Prairie helped us get him a new retainer even though we forgot to keep his mouth mold. Ignore the bad reviews when they were mad for not getting an exact quote over the phone. They obviously don't understand how insurance and health care system works and how all the treatment options play into that. We would recommend Prairie Orthodontics.

There comes a day that the dentist says that is time to make an appointment with the Orthodontist…read more After looking around we came across Orthodontic Specialists of Lake County, they had two locations one that was super close to home and one that was close to school. We had a great experience with are first consultation they took X-rays, lots of pictures, and then talked about the best approach for us. Now days they are trying to have kids in braces very young. When I was there I had lost all my baby teeth and had all my adult teeth in. They said that would save us a lot of time and money in the long run. We decided to do the metal braces as they moved the teeth the best and the colors are fun to pick. We also had expanders and spacers as well. They aways had appointments available and if you has any issues with your braces then they can get you in to fix the issue. I will say before your braces come off if you need to get your wisdom teeth taken out then do so. Also wear your retainer after like they say. My teeth are still strait my sisters are now back to being crooked. The wisdom teeth came though and push her teeth and caused her to now need braces again. This place is great and will meet your dental needs and its a great atmosphere for tween/teens!

They called me…read more(caller ID linked me here so it was easy to match the number with the name) and immediately started talking about how I owed money to Affiliated Dental. Mind you, I've never heard of this company nor do I live in Gurnee. On top of that, I'm STILL shopping around for a new dentist after switching insurers so I haven't even gotten my regular teeth cleaning. At no point did the lady ask me for my name. I waited for her to finish this little speech and told her, "I've never even heard of you. Who are you calling for?" She said the person's name. I told her my name is not that name. THAT should have been the FIRST thing she said BEFORE she started talking about billing. If you are going to this dental office, make sure they don't tell all of your business. There was no apology. No admitting that she should've asked for my name. All around terribly irresponsible call.

We have been coming to this office for routine cleanings and X-rays, and those visits have always…read moregone okay. The front office staff and X-ray technicians have consistently been friendly and professional. Unfortunately, our experience during my daughter's procedure today was completely different. She was scheduled to have an abscessed tooth extracted and two cavities treated using nitrous oxide. As you can imagine, she was nervous. She does much better when procedures are explained to her, so she asked a simple question about the nitrous. The response she received was essentially, "It doesn't matter. You don't need to worry about it." That immediately made both of us feel dismissed. As a parent, I was never told what to expect. No one explained how long the nitrous would take to work, what the process would be, or what was happening throughout the appointment. My daughter became increasingly upset and cried while they attempted to numb her with injections. Again, there was no reassurance or explanation directed to either of us. What surprised me even more was that the dentist administered the numbing injections and then left the room to see another patient without saying a word. There was no, "I'll be back in a few minutes while the anesthetic takes effect," or any explanation at all. We were simply left sitting there wondering what was happening. To add to the confusion, another staff member came into the room asking if we were there for a cavity and said I needed to sign paperwork that I had already completed at the front desk. It honestly felt like no one even knew why we were there or what procedure was being performed. At that point, I realized this was not the right environment for my daughter. I told them we would be seeking treatment elsewhere. My daughter had already received nitrous oxide and numbing injections, yet instead of addressing our concerns, the interaction became even more uncomfortable. Communication was difficult, and I left feeling that our questions and concerns were viewed as an inconvenience rather than something that deserved a thoughtful response. What disappointed me most was the complete lack of compassion. This was a child undergoing a fairly invasive dental procedure. Bedside manner matters. Taking a few moments to explain what is happening, reassure a frightened child, and communicate with the parent can make all the difference. To end the appointment, we were simply sent on our way. No one explained how long the nitrous or numbing would last, when my daughter could safely eat or drink, or what to expect afterward. After everything that had happened, we left feeling confused, dismissed, and upset. I understand that not every child cooperates perfectly during dental procedures, especially when they're frightened. That's exactly why patience, communication, and empathy are so important. Sadly, those were the things most lacking during our visit. While we had ok experiences for routine cleanings, I cannot recommend this office for pediatric dental procedures that require extra care, communication, and compassion.
