I just cannot trust a provider to care for my child when the provider's office cannot be upfront about simple services and charges. Sadly, the office is dishonest, engaging in bait and switch. I called two weeks before to inquire about their dental services for children, and charges for those without dental insurance. The staff member, Christine, explained to me that they perform a routine comprehensive exam, for which they charge $100 for new patients and $75 for follow-ups. I asked to schedule this new patient exam for my child. At the end of the visit, Christine charged me $235, because she said $100 was for the oral comprehensive exam, plus $135 for two additional procedures (prophylaxis and fluoride), which I was not told beforehand were not part of the oral comprehensive exam, nor was I asked before they were performed whether I wanted to add those to services that I had scheduled. Dr Tierney stepped in after a few minutes and suggested I should know what is covered and not covered based on my adult dental visits. My big people dentist is transparent about exactly what a visit will cover and cost, so I haven't had this issue. I'm frankly shocked about this provider's lack of ethics regarding added procedures and transparency.

TL;DR: The new ownership kept the practice name and patient data, but entirely voided warranties on…read moreprevious dental work. They charge exorbitant, out-of-network prices and operate with a strict profit-first mentality. Save your money and go elsewhere. I am sharing my experience to warn both returning and prospective patients about the current business practices at Stephens Dentistry. Four years ago, I had a crown placed at this office for almost $2000. Recently, the crown prematurely cracked and failed. When I contacted the office to have it addressed, I was informed that because the practice is under "new ownership," any previous warranty is completely void. They strategically kept the practice's established name, reputation, and all patient records (down to using the same email address!) to maintain business continuity, but legally shielded themselves from any accountability or warranties on previous dental work. Their idea of a "goodwill gesture" was a mere 10% discount on a replacement crown, bringing the cost to over $1,800. This is absolutely exorbitant and roughly twice the price of what other dentists in the Evanston area charge for equivalent or better work. When you pay top dollar for dental work, you expect exceptional quality and accountability for their work, but Stephens Dentistry offers neither. To anticipate the practice's likely response to this review: in addition to bluntly stating they voided all past liabilities due to the ownership change, they will probably also claim they cannot honor the warranty because I haven't been back for regular cleanings at their specific practice over the last four years. I have maintained my dental hygiene, just not with them. Why? Because Stephens Dentistry is out-of-network for basically all insurances and outrageously expensive. The previous management once admitted to me their fees were intentionally set at the 85th percentile of local practices, and it is abundantly clear the new ownership operates with the exact same "cash cow" mindset. In a university town like Evanston, operating with such an unscrupulous, profit-first mentality is deeply disappointing. If you are a long-term patient, be aware that your past warranties mean absolutely nothing to the new owners. If you are a new patient, be prepared for highly inflated pricing. I have decided to take my business elsewhere and strongly advise others to do the same.

After that, I got a recommendation from a friend (whose father and father-in-law were both dentists) to check out Dr. Dave McWhinnie at Smiles of Skokie. I am so glad that I went here. The office staff and hygienists were all super friendly. After visiting way too many sketchy dentist offices in strip malls around Chicago, their office and facilities were a breath of fresh air. New equipment, bright exam rooms and nice decorations. Dr. Dave is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and really does talk you through each step of the exam and appointment. He wants to make sure you don't feel any pain at all. I had one dentist who attempted to numb me with anesthetic 3 different times, and I could still feel the drill. Dr. Dave did it once and I was good and numb in no time - didn't feel a thing. Finding a dentist you like and trust is incredibly difficult, I think. But I can assure you that if you go and check out Dr. Dave at Smiles of Skokie - your search will be over. Hope your experience is as good as mine was.

Fun fact: Dentistry is one of the most ancient medical procedures in the world, dating back to…read more7,000 B.C. Based on archaeological evidence, we know that humans who lived over 6,500 years ago had dental fillings. The ancient Sumerians used "magical incantations" & herbal remedies for toothaches, while the Aztecs used white ashes mixed with honey or rubbed their teeth with charcoal and salt to remove plaque and tartar! Why do I bring all this up in a Yelp review? Because dentistry isn't just a science; it's also an art. It's an ancient practice, and those who practice it exceptionally well are, in my opinion, nothing short of artists. Dental Matters is one of those rare practices. I had the great fortune of working with Dr. Laura Habeeb and her wonderful team. I came to Dental Matters after a highly disappointing experience at another dental office (across the street, actually!), where a filling had been done incorrectly and there were apparently problems with the planned placement of my crowns. Needless to say, I was feeling altogether discouraged & pretty hopeless. Switching to Dental Matters was an absolute game-changer. First, the administrative staff are incredibly kind, understanding, and knowledgeable. They really know their stuff! Sidra was especially amazing. Imran (dental assistant) was also wonderful, and Usman (dental assistant) in particular went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my crowns. Usman spent over half an hour helping me design my crowns on a 3D screen. When I wasn't satisfied with the color of my permanent crowns, he helped me make adjustments through their in-house lab. How cool is that? Never once did he complain or make me feel difficult for asking questions. He simply listened, took my concerns seriously, and worked with me until I was happy with the result. But the true standout was Dr. Laura Habeeb. Dr. Habeeb doesn't just give dentistry 100 percent. She gives 200 percent! She is a true dental-artist, in every sense of the word. Not only is Dr. Habeeb extraordinarily intelligent and knowledgeable about all things dental (and I mean everything), but she's also a deeply empathetic person. She listens carefully, takes your concerns seriously, and consistently goes the extra mile. Even the tiniest adjustments mattered to her because she wanted my teeth to both feel good and look beautiful. And that's what makes dentistry such a fascinating art, in my opinion. Teeth are both functional & aesthetic. They can cause us pain, but they're also part of how we smile, speak, and present ourselves to the world. A truly phenomenal dentist understands both sides of that equation. If you're getting crowns or fillings done, or honestly any dental work done at all, I couldn't recommend Dr. Habeeb more highly. I'm so grateful I found Dr. Habeeb and her team. Dental Matters is truly a hidden gem, and I couldn't be happier with my experience!
