I was searching for a new dental office, and my co-worker recommended Southland Smiles…read more
Upon check-in, Hiliare gave my husband and I, a tour of the office, then placed us in our respective chairs.
There is a gift bag placed on the chair for you. Most dental offices I have been too, usually give a bag that has a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss, and given on my way out. In my bag, I was given a water bottle, calendar, pen, and hygiene kit that consisted of a toothbrush, toothbrush cover, floss, toothpaste, tongue cleaner, and squeeze-a-toothpaste thing to help squeeze out all your toothpaste. And one of the best things, is the chair is a massaging chair!
Hiliare introduced me to my dental assistant, Tracey. She took the films, and went over my health questionnaire. Tracey was great! From there, I met Sharon, my hygienist, then Dr. DiBenedetto. Dr. DiBenedetto went over everything Tracey and Sharon did, including my imaging. He explained everything in detail and answered all my questions, and gave recommendations.
Finally, I went back to Sharon for my cleaning and she talked through everything she did, explained everything in detail. At the end, she scheduled my follow-up appointments.
The office visit is about 2 hours, but we were in there a little bit longer because my husband is very sensitive to cleanings and they had to numb him. But other than this, for me, it didn't even seem that long because everything was so seamless from start to finish. This office is top notch and if you reside in the south suburbs of Illinois, I highly recommend coming here. You will not be disappointed.
