired. I had a complex situation involving my front teeth. In summary, he was to make me a new temporary bridge, replacing an old one from another dentist that was not aesthetically done well. There typically is no risk associated with simply doing so. He talked me into this as an interim step while more specialists were seen and a final treatment plan was considered and made. My dental history was complex, which he was thoroughly aware of as we spent a lot of time talking about it in detail, and notes were made. One of the teeth supporting the bridge was very fragile and potentially was going to need extraction after a final plan determined. The tooth had been treated very delicately by previous dentists as to not rupture or crack it which could lead to ugly problems. Dr. Fondriest unimaginably used a drill on the inside of the tooth, rupturing it inside the gum. He remained quiet about it, and continued to work making the new bridge, when done, he advised me to find a Periodontist to get the tooth extracted as soon as possible. It took three weeks to get in to see someone and have that done... in the meantime the fractured tooth was eating away bone inside my gums..and when the extraction was finally done it was not nice and neat.... I was left with an enormous void in my front gums that may never be able to be fixed. ...additionally, when he made the bridge, he used a very risky technique of painting acrylic onto my teeth and gums...... two days later my gums were burning... and layers of my gum tissue was peeling off, and certain vital aesthetic areas did not heal. I called him in a frantic,, and he said I was having a reaction to "the medicine" he used... I said, "you mean the acrylic"...you were "painting" on? He thought I didn't hear him talking to his assistant regarding what they were using. He admitted, "yes". Dr. Fondriest claims to practice Prosthodontics. He should not be using the word Prosthodontics to describe himself. He is not a certified Prosthodontist, he a dentist that chooses to take on "cosmetic" cases. Anything that is complex, he should not touch. Additionally, on numerous occasions, he claimed to be officially "rated". ....after looking into it, he pays to be included in a publication that simply lists Dr's who pay to be included. It's a money making, marketing ploy; https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/top-doctor-awards-deserved-abc-news-investigation/story%3fid=16771628 I'm not sure how I'll come out of this, but it nonetheless is coming with enormous stress, anxiety...and numerous procedures over a long time...and thousands of dollars.. Perhaps by writing this I can prevent this kind of catastrophe from happening to anyone else.

Outstanding dentist. Dr. Fondriest's work is pure perfection. His attention to detail is amazing,…read moreand his staff is friendly and thorough. I would highly recommend him for everything from simple cleanings to crowns. His work is excellent!

Who likes going to the dentist? Me!…read more I actually know multiple people from Lake Forest and Lake Bluff that go to Dr. Durrett. He was actually referred to me by my dentist in downtown Chicago because I had no idea where to start when I moved up here. The office is small and compact but that doesn't mean you feel like you're in some old practice. The group has the latest technology -- from digital "x-rays" that instantly pull up to Zoom, the blue-lighting teeth whitening process. His technicians are down to earth, chatty (in a good way) and work quickly. I have had the teeth whitening process and was pleased with the outcome. I've never had a cavity (it's true) so I can't speak to his oral surgeon skills. The office managers will work with your insurance company rather than making you submit the paperwork, which saves me from the hassle! He's an easy recommendation if you're looking for a dentist.

First I want to state that I rarely get sick. I cannot remember the last time I caught a…read morecold/virus. However, 24 hours after having my teeth cleaned/check-up I came down with a cold/virus. Headache/sore throat/congestion etc. I have now had the cold for five days and not happy about it. This is not the first time this has happened, my husband had caught a cold after a visit to Dr. Durrett a while ago. Now he is very careful to only schedule appointments the first hour of the day to minimize contamination. The problem must be that they are not cleaning their instruments enough or the ventilation isn't good. Not happy to have to go through this cold.
