We brought our toddler for her first dental visit after preparing her in advance by talking about…read morethe dentist and practicing at home. Unfortunately, the experience felt rushed and not developmentally appropriate for a first visit. The office itself is very overstimulating (arcade-like waiting area, open bay with multiple chairs, loud cartoons), which may work for some children but was overwhelming for ours. Once we were brought back, the hygienist lowered the chair without warning or explanation, which immediately frightened our child and caused significant distress. As she became increasingly upset, the response was to suggest holding her hands and legs to continue the exam. For a non-urgent, first visit, this did not feel appropriate to us. During this time, a second hygienist made joking comments and laughed about our child's distress, which felt unprofessional and dismissive. When we chose to end the visit, we were told "it will be the same next time," rather than discussing alternative, child-centered approaches. This was surprising, as we have had very different experiences at other pediatric dental practices where first visits focus on comfort, narration, and gradual exposure rather than restraint. Parents considering this office should be aware of the approach used here and decide whether it aligns with their expectations for a child's first dental experience.

In the rooms, there is a cartoon playing on the ceiling to occupy the kids. After each visit, there is a goodie bag, balloon, and stickers! Our daughter actually looks forward to going to the dentist and leaves each time beaming and proud. Zina at the front desk is ah-mazing. She has been there since the beginning and is always super sweet, personable, and helpful. The hygienists and dentists are professional, friendly and do a thorough job.

In Year 2, I went for my check-up & cleaning and to my SURPRISE there was a different dentist. Also, Destiny Dental DOES NOT HAVE professional dental hygienists who will clean your teeth. Who cleans your teeth? THE DENTIST! I was shocked, the 1st time I went to Destiny, that the Dentist is the ONE performing teeth cleaning. The Dentist did an excellent job cleaning my teeth, but then I thought, wait a minute: Isn't there a better use of her time? Destiny Dental is located near Walmart & Walgreens. Their building/office is hidden and not visible from Touhy Ave. USE YOUR GPS to find it or you might drive right by it. Turn on Central Ave. OFF Touhy (if coming from west to east turn left, but if coming from east to west, turn right on Central). I am coming from west bound to east bound, so I turn LEFT on Central and then another LEFT turn at the very 1st driveway. Destiny Dental is located on the other side of Walgreens. Once you turn left into the 1st driveway, YOU WILL TURN LEFT at the very 1st lot opening. The reason I keep going here is because they accept my dental insurance (Blue Cross/Blue Shield of IL). I don't pay anything for cleaning, x-rays, checkup). I had a molar extracted here and all I paid was $17; my molar was the last one in back on right side. It was very, very loose. It was loose because the bone was NOT holding it in place anymore. The bone was disappearing (shown on x-rays and per Dentist info.). Since molar was very, very loose it popped out easily. I had no pain and, yes, I had a shot to numb the area. I was NOT going to allow the extraction to take place without being numbed up. The procedure went smoothly and I did not experience any complications or pain afterwards. I had a dentist for over 20 years. Unfortunately, he does NOT accept the insurance I now have so I had to find a new Dentist that would take my insurance. This is why and how I ended up going to Destiny Dental in Niles, Illinois.

I do not recommend this Destiny Dental location in Niles…read more I originally scheduled dental appointments for both myself and my daughters last month. The office canceled our appointments the day before we were supposed to be seen. I called back and rescheduled all of our appointments for June 9. Earlier this week, someone from the office called me only about my appointment and told me there was an issue with my insurance and that I needed to contact my insurance company. Today around 3:45 PM, I called the office back and told them to go ahead and cancel my appointment because of the insurance issue. Then, at almost 5:00 PM, they called me back regarding my daughters' appointments and told me there was now an insurance issue with them as well. I was informed that because my daughters have MetLife HMO listed as their primary dental insurance, their Public Aid/BCBS would not cover the visit. They told me I needed to contact MetLife and have my daughters removed from that plan. My issue is this: Why was I being told this less than 24 hours before their appointments? The authorization employee told me that they only verify insurance the day before appointments. But that doesn't make sense because someone from your office had already called me earlier this week about my insurance. If someone was already reviewing our insurance information, why didn't anyone check my daughters' insurance at the same time? Had they called me earlier in the week about my daughters instead of waiting until almost 5:00 PM the day before, I would have had more time to try to resolve the issue. I work in healthcare myself, and we contact patients well in advance when there are insurance problems so they have a fair opportunity to fix them before their appointments. Waiting until the last minute is not good patient care. To make matters worse, the authorization employee became argumentative. She told me that 24 hours was enough notice and then said, "If you work in healthcare, you should've known that." That comment was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. Patients should not be blamed for an office's failure to communicate insurance issues in a timely manner. When I first scheduled these appointments, I provided all of our insurance information, including my UnitedHealthcare dental coverage and my daughters' insurance information. I even mentioned the MetLife plan over the phone. The first scheduler told me I could simply bring my insurance cards to the appointment. Then after my original appointments were canceled, I had to provide all of our insurance information again when I rescheduled. Looking back, that should have been a red flag. After the conversation, I asked the authorization employee for her name. She refused to provide it. I then asked for her supervisor's name and the corporate office phone number. She claimed there wasn't a phone number and that there was only an email address. She placed me on hold for about 20 minutes, never came back to the line, and someone eventually picked up and hung up on me. I called back and spoke with someone named Ava. I calmly explained that I wanted the supervisor's name and the name of the employee I had just spoken with. Instead of answering my questions, Ava ignored what I was asking and said they were closing and could only take a message. I reminded her it was only 5:08 PM and the office wasn't supposed to close until 6:00 PM. She then placed me on hold, disconnected the call, answered again when I called back, said, "We're closed," and hung up on me. After that, no one answered my calls. I was never given the authorization employee's name, the supervisor's name, or the corporate contact information I repeatedly requested. Between canceling appointments at the last minute, failing to verify insurance in a timely manner, blaming the patient, refusing to identify staff members, and repeatedly hanging up on me, this was one of the most unprofessional experiences I've had with a healthcare office. Families arrange work schedules and childcare around these appointments. Patients deserve better communication and better treatment than this.

I called because our 7 yo has ever never been to the dentist, everytime we made an appointment he was terrified. I think he has a cavity. I asked basic questions, explained it was our first time etc. The receptionist, Cassidy, that I spoke to before 10a on July 28th - rudely asked "Why hasn't you taken him to the dentist?" She asked about my insurance, maybe she assumed we didn't have any - and said it would "need to be paid upfront." Ok. I also see that they have the child in the room alone - no parents, which I expressed that this is not something we would ever do ; I've seen other reviews mention this, as did other mom friends, and even they seem to think it unnecessary and strange. She was rude, unprofessional, lacks decorum - and I told her this ; she then hung up on me. I called back, since I had asked for the spelling of her name and manager's name as this was happening - Amanda would be in on Monday I was told after I called back after she hung up. I could care less what your personal opinion may be, have some tact, be courteous - I will never bring my child here, and be sure to tell every mother in my area and the PTA about this prejudiced and unacceptable interaction. I've never called an establishment for preliminary information and questions as a potential customer and been treated this way. It's odd. I would reconsider who you have as the face of your business, as customer interaction is key.
