I FOUND MY TOOTH FAIRIES ON EARTH and it only took my most of my adult life to do it! I originally found this office from doing a Google search for a dental office that actually had good reviews. I don't know about you, but most of my experiences at the dental office have been unpleasant. More often than not, I have felt like just another person that fills a chair with no real personal care or plan. Once I saw the great reviews for here- I booked an appointment. That was almost 4 years ago, and I haven't gone anywhere since! My very first appointment here was probably the best one I've ever had at a dentist. I had just came from a dental office where I went with a problem of bleeding gums and all I was told was that there was a mouthwash I would have to use to correct the problem.... Pretty much forever lol and then sent right out the door. It went the complete opposite here though. I first met Dr Diana Barzano and she got me right together......she was so sweet that she gave me her cell phone number in case I had any questions or issues with my mouth after she got done working on me; I had a lot of issues going on. Despite what I had going on she made me feel super safe and actually cared for. Everyone in the office is an absolute sweetheart and extremely professional and knowledgeable. Dr. Val is another one of my favorites. I started taking my young son there and he loves her too. Although he is only nine, she and everyone else is very hands-on with dealing with him, especially since he can be pretty nervous in the office. I am so glad that I found them and don't plan on going anywhere else. read more

Very professional and updated establishment. Love the hygienist and the doctor. Great and helpful staff overall.

Great staff, flexible to move my appointment to an earlier date and quick cleaning. I had to get an old filling redone as well. I don't know that I had such a relaxed experience while having work done. Dr. Valerie was so gentle and efficient. read more

I was referred to Dr. Welindt and have been extremely happy with his work, and of course the whole staff. I travel from the northern Chicago suburbs, but he is worth the visit. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs dental care! read more

Had an excellent experience with Dr. Val! She was the most gentle, fastest, and most professional dentist I've ever had. I have a fear of going to the dentist due to really awful experiences and she changed that dreadful feeling for me. Dr. Val is an asset to Exquisite Smiles! Admin and front office staff were amazing as well! read more

Great atmosphere and friendly staff members. Quick, efficient and excellent service. Makes going to the dentist easy!

I've had great care from this office for years--they are really professional and kind in every area of their practice. The new dentist, Dr. Kountz, recently put a crown on one of my molars and it was about as positive that experience can be. I highly recommend this office! read more

I broke a tooth and Exquisite Smiles was recommended to me. They were able to get me in quickly. Very professional and helpful in taking care of my dental issues. read more

Dr. Welindt is hands down the best dentist I have ever been to. Here's my story: A few years ago I lost a tooth in a traumatic experience/accident. Knowing I was about to undergo a million dentist visits, I searched for the best and found it. Dr Welindt has EXCELLENT "bedside manner." His office is modern, bright, clean, and welcoming. He and his staff are warm and professional. My visits always start on time. I can't say enough good things about them! (They also did a great job with my preschooler's first visit to the dentist!) read more

Exquisite Smiles was one of the best referrals. Everyone in this practice is friendly and professional. I referred my daughter for an emergency appointment and they were awesome. read more

Exquisite Smiles Oak Park...I have nothing but praise for Dr. Tage Welindt and the employees!! I have been going to this office for almost 50 years & continue to be impressed with the quality of services I receive here! Dr. Welindt is a kind, caring dentist who is gentle, patient and extremely professional! He keeps looking for the best solution for me. If you are looking for dentists who have your best interests and not your pocketbook in mind, choose this office! read more

Dr Burbick is the best! I went in today to get my crown completed and everything was fantastic! This appointment was the final out of a series of three appointments and I must say they were all equal in great customer service. The office itself is located in an older building but their portion has been completely redone. The waiting room is comfortable with the latest magazines and free bottles of water. I was greeted warmly by the front desk staff and then quickly brought back (before my appointment time) to begin my treatment. The dental assistant was very friendly and explained what they would be doing today. The treatment room was very clean, nice, and filled with the latest and greatest in dental technology. There office utilizes digital X-rays which I was told gives 90% less radiation than a normal traditional X-ray. Dr. Burbick proceeded to complete my crown. He was nice, funny, gave explanations, and was efficient! I give this office 5 stars all the way! Excellent care! Friendly! They are everything you want in a dental practice. Thanks to their quality care, I am actually looking forward to my next trip to the dentist! read more

This is the world class dentistry that we all dream about. Efficient (never any waiting EVER!!!!), professional, almost painless, technically state of the art (always seems to have some new digital tools and mechanical gadgets on hand, to say nothing of the normal array of medieval dental torture instruments all dentists collect). Everyone here seem to be very caring people, one and all. Dr. Burbick is the soul of confidence (he saved a tooth of mine that a high class endodontist shook his head at and said, "I'm afraid I'd just pull this one and do an implant................... (Read that as KA-CHING)") Burbick ignored that comment and seemingly, routinely, fixed the tooth and it has been fine for years now. The office staff are peaches one and all. The dental hygienists are top notch and EXTREMELY well equipped and trained (to say nothing of ALWAYS smelling great.. What else can I say? Well I'm not sure how the price here compares with other dental practices but I feel as though I've gotten my $$$$$ worth and more, if only in never worrying about my potentially disastrous outcomes............ So if I could give them 10 stars I would. Nuff said no???? Enter here with confidence. read more

The team at Exquisite Smiles is exceptional. Very friendly and always accommodating! I'd highly recommend.

Had a great appointment with Katie Turrentine last week. She is very professional, thorough and efficient. Explained what she was doing throughout the whole visit and made sure I was comfortable. One of my best appointments hands-down. Highly recommend. Also think Dr. Welindt is the best. read more

Excellent dentistry! This office gets 5 stars for their customer service, cleanliness, new and state of the art equipment, quality of dental care and prompt response to request for emergency requests. I see Dr. Burbick who is the best dentist I've ever encountered! The office staff Ann, Lynn and manager JoAnn are all so friendly and helpful as well. I highly recommend this dental clinic to anyone who is tired of poor quality dental care. read more

I love my dentist and his office staff! This place is treats you like family but better. Dr .Burbick is a great dentist! He is caring and ensures you always have the best treatment plan. Reminder calls and emails so you don't forget the a appointment that you made six months earlier and they always run on time too. If you need them, referrals to the best specialists in town. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

We are longtime clients and fans of Exquisite Smiles, and always recommend them. We welcome Doctor Candace to the practice, and find her especially compassionate and focused on the patient. We both had challenging crown work done recently, and she handled it superbly. Another star to add to the five-star team. read more

Wonderful, friendly, helpful and high skilled, they also take Delta Dental (Quality Care Dental Plan) that I use. I have worked with them for over 20 years, this is a great office. They have several DDS/DMD, and I have used Joseph Burbick and Candace D. Kountz. read more

I've been going to this practice for over 20 years. I've always been impressed by their care and consideration of their patients ... they are all about conservative, preventive, care and conserving your teeth. This dentist will not just yank first! I've had some horrible dental adventures prior to Dr. Burbick ... which is why I'm very loyal and not quick to change practices (even though I could find a dentist closer to where I live). I can't say enough good things about them. They've always been very accomodating. read more

Many years ago, I had to go through 3 dentists till I found Dr. Tage Welindt. He is not only extremely competent, but he has the best chairside manner ever, just so affable and kind. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I moved across the country almost a year ago, and I am giving a trial to my second dentist, because the first one was nothing like Dr. Welindt. When you have had the best, it's hard to go back. read more

Thank you, Dr. Burbick, for the excellent care. Always prompt, friendly & funny, he makes each dental visit a piece of cake!

After some sketchy dental work done by a previous Oak Park dentist, it was great to find Dr. Burbick. He is great and cleaned up all my issues and he is wonderful with my kids (along with all his colleagues). read more

Dr Burbick has been my dentist for more than 10 years. Over those years I have received top notch service by him and his staff. All my procedures have been pain free and the office is very clean. I feel lucky to have found such a great group! read more

Wonderful place for the family. We got cleanings and exams from Dr Burbick and he was awesome!!! My 3 year old son had his first dentist visit and surprisingly had a blast. Dr Burbik was nice friendly and patient with him. The whole staff is friendly and warm and always there to help us out. After going to a few different dentists over the past 5 years we finally found a permanent family dentist and couldn't be more happy with the work they do! Thanks again! Can't wait for our next appointments!!! read more

Dr. Burbick and his staff are always friendly, professional, and efficient. I've had some terrible experiences with dentists and Dr. Burbick is so great that I have not missed a six month appointment in 9 years. The office is clean, comfortable, and cheery. All procedures are explained thoroughly before they are performed. We are a family of six and I plan on always being a patient at this practice. read more

This dental team and my particular dentist, Dr. Weilindt make up an amazing dental practice. The whole team of dental professionals are wonderful: skilled, compassionate. patient and caring. The best dentist I've ever had and we have been seeing them for over 30 years. read more

I just had my regular check up and cleaning and wanted to share just how great this team is. State of the art dentistry, compassionate professional staff and a warm and inviting atmosphere, this is the best dental experience ever. The front desk crew is top notch, welcoming and efficient. Yesenia took my xrays and was gentle and thorough, checking more than once if I was comfortable. Sue the hygieniest did an amazing job, cleaned, polished my teeth and probed my gums, they look and feel great. Dr. Welindt reviewed all the xrays, did a complete exam and oral cancer screening and made sure I was good to go. I've been a patient for 15 plus years and they just keep getting better and better. Thank you Exquisite Smiles Oak Park for your great care! read more

I've gone here for 6+ years now and can say confidently that Dr. Welindt is knowledgeable, thorough, ethical, gentle, and personable -- all the things you'd want in a dentist. The staff are very professional - I'm a particular fan of Diana as a hygienist - and the office is really well run with great follow through about insurance, appointments, etc. They are responsive to getting you in quickly when needed and rarely if ever have I waited long once arriving for an appointment. After trying out a few dentists in the area, I feel fortunate to have found such a good practice. read more

I feel sorry for Dr. Welindt because I have never given him a chance ;) Dr. Burbick has been my dentist since my braces came off (and my kids now have braces so you have an idea of how many decades that has been). The place is bright and cheery and the staff are dim and dreary (I'm kidding!). They all seem so happy I would have suspicions if laughing gas was on the premises. I seriously dread the day when Dr. Burbick decides to hang up his mask because I love having a professional who is such a perfectionist (and has high expectations for his staff as well). My kids have always enjoyed going to the office. If there was one thing I would change about it is the cost but he's worth it. A close friend went elsewhere and her new Dentist so raved about the work in her mouth, that she decided cost-schmost and went back to him. She told me that and I have never gone elsewhere and drive an hour to get to the office. Yes, he's that good. As far as the other review that mentioned the building, it's not to my taste either, but it is on the historical buildings register because some famous modernist architect built it. I'd love to see the penthouse! If you don't LOVE your dentist, then you should give this office a try. read more

Dr. Burbick demands perfection in his dental work. I fall asleep in the dental chair, because I can trust he will always do the right thing. I have been going to him since 1978. read more

Top notch dentistry! I have been seen by Dr. Burbick and his team at Exquisite Smiles for 10+ years. My wife and I both work long hours during the week, making it difficult to accommodate the regular check-up at times. The flexibility of Dr. Burbick's office staff/team of hygienists is always able to ensure we get a weekend visit scheduled that works best for our busy schedules. Always a very comfortable experience. read more

I've been coming to Exquisite Smiles since I was a little girl. Even though I no longer live nearby, I still make the drive because of the exquisite service. Both Dr. Burbick & Dr. Welindt do a wonderful job of making their patients feel comfortable. The staff id friendly, the office is clean, & I've never had any problems with the work I've had done. I have and will continue to recommend this practice to all of my family & friends. read more

Best experience ever. My 90yo mom has had trouble removing her lower partial denture for the last few weeks. I don't know the best way to remove them, she had always done it. I was worried about inflammation. On Friday, before the holiday weekend they took me without an appointment. Everyone there is super nice and professional. The dental assistant, Sara, was amazing. He got the dentures out, cleaned them, showed me the best way to get them out.The dentist, Dr Burbick, examined her and showed me some inflammation and instructed me what to do. I cannot express how satisfied and greatful I am for this office. read more

On the morning of my bridal shower I woke up in a panic, as one of my front teeth had chipped the previous night. (My tooth chipped in February and North Pier Dental in Chicago "fixed it" twice. However, those bonding attempts quickly fell off each time.) When I called Exquisite Smiles to see if they could squeeze me in first thing that morning, I was informed they were completely booked, as only one dentist was in that day. When I explained what an important weekend it was for me, Joann told me to come in and they would see what they could do. Dr. Welindt was able to squeeze me into his very busy schedule. He was extremely friendly, as was everyone in the office. Dr. Welindt made my chipped tooth look beautiful again. And just in time for my big weekend! I will be making him my primary dr. for dental care and would gladly recommend Exquisite Smiles to anyone looking for a personable and professional dental experience. read more
