The dentist SPENT no more than 15 MINUTES WITH ME. When I called I spoke with the lady for no more that 3 minutes at the most each of 2 times I called. I brought my 3 d Xrays, the Dentist is lying that I talk more that that when I called back to ask him to call me.. I am not lying and this reply is very sad that he cannot be honest. Doc, you will have to confess this to your priest .. Drove 40 miles round trip to get to the office. Waited about 20 minutes, The dentist that does the implants said he would do a 2 bridge crown and that would be sufficient. Was very nice. charming fellow...... Made appointment for an implant. Called back after I spoke with my dentist and was told a 2 section bridge was not a good idea. Called back his office 2 times, after after not returning my call after a week, I cancelled my apt. My feelings are when I was in the section that the dentisty is done, you kinda feel like your in a small car stall in a car dealer. It appears this place does work like a small factory. Not that it matters but the music was kind of strange. The charm of the doctor pleased me, however after reading all the reviews it seems like he ghosts people besides me. I am sure he will write some excuse. But I do not recommend to drive so far for what seems is not such a good deal as he inflates the price of other work for the implant to adverstise a lower fee f $500 for the work. Beware there are other more reliable places that offer the same value. just look for a while on google. Good luck. read more

Was seen today by Dr Ben and his assistant Maria I recently suffered from a fall and broke a crown between my front and side teeth. Although my original crown was done over 15 years ago Dr Ben and Maria were able to match size color etc and it looks so natural. Besides all that Dr Ben was able to craft this from composite scratch and it's so beautiful. No pain very patient explained what was happening as I was in the chair cannot say enough great things about my experiences here ! Thank you Dr Ben and Maria! read more

My pain is all gone, I highly recommend this place, Dr. Guerra knows what he's doing and is very knowledgeable your in great hands. Thank you once again for my extraction no more pain. I will be returning:) read more

Don't let the name fool you they do much more than dental implants. They actually are in the process of changing their name to simply dental implants. After spending well over $2,000 a couple of years ago for just one implant, I decided to do some research because I couldn't afford it. I found doctor Rich online and I have been very satisfied with his pricing and service. For a complete implant, abutment, crown, the total is $2075. He is very thorough but not much of a conversationalist so make sure you ask questions. I have been to see dr. Rich for two additional implants that cost me the same amount as I would have paid for just one somewhere else. Dr. Rich is the only one there that does the implants, so if you need any other services you will see another dentist there. I have seen doctor Matt who is very nice and personable. Consultations are free, check the prices, for a teeth cleaning without insurance it's $90 Which is less than what my previous dentist was charging me. read more

Simply Dental Implants - Front office - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

It is very hard to find certain services that meet our needs, physically, emotionally and financially. Auto mechanics, Doctors and Denists. I have to say that this Denist is by far a God send! My son had a implant put in 12 years ago His front tooth nevertheless! Well it fell out and left him looking like he scraped with Mike Tyson. I searched for a denist who might be able to help and Thank God I found NS Dental!! Dr. Rich was able to fix his implant!! He did not take advantage of my son and his predicament. Dr. Rich was able to reinsert his implanted tooth. He is a miracle worker filled with kindness and compassion. It is rare these days to come across a Dr. Who takes their time and effort to help you in such a way to where you leave better than when you came and can still have enough left in ur wallet to buy lunch.and be able to pay your rent! Very remarkably reasonable. 35 bucks!! Not a typo!! It was good that my son still had the tooth, and the post in his jaw bone...however Dr Rich truly came to the rescue, physically, financially and emotionally! My Son leaped out of the office...with a renewed joy and so did I!! He looked amazing and no longer like a boxer whom had a gr8 fight.the night before. Thank you also to the team of receptionists, they were very nice and helpful! I most definitely recommend NS Dental Implants. They are 100%! Wonderful experience for sure! read more

Love the staff - all the front desk girls are very sweet. I am getting implants so I have met with 2 of the dentist- I felt very comfortable with them both & they are very thorough. I have had my teeth pulled out and I am waiting on my first dental implant procedure in January. So far I am very happy with my experience and I would highly recommend them. Also, their prices can't be beat they have a video of pictures of their cats playing on a tv screen & that alone was awesome haha read more

Just got back from "teeth cleaning" appointment and again was extremely satisfied with the entire process and whole appointment. Maggie(Gosia) did such a detailed and delicate job on my teeth I was in shock how quick and professional it went. Scheduled my next cleaning appointment already. Ladies upfront as always very friendly and helpful, Thank you! read more

Dumbass liars who can't get their prices straight. Was quoted four different prices even up to an hour before my scheduled surgery. Scammers. read more

Wowza... For over 50 years I've hated my teeth so I felt it was time to have a awesome smile. My experience was outstanding.... First and foremost the front office personal gives a clue to what your up against behind that mysterious door. Whether you speak Spanish, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian or English you'll walk into Simply Dental waiting area and the staff will greet customers with beautiful smiles and a warm and courteous manner. The staff all are so happy to be working for Simply Dental. Now your name is called and your led to that familiar chair. Don't be nervous because the staff is very professional in explaining everything to you to put you at ease. Finally, the dentist enters and provides a consultation. After I made my decision and a couple appointments I walked out with a new attractive teeth. Dr. Rich Guerra was so caring; he worked with exceptionally precision and professionalism . He cared for me with precision like he had a family member in his chair. I don't have enough words to say how great Simply Dental is. How fortunate I was to have found this gem of an office. read more

Simply Dental Implants - Finally a beautiful smile - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had really good experiences with this Office in general. Krista is fantastic! Always helpful before, during and after any appointments. More importantly Dr. Guerra is also fantastic! I had many broken teeth issues, and he took care of all of that in the back of my mouth on the top. Unfortunately I had to have a bone graft done, and it did become infected. Dr. Guerra refunded my money without me even requesting that he do so. That typically does not happen in the world of dentistry. He recommended an oral surgeon, and I chickened out. None of which is the fault of Simply Dental. I also had several of THE BEST teeth cleanings of my life there, and spoke with Krista on the phone today, and we have discussed the follow up of how to proceed with an oral surgeon local to me that has availability. I can't wait to get my implants once the bone graft is finally done. I just want to thank the entire staff for all the help, and again, I look forward to starting the final work with Dr Guerra......I will keep you posted ;-) read more

I went to this office to get two bone grafts for future implants. The first oral surgery went OK. The second oral surgery was a failure for some reason. Dr. Rich said he used a different grafting material. My body rejected the second bone graft and I had to undergo a third oral surgery to remove it. Now I'm in Europe and I went to a dentist here who took xrays of my entire mouth. He showed me the xrays and says there isn't any evidence that any bone graft has ever been done. He said I'll have to start over and get the bone graft done in the place where Dr. Rich supposedly did a graft. The management of this office also appears to be lax and unorganized. The people are nice and friendly, but I would never go back to them. read more

Writing this on behalf of my dad because he's so happy with the work that Dr Richard and Dr Michal did on his teeth. They were easy to work with, the office staff was kind and helpful, and it was just an overall great experience at a reasonable cost. My dad got his smile back and he'd recommend these guys to anyone. Thank you! read more

Very good work; very trustworthy and professional; very ethical. Friendly office. Everything I was looking for. I had a dentist in the South Loop try to convince me I had serious dental problems and needed an implant, etc. I went here for a 2nd opinion. The dentist told me I don't need a implants and required a crown instead. Also, told me my teeth were in good shape, other than my #18 and #31 teeth. What a relief! I had the work done here. I will always check Yelp before opening my mouth and wallet to any dentist. They're great here! read more

I don't trus their billing. I was quoted a price for deep cleaning. When I asked how much would my insurance pay, they said, oh you have insurance, and suddenly the price went up significantly! read more

"Just finished my procedure there with excellent result!! Very modern, professional and kind personnel. I always received the great service at front desk (Margaret/Malgorzata) and my Dr Mike was phenomenal with explaining me step by step what he was doing. I am super confident and i will always recommend Dr Mike and helpful people who work there. And trust me I can be a little "Pain in the butt" sometimes :D THANK YOU ! read more

Dr. Rich is my new favorite dentist along with his staff. The cleaning here was phenomenal and very thorough. . Not only that, you can watch tv while being worked on with a screen right above you. Dr Rich is very fair too, as they will check with your insurance before doing any work. One of the best kept secrets here are the injections of Botox and Juvederm he offers. Lots of other places will water it down, and not be careful with the injections. His fillers are brand new, and you dont even have a mark left when you leave. He's very good at his craft which is why he has such a strong customer base. read more

I shopped around looking for affordable implants and I'm not even sure you could travel to Mexico and do better than this office, especially since the work is so superb. Dr. Guerra could charge more but he is fair and trying to help people. His care is outstanding. His staff are ALL top notch too. I have referred others. I would recommend anyone to this office. I had several crowns and three implants. My teeth look and feel great. I am so grateful I was able to get this work done at such a high level of competency for such a fair fee. I never thought I would say that going to the dentist would be a joy but it is a joy to be in this office. Thank you to all of you. Note: My photo here in Yelp was taken prior to my dental work. Though my teeth don't look horrible in my picture, they were not in good shape at all. Now my mouth is really healthy. read more

I wish I had never came to this office. Everything they did had to be redone at least once. The office looks like a fast food restaurant. Patients rooms are tiny, loud music is blaring everywhere. It's impossible to get relaxed for a procedure. I came in for two implants and left with one and no crowns. The first problem is that they do not evaluate your whole mouth. They will put an implant anywhere they can. I brought a copy of a cat scan with me, but they could not read it because they do not have the right equipment. Not having a cat scan i the office is a huge problem. They put in implants blindly. The one implant that I got was put in at a funny angle, as verified by two implant specialists. They advertise their low prices everywhere. It's great until you experience the quality of their work. I went there for over a year and ended up with nothing. One implant is crooked and the other can't be done because of the crooked one. I was in severe pain for over a year, and have nothing to show for it. On the positive side, the office help is very nice, they answer the phone quickly and will see you as many times as you want without extra charge. They guarantee the work and refund money if they can't fix a problem. Overall, I learned a couple of lessons. First, go to a periodontist for implants. They evaluate your whole mouth and gums, have the right equipment, and have advanced training necessary for implants. Run, do not walk!! When a dental office reminds you of a fast food place, and their ads look like something you see at used car dealerships, run and do not look back. read more

Went in for an estimate on implants And found the staff friendly and professional. Will consider implants In the future. read more

I went in and got an estimate for up to three implants, end up only getting two. The work itself is great, no complaints there. My problem is the financial stuff. Specifically, there were two payments I made in September 2020, one for $600 (paypal credit) and one for $500 (paypal but drawn from my checking account). Also, my last day in the office after the dental work was complete, I asked the person at the front desk if I owed anything. She said no and said I could go. I got a bill in the mail stating I still owed about $1500, which I get, someone made a mistake and I still owed money BUT when I looked over the bill and what payments I made, I noticed the $500 payment was not included (the $600 was). Once i noticed this, I called them to inform them of this payment, they denied they ever got such a payment. My Paypal AND my Checking account both have it being paid. They don't believe me so now I am forced to pay an extra $500. Please, pay extremely close attention what payments you make. read more

Strange interaction... I called and was told that it is impossible to talk with Dr. Rich. I was confused and asked why is it impossible because I need an implant and am shopping for an experienced implant expert. I am aware he has appointments, etc and said I am happy to call back at a convenient time or schedule a time. She said she can setup an in person appointment but he refuses to talk on the phone. ?!?! From reading the website, he seemed like a good person to speak with and ask a few questions(anasthesia/abutment type/etc) to see if all seems good and we can move forward to making an appointment. Being told he flat refuses to talk on the phone is, unfortunately, not going to work so I guess I have to keep searching. read more

I haven't had my crown point on the implant yet but so far my experience has been great. They charge 50-70% less than the other 3 dentists I checked with first. They are clean and efficient. Doctor is personable and seems to be extremely experienced. read more

This dental implant clinic is great simply because of the Doctor. Dr Richard Guerra who runs the clinic and actually the Heart and Soul of the place. ( don't know much about the rest of the team) This is a man of few words, (almost too shy to talk to or him giving you an explanation as to what he just did) Once he's done, he disappears as fast as he can without any,I mean any explanationYou have to chase him to find out, and pry it out of him as to what he did. Or, rely on one of the Assistant's who was assisting to do the talking, explaining as to what just took place while you were sedated and unable to ask pertinent questions. Cause you just don't know, period! He doesn't explain, just goes to work. He is an excellent dentist, a gentle person, very thoughtful, very thorough and caring. Just an all around wonderful person! Would love to have him as a friend, a son or a son-in-law:) However, if I have one issue (an important one) with him is that he lacks doctor patient communication skills. As for the rest of the front desk staff, we'll, not much to say. Overall they are not welcoming smiling faces. Little chaotic at times. Short and a rapt in their answers, sometimes on the rude side. In particular this one person who I believe is the manager of sorts, who never smiles, the most unpleasant face with some moon surface craters on her face constantly starring at her desktop. Absolute b-i/t-c-h. I'm telling you absolute poison dripping from her face! Avoid her at all cost if you can. Five stars for the Doctor but just one star to the front desk. read more

I've seen Dr. Rich several times over the last 7 years, most recently just this October/November 2019 when I cracked my crown. He got me in right away and made a very impressive "temporary" crown in office to help me look normal until the final crown came in a few weeks later. The process was painless, and because he has all of the latest technology in his office, the crown fit perfectly. Would highly recommend him. read more

I'm terrified of dentists. I'm 23 years old and hadn't seen one since I was about ten years old but had really bad problems with crowding and was in a ton of pain so I finally sucked it up and searched for somewhere to go. The first time I saw Dr. Guerra he pulled two of my teeth. The experience was a little nerve wracking but he was friendly and personable, which helped me feel relaxed. He definitely makes going to the dentist way less scary than I thought it had to be. Everything went great- the spaces healed beautifully and I planned on going back to him to get my wisdom teeth pulled. That's when the magic really happened: I walk in and the ladies at the front desk ask if I've eaten breakfast. I was under the impression you were not supposed to eat beforehand and hadn't had anything so they insisted I walk down the street to grab a bagel so I don't feel sick after getting them removed. I felt bad because going to grab food technically had me late for my appointment, but they were really sweet about it and told me not to worry at all; that it was more important for me to get something in my stomach. When I came back I told them I felt gross not having freshly brushed teeth for Dr. Guerra so they handed me a toothbrush & toothpaste and let me brush my teeth before my appointment too! I'm called in and Dr. Guerra is as personable and friendly as ever. His assistant was really nice as well and it's obvious that everyone in the office gets along with each other. For me, that makes a huge difference. I feel so comfortable when I'm there! Then, the ugly part: getting two wisdom teeth removed. Something I have dreaded for the past ten years. I've heard it's sooo painful and such an awful process. Dr. Guerra had both of my wisdom teeth out in less than three minutes! I was amazed. One of them took all of 20 seconds to pull and even his assistant was like "..you got it already?!". Totally amazed. We all started laughing. I couldn't believe how quick it was and of course I did not feel any pain whatsoever. Two days later, my mouth is only a little bit sore and I'm just about ready to eat solid foods again. I can't imagine going anywhere else to get dental work done. I'm going back to start Invisalign and can't wait. Thank you Dr. Guerra and staff for being so wonderful!! read more

They are amazing!! I highly recommend this place bc everyone has been excellent to deal w/, can't wait til tooth fix is done:) Thankyou very much. read more

Simply Dental Implants - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I live in America 6 years. I had multiple appts that were not good and this is the my first bad review I've ever written. My co-worker recommended me to this place as she has had cleaning there. She told me everything was good overall but she had to wait 30mins for apt, but that wasn't a big deal to me. I made sure that I was going to make this appt on time as I didn't want to be late for it. I made arrangements for my kids and woke them up earlier than usual and even took a day off of work. They texted multiple times prior to the appt and I confirmed every time that I was good to be there. I was there exactly at the time my appt was scheduled for which was 8am. When I arrived I had trouble finding the place so I called them for help. I told them I was here but couldn't find it and the girl that answered the phone told me it was ok then directed me on where to go and park. I told her thank you so much and that I was looking for parking, but there was allot of spaces taken due to the snow. I walked into the office at 8:18 and I apologized for me being late. They told me that they are sorry but my appt was given to someone else. Wow... Seriously?! I said how is that possible? when my appt was booked between 8am and 9am and I couldn't understand how someone else was given an appt during my time especially since I called and told them the situation. They told me that I'm a new patient so there was no guarantees. It made no sense since I called when I realized I was not going to be in the office at 8am sharp and they told me not to worry. Do not go to this place. The only reason I wasn't taken was because they gave my appt to a existing patient which makes no sense because I was in constant communication with them. If I was an existing patient none of this would have been an issue. read more

Excellent service, I've referred family and friends. I wish I could give five stars but there is a very inpatient Short hair lady at the front desk. We just wanted an explanation of benefit and she was rolling her eyes , huffing and puffing. Everybody else is absolutely wonderful read more

Wow! I am pleasantly amazed by the level of care and professionalism here at Northside Dental Implants. I'm a new patient. My old dentist in Park Ridge was replaced by his daughter and that practice has really gone down. After having two cracked teeth in the past six months, and not being able to get straight answers on cost (despite their assurances about how much they care about long term patients) I went looking for a new dentist. I thank God I found Dr. Rich, Dr. Mollie and Dr. Michal. I was really concerned about coming to this practice - their prices were just so much less than what my "old" dentist was charging. Well, I have been totally impressed. I recommend this practice for all your dental needs - cleaning, crowns, implants, etc. And the music is pretty great also! read more

I waited 4 weeks for the crowns and lady from the offica called one day before appt to confirm that they have my crowns and called me again following day again 2 hours before the appointment and said I had to come for an impression. I started doing 2 implats to end up without crowns .Richard doesn't care for his customers. The first price he promises you is a lie, when you start working and when you are somwhere at the middle he will start adding an extra charge. $ 200 off as he says paying full will never happen because will say the discount is already included and the implants he puts on are very, very cheap and poor quality. almost nobudy use that type of implants. If you want to sleep peacefully run away from Richard and simpy dental implants. One more thing ALL THESE 1-star REVIEWS are correct All other are paid for .I would stay away from Dr. Richard The experience was simply the worst in my last 20 years of seeing doctors. The clinic is dirty, leaking & cracking from the ceiling and wall, never looking repaired or cleaned for years. Update You are liar from day one and i am real patient If you did not lied about price and discount why would I go with different dentist I do not know did u or u did not get anything from ada but i did file complaint And complaint with attorney-general Do not pay peoples to give u a 5 stars You need to earn it Question for you WHY ARE YOU PROVIDE FAKE IMPLANTS INFORMATION TO MY DENTIST I DO HAVE RECORD FROM THE LABORATORY AND FROM YOUR EMAIL read more

Dr. Rich and his team rock. Very attentive, high quality work and their prices are more than reasonable.

I was referred by a friend and now I am happy to do the same. read more

Absolutely amazing! Dr. Rich was able to get me for a same day emergency extraction. Friendly & compassionate! And the office is clean!

I went to Northside to get a cleaning and see if my bridge could ever be replaced by an implant. The staff was friendly and kind and the office was very clean and clearly quite new. I unfortunately learned that I needed a root canal in one of the teeth that was capped as part of my bridge. This is a difficult root canal to perform because of the danger of breaking the bridge and many other dental offices quoted me insanely high amounts. I returned to Dr. Guerra and he did a magnificient job on my root canal, bridge intact, and dealt with my crazy level of anxiety as well. It barely even hurt, shockingly. read more
