Dr. DeGroot is a great surgeon and spends as much time as a patient needs to answer questions. The…read moresupport staff is also top-notch. He extracted both of my bottom front teeth and installed an implant w/cantilever to replace them. Because they were front teeth, there was a need to have a bone graft (as apparently the front teeth do not have as much bone and space to have a lot to attach the implant). No one wants to go thru such a thing, but if I had to do it again, I would again use Dr. Bradley DeGroot. Details: * he provided the options available to me * he explained things very well--and I typically have lots of questions--particularly in regard to options, but also for long-term viability of choices being compared * the office staff was very friendly and efficient--felt like a nice extension of Dr. DeGroot's capabilities * executed the surgery very well...because I had to have both bottom front teeth extracted/replaced, there was a need to do a bone graft to provide a better landing zone for the implant. As is apparently typical for front teeth, there was only room for one implant, so a cantilever was used for the other one. I had sought opinion of another periodontist/implant specialist for this procedure, and they seemed to know what they were doing, but I didn't get the same level of comfort that I did when I spoke with Dr. DeGroot. The first doctor spoke more like a surgeon, but Dr. DeGroot spoke more like a person solving your problems. He explained things very well and he is VERY thorough--my dentist (who is also quite good) indicated so, too. Dr. DeGroot's exam was more thorough than the first periodontist/implant specialist I sought. Not going to mention name of first doctor, because I'm sure the other doctor is fine and not looking to taint anyone here, but I just felt more comfortable with Dr. DeGroot. * he and his team were incredibly flexible and understanding. When I shared my extreme aversion to needles (and I needed three shots to numb the area for the bone graft and implants), I asked for LOTS of numbing agent before they put the needle injections into my gums - three needle shots were coming!!! - and once the assistant put enough numbing agent, and Dr. DeGroot apparently deftly placed the needle injections, I literally didn't feel ANYthing when he gave me those three injections! Yowza, that was nice! And once the injections were done (with novocaine, I suppose), I didn't feel anything during the surgery for extraction, bone grafting, and implantation. I was quite pleased--except for having lost two of my front teeth, of course. :-) * wore retainer to cover the two missing teeth for about 4 months, while the bone graft healed...no issues, but as I was counseled by his team, it was best to remove for eating. * had no issues with after-surgery care, as I simply followed the instructions on the rinse care and what I should/shouldn't eat. * saw Dr. DeGroot for temporary crown/cantilever, which is apparently standard for front teeth, due to their more aesthetically noticeable location--this procedure went well, too...it was nowhere near as difficult as the main extraction/implantation surgery, as the "worst of it" was done at this point. * I then saw my general dentist for performing the permanent crown/cantilever. * it has been 8 months since the implant was done, and no issues. I have had the permanent crown/cantilever for 2 months, and have had no issues. All seems great, with no limitations on my lifestyle! I can floss around the implant, and I even floss around under the cantilever, as there is a natural (very small) space under it--not noticeable to others, but it inherently is not going to go immediately contiguous to the gum line. I will consider a water-pick for flossing, but thus far have had no reason to consider it. Conclusion: Overall, a very good experience, considering the not-so-pleasant need for having two front teeth extracted and replaced. I would use Dr. DeGroot again, if I had any further need for periodontal issues, and I would recommend him to anyone who had the misfortune of having to have implants done.

You can scroll down to my original review - also one star because I can't give zero - but I wanted…read moreto update with new information. My new dentist, who replaced the crappy temporary crown from this bozo, told me that he has a reputation in the dental industry for purchasing old and no-longer-being-produced items for his implants for nothing. This means, it will be up to the dentist who installs the permanent crown to call around to all their distributors to try to find the proper parts -- which will then be very expensive because they're rare.

Fast forward all these years and when my regular dentist told me I needed some "specialty work" ( I was certain it was a synonym for a lot of drilling and gum cutting and pain) my heart sank. I made the appointment with the specialist and then counted the days to "Doomsday" with dread. Well, enter Periodontal Associates, and in particular, Dr. Peter Liaros. I arrived full of apprehension and nervous energy and within minutes he had me laughing at the antics between him and his assistant. He even took the tools out of my mouth at times so I could join into the repartee! The half an hour procedure was done with plenty of anesthesia and hand holding, and the after care was clearly explained to me. This was done without the pain and "torture" that I was expecting. And the dentist even gave me his home phone number and beeper in case I needed to reach him after hours. Who does that anymore? This office runs on time and is decorated with interesting pieces of art displayed throughout. Parking is simple as this is located in the Professional building at Oak Brook Mall so there is a parking garage nearby. There are also offices in the Loop and on the south side. Going to the dentist and especially a specialist is never going to go on my list of "Things I like to do". But with Dr. Peter Liaros and the Periodontal Associates, at least the dread subsides into a minor mummer. Thanks Peter!
