I wanted to update my review for those of you who are petrified of going to the dentist even just for a cleaning... If you want the most gentle person ever to clean your teeth, ask for Gustavo. He is amazing...... NO PAIN and nothing like those hygienists who manage to hit every nerve and like to dig into your gums. This is the 3 rd year I've asked for him and I go back every 6 mos. Would I do that if he wasn't there? NO. read more

A good experience ,doctor gave me a deep clean. It's a little bit pain, it's OK, recommend for any person need

I guess I wasn't lucky enough to get Dr. Gabriela. The doctor I had was atrocious. I am not blaming him for the condition of my teeth. They are a result of a fear of dentists going back to the 1950s. His attitude was horrid to a patient like me shaking and scared to death. The staff was kind and gentle and he undid the relaxation I began to feel. He talked to everyone BUT me as to what was happening, threw a referral to the staff and I never saw him again. Unless your teeth are in good shape or your fear isn't paralyzing don't go here. A day in fear wasted. I'm still shaking. No comfort, no understanding, no chair side manner. read more

Are you looking for a new dentist? I'm so happy I trusted the reviews here!! I recently moved to Chicago and needed to find a new dentist that I liked. Dr. Gabriela Duraes is the best!! She is very competent and friendly! Definitely worth the drive. She speaks Portuguese, Spanish and English, so accommodating! Besides the fact that the office is very clean and the staff is friendly, what caught my attention was the fact that she will explain your treatment all upfront and how much is going to cost. It definitely takes the surprise element out of the equation, right? I highly recommend coming here if you need anything related to your teeth. I'm very satisfied! read more

Dr. Duares is a great dentist! I've been coming here for slightly over 6 months after newly moving to the area a year ago. I'm a person whose had a "troubled" dental past due to generically "soft" teeth; tons of fillings (over 16 according to my last dentist), two root canals and a few crowns so I'm pretty good at detecting a good dentist. Dr. Duares is very knowledgeable. I actually had to get two crowns on my front two teeth 3 months ago due to an accident that occurred over 15 years ago that finally needed a permanent fix that I've been pushing off for a few years! In any event, she effectively did the procedure, thoroughly explaining every step of the way & the type of crowns I have. She did the same for a filing I had to have about a month & a half ago. Customer service is great here at this office! All of the staff is friendly and helpful. Dr Duares always greets you with a warm smile. She even two things distinctly different here that I never seen at the many dentist offices I've been to. When she does a cleaning or a procedure, she takes before and after pictures and shows you both afterwards which I think is great to see the difference. Also, after a cleaning, she wipes your face down with a warm damp soft towel. Not only is it relaxing but it keeps you from walking around looking like a fool with dried toothpaste and ash around your face (always a side effect of cleanings for me). The staff is very helpful with payment options if you have any out of pocket costs for any procedure. Overall, great local dentist office. read more

Blooming Smiles Dental Studio - Free gifts after each cleaning - General Dentistry Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

My husband and I could just go to an average dentist in our neighborhood but we'd rather travel 30+ minutes just to see Doctor Gabriela. Her service is amazing she is so detail oriented, very organized and always know what exactly what to do. I am so glad that I have a dentist that I can actually trust. Her office is always very clean and specially with the COVID-19 Situation they adapted very fast with all the new guidelines. The staff is also friendly and always ready to help you/answer questions that you may have. read more

I went to them to get teeth whitening trays after I moved to the area. They told me I had 4 cavities that needed to be filled and wanted me to prepay for them before I even scheduled them. I didn't believe I had any cavities as I had been to the dentist less than 4 months prior and had a clean bill of health. I went to two different dentist for second opinion later on and was told I DO NOT have any cavities and my teeth were in perfect condition. Get second options before getting your teeth messed with. read more

Dr Gabriela Duraes is the best dentist I've ever had. She is AWESOME. Everyone there is nice and friendly. I highly recommend the place. read more

I recently moved to the area and made an appointment here based on the recommendation of a neighbor. Unfortunately, Dr. Duraes was not available when I went in for a sore tooth, so I tried Dr. Akkash. On the positive side, they got me in quickly. The office staff was pleasant and Dr. Akkash had a good bedside manner. He indicated that the problem was that I had quite a bit of plaque build up around a certain tooth and suggested I schedule a full examine and cleaning, which I did. A week later, I was back. The examine was probably the most stressful dental visit of my life. I have a very small mouth, so my previous dentist would use child-size x-rays. Here they kept trying to shove full sized x-rays into my mouth, despite my gagging and discomfort. Once that was over, the dentist and hygienist proceeded to examine and clean my teeth while using three instruments in my mouth at the same time - a sucking machine, a blower, and a polisher/scraper. Plus someone's hands smelled strongly of what I believe was tobacco. It was loud and uncomfortable - but that wasn't the worst. At the end of the appointment, the dentist informed me that I had two surface cavities that need to be fixed and filled. Given that I religiously have my teeth cleaned 2x per year, I have only ever had one cavity. And now this dentist tells me I have two new ones? Needless to say, I was skeptical, so I made an appointment with my old dentist to verify. The following week, I drove over an hour and spent $200 for my long-term dentist to take a look. He advised that while I have some staining in the cracks of my teeth that have been there for years, I have no cavities, surface cavities or pre-cavities. I also needed my teeth cleaned again because they left significant tartar build-up on the back teeth. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Dr. Akkash. The Good: Easy to get an appointment The Bad: Lack of concern for patient experience/comfort Misdiagnosed read more

Ok, don't everyone take my appointments but, this team is so nice. I have the worst teeth and have horrible dentist experiences in the past. They seem to take the steps that make the customers more at ease and they do things right. I also paid out of pocket and they didn't gauge me. Highly recommended. read more

Gabi is a fantastic dentist. My family and I have been coming here for the last 8 years, for regular cleaning and also to get rid of a few cavities.

Strongly recommend. read more

Dr Gabriela and her team are amazing! It was my first time at the clinic for a cleaning which was done quickly and professionally.

Blooming Smiles Dental Studio - General Dentistry Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

I am a patient coming to Blooming Smiles Dental Studio for a while now and I am always pleased with my experience in this office. I had some bad experience in the past and would consider myself "dental phobic". Not anymore. The team is great from beginning to the end. I am always welcomed with a warm smile, both Dr Akkash and Dr Gaby are very good at explaining all the steps involved in the treatment and what the plan is going to be. They are very conservative and I like the fact that they monitor some teeth instead of over treating you. Did I mention that they also offer payment plans? Highly recommend this place for your dental needs. read more

Dr Gabriella is one of few dentists that I trust! Id have to say she is my new favorite dentist! I don't trust many giving me a shot, but i did not feel a thing when she did!

I received great customer service from the receptionist, dental assistant, dental hygienist, and Dr. Duares. As a new pt the before and after pictures were amazing. Not only do you do you see a difference from the cleaning; but Dr. Duares was able to show me the areas of concern and talk about the treatment plan. Pulling up my xrays and showing me on the large screen tv was awesome. The office looked immaculate and everyone did their best to put me at ease. Thank you everyone for a great visit! read more

The dentist herself is great... but the billing manager entered my claim wrong 3 times! After giving her my pilot number and member ID 3 times I still received a 200$ bill in the mail. The billing manager then told me she would touch base with me... but I had to call back because she didn't call me. I do not appreciate the inconvenience they caused me. Took 3 days to get it right. read more
