    Ora Dental South Loop's team is the best of the best in every service & department. I first found them for an implant procedure that other oral surgeons had assured me wasn't possible; Dr. Koos made it happen and my results were beautiful. I've seen Dr. Kralj for years since then, and despite moving away and changing jobs twice since becoming a patient, I always make the trip because they're worth it. Their techs are all wonderful -- they stay ahead of industry trends with the latest pain- and inconvenience-limiting tech, and just recently, went above and beyond to hand-paint a temporary crown for a better color match plus rushing my replacement appointment to finish up before an upcoming wedding. Their front desk team is unbeatable -- Ashley routinely puts in extra time and energy to go to bat for us to make sure our insurance pays out the absolute most. She even helped us resolve a billing issue with another service provider that we'd been referred out to for a root canal. The office is calm and lovely, the TVs in the exam rooms and the waiting room are usually playing HGTV -- I genuinely look forward to my visits here. I've had a LOT of dental work in my life so have many points of comparison. This office is beyond the best. I constantly recommend them to everyone I know and feel like my luck in finding this team has genuinely improved my life.

    I'm response to you, Dr. Koos, I love how you were able respond to my Yelp review but can't take the time to respond to my emails nor phone calls. And you were so quick to outline the details in this "consent form" I supposedly signed, but can't furnish it along with my medical record. There was NEVER a discussion that took place that this issue I wound up with, would've been the end result as you claim. You even had a discussion with my current orthodontist about how things could've resulted differently. But you probably don't recall that either? Hmm..? Instead of taking responsibility for your wrong doing, you keep pointing fingers at other reasons to excuse you from fault. This is completely unacceptable. It's been over a year AND I'M STILL WAITING TO RECEIVE MY MEDICAL RECORD. If that's not admitting guilt, I'm not sure what else it could be? Where do I even begin? I was referred to Dr Koos for a simple upper impacted canine extraction. The procedure should have been straight forward but unfortunately resulted in a significant defect that Dr Koos failed to acknowledge during the initial post treatment visit. Since the incident, I have spent over $7k in treatment and still have approx $26k left to go! When I woke up from the extraction, Dr Koos placed a mangled splint to support my teeth from falling out. This was the first of many issues to come. After weeks of healing I noticed a huge chunk of my gum/bone missing. He claimed this was "normal" and was healing perfect. I listened to my gut and sought out a periodontist along with a prosthodontist both of which stated something was wrong and they could not fix this without additional surgeries. I then revisited Dr Koos after I demanded a refund. (He agreed to refund me) because of the "undesirable" results. And of course at that point did he finally acknowledge the defect. This is only the beginning of the trouble I have gone through with this practice. I've still not received my refund. I also have requested help to pay (a small portion at that) for the damage Dr Koos has caused BUT he still has yet to respond. Not only that, he and his office has yet to release my medical record that I've requested on several occasions. I unfortunately have had to move forward with a lawyer but if this review can help one person-please please please do your research!!! This review might not last long on here and they pay to have negative reviews r

    Guess I'm not having my spot that I rescheduled at the end of April and no one told me was cancelled

    Wait times are crazy long. Good service otherwise, but if time is something you value, I'd recommend going elsewhere.

    I have an appointment in two weeks and know one has reached out to me about rescheduling. I'm supposed to finish my set for Invisalign's and now I have a chipped tooth. I keep calling but know one is answering so I guess my question is are they open?

    This is the "Don't text your Ex" of Yelp reviews…read more I'd been meaning to find another dentist for a while, but life got in the way. At my last cleaning here there was a new dentist I'd never seen before. I mentioned to him that my teeth have shifted on top and bottom as I've gotten older (perfectly straight on the top 2 years ago, but now noticeably crooked) and asked what I could do to stop that. Dr. Daftary had alway tried to push Invisalign on me, but my husband had a truly terrible experience here with Invisalign so I did NOT want to start down that path. I specifically mentioned the shifting/crowding on my bottom teeth was pushing my top teeth out of alignment. He suggested a night guard and wrote me an order for it. I was told I could pick it up in two weeks. That's when the nightmare began. Long story short, this office lied to me, ran me around, wouldn't return my calls, kept telling me "one more week, one more week" until the day I said I wanted to cancel the order for the nightguard, and threatened to do a chargeback with my credit card, when SUDDENLY I got a call late in the afternoon, the same day they told me it would be another week, saying they had it for me at the office. It took two months from the time of order for me to get the night guard. I went to pick it up and it was for my top teeth only. I admit I was not really familiar with what a nightguard is, I assumed it was like a retainer you only wear at night. Of course, the dentist did not explain anything to me at the time. That's very typical for this office. How does this help my issue with all of teeth shifting? I told Dr. Daftary I was really unhappy with the lack of communication and patient care and really suspicious about how they suddenly got the nightguard the day I said I wanted to cancel it, after telling me earlier that day it would be another week or so. She talked around in circles in her usual fashion so I just took it and left, telling her I was done with her practice. Now I've had this nightguard for less than a month. I discovered after using it for a few days that it's actually two layers, a soft inner layer and a harder outer layer. This type of nightguard is usually prescribed for people who grind their teeth at night, which I do not. It's also the most expensive type. Aha! After putting this thing in and out of my mouth for about three weeks now, the walls of the soft inner layer have folded down and stuck to each other, making scratchy lumps that scrape against my gums when I put it in. I can't wear it without the inner layer because it's too loose on my teeth. I contacted Art of Modern Dentistry about this through their website and of course, got no response. I know from past experience they don't return phone calls, so now what? I paid almost $800 for this thing (after insurance) and it's clearly a cheap piece of $hit. I'm sure that has something to do with how they magically got it in hand in mere hours after I waited for two months. Since I can't wear my useless nightguard anyway, I have since gone to a much better dentist in the area for an Invisalign consult with a retainer afterward and I will be staying with them for all of my future dentistry needs. It was 100% better at this new dentist in every way, right from my first visit. My only consolation for having wasted another several hundred dollars at Art of Modern Dentistry is that I won't ever have to go there again. AND YOU SHOULD NOT EITHER!

    I came here from out of town as an emergency client because I began suffering from dental infection…read moresymptoms on the plane. I was desperate, sick and scared. I made my appointment for 9:30 and didn't get into a chair until 10:45!!! I am so glad I had a 2nd appointment booked for that day because after x-rays, I was handed the most doomsday scenario from Dr. Dalfrey. Who went on and on about how my bridge had failed and I needed implants and all this costly dental work that in no lifetime I would be able to pay for. A realistic dentist would have said: "Look, you need a lot of work to resolve this but you are only in town 2 weeks. Let's put you on antibiotics and tide you over until you can see your own dentist." There is no way I would have been able to have implants and crowns in a 2-week turnaround with factoring in healing time and a course of antibiotics! They even tried to sit me in the financial office to sign me up for a new line of credit to begin their $11,000 treatment plan. I was so panicked and scared, I could barely speak! The dentist even mentioned to me how she fell in love with Chicago because NY people were pretentious. Look, entitled to your opinion but no part of my diagnosis needed to hear that. Fortunately my girlfriend pulled me out of that dangerous situation and we went to my 2nd opinion local clinic dentist who gave me an entirely different and less doomsday scenario. She said she couldn't do anything restorative in my time frame and any dentist who offered to attempt it was a quack. The dentist at Modern Arts was condescending, paid no attention to me being in near tears, told me my bridge days were over (I had only gotten it 7 months ago) and that the ONLY correct treatment plan was several extractions and implants. Avoid chain dentists and their fancy offices. Get a 2nd opinion. Looking at similar reviews for this place, I can see that my harrowing experience is not unique to this place. I understand dentists need to make money and for all I know (vulnerable, desperate, uninformed), Dr. D's prognosis was perfectly accurate. I cannot say. But very few people are walking around these days with even $1,000 of emergency funds, let alone $11,000! The scare tactics were unnecessary and what drove me away. Honesty and transparency is fine. Frightening people is not.

    I don't even know where to begin, this was truly a 10/10 experience…read more I came in for an emergency dental visit, and they took me in immediately, no hassle, no runaround. Even though the office was clearly busy, I never once felt rushed or like just another patient on a list. The entire team was incredibly attentive and genuinely focused on making sure I was comfortable and okay. I ended up needing a crown, and they handled everything right then and there, no temporary fix, no waiting weeks for a crown. The fact that they were able to complete the entire procedure on the spot was impressive on its own, but what stood out even more was the quality of the work and the care behind it. Jackie and Dr. Rob were exceptional. They walked me through everything, made sure I felt at ease, and checked in constantly throughout the process. For something that could have been stressful, they made it seamless. I'm beyond grateful for the level of professionalism, efficiency, and compassion I experienced. Couldn't recommend them more. Thank you again! Ps: even got an eye mask and hand mask to relax later!

    I had a mixed but ultimately negative experience with this provider and would not return…read more At my initial visit, there were some early concerns. The doctor repeatedly emphasized how busy he is, which came across as rushed and somewhat dismissive. Before proceeding with treatment (Botox for TMJ), I reached out via email and phone with specific questions, including a request for him to consult with my neurologist, which my neurologist recommended. I was told that the doctor deemed the consultation unnecessary and that he would address any questions at the time of the appointment. I was also told he was too busy to review my questions in advance. This made it difficult to feel fully informed or confident going into the procedure. I decided to pursue the procedure anyway. To his credit, during the procedure he did answer my questions and agreed to treat the requested area. However, at my two-week follow-up, I reported increased pain that had been impacting my ability to work and function. The doctor shared a story about another patient he described as someone who complains all the time. The story felt indirect but strongly implied that patient concerns like mine might be exaggerated. This made me feel uncomfortable and dismissed at a time when I was seeking support and clarity about worsening symptoms. Additionally, while in the waiting room, I observed another patient being questioned in a similarly dismissive tone when she asked for additional help post-treatment. This reinforced my concern about how patient concerns are handled in this practice. Overall, while the procedure itself was completed, the communication style, lack of responsiveness beforehand, and dismissive handling of post-procedure concerns made this a negative experience. I would encourage others to ask detailed questions in advance and consider whether this practice is a good fit for them. Long-term results of my treatment experience are yet to be determined, but I will not be returning due to the unprofessional manner in which the provider speaks about, and to, patients.
