Very polite doctors. The business end is extremely slow. I had a visit in November to check out a…read moreproblem with a root canal and they told me they would put my procedure through to my insurance and give me a call back so I could know the total. I called back in January just to find out that they never sent it to my insurance and that they were going to send it "right now." They didn't even send the bill for my initial checkup to my insurance. I called back this month, February, and they claim that they still haven't heard back from them. I have never had to wait more than 5 days to hear back from my insurance. Almost 5 months of waiting. This is disheartening since I have something pretty serious going on with my tooth and now I have to find a new endodontist and have my records sent over to them.

Had an extremely inflamed molar and was in a ridiculous amount of pain. They were able to get me in…read morethe following morning and Dr Corns was able to start an emergency root canal immediately after imaging and seeing me. Both of his assistants are amazing and very kind and informative as well as Dr. Corns. You could immediately tell he's very good at what he does, instead of the usual numbing at a dentist that numbs your entire face he numbed only the tooth and area immediately around it and the entire root canal was completely painless. They do separate the procedure into two visits about a month apart because he said because there are much better outcomes this way. After leaving that first day my tooth was completely pain free and only had to wait two hrs before I could eat normally. My tooth felt completely back to normal in between visits and the second part was very quick and also painless. Everyone I met was extremely kind, professional, and talented. Pricing was a little less than the quote I received on the phone and in line with the other places I called around to, but most of them couldn't fit me in for weeks, and even though his schedule was full he got me almost immediately. I've always heard root canals were painful but I've felt absolutely no pain during or since the procedure. I can't recommend Dr Corns and his team enough, my only regret is that he doesn't do general dentistry or I'd have a new dentist. Their offices were nice, clean and very comfortable as well. Complete experience was a 10/10.

No shout out across the room to let someone know they are "next." (It was my first time at IDS). Their advanced preparation was obvious. A welcome screen with my name awaited with a pic of the smiling staff. VIP treatment and yet very personable - what a difference! I did not have to even pay $100 just to make the appointment. A plan was offered that was in my best interest instead of the dentist. I was the focal point, not someone who was being processed. The friendly professional banter among the staff and the cordiality was inviting. I was at home! The trust factor was through the roof! The care was thoroughly attentive and I actually cannot wait to go back! They will not ever need to send me a reminder. Thank you IDS!

ZERO STARS! DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS PLACE. In my opinion, they deserve zero stars. My experience…read morewith this office felt far more focused on billing than on patient care. I went to Ivory only because my previous dentist retired. For years I had routine six-month cleanings and was never told I needed a deep cleaning. But at my very first appointment here--scheduled for a regular cleaning--I was suddenly told I needed a deep cleaning instead. When I questioned it and asked for the routine cleaning I came in for, they refused to do it. I was told they couldn't perform a regular cleaning and that the deep cleaning was required. They reassured me repeatedly that they would work with my insurance and that it would be covered 100% because they "make sure patients don't have to pay out of pocket." After a long, frustrating discussion, I reluctantly agreed and had to schedule a separate appointment for the procedure. Then they told me I needed an 8-week checkup to see if my gums had healed and that after that I could have a normal cleaning. I went to that appointment, but when I checked out, I was suddenly told I had a 20% copay--something I had never been charged before. When I questioned it, I was casually told, "Oh, this was a peri-cleaning, not a routine cleaning." I paid it, even though I was frustrated. That was in October. Today I received a text mentioning a statement and a payment due. When I called, I was told my insurance had decided not to pay for that service at all, and that the office was "surprised." At this point, I cancelled all future appointments. Based on my experience, I would never return and will be sharing my experience so others can make informed decisions. I will be sure to let everyone I know about how this "dental" money hungry place and to stay away.

My husband and I went here last year for our yearly dental cleaning. When I called to make the…read moreappointment, I was not asked for my insurance information. I asked her if she wanted it and she told me no that they would get it when we got there. That should have been my first red flag. The insurance info is always taken ahead of time so they know what we have and what is covered as far as the cleanings and x-rays. As my husband was getting his x-rays, he had a feeling that they were doing more than what they should have that was covered under our insurance at 100%. So, he told his hygienist that she better not be doing any more than she should be that wasn't covered at 100% by our insurance and he told her that goes for my wife as well. Me and my husband both were refused to get our cleaning because they claimed that we both needed periodontal cleaning. I was told that I needed the periodontal cleaning because of the coloration that was forming on the bottom of some of my teeth. We trusted and believed Ringo and waited for the preapproval from our insurance. When it came back my husband's was rejected because he just had it done about 5 months prior to that at another dental office. From my questions to them about that they gave me the impression that the previous dental office did not do a good job on him causing him to need further work. This made me start thinking that since they knew he just had it done and that there were still issues they rightfully should have suggested that we go see and periodontist for further treatment. With this occurring it made me wonder about me. They would not say my numbers when testing my gums it was all kept secret. I then made an appointment at a different dental office and low and behold I did not need any type of periodontal cleaning just a routine one. I told my new dentist what he was going to do and he said that there are many dentists that use that as an excuse to get more work and money. We ended up getting a bill for x-rays that were not covered 100%. I have to take an antibiotic before my cleanings, so he sent in quite a number of pills in for a script because he said that he had a lot of plans for me. He wanted to charge me $50 for each tooth to smooth them out from chips. That was 4 teeth at a cost of $200. Which was not necessary. He tries to sell you on false information on our teeth. There was an older lady there that said to my husband that she had no idea on some of the information that he told her. He wishes that he knew how dishonest Ringo was because he would have informed her. I do not recommend this office. STAY AWAY!!!!

Crown Point is…read moremuch closer for us, but they were able to accommodate back to back appointments sooner in Dyer and my girls are used to going to the dentist together. I chose ADC because of their stellar reviews and motto of providing, "The softer side of dentistry." To say my girls have anxiety at the dentist is a major understatement! If I could give them 10 stars, I would. The receptionists were very helpful, gracious and understanding. Christy, the hygienist who worked with us, was incredibly patient, gentle and accommodating. She even offered my youngest a dentist figurine to squeeze because she was so nervous. She went above and beyond my expectations with how caring and professional she was. Dr. Koveck was also very thorough and considerate. Even the rest of the staff we briefly met were very friendly and welcoming. As a mom of kiddos with special needs, their sensory challenges can be very stressful. Advanced Dental Concepts did a stellar job and I can't thank them enough! I even convinced my dentist-phobic husband to make an appointment. That, in itself, shows what a great experience we had.
