The folks at lifetime of smiles are so kind, intentional, and non-judgmental. Of course it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. I like that they ask you initially what barriers you might have and also your main goal for the visit. Dr. Lee is so kind, takes his time explaining everything, and makes sure you are completely comfortable. I thought pain free was a myth, but they really do such a great job. Thanks for everything!

Warning: Predatory Billing and Financial Negligence…read more I am leaving this review to warn others about the unprofessional and predatory billing practices at A Lifetime of Smiles. After completing several visits in February 2025, I paid a total of $1,669.00 in person at the time of service. Despite these large payments, the office never sent me a single paper bill or electronic statement. The first "notice" I received of any balance was a casual text message sent at 4:00 PM the day before a scheduled appointment in April 2025, claiming I owed a "heads up" amount of $946.00. When I immediately asked for a breakdown, they waited until the next morning to tell me $829.00 was a "prior balance" from insurance adjustments. They went completely silent for 11 months, only to send this unverified debt to a collections agency in March 2026. After doing the math myself using my Cigna EOBs and bank records, their numbers are mathematically impossible: Verified Over-Collection: On February 12, 2025, my insurance EOB stated my responsibility was only $465.00. However, the office charged me $712.00 at the window--an over-collection of $247.00 for a single visit. Missing Credits: According to my insurance, my total responsibility for all February visits was $1,742.60. Since I already paid $1,669.00, my actual balance should have been roughly $73.00, yet they are hounding me for $829.00. This office appears to either have a complete failure in their accounting department or is intentionally "balance billing" patients for amounts the insurance company has already adjusted. To jump straight to collections a year later without ever providing an itemized invoice is a predatory and unprofessional way to treat patients. I have filed a formal complaint with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) and the Attorney General. Avoid this practice unless you want to be blindsided by fraudulent "balances" a year after your treatment.

I got in for a check up right away, and had two teeth in serious shape. They scheduled me for a cleaning but before that came about, one of my bad teeth became very painful. They got me in right away for a root canal. It turned out that the tooth could not be saved, and it had to be pulled because it was fractured. Not what I would call a fun day, but Dr. Patel and Sherry, the hygienist and assistant, made me feel very comfortable, and the office staff was very accommodating and helpful. Unfortunately, I'll be seeing a lot of them!

They know my whole family and when I called to get my records transferred Mary asked how my sisters were doing. The staff there is awesome (I was bummed when Ethel retired). The waiting room is nice with magazines, a few toys for kids, and a clean bathroom. I don't really know much about dentistry, but I didn't understand why people didn't like going to the dentist until I went to a different one in Chicago. Dr. Krabill was really good whenever I got a filling or teeth pulled - the novacaine shot really just felt like a pinch and then no other pain. When I got a filling in Chicago, I've never had that much pain at the dentist before - and when I told her she looked at me like "of course it's going to hurt" (this was NOT Krabill's, this was in Chicago, just to be clear.) In terms of pricing I honestly have no idea as my parents handled that. If you can get in to see him (I thought at one point he wasn't able to take any more patients) it is very highly recommended!
