Dr. Jeff and his team have been absolutely wonderful since we started receiving our dental care at Uptown Dentistry. They've been accommodating when urgent dental services have been required and have been flexible when scheduling conflicts arise. As a healthcare professional myself, I appreciate the top-notch service Dr. Jeff and Uptown Dentistry provide. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Priscilla's for several years now, and she is truly exceptional -- caring, thorough, and always makes me feel completely at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched, and it's clear she genuinely cares about her patients' comfort and long-term dental health. Her husband, Dr. Jeff, has been seeing my kids (now 9 and 11) for about five years, and they actually look forward to their visits! He has such a natural way with children -- patient, gentle, and great at explaining things in a way they understand. It's wonderful to have a dental team that our whole family trusts and enjoys visiting. We're very fortunate to have found Dr. Priscilla and Dr. Jeff -- they've set the bar incredibly high for what great dental care should be. Highly recommend! read more

Friendly and professional staff and service. Makes going to the dentist, dare I say, a pleasure. Highly recommend.

I've been a patient at Uptown Dentistry for many years. The office is modern, spotless, and extremely efficient -- I'm usually seen right on time. The team is friendly, professional, and truly personalized in their approach. You can tell their care is thoughtful and well-structured. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Ruttencutter and Uptown Dentistry are wonderful. I have been going to Dr. Ruttencutter for over 10 years and have been very happy. The office is modern and the staff are great. I definitely recommend Uptown Dentistry! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about the doctors and staff at Uptown Dentistry! My family and I have been patients here for years and they have always gone above and beyond to reach our individual needs. They have made us feel appreciated and valued as patients through either seeing us urgently in addition to our preventive appointments, explaining insurance coverages, providing excellent patient care to my young children, I could go on. Uptown Dentistry has set the standard extremely high and I recommend them to anyone in search of quality dental care that is comprehensive, thorough and patient-centered. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Jeff and team for some time now, and I can confidently say they're one of the best in the field. Not only is Uptown Dentistry incredibly innovative--always up-to-date with the latest techniques and technology--but they also bring a personal touch to every appointment. They take the time to explain procedures clearly, answer questions with patience, and genuinely care about their patients' comfort and well-being. What stands out most is their trustworthiness. I never feel rushed or upsold; instead, I feel heard and respected. It's rare to find a dentist who combines clinical excellence with such kindness and integrity. Highly recommend! 5 STARS!! read more

Dr. Jeff Ruttencutter is the best. Everyone in the office is really nice and respectful. The place is super clean and up to date, and parking is easy, which I totally appreciate. Highly recommend! read more

I agree with a previous review. My family started seeing them when they first opened their doors. We loved it and recommended so many people to them. Now that they have established their business, the service and care have really declined. I would try to schedule with a particular dentist and would sometimes not get that person. My son, who has cancer, and they were aware of that, would get switched. I would have to explain his situation and sometimes it would never be addressed. Scheduling with the same dentist was a way to avoid all this and he would hopefully get better care because of it. This was not the case. I just think they have gotten too big for their britches. The flashy office and the pretty packaged toothpaste and toothbrush is not enough. read more

Uptown Dentistry is the best!! I have always received gentle dentistry in an impeccably clean environment. Never once waited past my scheduled time in the past 10+ years I have been going there. The staff, warm, welcoming and accommodating. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Jeff and the team at Uptown Dentistry. I've been a loyal patient for almost 15 years and never want to go anywhere else. The experience is clean, friendly, professional, and thorough. More importantly, they treat you like they care and are always available in urgent situations. read more

wishing others better luck while dealing with the front staff. first time misinformed me that they did not accept my bluecross/blueshield. second time (about a week ago) would not bother with me. had to do my own legwork,two dentists there except bluecross/blueshield according to them all dentists accept physicans mutual (which i just appled for). asked all three at the front desk to have dr. jeff call me(he did not,they probably did not tell him to do so). we are former patients in good standing with both dr.jeff and his wife or at least i thought we were,not to be shown such disrespect. thank you read more

This review is long overdue. It's been almost 3 months since I finished a long list of treatments at this office. Including working on dental issues while wearing braces, and replacing my front teeth with crowns! Words cannot describe how appreciative I am of the work Dr. Valencia and the whole team have done (Dr. Valencia is a true professional doing her magic, Matt making visits fun and easy going, Nycole always keeping me organized). They are not just great professionals, but also very pleasant people who I look forward to seeing. They didn't just fix my smile, they made my life better. The before and after pictures tell it all. They gave me a healthy smile, but what I didn't know is that it would bring more confidence and self-esteem and would improve my life in so many ways. I am bringing my whole family here now! I would highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

See all

Myself and my entire family have been patients at this practice for over 3 years now. We all see Dr Jeff and couldn't be happier with the service provided. It's effective, professional and friendly Last year I had part of a cavity fall out, they saw me the next day and then scheduled my procedure for later that day so I didn't have to wait and be in pain. Highly recommend read more

Uptown Dentistry is a terrific practice. The office itself has high-end equipment and amenities while also being located in upscale downtown Park Ridge. They have personal TVs in every chair as well as X-Ray machines in every room (I've never had to move rooms when I was due for x-rays). Their safety protocol is also excellent. They have limited appointments that encourages social distancing and the place is spotless. They also do temperature checks, require masks (until you're in your your chair), and require every patient to wash their hands before sitting. Parking is very convenient, there's always parking just outside in the half circle lot or you can park underground if you're particular about your car. The garage below will easily accommodate an SUVs height and there are very clean stairways that lead right outside the office. There are multiple dentists at this office and I see Dr. Jeff Ruttencutter and I can confidently say he's been the best dentist I've ever had. He's very detailed and thorough in his work and he's also very thoughtful in his interactions with his patients. I would highly recommend him. I can also add that Uptown Dentistry is great for families. My wife and toddler see Dr. Marta Demski and she is terrific. She is so patient with my son and always has such a warm attitude with the both of them. Furthermore, the staff here is wonderful. They are always so accommodating if you're preferential during treatment (tv channels, toothpaste flavors, rescheduling appointments) and the entire practice as a whole makes going to the dentist so much better. read more

Sharing my email to the practice entitled "Random email of appreciation" ****************************************** Hi! I'm a previous patient of the clinic, but we moved out to San Diego a couple years ago. I had a crown placed today and although my current dentist is fine and I have no complaints about him, the whole time I was there, I was thinking how all of my experiences at Uptown were exceedingly exceptional. Even though I needed some unpleasant dental work, I never had a horrible experience with Uptown Dentistry. Just wanted to pass along that, even after a couple of years, your service is appreciated and not forgotten. Best wishes and happy holidays! read more

Uptown is prompt friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this dentist office. I no appreciate that they know me and remember personal facts.. The only downside is they are so full you have to plan way in advance. Not a bad problem to have! read more

By far and away the best Dentist office I have ever been to. Everyone there is pleasant and helpful. The work is done quickly, efficiently and painlessly. I would recommend Jeff Ruttencutter and his practice to anyone. Great experience, makes going to the Dentist easy. read more

They are always willing to get our family an appointment promptly when there is a need. After multiple crowns and and fillings, I've had nothing but a great (and quick) experience with Dr. Ruttencutter and the staff. We are also very impressed with the facility and quality of equipment used. Highly recommend. read more

I do not write a review often, but I find myself compelled to do so now. When I originally started going to Uptown, I loved my experience. Now that some of the original dentists have left, they are horrible. I have consistently scheduled appointments at the end of each cleaning so they were on the books. They would then call and cancel my appointments due to some issue or other. However, they were then not able to reschedule me until months out. I took it upon myself to go to a new dentist for my last cleaning so I would not be too far behind and called to scheduled my next appointment with Uptown for December 2023. They cannot see me until the end of Jan 2024. If you cannot take care of your existing clients, why not turn away new clients? Not a great way to do business. read more

I moved and needed a new dentist and had developed a tooth infection. A relative recommended them. Receptionist: Great, yeah we are taking new patients - how does March 2024 work for you? (This is early September 2023). Me: no I have an infection and need to be seen. Receptionist: Well I can make an appointment for March 2024. Me: Can't I get in sooner? Receptionist: NO. Me: So you are not taking new patients. Receptionist: But we are, in March. read more

First, the front desk call taker is unprofessional, if this is such a terrific practice.....fix that!! Also, getting an appointment is difficult and that's a problem if you should have an emergency, there are way too many great dentists in the area to deal with this. Next! read more

I have an intense aversion to the dentist due to my pediatric dental experience being downright traumatic, and I can honestly say that Uptown Dentistry has provided the best dental care I've ever had. I had a quick, pleasant, pain-free filling with Dr Jeff today, which was legitimately enjoyable, and I never thought I'd say that about any dental procedure. Dr Jeff and the staff are wonderful, and I cannot recommend this practice enough! read more

Wonderful experience at Uptown Dentistry! My family has been going to Uptown Dentistry since we moved to Park Ridge in 2012. The kids were 3 & 6 at that time. They loved the doctors, staff and office from the get go (prize box doesn't hurt) and 8+ years later, they still look forward to their 2x/year visits! We have seen Dr. Jeff & Dr. Priscilla primarily, but have seen other docs as well. They are all great! The whole office is welcoming. When I had a persistent tooth issue, they saw me many times, looking for the root cause of the issue! And, the office itself is beautiful - so clean and crisp. It's a pleasure to go in! They have handled all the covid precautions very well - air purifiers, new suction tools to prevent "splatter," client hand washing procedures, etc. Top notch for adults & kids alike! read more

Dr. Jeff Ruttencutter and his team are highly skilled in any oral healthcare need and procedure. They always go above and beyond to make sure that I receive incredible treatment in a welcoming and relaxed environment. They are always committed to helping me feel at ease when I visit for my procedures. From the moment you enter the office, the dental staff is cheerfully caring for you and the cleanliness of the facility makes me feels safe. The doctors take their time to explain and listen to my questions before and after my appointments. read more

From the professionalism of this staff, the technology offered and the talent to match, Uptown Dentistry clearly the best in class. Amazing artistry. Thank you, read more

This place is fantastic. Dr. Jeff Ruttencutter takes the time to explain everything he is doing. He is not only concerned with the "business" end of dentistry, but rather will recommended what he feels is best for the patient. Example: I had a crown with a post that fell out. I came into see Dr. Jeff and he was able to reattach the crown without having to make a new one. I have been to many other higher priced dental practices, whos first response is to always replace. That is not always the best course of action. I appreciated the fact that Dr. Jeff explained the situation and I felt comfortable with his recommendation. Only at that time did he proceed...it felt like a real Doctor / Patient partnership. read more

we have been patients for years and my whole family loves this team! so friendly and caring.

I don't write too many reviews, but I really wanted to share the positive experience I've had at Uptown, specifically with Dr. Jeff. I've been a patient of his for around 7-8 years now, and he is by far the best dentist I've had in my entire life. Besides the regular cleanings, he has pulled a wisdom tooth for me (which took all of 5 minutes and I was back at work that same day), he fixed a tooth I chipped while biting my nails, and most recently completed a dental implant for a back molar I was missing for over 13 years. Not only is his quality of work top notch, he's someone whose opinion I trust and hold in high regard. I've asked for thoughts on numerous different things ranging braces to random cosmetic issues, and he always takes the time to talk through the options with me and never pushes me to do anything. You honestly can't go wrong picking this place. read more

Our family has been going to Uptown Dentistry for years. Everyone there is always very friendly. The dentist takes their time to make sure you are doing well, and understand the treatment and any options that you have. There is no high sales pressure for any procedures. I've learned a lot from my discussions with my dentist, Dr. Ruttencutter and it has helped me to take better care of my teeth. read more

I can't recommend this practice enough! We moved to the area 7 years ago and once settled I started looking for a dentist. Now...I have PTSD with dentists. I had some really bad luck with crappy ones that messed up my teeth and I'll be that person who starts to cry and hyperventilate when others wouldn't even bat an eye. A friend recommended this practice and I hesitantly made my way there although not covered by my insurance. I'm really glad I did. In the intake form I mentioned my struggles and once on the chair we talked about my past experience, what they could do to put me at ease etc. it was awesome. Because of insurance I did try another dentist once a few years back and ran back to Uptown Dentistry for my next check up. They are so professional, understanding, kind, no shenanigans so for dental cleanings you're in and out in 20min. Great with kids too when I took my daughter who was 2 or 3 at the time. Beautiful practice. Parking super close and free for 90min or in the garage. Little Goodie bag as you leave and treasure chest for the kids. I still don't love going to the dentist but Uptown Dentistry has made it so much easier to ensure it and I'll take the 30min ride each way to get there read more

My entire family have been going to Uptown Dentistry since we moved to Park Ridge in 2016. The entire staff are consistently kind and courteous. My husband and I and our two kids see Dr. Jeff and we couldn't ask for a better dentist, he is knowledgable in his craft but also has a great sense of humor. The office itself is nicely designed, clean and modern. I highly recommend Uptown Dentistry! read more

Dr. Chang and Dr. Ruttencutter are real nice doctors! They are very professional, knowledgeable and have great bedside manners. I am always impressed with their ability to explain my family's dental conditions to us so patiently and kindly in simple terms. Stepping into their office is like going to the spa-with the lovely decor. The staff is kind and helpful and I highly recommend the office. read more

You always hear people say that they hate going to the dentist, but not in the case for uptown dentistry. Been seeing Dr. Ruttencutter or I just call him Dr. Jeff and his team for the last 5-6 years. My dental appointments which I used to think as something dreadful has become something that i look forward to every 6 months. The clinic's cleanliness and their practice with hygiene has been over the top even prior to covid and their equipments are up to date. The place may also look intimidating and fancy but the staff are super warm and friendly. Dr. jeff always listens to your concerns and checks on you in the middle of your procedure to make you feel more comfortable. And, you always leave uptown dentistry feeling better if not great about yourself! read more

Went to our first visit with Dr. Valencia with my almost 3 year old, we couldn't have had a better experience! From the front desk staff, to the hygienists, to Dr. Valencia herself, everyone was beyond welcoming and made my daughters first dentist appointment so enjoyable. Dr. Valencia is SO good with kids! The office is sparkling clean and beautifully decorated. My daughter watched a TV right above her during the exam/cleaning. And they even gave her sunglasses for the bright light! You can tell they put their patients first. Would give this place 10 stars if I could! read more

I just left Uptown Dentistry after having a cavity filled and I could not have been more pleased. Erin, the receptionist is so delightful and easy to talk to. I like that she has all the estimated costs up front and ready for you to look over before any work is done. No surprises! Dr. Jeff is so sweet and sensitive, but also FAST! Nobody likes sitting in the dentist's chair in the first place and he is very precise and speedy with his work. That was much appreciated! He was also very cautious with pain management. He starts with minimal numbing (with your consent) and then will increase if you're the least bit uncomfortable. I, honestly, do not have one complaint about this practice. read more

I've been going to Uptown Dentistry for a few years now, and it's always an easy and comfortable experience. I feel I've gotten to know Dr. Jeff and the staff a little bit, so I don't dread going to appointments as I've done up until now. My concerns are understood and advised with warmth and professionalism. They're always proactive with providing estimated costs of procedures (including insurance coverage and gaps), so that I can make an informed decision without surprises. The office is beautiful and welcoming without feeling cold and clinical. Appointments run on schedule, and procedures are completed efficiently without feeling rushed out the door. Overall, I'm so happy I found Uptown Dentistry and I highly recommend their services. read more

My family has been seen at Uptown for years- the staff is always kind, professional, puts everyone at ease and provides excellent care. For my children who don't love the dentist, Dr.Jeff is patient and has them laughing by the time we leave. We wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Brought the whole family, the kids love the whole staff :) Both Dr. Ruttencutter and Dr. Chang are great with our kids and make going to the dentist fun--I only wish I had dentists like this when I was a kid! We wanted to get my daughter her first cleaning, since she now has half a mouth full of teeth--and it's great to get her used to the dentist. My son (3) was due to see Dr. Ruttencutter again so we all came by the office and they were able to see the whole family and rotated us in and out so I could get my cleaning done as well. If you are looking for a family dentist in the Park Ridge area, stop by and meet the folks at Uptown Dentistry--they go a long way to make their patients happy and earn their customers' business. read more

I have not found a dentist that I felt comfortable with in a long time. My wife told me about this dentist in Park Ridge and how great he was. I stopped in to make an appointment and they had a cancellation so they took me right in because I needed X-rays and my teeth to be cleaned. First of all this place is so cool it's so contemporary and they make you feel so comfortable , every single person that I talked with there was friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Jeff said he'd have me out of there within an hour and he was right on time. This is by far the best experience I've ever had with a dentist. They took my x-rays and cleaned my teeth and made me laugh all at the same time. If you live in the Park Ridge area or the surrounding suburbs I highly recommend Uptown Dentistry. read more
