I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brilliant Endodontics and Dr. Bahrani. I was extremely nervous and anxious about having a root canal, but from the moment I scheduled my appointment, I felt completely taken care of. They were able to get me in the very next day, provided a clear quote with my insurance information beforehand so I knew exactly what my out-of-pocket cost would be, and the entire team was kind, patient, and reassuring. The assistant was amazing, and Dr. Bahrani made the entire procedure feel easy and stress-free. The root canal itself was quick, completely painless, and I never once felt judged for my anxiety or fears. They truly went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and cared for. I would highly recommend Brilliant Endodontics to anyone who needs treatment or is nervous about the process. This office is exceptional! read more

Received a referral to this practice from my dentist. Be prepared for an AI bot to answer your call. Bot was unable to get my name right after repeating it 3 times. Not a good first impression. Better off just having people leave a voicemail/message. Ended up hanging up on the bot. Unable to speak to the quality of their care as I wasn't able to make an appointment. read more

The only time I had a little discomfort was when they had to take pictures and placed a plastic sensor holder under my tongue. I think that saying a lot being they did 2 root canals in 2 days. The staff were extremely nice & the dentist seemed to be extremely friendly and thorough. I'd give them a five star rating read more

Great experience both times I needed a root canal. Professional but fun, Bahrani keeps you relaxed and elated while performing tasks. Would recommend to all!! read more

Everyone was so nice and friendly. The doctor made sure she told you what was going to take place. She also made sure that you were not in pain and all was going well. read more

My experience with Dr. Bahrani & her staff at Brilliant Endodontics is nothing but positive. The entire team from receptionist to billing to dental assistants, procedure staff, and Dr. Bahrani are courteous, empathetic, and knowledgeable. My wife and I both had unplanned endodontic issues arise within two months of each other and experienced similar experiences with this practice. With my wife's experience, which was more severe from the dental perspective, Dr. Bahrani, adjusted her schedule to get her treated same day because of the significance of the issue. What I appreciate about Dr. Bahrani is her concern in my case was my significant and complex medical issues that exist before my dental issues. She gathered all the required information from other providers to provide the best possible solution for procedure anesthesia given limitations based on my medical conditions. I have heard from friends and family the horror stories of root canals and the pain and suffering from other endodontists. Dr. Bahrani's empathy in every step of the process from beginning to end was extraordinary if I had slightest wince she would not proceed until I was completely numb and comfortable. I had soreness but that is expected and that lasted less than 24 hours. The billing aspect is exceptional as well. Her staff, appropriately, bills for the services at the time of service because dental insurance is one of the most crazy and unique calculations, but within 24 hours of receiving the insurance payment credits you back with the difference. Additionally, I sincerely appreciate Dr. Bahrani and her staff doing the work of becoming a Delta Dental Premier provider which makes my life easier financially. Lastly, the ability to call, email, or text the practice with concerns is such an asset to get all things accomplished throughout the process is another helpful and beneficial aspect. Again, five stars for the entire practice and each member of the team. read more

I had a root canal performed here in 2021. Dr. Bahrani talked me into using the GentleWave that is suppose to clean/remove the root system better than the manual way. It was also an up charge and cost more. Procedure was quick and painless. After a few months I started having issues with the tooth. I went back in to be reevaluated but she said everything looked good and prescribed a round of antibiotic. I ended up losing a ton of weight due to my second round of antibiotics for this tooth. I again went back in for a second evaluation and she did a cone beam scan, charging me for it, and again said everything looked fine that maybe I had a fracture and I should have the tooth pulled. I have been having issues for years, unsure of what to do with the tooth, when I finally decide to have it retreated by a new dentist. Dr. Rogers, with Best Endodontics was able to find the issue. The GentleWave didn't even touch the root tip! He had to go in and clean all the root ends up! He spent significantly more time than the previous doctor. Please stay clear of GentleWave unless you want to be out a lot of money in the long run. read more

Dr. Bahrani has done 2 root canals with wonderful results. Even other dentists/endodontists have complimented the quality of the work

I have a true fear of the dentist. I went here to get a double root canal. I was extremely nervous and was so concerned. But the staff made me feel comfortable , they encouraged me throughout the process, and understood why I would be nervous. I enjoyed it there and would go again ! read more

The office and team were professional and buttoned up around consult and collecting money and got me in right away for the pain post crown. They said they needed to test but immediately said root canal for $1500. Novacaine failed so when she went to drill I had ridiculous pain, so asked for more shots and was told it's just how it's going to be and need to work through it. Literally had to plead for another shot and yet again didn't work when she drilled - she would have kept going despite my agony until I got up and said no more if she couldn't control the pain. She appeared frustrated at first but then said of course don't want you to be in pain. Not the bedside manner I think anyone wants for a root canal. Disastrous experience and categorically don't recommend going there for anything. read more

Wonderful experience with a root canal through a crown !! I was very nervous!! It went extremely well !!!Thank you Dr Bahrain and staff!!

I want to first start off with, I usually don't write reviews. I was completely turned off by this whole interaction. First, I arrive at the facility and was given a consent form for a mandatory billing at the end of the appointment for a CBCT for my daughter's tooth without even being seen. My consult would be covered by insurance, but that I had to have my 12 year-old daughter get a CBCT that was $275. When making this appointment I was not told about this mandatory Exam. I asked reception what scans would be done, as I had already had x-rays emailed to the facility. She told me that there would only be a CT. I reluctantly signed the consent and was going to continue with the consultation. When we were called back, I was then told that my daughter would go to the back to get her scans done. I again questioned what scans would be done, and was told that she would receive a CT and another set of x-rays. I again wanted to clarify that I was just told five minutes prior that she would only be getting a CT. I was then told that per office policy x-rays needed to be done for their own records and special X-rays that highlighted only the affected tooth would be completed . I again was hesitant but allowed for my daughter's mouth to be scanned. I was walked back into an exam room and questions were asked about the reason for our visit. I expressed my frustration with the lack of communication and different employees telling me multiple different procedures that my daughter would have to undergo. When the doctor came in, she was pleasant at first. She told me that she would get my daughter's tooth fixed, and that I can schedule an appointment to get it done after the one minute consultation. I then asked a question about the possibility of an implant needed, as I was told by the pediatric dentist that referred me , that that may have been a possibility. I know nothing about dentistry and so when I stated my question and the dental assistant that accompanied the doctor laughed as if I had asked a dumb question, I was even more thrown off. The doctor then started to speak to me as if I was a child. She was very condescending in her answer to me about why an implant would not be needed or necessary in this situation. I then questioned why my daughter needed to have multiple x-rays as well as a CT done on her. She condescendingly answered again, saying that this was a specialty facility and they needed to get an exam on the one tooth that needed repair. She began to explain the difference between x-ray and CT as if I had no idea what I was talking about. I work as a nurse myself and was well aware of the harm that can be done with radiation exposure which was why I kept questioning why she needed repeated exams. I at this point was completely appalled at the treatment that I had received. When walking out of the exam room with the doctor I then asked if I can get a copy of the CT images. She was very aggressive in replying "you can have whatever you want those are your exams". I then went to the reception area to pay the $275 and was asked by the office manager how my experience was. I was hesitant to answer her because I was so upset. She told me that she was wanting my honest opinion, and so I told her everything that had bothered me about this appointment and employees. Needless to say, I did not schedule for the procedure. I then called another facility who stated that they usually don't require CT mouth exams on children under the age of 18. This upset me even more because she was able to get the procedure done at another facility without the exposure to radiation. The office manager did apologize but I hope in hearing my honest review about the lack of communication to me and the treatment this provider gave me that this doesn't happened to anyone else. read more

I just had my root canal done today and I have to say, this was one of the best dental experiences I have ever had. This was a root canal! Dr. Bahrani is one of the best doctors I've ever had. She explained clearly the work they were doing, what I could expect during the procedure, and made sure to go over what to expect for my recovery. This was refreshing. A common issue I run into with any health related treatment is the lack of explanation and clarity around the care that I am receiving. Dr. Bahrani takes the time to explain the plan and addressed any questions and concerns I had. Great staff, nice office, and a doctor who is very knowledgeable, experienced and genuinely cares. I highly recommend their services. read more

Going to the dentist usually gives me anxiety but this office & doctor exceeded my expectations! Beyond impressed with the mannerism & how caring this doctor is. I wish Dr.Bahran was my general doctor! Thank you for helping me out and I highly highly recommend this doctor! 5 out of 5!!!! read more

Great Great Great experience, beautiful service, very nice equipments (Massage chairs!!) and great work by Dr. Bahrani. if I ever need another root canal, I would go back without a second thought. Very recommended. read more

The office staff and doctor were fantastic. Despite having to have dental work done, this was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable experiences I've had. Their concern was above and beyond and even called the next morning to see how I was doing. I would highly recommend this office and doctor. read more

I am so amazed with just the injection alone!!! I am the worst patient when it comes to injections. So many thanks for a wonderful experience and pain free service!!! Beautiful staff, cleanliness, and the best endodonics root canal specialist!!! I'd go back just to get a prior injection if I had to have an general dentist appointment. Thanks for being the best read more

The staff was all extremely nice and professional. Dr. Bahrani explained everything in sufficient detail. She was very clear and kind in her discussions and took her time with me. In the waiting room, there is a monitor with reruns of Seinfeld (with captions). The chairs where you get the work done are massaging chairs! Not deep tissue things but very relaxing (and you are asked if you want it turned off, another example of customer orientation). Also, in the treatment rooms, there is, again, a monitor with Seinfeld reruns with captions. This is a place that is both highly technically competent (as told to me by another dentist who should know) AND is very focused on the client and recognizes the client is the customer. I really thought it was a great experience and would normally say I hope to be back soon but..... read more

Dr. Bahrani is a 5-star endodontist. She explains the plan carefully, and her skill in getting an unpleasant task accomplished is masterful. I would recommend her to all my friends. read more

Absolutely the best place to go to for root canals. I was so very nervous but Dr. Bahrani was wonderful and very professional. I was referred to her by my dentist and had 2 root canals done on two separate appointments. Her team made me feel at ease. They have Netflix playing, soft music and a massage chair. I have never gotten any dental work while getting a massage and it's not too hard. Just right. I haven't had any complications with my teeth after the procedures. I recommend her if you are in the area. She is the best. read more

Brilliant Endodontics - Brilliant Endodontics after my 2nd root canal ! - Endodontists Near Me - Libertyville, Illinois

I had a root canal procedure at Brilliant Endodontics. The staff is very competent, equipment is state-of-the-art and my dentist was absolutely the best! I highly recommend it to anyone needing to have procedures. read more

Everyone was very friendly. They took all the precautions necessary during COVID. They explained everything they were going to do before doing it. I was extremely pleased with the whole experience. Dr Zayneb E. Bahrani was great! Thank you for all you do!! read more

Dr. Bahrani went above and beyond to save a a mostly-decades tooth. Rather than pulling, she was determined to safely complete a very challenging root canal. It took a second appointment (no, no extra charge), but I arrived back home grateful overflowing that my mouth in that area was still in one piece - smile lookin' mighty fine! All staff are remarkable too. Communication is wonderful. Dr. Bahrani even called me at home to check up on me. read more

I was very upset. Did not believe how bad my experience was. The doctor did tests on me to determine which tooth it was. I always thought that's what xrays were for. She froze my tooth and took a metal instrument to clang on it. I have a small mouth so they had to keep mouth open with some black plastic apparatice. Then she determined herself which tooth it was. Then she numbed me up. I was in the chair for at least 90 minutes. I asked for antibiotics but she gave me medrol dose pack instead. It should have been both. Then I ended up in the ER with a infected tooth and infected salivary gland. I was in excruciating pain and still no anibiotics so I went to the accute care and he gave me pain meds and antibiotics. I could not open my mouth to eat anything that was not mushy, such as baby food, pudding, yogurt etc., This went on for about 2 months, then the same tooth cracked and they said go to oral surgeon and get it pulled. Refereal doc I refused to go to. I waited until my dental insurance kicked in again in January to have it pulled by another oral surgeon. read more

My experience at Brilliant Endo was outstanding from the evaluation to the follow-up. They were very clear on the charges prior to evaluation and treatment. Dr. Bahrani explained exactly what she was doing and the pain was minimal. If I need another RCP, I will be returning. read more

Dr. Bahrani and her staff were amazing. I immediately felt the confidence of both the doctor and her staff handling my case. It was easy to get an appointment and the procedure scheduled. During the procedure, I was nervous but she had various techniques to relieve the tension I was feeling. (Massage chairs, friends playing on. Netflix (who doesn't like old Friends episodes?!). My tooth feels great and I would highly recommend her. wish she could be my dentist, orthodontist and general doc! She is amazing! read more

Surprised to see the other reviews, but we had very unpleasant experience here. We went there after Dr. Yang's reference for redo the root canal and we had to spend ~$1000 for one tooth, but still unfixed. Finally they came up with some new crack in the tooth which was not there before even in the recent Xray or the CTscan. Now we have to extract the same tooth which they want us to go back to the previous dentist who referred us to here. Very unprofessionally they have not even informed us the cost of the procedure in advance especially when it was not covered in the insurance. They given estimate for something else and did some other procedure and billed me for that. Also they are added some optional procedure which also is not covered in any insurance and when we asked for sending that in email so that we can check with insurance, then only they confirmed the specific procedure(Gentlewave) is optional and luckily we saved from that. I still think they could have properly assessed the condition well before when they had taken the CTscan and Xray itself and properly advised us to extract it instead of intentionally doing all expensive treatment on an unrepairable tooth. This is either because they are incompetent or part of a strategy. I have also seen similar concern from many old feedbacks that they hide the cost and give you surprises and I strongly believe this is their strategy - Beware read more

The people were kind and did a lot to alleviate my fears. The treatment was totally painless. Couldn't be happier.

Truly a compassionate professional place. I was in a great deal of pain and everyone was calm and welcoming. The facility is state of the art as well. Here is the best part. The doctor called me the next day to ask how I was. She is truest an old school professional. I had an infection to take care of and two root canals. While I hope I need no more, I will come back here if I do. I had light sensitivity and they had shaded glasses for me. The chairs have massage ability and many more pleasant surprises. Rates were reasonable as well compared to a prior root canal I had in Gurnee. read more

The best! Kind, caring staff. Easy-to-understand explanations of what's happening. They even have comedy TV and massage chairs to help relieve patient anxiety. Expensive consultation, but excellent practice. read more

If I could give 0 star I will go for that . If you have been referred here , run !! This practice will go for all the things ha that are not covered by most of insurance even for consultation! I paid around 300$ +insurance for consultation only which I already knew before going to this office since I was in acute pain after temporary crown ! Toot canal was the only way ... the staff and the Dr baharani both were equally rude even when I was in tears at their office since I was in acute pain ! You would have trust issues with this Dr... I didn't go for this office even after consultation fees of 400+ something simply because I couldn't really place my trust on such money minded people! Only god knows if they started my treatment they could keep adding more surprises! I was told that I have been prescribed steroids that will bring me in my right mind before they could root canal! I really found this office very disgusting!!! read more

I've had several root canals over the years. Dr Bahrani was the best. She was always on time, very concerned about my comfort and was very efficient. Would recommend highly. read more

Dr Bahrahni, and her office manager Denise are some of the most unscrupulous individuals to deal with. First of all I went to her as a referral. I tried to get a pre-authorization for my insurance but was unable. I was given a preliminary EOB of the charges and what the insurance company should cover. I went in for what I thought was a root canal. There is a procedure called a CBCT- Endo that cost $356 which was a 360° image of my mouth and was COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY! In fact, the doctor received my x-rays which clearly showed the need for the root canal. So why did I need that procedure? My guess is pure profit margin. The next scam was being charged $147 for a consultation. The consultation consisted of me being told by Dr Bahrani that she was performing a root canal on me, same day, 5 min conversation at best! The last piece of work was she went in for the root canal and was saw there was an infection on the floor of the tooth and the root canal could no longer be completed. So the bottom line is I was charged $808 for a procedure that was never completed. I would let anyone know that was to use Dr. Bahrani to make sure that they have a written pre-authorization and know EXACTLY what their insurance provider will cover. She is very sly in slipping in unnecessary procedures! I would have give 0 Stars if that was an option. Robert R read more

I wish dr. Bahrani was my dentist! Heck even my doctor!! She made my attempt at a root canal comfortable. I was having horrible anxiety from the time i walked in the door. She made sure to explain everything she was going to do before she did it. We could not do the root canal because my tooth/nerve would not get numb. So we had to stop and reschedule. I felt faint/dizzy and she provided some orange juice and just let me take my time instead of rushing me out the door. I dread goin back to get a root canal. But i am glad she is the one doing the procedure!. She is patient and understanding and is definitely caring of her patients.....Her staff was awesome as well! This is definitely one of the good ones! If you have to option to go to her, definitely do so. read more

Can't say enough about this doctor.. Spectacular! Was honest and caring and personally called my normal dentist to go over what she found. So easy to talk to and understand! She easily could have just done a root canal, and even gotten me to do another one (had second tooth w issues). Instead, she had integrity and has come up w a good plan with my dentist to hold off for now and see what happens as she wasn't 100% convinced that a root canal would fix my issue. Staff was good too, right on time and was very friendly. read more

Dr. Bahrani and her team were amazing. I was a new patient and she got me right in. Their attention to detail and getting to know me was greatly appreciated. The facility is state of the art and considering my procedure, it was a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend Brilliant Orthodontics!!! read more

First I want to say Dr. Bahrani did excellent work and I have no issue with that. However, beware of the upsell. I needed root canal therapy for a re infected tooth. I did the Gentle Wave, an upsell, which cost $250 out of my pocket. I was warned about it. Then there was the Cone Beam CT. This is an upsell. Although my insurance denied it, they said the negotiated rate was $182 but the dentist's office said no, since its denied we don't need to follow that according to Illinois law. They charged me $275. Then there was an unspecified procedure for $25, maybe Covid stuff? Just another way to make up the difference with the negotiated insurance rates on the normal stuff. Bottom line is always ask " is this covered by my insurance". I will learn from this mistake for sure. Once again let me state that the work done by Dr. Bahrani is excellent, just not happy with the extra, not covered gotcha's. I called my insurance beforehand to verify she was in network and figured I was good. Also, they required full payment of my estimated portion at the time of service. read more

I just came back from a root canal with Dr. Bahrain. I was very nervous about the procedure and she took great care of me. I highly recommend her. I never sat in a dentist chair that had a massage. The office is very high tech and professional. Thank you for taking away my anxiety and getting me through the procedure. read more

Dr. Bahrani was wonderful. She's kind, efficient, and did a great job! She explained everything she was going to do, and was honest. The entire staff is very friendly, and it was a great experience overall. Not that I wish to do another root canal but if I had to, I'd definitely see her again! read more

Recently my wife been send for root canal re-treatment to that office. Office is very clean sute, and located in convinience location, medical personal was very friendly, and most important, the doctor is very professional and kind woman. In fact she saved us time and money by doing whole surgery in one appointment. In the end, we got follow up medicine and even little present. My wife did not have any post surgery issues, means job was done clean and complete! I would recommend this doctor to my friend! read more
