    When I brought my child in for a routine teeth cleaning, they only had her in the back for 6…read moreminutes. I can't imagine you can do a thorough cleaning in that amount of time. Also, I asked for upfront pricing as I do not have dental insurance, and the price was different at the end of the visit from what was quoted. I decided to give them another try, but the cleaning was just as quick, plus they gave me a really hard time about only wanting a cleaning with a hygienist and not getting x-rays or an exam by a dentist.

    We use to love this practice because they worked with me when my now 10 year old was two, and had a…read morebunch of cavities. He has soft teeth and is very prone to them. He's also an asthma kid whose inhalers were creating more issues. At that time, they set up multiple appointments and did fillings without insisting on sedation or even gas. Fast forward to now and all has changed. We started having problems after starting ortho last fall. No issues with Dr. Wally as of yet. He seems fine, but we asked to skip x-rays during one cleaning visit because my son had a ton of them just a few months before for ortho. They refused to see him and we had to reschedule his cleaning. When they convinced us to come back and agree to X-rays because we couldn't move forward with ortho until we did, they found a couple of small cavities that were visible. We agreed to get them fixed, and set up an appointment, but they automatically added nitrous to the plan. I let them know I wasn't comfortable with the gas and that it seems overkill for a 10 year old that sits just fine for procedures. The doctor wouldn't make any promises on not requiring sedation (IV or gas). So, now we are taking my son to my dentist who will no doubt fill those tiny cavities with a bit of numbing. I am not sure why they insist on the excessive treatment that creates greater risk other than profits and possibly making the job extra easy on them, but it is absurd. They even admitted that other countries don't do as many x-rays when I brought it up. The drugs too are no joke, and at least the nitrous was not covered by insurance. I wish we hadn't started ortho here and they are quick to remind us that there are no refunds. In general another example of all that is wrong and broken in our healthcare system.

    I went here once and was completely unimpressed and underwhelmed…read more Dr. Morris' manner as a doctor is really kind of lousy. I explained the problem I had with my teeth, that my jaw hurts when I move it and he said "Maybe you shouldn't move your jaw so much then," and laughed and laughed as if it was supposed to be funny. I wasn't laughing, fool. Not to mention the extremely inconvenient location in Buffalo Grove. It's one of those doctors' offices completely hidden from view; I drove past at least four times before I realized I was supposed to make the turn because there is literally no sign indicating his office or anything like that which is visible from the road. I hope they resolved that issue by now. For someone who does not nor ever will live in Buffalo Grove, where God left his underpants and didn't go back to pick them up because Buffalo Grove was too much of a pain in the ass to get to, service has to really blow my doors down for me to make a trip out there. Especially for something as miserable as going to the dentist. Oh Dr. Morris. If only you were a little nicer and a lot less pleased with yourself you would have had a regular patient in me. Maybe in your next life you should be a comedian.

    Before I moved to the area, another dentist (in a different state) told me I had eight cavities and…read moreneeded extensive work done. One visit to this place proved otherwise. I've been going there for about 13 years now, and somehow those eight "cavities" have never appeared in their exams. Dr. Shiffman is the best dentist I've ever had. He replaced a couple of old amalgam fillings for me, and he did exemplary work on a crown I needed in an emergency when a corner of one of my molars broke off. He did great work on the fillings I needed due to some gum recession. He's so personable and wonderful that even though 12 years ago I moved to a different suburb that's 30 minutes away, I still come all the way back to Buffalo Grove for dentistry. I've had the same dental hygienist, Lana, the whole time I've been a patient there. She is marvelous. Honestly, Lana is a big factor in my decision to continue to drive all the way to Buffalo Grove twice a year to get my teeth cleaned. I feel like I'm visiting an old friend when I see her. The entire staff there is very friendly and helpful, and I haven't had a bad experience there even one time in 13 years. Plus, I am 42 years old, and I get compliments from people on my *teeth.* If that's not a ringing endorsement, I don't know what is! I may have bags under my eyes and crow's feet, but my teeth look fantastic!! :)

From the moment I walk into the office, I am always greeted by friendly and professional staff; Silva at the front desk is amazing! The office itself is modern, clean, and equipped with the latest technology, which only adds to the overall positive experience. Dr. James is truly an outstanding dentist. His expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care set him apart. With my Invisalign consultation, he took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the procedure and answered every single one of my questions, ensuring I felt confident and informed. I have already started to see amazing results in my smile and I could not be happier with his work. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate dentist, I highly recommend Dr. James and his team at Long Grove Dental. They truly provide top-notch dental care that exceeds all expectations! I now live an hour and a half away from their office, but it is an absolute no-brainer for me to continue my dental care here. They are just that good!
