I went in for a checkup, and to schedule a Wisdom Teeth Removal. I've had a nagging pain that would…read moreswell my gums around my wisdom teeth. It would occur at the most once a year. Usually caused by, what I assumed was popcorn kernel stuck between my teeth and gums. This time I was fortunate enough to have a job with great dental, and the extra funds for the procedure. I ended up joining the Careplus credit program to finance the procedure. His staff were very polite and the office was clean and very modernized. His office was nice and clean. Dr. Amarantes builds great rapport with his clients, and was knows how to connect. We were discussing about my upcoming wedding, and how insecure I was about our photos. We first did a cleaning, which helped so much with brightening my smile. Then when it was tie for the wisdom teeth removal, As nervous as I was, he kept me informed of the process every step of the way. He has a delicate hand. Even though my mouth was numb, I felt safe in his hands. It was a clean procedure, as I was able to go home, and embrace the pain that was to come. My mouth was sore from the procedure, but I had a successful recovery. My gums were able to close up, and I was able to have a beautiful wedding pain free. Thanks Dr. Amarantes! I've been indulging in popcorn, my favorite snack, like never before. Thanks for saving my mouth and smile.

Be careful of this new dentist in Evanston. This is a relatively new practice…read more He wants to make sure that he and his staff leave office by 04:30p everyday and also enjoy his summer vacation time in Brazil. He squeezes every penny out of your dental insurance sometimes without providing adequate service and billing the dental insurance almost fraudulently. Dental practice can run only if the dentist and the staff are sincere towards his existing patients and is willing to put in some extra hours towards practice (especially when the practice is NEW). This is not the WAY dental clinics are run in and around Evanston. One General Dentist trying to attend on 4 different patients at the same time.

But you would never know it by his calm, gentle demeanor and kind manner. I am almost not afraid to go see him. That says a lot. Over the years, Dr. Klos has taken time with us, He has spent time with our son to explain how to brush his teeth and why its important (did you know plaque is a bacterial mold?), and teaching good hygiene. He doesn't just treat a problem and send you out. With my fear, he has taken time with me so I can be calmer during my visits. He has very thoughtfully prescribed antibiotics for an infection (I have allergies) and has a great attitude about avoiding too much medication--enough to keep you comfortable, but not so much your mouth is sore afterward from shots and you are woozy from gas. A kind, conscientious dentist and a pretty terrific person. Take a look at the many awards he has for public service. I hope he never retires.

BEWARE OF THESE FAKE REVIEWS. THIS PLACE HAS THE WORST HYGINIEST EVER…read more New patient but definitely won't be coming back! Came in as a new patient for Dr. EMILY CHEN, but somehow Dr. SANA BAIG saw me instead. It was not a huge deal to me at all since she gave me some solid advice. Now my main complaint about this place. As new patient, they did Xray first, then Doctor check, then cleaning. The Xray technician was horrible. It took him a total of 25 mins to just to get everything correct. Never had someone took that long to get all the xray necessary. HYGINIEST. I've been going to dentist religiously for quite some time now and I have never, ever had a horrible hyginiest experience ever until I got here. Even working as solo, a lot of hygienist are able to properly do their job and not make a mess on patient's face. 1. Why does hyginiest gotta ask me if im okay every 20s? It was already established that i would raise my left hand if I wanted to stop whatever she was doing. 2. Too much water I might as well bring a soap and shampoo and take a shower. She wasn't attentive of overflowing water in mouth and would say "I was focused on cleaning your teeth".. 3. Why she gotta physically close my mouth after saying close your mouth? People know how suction works.. ‍‍‍ Like hello?? Never had a hyginiest physically close my mouth just to do suction! 4. She didnt Floss under my bridge and she was "teaching" me how to floss. She also left a broken piece of floss in between my teeth and she didnt noticed it until I said redo the part since i feel something stuck in my teeth. 5. Always looking whos walking by like hello focus your eyes on me. That's why you didnt notice if water is leaking out of my mouth. She looks like she's not confident with her work or asking validation if shes doing a good job‍‍ 6. Xray tech took forever to do xray smh. Do better. Are you even supposed to use your hand to prop the device? This guy really placing his hand in radiation zone.

Dr. Contos and both of his assistants were so gentle, yet thorough, and made sure I was comfortable and informed throughout the whole visit. There was never any pressure to opt in to procedures, and I was given a detailed price estimate of all offered procedures. I had some cavities filled and had to do it without laughing gas due to my pregnancy, which I had never done before, but I barely felt a thing, and was at ease for the entire procedure due to the caring nature of the staff. As a bonus, the receptionist is so kind and personable. She remembered me after 1 visit. Thank you, Contos Smile Center!

Walking to pick up lunch one day, I passed Sodini dental on Oakton, and knowing that I needed to get back to the dentist and looked up their reviews to see if this would be a good place to maybe try and become a new patient. I slid down a slippery slope through Covid and since, after moving away from my previous dentist and some extensive and ongoing health issues impacted my life. I called and was able to make an appointment for a couple months out - I was pleasantly surprised that they were taking new patients and that I didn't have to wait that long in the scheme of dr's offices for a new patient appointment. They do send text reminders as well which I appreciated. Doré at the front provided my new patient paperwork and checked me in. She was nice and efficient. Therese was my hygienist and I am so grateful and lucky that she got my appointment. I was transparent and disclosed it had been almost 7 years since my last dental appointment. I had been diagnosed with several conditions that are ongoing that have impacted my entire life tremendously, and paired with Covid and moving, time passed so quickly until we were here. Therese was patient and kind and made me feel incredibly heard. I know many people (myself included) who have anxiety build as time passes fearing judgment from dentists when we finally do make it in, and I need to stress so clearly here that Therese was so understanding, empathetic, and validating, especially with consideration to my ongoing health struggles. I was immediately so relieved and relaxed to continue with the visit AND ongoing dental care. We did a whole slew of x-rays since it had been so long since my last, and we also decided periodontal scalings were appropriate for cleaning my teeth and getting me back on track as well. Therese was communicative and gentle throughout the entire appointment and stressed my comfort over and over. We did split the scalings into two appointments, and I came back a week later for the second half of the cleaning. They made sure to book me with Therese at my request. I cannot articulate clearly enough how much the staff here made sure I was comfortable through my appointments. Unheard of in my previous dental office experiences. Dr. Sam saw me for my exam and she is incredibly kind, my experience with her was also very positive. I'm so grateful to have accidentally found an office with so much empathy and kindness in addition to professionalism, efficient administrative staff, and a very clean office. I know Sodini Dental has been a part of the community for a long time, and I selfishly hope they continue to be so. My insurance is out of network with the office, and I knew this going in to my appointment, and agreed to out of network costs. Out of network costs are generally not cheap, this was no exception, however billing and payment were both easy and transparent. We set up my next appointments for this year before I left from my second visit, and I was able to pay my balance without issue. Thank you Sodini Dental for a great and easy experience!
