My hygienist, Stephanie, did a great job of cleaning my teeth today. Dr. Pedersen was very thorough in her evaluation of my teeth. They are accommodating and on time with their appts. Would definitely recommend Impressive Smiles. read more

I went to Impressive Smiles to get a new retainer made. The office is decorated very nicely and is very welcoming to a first time patient. I am told that coffee, drinks, and snacks are available even though no one showed me where they were. My mouth was scanned with their computer software and my retainer was made in their office. When it was ready I scheduled an appointment and the dentist made sure that it fit properly. I highly recommend Impressive Smiles! read more

Well first I will start with my hygienist Sarah, she's wonderful. She answers all of my questions and is very thorough.Then I will mention Samantha the Dental Assistant to Dr. Pederson. They're all extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like my "friends" were working on my teeth! When I need to get in for a problem they get me in every time. They explained the days that they would be there and wouldn't, because a lot of the work I had done was around the holidays. That made me feel at ease. I have always hated the dentist but they make me feel so comfortable & with the kindness & patience I experienced at Impressive Smiles, I don't mind going to the dentist now! They have given me my self-confidence back! read more

Our family has gone to Impressive Smiles for years. There's a reason why we keep going. The office has expanded (a testament to good service) but it has always been modern, clean and fresh. The staff, from reception desk, dental assistants and hygienists, and of course the dentists, are all friendly and personable but importantly, knowledgeable. They also use state of the art equipment. read more

Don't let the warm welcoming fool you...these guys don't know what they're doing and messed my smile up for life, let alone the pain I dealt with after my experience for months! I loved going to the dentist until this place and like the story goes...now have a hard time going back anywhere. As a young teenager, I wore braces for just under two years to pull my two top incisor teeth down. I had nearly a perfect smile until I walked into Impressive Smiles. In my late 20's, I went in due to 1 painful wisdom tooth which needed to be pulled. This place convinced me to do all 4 at once for absolutely no reason, except to not have to deal with this pain again. Naively, I let them pull all my wisdom teeth out. Since then, all the space created has shifted my whole mouth and my two incisor teeth have raised completely (leaving two big holes in my mouth, which I had fixed with braces years ago. There was no reason to pull all my wisdom teeth out except for them to make more money! I feel like any one of them should have known this space would be created in my mouth to shift my teeth. When I walked out that day, numb and full of gauze...the receptionist insisted I make these extra curricular appointments for unrelated cosmetic things, right then and there (and here I am in pain and can't talk). For months after my appointment I had the most excruciating pain which I went in multiple times for, each being treated for air pockets, only to find out there was an extra piece of my tooth stuck in the gum that needed out. Like I said, this place has ruined my beautiful smile and my trust in dentists. This place is one of my biggest life regrets. I remember the day like yesterday, think about it when I wake up sometime...it haunts me. Not even going to lie, I periodically get real angry with this place over the years and am just forced to brush it off, and live happily...but am reminded of them every-time I open my mouth. They didn't care about me, the cared only about the 4 teeth vs 1 and the extra curricular work they were pushing on me. And yes, just as stated in another review...I was awake for the entire 4 teeth being pulled..that part was actually pretty cool ...I'm curious why that person pulled all 4 out though!? Don't pull any teeth out unnecessary!? You're ruining people's smiles!!! I wish I could take this day back. I remember my Dad saving all his pennies to get us braces as kids to give us the best smile, just as a remember saving all my pennies for this place to take it all away. Please note in response to the business: I lived in Illinois and had my wisdom teeth unnecessarily pulled from this location. I think about you every time I smile, and so yes, I'm in California now...still resenting what you've done to my smile and posting about it. I've attached evidence of my existence. read more

New patient here. They just did my Invisalign treatment (theirs is a different brand) but the results were great. They are responsive and well organized and very attentive. Highly recommendedz read more

Erin is the best . Very kind and gets the job done. You have to go to Impressive Smiles.

The entire team is composed of amazing, caring people who are also very talented! They take the time necessary to ask questions, listen to you and explain what they're doing. read more

Dr. Baldare's dentistry is a diamond in the rough. I am so fortunate to have him as my dentist. he is the perfect blend of art and practicality. He has taken away constant pain from an ill-fitting crown from a former dentist, filled in spaces of receding gums to make my front teeth look perfectly matched and more youthful. And speaking of the crown, Dr. Baldare is a magician manufacturing it on the spot, no sending impressions to a lab, no temporaries. Simply amazing and the artistry is incredible. read more

Prompt and courteous. Explain what happening as procedure done. Workable finance arrangements

I had a root canal and crowns done...literally no complaints. Everything went very well! Very pleasant staff and nice waiting room area.

Beautiful, clean office with exceptional service and care. Every staff member was a joy to work with, and I'm so pleased with my results. I finally feel like I found the right place! read more

Great dentist that does top notch work with a very modern office and great staff. There's lots of things about this business which make it a great choice. The parking around the building is easy to access and plentiful, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, they have a SmilesPlus program which provides discounted (20%) and free services for a set yearly fee for those without insurance, they send out text and e-mail appointment reminders, their website is up to date, each patient room has TVs and computers to help explain your situation, and many other nice perks. Not only is the business run well but the work done is great as well. Teeth cleanings are painless and they take extra care to make sure things are not splashing out of your mouth. X-rays are quick and easy with their modern equipment (and you can even see them on the computer screen right after). Root canals and fillings are surprisingly painless. They even take the extra step to use a rubber dam to isolate the tooth, vaseline to make sure your lips don't dry out, periodic suction from an assistant for the inside of your mouth, goggles to prevent anything from getting into your eyes, and other things to make each procedure as painless and comfortable as possible. I used to think dental work was painful and avoided going to the dentist but Dr. Barsoum has completely changed my perception of dental work. I'm now well informed about every procedure and know that my dentist is committed to making everything as pain free as possible. The website has a FAQ and blog that answers nearly every question one may have. Once again, the most surprising thing was that the root canal that i had performed was completely painless. read more

Best dental experience ever! Immaculate, state of the art offices, professional and friendly staff, 5 star care. My broken tooth was replaced the same day I called and looks amazing. Dr Stylski and the whole team there were top notch and put me at ease. I cannot recommend Impressive Smiles highly enough. read more

Overall: I had a negative experience at this location, and I would not recommend this to my friends or loved one. Positives -staff where professional and nice -the building looked very clean and professional -there is a beverage section (tea/coffee) in the waiting room. I personally didn't used this, so I cannot attest to it -everybody wore masks appropriately -the hygienist as incredibly nice and re-assuring. She may small talk to fill in the gap while waiting for the dentist. -costs are itemized with accurate prices. I do enjoy this for transparency Negatives -hygienist schedules are busy, and dental cleanings are booked months in advance -they try to sell sonicare toothbrush for greater $130. I am not sure about which model, but you can certainly find sonicare models that are significantly lower Now, with all this said, why would I give this place 2 stars and not recommend? The initial visit lasted 1.5 hours with a full set of X-rays and 3 d modeling. During this 1.5 hrs, there were no procedures or dental cleaning done. I came in for a dental emergency/urgency. I am not interested in 3D models of my teeth for teeth straightening. No procedures were done. No dental cleaning was done. Once the teeth were evaluated and the problem was found, I was proposed several options by the dentist. I do appreciate the fact that there were different options made available to me. I, however, was told that the most cost effective and (what seemed to me) reasonable option will just fail in a short time. I was then recommended to undergo the most costly procedure. Needless to say, I was concerned about my dental health. I made plans to enact the treatment plan outlined to me. HOWEVER, they required a dental cleaning first, before any procedure was done. I was in pain! As I mentioned before, it would take several months to set up a dental cleaning appointment. I simply cannot wait several months to do a cleaning, to be eligible for a procedure. It is not fair to be several months in pain. Also, this assumes that a patient can afford both the cleaning and the procedure. What if I could only afford 1? I understand that the plan was probably the best in an ideal situation. But please be flexible, as not everybody is in an ideal situation I actually decided to go to a competitor that was out of network, as they were offering a consultation. I got my dental emergency/urgency fixed the same day. They went back the following day for cleaning (didn't require a several month wait, and didn't make me do the cleaning before fixing the pain, which I really appreciated. The cost ended up being the same. They never recommended the most expensive option. Rather, that executed the most cost efficient action without saying it will fail. Anyways, I think this practice might be the right dentistry for some people. However, I had a gosh awful experience and was needlessly stressed out my the whole ordeal. I certainly hope other patients don't experience the same thing. I cannot vouch for how other patients are treated, and I can only go by my own experiences. Based on my experiences, I would never recommend this clinic. read more

The dentist is rude! Don't even bother with this office. Service stated on website don't exist! He attacks doe Huge dollars and If you ask questions, he becomes rude and cynical. Update: the dentist called my husband and I repeatedly harassing us after I posted he review. Update: the person who responded to my review is all a liar. I never stormed nor did I slam doors as you need to turn a handle. I'm a nurse and I work in the medical field with difficult surgeons and patients. Your dentist is rude. That's all I need to say! Update: Below this comment Mena responded as if my husband and I were drug seeking patients! My husband is an engineer and I'm a nurse. So her comment is a dead faced LIE! All we wanted was dental care and received rude treatment and no solutions in regards to dental care. At no time did we seek medication. Our new dentist is the same dentist for the Chicago Blackhawks! We now go to and are extremely happy with University Associates In Dentistry! Now that's a real dentist!! read more

Everyone at Impressive Smiles is very friendly and pleasure to deal with. However, Erin is a standout. She is amazing. She does a great job making sure I am always comfortable. She helped make my future appointments which is important because she does get booked up. She has a great personality. I am pretty sure she is smiling beneath her mask. read more

The services I received were extremely professional and highly reassuring so that I felt confident I was receiving the best possible care. I was completely impressed with the state of the art technology available. The staff provided me the personal attention and graciousness to make my procedure comfortable. Dr. Stylski is a master of her trade. Thank you all so much! read more

Dr. Barsoum and his team are amazing! After being cared for by Erin in Arizona for over 10 years, I was excited to see she was now with Impressive Smiles and I could schedule my business travel around my cleanings with her. Not only is she awesome at what she does, but Impressive Smiles offers technologically advanced dentistry with same-day crowns. They are the hidden gem of Arlington Heights. read more

My wife and I's journey at Impressive Smiles started out with 5 star experience. The front of house staff, as well as hygienists, we're very kind and professional. Teeth cleaning and check ups went well. All was fine, until they informed my wife she needs to get her wisdom teeth out. They insisted to have it done at their office as they have a travelling surgeon that comes around for the surgery. Yesterday, I dropped my wife off and here's how her experience went... Everything started off fine. The front of house was very kind, but after she got called back to surgery, it ended up being one of the most miserable experiences she's ever had. Completely awake and aware the whole time, they give her 15+ shots in her gums (which had tears running down her cheeks) then proceeded to operate. (Why not offer laughing gas at this point seeing she's distressed?) The two top ones came out mostly okay, but the bottom two were impacted. So they busted out a drill and had to drill the teeth to break them apart and pull them out piece by piece, ALL WHILE SHE WAS AWAKE AND AWARE. At one point, they hit a nerve and my wife again began to cry, so they gave her more shots and went to drilling again. She walked out pissed off and traumatized. It is absolutely insane to preform wisdom teeth surgery the way Impressive Smiles recommended it. My wife remembers ever gory detail of her experience. Why was laughing gas never given to take away all the stress and memories?! It was a terrible experience. Update: We got a call about the review. While it does seem like there was a miscommunication, they apologized for what happened. After apologizing, he then asked "Why didn't you ever ask for laughing gas?", which kind of felt like he was putting the blame on my wife for not asking to be under laughing gas, when she did. When my wife made the appointment weeks prior the the surgery, she expressed to them that she has a very low pain tolerance and was nervous for the operation and wanted laughing gas and they assured her they would have it and not to worry. Come the day of the appointment, my wife assumed the laughing gas would come at some point, but it never did. She was never offered. It just a bad experience and will always be a bad memory. The front of house staff and hygienists are the only reason it's 3 stars and not 1. read more

No better place to be to get your mouth right, I've gotta say the quality of work they do here is tremendous. Really hadn't kept up with my teeth until I met these people 2 crowns done, they know you by name when you come in and make you feel like you are family and appreciated. Moving out of state, but no one will ever work on my teeth but Impressive Smiles so I'll be back. read more

This place is top notch. Switched to this dental office this year and they are second to none. The appointment staff is very organized and follow up very well. The staff, especially the hygienists are the best of the best. I dread going to the dentist in General but they really make it a breeze! The office is always clean, the staff very courteous, and the doctor seems to be running a very tight operation! With all of these things mentioned the pricing seems to be very fair and reasonable. I highly recommend. read more

Great attitudes all around, good followup before and after appointments. Was able to see the periodontist in the same office only a few weeks later. I recommend to all of my friends. And I have been to a lot of dentists over the years. read more

I always enjoy visiting Dr. Barsoum. Not only do I get a thorough assessment of what's going on with my teeth, but I also learn so much about the daily dynamics of my eating and chewing habits. He uses the latest technology to show you his process which is a refreshing explanation of details. Because of this, he is incredibly skilled at assessment and addressing the challenges of my teeth. I wouldn't recommend another dentist to anyone. It's like finding a therapist. Once you find a good one, it makes no sense to start all over again with someone who doesn't know you and who may only serve your needs in part. I know that with Dr. Barsoum, all of my needs will be met and then some! read more

I'm so grateful for all the stuff working here. They are just amazing, work so fast and careful, they are so organized with apoiment, very professional. read more
