Amazing experience. Dare I say the best dental experience ever??? I literally FELL ASLEEP during my tooth cleaning! FELL ASLEEP!!! I didn't leave feeling like I was being punched in the face repeatedly with bleeding gums and an aching face. I left relaxed and almost like I had a spa treatment! UNREAL!! It was unlike any other dentist office I had ever been to. No glaring overhead lights. No sink to spit into. It felt super futuristic! And I went in the middle of a pandemic and I felt super safe. My back crown had fallen off - it had never felt right in my mouth but I was so traumatized after my last dentist appointment that I had never gotten to get it refitted. Dr. Cooper referred me to someone to get another root canal (which was also SUPER less invasive than my last root canal) which solved my underlying problem, and Dr. Cooper crafted me the perfect crown (which was milled/crafted onsite)! I don't dread going to the dentist anymore. I'm a huge fan! read more

Dr. Cooper is the best of the best. After having two crowns placed in my mouth by Dr. Cooper, one needed adjustment the next day and I was going out of town. I called the office in the evening and received a return call within 5- minutes to schedule a second appointment and Dr. Cooper, knowing that I was going out of town the following day, offered to come in at 6 AM to make the 30-second adjustment. He and his staff are terrific and truly care about their patients. Unlike most dentists, Dr. Cooper has an on-site lab and crowns can be done in one visit, Frum the exam to actual placement of the crown with no temporary crowns.......saving a lot of time. If you are looking for great dental care in Chicago, contact Dr. Cooper at West Loop Dental. read more

West Loop dental rocks, you know why? It's easy they provide a great cleaning, service with a "Smile" and tell you the truth. While other local dentist offices want to up-charge you before they even know our name, West Loop Dental does the right thing by their clientele and are not greedy. Both of my Cleanings have been done by Theresa who is super thorough & super friendly. Theresa is an excellent hygienist and does a fantastic cleaning. Thank you Theresa!!! Dr. Cooper comes to verify everything is all good at the end of the appointment. He is a super nice, cool guy and delivers your final results with confidence too. West Loop Dental and Dr. Cooper have been in business close to 20 years and there is an easy answer why they are successful. He clearly hires great people who love what they do as much as him and clients come back. If you need a dentist in the west loop, then your decision should be to go to Dr. Cooper & Co at West Loop Dental!! read more

When I first went to see Dr. Cooper's office it was just for a cleaning and that went fine- not the best cleaning of my life but Dr. Cooper came by after and kindly gifted me a teeth whitening set because I was getting married. I thought that was fantastic! After the cleaning, and after X-Rays, I scheduled an appointment to have my cavity filled. That's where things went south. Dr. Cooper was not gentle at all and the experience was extremely uncomfortable. I decided that maybe I was being a baby, although my instinct told me that he hadn't done a good job. After getting the filling, however, flossing was very painful in that area and for several months later I would get things stuck there and started to develop a sensitivity in that tooth. Today I went to my new dentist for a checkup and she told me that the filling in that tooth was damaged and needed to be replaced. When she replaced it, the procedure was 100% less painful and she did a fantastic job. Flossing is a breeze. To boot, I told my husband about the experience and he told me that the filling he had with Dr. Cooper recently also fell out and he had to get it replaced as well! So I guess my experience was not an isolated incident. That's when I decided to write this review. Verdict: don't come here if you expect quality dental work and a gentle procedure. I go to Northwestern Dental Center now and couldn't be happier, even if it means I have to leave the West Loop. read more

Found Dr. Cooper and West Loop Dental on Yelp, as I was looking for a new dentist in my neighborhood. I absolutely loved my childhood dentist and didn't really care much for the one I had been seeing of late so I was hoping that I would luck out here. The office is clean and the hygenists are friendly. I actually hate going to the dentist because I hate the feeling of getting my teeth cleaned but they do as good of a job as possible here to keep me comfortable. I don't have dental insurance through work and West Loop Dental works with patients to keep the costs affordable, which is extremely appreciated. Best of all, last time I was in, I mentioned I was getting married this summer and they told me to come back before the wedding for a complimentary teeth cleaning. I was expecting just a quick in and out polishing, but they actually took the time to do a complete cleaning, FOR FREE. I don't know if other dentists do this, but to me, this just shows how much they actually care about their patients. read more

After a traumatic experience with a dentist several years ago, I had avoided all dentists for a very long time. Long enough for cavities to form in several of my teeth, requiring me to book two appointments (in addition to my cleaning) with Dr. Cooper. The cleaning and checkup went really well. They have a really nice, nonscary x-ray machine, and top notch technology all around. They even had a little camera to take pictures of the inside of my mouth so I could see the results of my neglect. The hygienist was very professional and my teeth felt squeaky clean when she was done. And the cavity fillings were SO easy. My old dentist took forever to do those, but Dr. Cooper finished several fillings in under an hour while inflicting no pain or discomfort. He was very nice and not creepy at all. Getting an appointment was easy and quick...they even offer 7:30 a.m. time slots so you can stop by before work. The only drawback is that I'm now officially out of excuses to avoid the dentist. read more

Both my husband and I had our first appointments this morning. It was a great experience. We only had one paper to fill out. Thank goodness! Some places give you a packet of papers that take forever and then you have to verbally repeat everything anyway. We were both brought back at the same time. I had a full set of films taken and the assistant was super fast and friendly. Then Dr. Cooper came in and discussed my dental health, which was great. He really seemed genuinely interested to hear about my dental history. He said everything looked good and the cleaning began. Wow! The dental assistant was very thorough, gentle, and again friendly. I am fairly certain she spent the most time making sure all the tartar was removed. I have been to dentists in the past that zip through this part. In my opinion, I think this is the most important part of the cleaning. I love the feeling of my teeth when it is done correctly. Bonus, we both got to take home a goodie bag, woohoo! I highly recommend The West Loop Dental Associates. read more

Everyone here is great. As a self-employed person with individual insurance, healthcare is really a luxury for me with the state of health-care and insurance in America. It is hard to find providers that understand how tricky it is for folks like me, but everyone at West Loop Dental gets it. They have been very helpful in that regard, making sure I understand charges and how my insurance works, and the best course of action to take for my financial situation and individual insurance plan. Ann, the billing manager....a spectacular human being. She is great at explaining and helping me understand everything, and is super nice. Dr. Cooper has a great "chair-side" manner. He has a very relaxed and non-stressed vibe. He also has patience to wait to see what will be the best solution, and does not rush into procedures that might just be a waste of money, and ultimately not remedy the problem. He has referred me to a specialist to determine the source of my jaw pain, and did not just throw on an expensive "band-aid" to just get me out of the chair. He is probably the most patient dentist I've ever had. And last, but certainly not least, Theresa the dental hygienist is probably the best at what she does...I'd say in the world. For the first time ever I did not feel like the ex-ray pieces were going to cut through my mouth. She has the most gentle hand, and always checks to see if you're having any pain during cleaning. THE BEST ever. If she ever moves away from Chicago, I will follow her just to get my teeth cleaned from her where ever she is in the world. She is that good! I give her 1000 stars! read more

I hadn't been to a dentist in YEARS. That being said, I was very nervous about seeing one now, knowing I needed a lot of work. After reading a few reviews, I settled on West Loop Dental, since it is close to both my work and school. I could not be happier with my choice. From making the appointment, to signing in and getting in the office, everything went so smoothly. The receptionist was incredibly patient and nice. I still was nervous after filling out the paperwork, then saw Teresa, a hygienist, who was to take me to do my x-rays and cleaning. I must say, Teresa is great! She did such an amazing job and helped me to feel relaxed. She showed me my x-rays to show what years of no dentist had done to my teeth, but remained positive that it would be fixed. Never once did I feel shamed by my bad teeth! As for the cleaning, she was extremely thorough and it didn't hurt at all! After that, I met Dr. Cooper, who I must say is probably the nicest dentist I've ever met. He took a look at my teeth and told me the plan to fix all of the issues. He minimized the severity of it all and kept me relaxed during the entire time. I have another appointment in a few weeks, and I'm actually excited to be going! read more

The dentist removed 27 year old bonding (do not wait that long!) a year ago and replaced it with new bonding. He was so affordable and I had a great experience throughout. So that was a year ago and I've gone on with my life, not thinking about my teeth at all. Then today, I had a photo session and saw my teeth in the picture. Then I remembered how bad they looked a year ago and I was again so grateful that I was able to get them redone and that West Loop did such a great job. I can't stop staring at them in the pictures. What a tremendous difference! Not a closed mouth picture in the bunch. Anyway, I thought I'd write this today. read more

I went here when my other dentist blew me off for god knows what. Oh well, move on and forget about it. There are so many competitors for everything existing in such a large city that who really cares? Not me. MY hygienist was so thorough that one might call them anal retentive. In most walks of life, that's annoying. In a teeth cleaning, it's appreciated. It's been over 3 weeks and still no plaque to be found. Yay! Clean teeth! Well, my other reason for praising them is that the hygienist gave me a small headed toothbrush, telling me I have tiny teeth and it would do a better job. It has!! I now feel like the adult sized brushes I've been using are giant sized. Also, she showed me how I can brush to reduce plaque in my front bottom teefers, whatever those are called. Dr. Copper was nice, confident that my teeth and gums were healthy, and I thought he knew what he was talking about. He was able to call my jaw issue on the spot. I had to bring that up to my last two dentists. I have a jaw that unhinges, and makes noises when I open or close my mouth, and sometimes when I chew. It's lame, but as Dr. Cooper says, "if it's just noisy, it's not a problem. If it hurts, come talk to me". Every other dentist I've had has tried to push braces on me, but Dr. C said that he didn't know if braces would work and that they are expensive. He said if it didn't hurt, it wasn't a big deal to him as long as it wasn't to me. I was in and out in about 45 minutes, and heard some awesome music while I was in the tiny waiting room. Nice, I say. Nice. read more

Dr. Cooper and his staff are amazing! I came in to get a cavity filled and I was expecting the worst! I hadn't been to the dentist as an adult for anything other than a cleaning because my childhood dentist basically traumatized me. When Dr. Cooper talked to me I was relaxed & comfortable he made sure the numbing agents worked. I didn't feel ANY pain. I honestly still can't believe how fast and painless everything was. I'm going in for bonding soon since the work I've seen is incredible & affordable. We also did a mock version of my future smile & it looked great. I received my before & after pictures early that next day. I'm also so appreciative that I can schedule appointments right after work & I don't have to wait long to be seen. I got great advice from Maria regarding my tooth sensitivity & its helped a lot. I'm so incredibly happy that I've found West Loop Dental & my fear of going to the dentist is completely gone thanks to Dr. Cooper & his team!!! read more

Bummer: No dental insurance for me (thank god I have health insurance). The Upside: West Loop Dental Associates and their totally reasonable fees for the insuranceless like me. I had a cavity filled for $160, the cleaning was also under $100. Cleaning: One of the most thorough cleanings I've ever had (and I spent a TON of time at the dentist as a kid, and in my life). Rock out, dental hygenist! Cavity filling: Also one of the quickest, best cavity fillings I've had--and this was a between-teeth cavity. Normally dentists get the novocaine in the slightly wrong place and I start feeling the pain, but in the very short amount of time it took Dr. Cooper to do the filling, no pain at all. Generally: Dr. Cooper also talked me out of an unnecessary procedure, which many other dentists would have cajoled me into. Totally pragmatic dentist. Clean, modern office (again, apparently you can have a clean modern office AND have reasonable prices...sign me up!). LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

If I'm giving 5 stars to a dentist do I really need to say much more? Awesome staff and absolutely no bs nonsense other dentists are known for in terms of "necessary dental procedures" ... If you're in the West Loop or nearby, this should be your dental practice - if not, find a way to make the trip. Perfection. read more

I was referred to Dr. Cooper and he and his staff were exceptional. He explained my options and really worked to ensure my comfort. This may be the first time I have ever said - I am looking forward to returning to his office! I recommend him and his team without hesitation. read more

Maria is awesome. We've worked through a lot of my dental issues together. Such as but not limited to: - avoiding cookies and milk before bed - brushing behind my teeth like a big boy! - not brushing so abrasively (gum recession sucks) - using mouthwash to help keep those "watcher" cavities in check - and many more... I came here expecting to see a few four star reviews, but I'm not at all surprised by all the positive praise. Oh, Dr. Cooper is awesome too! read more

I just checked my planner for next week and am looking forward to seeing Dr. Cooper. I don't normally look forward to the dentist but I leave with incredibly thorough cleanings and I love that! The staff is wonderful to work with, my appointments are on time, the cleaning is meticulous, and Dr. Cooper is the coolest. i ask him about small concerns and he does not lay out thousands of dollars of cosmetic/implant options. If you live or work int he west loop, you should clean up that mouth and get in this place. Thank You West Loop Dental! read more

Dr. Cooper is the best dentist around. I actually enjoy going to the dentist if you can believe it. The hygentists are all top notch as well - Maricel always does a great job. All of the rest of the staff are very helpful and friendly. read more

As far as dentists go, Dr. Cooper is the BEST! If you saw him on the street you would never guess he's a dentist- he's pretty stocky, and looks like he used to play hockey (which he did) or on the O-line of some NFL team. But his chairside manner is unbelievable- he's soft-spoken and a great guy. And get this- I was getting my veneers redone and he actually persuaded me NOT to get some work done that he deemed unnecessary at the time. Normally the dentists I've been to try to load you up on services and charge you out the nose- not Dr. Cooper. And his staff is incredible! They're awesome people- here's an example- I was getting my teeth bleached and instead of making me listen to the usual dentist office music they were playing (the one downside, but I guess you need to keep it neutral), she gave me her iPod and let me rock out to that for 45 minutes. Needless to say, the time flew right by! read more

The crown they gave me is not aligned with my teeth! It is set too far in, so when I smile it looks like I have a tooth missing. They boasted about having the "latest technology" but weren't able to give me back my smile. The scanning method they used wasn't as accurate as taking an impression of my mouth. I paid them thousands of dollars and am very unhappy with the results. I have since gone elsewhere for other procedures and am much happier with the dental work I have received. read more

Doctor Cooper is the absolute best! He makes you feel so comfortable and all the girls are friendly and professional. I was dying to get braces but Doctor Cooper helped me realize there are other options. I have been smiling ear to ear ever since. I have literally recommended all my staff. Thank you Doc for making my smile perfect! read more

Dr. Cooper and his entire team are FANTASTIC! Every person from the front desk, office manager, hygienists and Dr. Cooper himself go above and beyond to make the experience stress-free. I made the mistake of going to another dental group in Chicago when I first moved here three years ago that told me I had five cavities (when I hadn't had a single one before) and then botched every single filling causing months of pain. They were a massive dental practice with several doctors, so the positive reviews on Yelp! based on one doctor were very misleading when another doctor was the one actually doing the fillings. After a lot of research and personal recommendations I ended up at Dr. Coopers office and couldn't be happier with the decision. He ended up replacing a few of the previous fillings and a new one, and three hours later I am good as new! Who knew that getting a filling could be this painless! I had a few insurance questions and Dr. Cooper's team went above and beyond to make sure I understood the cost of everything, and even called my insurance for me when I had a specific question. They are the opposite of many other dental groups in Chicago that try and squeeze every dollar from you and rush through things - they are extremely forthcoming, reasonable and do incredible work. Look no further for a dentist in Chicago - go see Dr. Cooper! read more

THE BEST DENTIST EVER! I think that's pretty much all you need to know! I have been to a lot of different dentist in my life and Dr. Cooper is the best! All the girls in the office are super nice also. I would give it more stars if I could, so don't hesitate and don't be afraid - this is THE place to go. :) read more

The West Loop dental team and Dr. Cooper are by far the best in the city. They are thoughtful, listen and are reasonably priced. There are plenty of others in the WL that are only concerned with money and not a long term relationship. Dr. Cooper and his staff always do a great job! Highly recommended! read more

If you want your fillings to fall out with two years of getting them put in you should most def visit this place.... if you want the crown that you had them put in (BTW something like that cost several thousand dollars.....) fail and need to be replaced within less then two years you should most def have your dental work done there! in other words.... if you want to get ripped off..... get your dental work done here:) read more

HORRIBLE!!! I am not really one to leave negative reviews. However, I just walked in the door only to be told that they cancelled my appointment without my authorization or even telling me!! Wasted my PTO and paid for cab fare to the appointment that was made 2 weeks before!! I even called and confirmed it 2 days before the appointment! Was pretty much told tough **** when the next appointment was a month later!! Completely unprofessional and inconsiderate of others time!! Will NEVER be back!! read more

Welllll It's STRIKE TWO So they are out. I first, about a month ago completed their online appointment request form. NO RESPONSE I called today.. I told the young woman that answered the phone that I needed an appointment. I believe I am developing a toothache. She asked if I needed an examination and oral cleaning I said yes I guess that too. I said I had dental insurance but I wasn't sure who it was with. I forgot to look it up. Then I remembered who it was and told her. She put me on hold for 10 minutes and then came back to the phone and just kept saying, hello, hello, I was practically screaming into the phone. I do NOT believe she didn't hear me. I believe because I was uncertain of my dental insurance she chose not to want to deal with me. I think all in all the reviews of Dr. Cooper himself may be good, but his office staff is unresponsive and is a detriment to his practice. So I have to continue to look for another dentist and this with a developing tooth ache. SMH read more

Very well run business with state of the art dental equipment and just real down to earth genuine people trying to help their patients help themselves. RIDE ON! read more

My first appointment here was fantastic. Everyone was uber-friendly, professional and conscience of your experience and health. I'm very thankful to have found a new, local dentist. read more

I found West Loop Dental through Yelp, so I thought it was only fair that I add to the chorus of praise for Doctor Cooper and this great establishment. The staff are courteous, the hygienists are great to work with and Dr. Cooper himself is friendly and approachable, and does a wonderful job of putting you at ease. I was pleasantly surprised when Dr. Cooper personally did my cleaning on my first visit; he explained that he wanted to get to know his patients more closely before letting his staff take over. You gotta like that. If you have any kind of phobia about dentists, be comforted: no one here will berate you. It won't hurt. You'll be taken care of by friendly, caring professionals. So go. read more

I've been going here since I moved to the West Loop - about 6 years now. This is hands down the best dentist in the West Loop and possibly even Chicago! Mara, one of the dental hygenists, is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. I really like Dr. Cooper but Mara is my absolute faaaaave. She's sooo incredibly nice and gentle. She makes you feel like your comfort and well being are her number one priority. read more

Of course I go regularly, because that is what you are suppose to do. I leave each time with a great experience considering it is the dentist. The staff is great, Dr. Coop always seems to be taking some class on something to continue being better at his job, which I appreciate. I have sent several friends there with no worries at all. In fact, my dad had some major work done and he said it was the best vibe he's gotten at a dentist too. read more

Dr. Cooper is amazing and so is the staff. I haven't been able to afford a dentist in 4 years and one of my wisdom teeth grew in crooked and was causing a significant amount of pain, so much so that the right side of my face swelled up and I couldn't move jaw. I went into west loop dental on the recommendation of a friend and was so happy I did. Dr. Cooper extracted my tooth that day and it was actually painless. With a prescription for antibiotics and Vicodin I healed quickly and didn't even use the Vicodin. This could be luck (as I know many wisdom teeth nightmare stories) but I'm choosing to attribute it to the skill of Dr. Cooper. I was given an amazing discount because I was a first time patient without insurance and treated with much care and respect (NO FLOSS SHAMING!!). Even though it is a 35 minute commute, in good traffic, I will continue going to West Loop Dental. read more

I have never been the perfect patient and a lot of it probably stems from poor service in the past, but I can say that I almost look forward to going to the dentist now. The service I receive from Dr. Cooper and his staff is above and beyond each and every time. From working with insurance carriers to making appointments, the service is always top notch! If you are looking for a personable dentist who delivers great dental work, look no further. read more

Dr. Cooper seems like a good dentist. The office itself feels a bit small/lacking privacy as there are only cabinets separating multiple dental chairs/exam areas. I was happy with my experience there and will definitely continue as a patient, but it just didn't feel five-starts (4 is still a compliment from me - I'm stingy) - but I'll try to elaborate and/or revisit this review after my next appointment. read more

I have been to quite a few places, but in 44 years on this earth I have never had such a gentle cleaning as I did today by Mira. She is just wonderful and very peaceful, excellent to deal with. Dr Cooper was also a very nice guy. This place wins, no need to go anywhere else. read more

Very professional, nice and knowledgable staff. Plus, they are fair and give you all of your options. I asked about replacing my bonding and Dr. Cooper gave me ALL of my options. At the last place I asked, they only gave me the most expensive option. I have been there three times so far and all have been very good experiences. read more

Best dental experience yet! No hassles or up selling, sensitive and careful hygienist, super friendly staff, visit with the dentist was easy! read more

Best dentist ever! Went if for my 1st time based on other reviews and have to agree! Everyone there was extremely nice and knowledgeable. The technology was very impressive for even just the x-rays. I have never received such a detailed and thorough cleaning and Dr Cooper made sure to spend enough time with me to get comfortable with everything including anything I should look out for in the future. Highly recommend! read more

All dental work is now complete. I am still blown away by Dr.Cooper and his team. They are all so patient and caring. Best dental experience ever! read more
