The folks at lifetime of smiles are so kind, intentional, and non-judgmental. Of course it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. I like that they ask you initially what barriers you might have and also your main goal for the visit. Dr. Lee is so kind, takes his time explaining everything, and makes sure you are completely comfortable. I thought pain free was a myth, but they really do such a great job. Thanks for everything!

Warning: Predatory Billing and Financial Negligence…read more I am leaving this review to warn others about the unprofessional and predatory billing practices at A Lifetime of Smiles. After completing several visits in February 2025, I paid a total of $1,669.00 in person at the time of service. Despite these large payments, the office never sent me a single paper bill or electronic statement. The first "notice" I received of any balance was a casual text message sent at 4:00 PM the day before a scheduled appointment in April 2025, claiming I owed a "heads up" amount of $946.00. When I immediately asked for a breakdown, they waited until the next morning to tell me $829.00 was a "prior balance" from insurance adjustments. They went completely silent for 11 months, only to send this unverified debt to a collections agency in March 2026. After doing the math myself using my Cigna EOBs and bank records, their numbers are mathematically impossible: Verified Over-Collection: On February 12, 2025, my insurance EOB stated my responsibility was only $465.00. However, the office charged me $712.00 at the window--an over-collection of $247.00 for a single visit. Missing Credits: According to my insurance, my total responsibility for all February visits was $1,742.60. Since I already paid $1,669.00, my actual balance should have been roughly $73.00, yet they are hounding me for $829.00. This office appears to either have a complete failure in their accounting department or is intentionally "balance billing" patients for amounts the insurance company has already adjusted. To jump straight to collections a year later without ever providing an itemized invoice is a predatory and unprofessional way to treat patients. I have filed a formal complaint with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) and the Attorney General. Avoid this practice unless you want to be blindsided by fraudulent "balances" a year after your treatment.

I chose Dr. Sundberg as my dentist on a recommendation and I really like her and the office. The…read moreOffice is clean, modern, and full of friendly people. As far as I know its all women that work there and they are all very friendly. The Doctor and all of the assistants were easy to talk to and explained thoroughly whenever i had a question. The Doctor was really good about numbing me up so that I never felt a thing. I didn't know that dentist visits could be completely painless. Another reason that I chose this office is because they accepted my dental insurance (Sage Technologies) but the receptionist was extremely helpful in explaining what I needed to pay and what my benefits were. The office always calls me a few days before my appointment just to remind me and visits are usually very quick due to not having to wait in line. If I show up on time, I'm in the chair within 10 minutes. Highly recommended. If your looking ... definitely give them a call.

But the made me feel comfortable. When the doctor did the shot to numb me i didn't feel anything. I mean no pain from the needle. It was great because that part hurts. But not this time. When the tooth got pulled that also went great. I was very happy with everything. I didn't have insurance so I paid out of pocket and they were great price.

I was afraid to go here because there were no reviews. Now I've gone and wanted to post a review…read more They are a preferred provider with my BCBS dental insurance. I got in for a check up right away, and had two teeth in serious shape. They scheduled me for a cleaning but before that came about, one of my bad teeth became very painful. They got me in right away for a root canal. It turned out that the tooth could not be saved, and it had to be pulled because it was fractured. Not what I would call a fun day, but Dr. Patel and Sherry, the hygienist and assistant, made me feel very comfortable, and the office staff was very accommodating and helpful. Unfortunately, I'll be seeing a lot of them!

Everything about this new patient visit was 5 stars. I was warmly greeted by Amber at the front…read moredesk. She had mailed me the new patient forms a couple weeks prior to my visit so that I could have them filled out in advance. I was checked in promptly. I was the only one in the waiting room and upon further observing I noticed how tidy and inviting the space was. Light tan flooring, lots of light gray and black decor. I thought it interesting they had Zum natural soap products on display in one area, so right away it smelled so fresh and clean. I was called into the back by the very pleasant hygienist Erin. It was a very comfortable and uplifting conversation throughout the visit. She addressed my concerns and discussed dental health history, seems very knowledgable. The practice does not accept my insurance but I was aware ahead of time. Since I was being mindful of extra costs outside of the exam, I had just the bite wing X-rays done. Erin did a detailed exam of my gums, a deep cleaning of my teeth and teeth polishing. She took her time to do the cleaning and I appreciate her thoroughness. Dr. Ghafoor then did a quick exam after the cleaning. Dr. Ghafoor is so bubbly and kind, a great chair side manner. All of the staff here are so professional. I have never been this thrilled and satisfied with a dental treatment. In fact, so impressed that I rushed back to write this Yelp review.

They know my whole family and when I called to get my records transferred Mary asked how my sisters were doing. The staff there is awesome (I was bummed when Ethel retired). The waiting room is nice with magazines, a few toys for kids, and a clean bathroom. I don't really know much about dentistry, but I didn't understand why people didn't like going to the dentist until I went to a different one in Chicago. Dr. Krabill was really good whenever I got a filling or teeth pulled - the novacaine shot really just felt like a pinch and then no other pain. When I got a filling in Chicago, I've never had that much pain at the dentist before - and when I told her she looked at me like "of course it's going to hurt" (this was NOT Krabill's, this was in Chicago, just to be clear.) In terms of pricing I honestly have no idea as my parents handled that. If you can get in to see him (I thought at one point he wasn't able to take any more patients) it is very highly recommended!
