This dental practice is BRILLIANT. I was kindly talked into flossing better, had the loveliest cleaning, and was given a VERY thorough explanation of spots to look out for. Dr. Villari is friendly and kind; her entire staff is delightful. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. There aren't enough stars to do them justice! read more

Ovation Dental - General Dentistry Near Me - River Forest, Illinois

I just finished a very long and very over-due round of treatment including a deep clean, a crown, and two fillings and I'm so happy with this dental practice! Each staff member is kind, welcoming, supportive, and very good at their job!! I have TMJ + anxiety issues so dental work can be stressful and tricky for me, but this team was amazing! They talked me through each step, gave me breaks, we're so gentle. I'm so glad I switched. I loved my old dentist office, but I could never get an appointment, and cleanings were fully booked out over 6 months. I scored an appointment here just two weeks ahead, and then all my treatment visits were super easy to schedule. Super and quiet clean clinic. Reasonable rates (I'm self pay for dental) and they offer a discount program. Great work, Team Ovation!! read more

Highly recommend Ovation Dental! Dr. Villary was excellent and Magali gave me one of the best, most gentle cleanings I've ever had. The whole staff is wonderful, from the moment you enter the office to your way out! Highly recommend this office for all your dental care!! 10/10! read more

Ovation Dental in New West delivers exceptional customer service and professionalism. They not only do the job right but go above and beyond to ensure clients leave happy.

Very professional, clean and helpful. Nice knowledgeable staff. Updated office and equipment. Easy parking.

Beautiful, clean office. Prompt. Dr. Villari is warm, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Her staff is the same. I highly recommend Ovation Dental. read more

Ovation Dental - Peaceful view from the chair. Warm, clean setting. - General Dentistry Near Me - River Forest, Illinois

I've been going here since 2014, along with my husband. However, the new dentist, Dr Bici, gave me one of the worst medical experiences of my life. While doing a filling, she dug through my molar, destroying most of the surface. This was to 'open up and see what's inside'. The drill touched my tooth's nerve, and I started crying hysterically. Instead of calming her patient down, Dr Bici yelled that she can't work like this, gave me a temporary filling, and lectured me on how things used to be so much worse and I should stop crying. She then marched me out with a partially exposed root, told me to find another dentist who 'can handle your extreme anxiety', and then kicked me sobbing in pain out of her office. As an individual with MDD, I do not find this cavalier comments about anxiety helpful or constructive. It was hurtful, demeaning, and patronizing. And now, after years of seeing Dr Villari, I and my family no longer have a dentist. read more

Great office, everyone is super welcoming. Dr. Bici is very gentle- had some dental work done with her and didn't feel a thing. Billing was also straightforward and no surprises. read more

Courtney is the best! I have a mouth full of crowns and veneers which I have had for twenty years. Sometimes I crack a veneer and my anxiety shoots through the roof because in the past I would end up without a tooth for days! Thankfully Courtney works with me and let's me get into the office as soon as possible. Last week I broke a veneer 2 hours before I was supposed to leave for a 3 day work trip. I got a hold of Ovation Dental and they got me fixed up same day! They saved me from an embarrassing toothless work trip. Thank you!!!!!!! read more

I don't hate dentists because of pain or being scared. This dentist did a great job of making sure I never felt pain. The reason I hate dentists is because every time I go I feel like I'm dealing with a used car salesman. There is always something wrong with a tooth, or there is always "one more thing" to deal with on a treatment plan. This place is no exception. My first visit they commented on how few of things there were to do in my mouth. I had a few cavities, and needed a crown on 1 tooth. Well, I of course wanted to schedule to have all of it done, so I got it all done. Before it was all finished I needed a few more things done. The list kept growing and growing. Well they told me I needed something called a "buildup" on one of my teeth to prepare it for a crown. They told me the price after insurance, and I agreed. They did the procedure. 3 months later I get a bill in the mail. It turns out my insurance denied the procedure. The dentist now called and said I'm on the hook for $280. I agree with the other Yelpers. The dentist is good, but the billing and administration is terrible. read more

Great place! Called for a last min emergency appointment in the morning and they got me right in before the listed office hours showed them as open. Could not have been more professional and accommodating. Like many others, I've had bad experiences with other dentists... there were no red flags here. Transparent and straightforward on both my teeth and the money. Lisa is awesome. Whatever she's making she needs a big ol raise. Never lose her!! Dr V is great, very clear communication and gentle while drilling out my teeth. It was really clear they cared a great deal about me as a person, didn't want me to experience pain, and took a lot of steps to make sure that their entire operation was top notch. read more

I had a great experience at Ovation dental during my recent visit with Dr. Bici. She takes the time to sit down with you and listen to your concerns. As somebody who hadn't seen the dentist in many years and has anxiety, she was wonderful at calming me down and making me feel at ease. She used some amazing breathing techniques and even put spa music for me. Her staff is equally wonderful, they worked with me in breaking down my treatment in phases and working with me on the finances. Even though nobody is excited to go see the dentist, I can say that I found myself a great dentist and I am in good hands. I will recommend to family and friends. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Villari's since her previous office, and with her new office I figured I should write a review so other people can know how great she is and how nice the new office is as well. Located on Madison St. across from Molly Malone's, the new office is painted in earthy, welcoming colors. The reception area has an area for kids to play. The room where my teeth were cleaned looked like it could be a dining room in a nice home, save for the dentist chair in the middle. A large flat screen TV adorns the wall, and the light in here wasn't the typical bright fluorescent variety often found in dental offices. This is all nice, because it reflects the personality of the dentist I went to visit, Dr. Courtney Villari. She's a kind, helpful person who is very good about being thorough, patient, and communicating any issues. I've been to a few other dentists, and this is easily the best experience (and least painful) of all of them. If you're new to town or looking to switch dentists, I highly recommend giving Ovation Dental a chance. read more

My daughter and I have been here a couple of times and we both have been very happy with the visits. Dr. Villari is great with children & pre-teens. My daughter, like most children, absolutely hates going to see the dentist. She's had some pretty upsetting visits so her fear is understandable. The staff at Ovation made her feel at home immediately, and helped her to calm down. Parents aren't allowed with the children during their treatment, which I don't mind. I think it helps the kids so they won't see parents being anxious and kick up their own anxiety level. There is a huge plasma screen tv up on the ceiling for the kids to look at (my daughter was watching "Spongebob Squarepants") while they are being treated. Once their x-rays have been done and they have been treated, a member of the staff will bring you back to your child's treatment room to speak to Dr. Villari. Dr. Villari is very knowledgeable and wants to make sure you understand what has been done and what may need to be done in the future. She also makes sure your child is aware of what may need to be done in the future, and how to keep their teeth healthy. I had previously been told that my daughter needed braces ASAP (by another dentist), and her father and I were about to shell out a ton of money for them. I decided to get a second opinion, and boy am I glad I did! Dr. Villari informed me that it would make no sense to get my daughter braces now, as she still had about 14 more baby teeth to lose. I was shocked that the other dentist was going to basically rob us, knowing that we would wind up having to get braces, and then have the braces removed and placed on again for my daughter as a result of losing all of those baby teeth. Dr. Villari showed serious concern about my daughter's dental health, and for that I will remain forever grateful. Because of this, I too became a patient of Dr. Villari's. Upon leaving, my daughter was given a goodie bag, and a staff member played a "spin the wheel and win a prize" game and my daughter won a cute prize. All of Dr. Villari's staff (dental assistants and front desk staff members) are very pleasant people. Even though I have a lot of dental work that needs to be done and I am not looking forward to it, I do look forward to having Dr. Villari do it as I know that she will take great care of my teeth. There is a small parking lot in the back; at the moment, there is a lot of construction on Madison Street. Other than the parking lot, you can park on the side street (Ashland); when the construction is complete, there is also plenty of street parking on Madison. read more

The Ovation dental team is amazing. The hygienist, Lisa, and Dr. Villari keep you informed about what's happening before, during and after every procedure. They check in with your throughout the procedure to make sure you're doing OK. Lisa is also amazing at verifying all insurance information prior to the procedure to estimate the costs ahead of time. The office is very welcoming and relaxing. It's how I would want my own house designed! The entire team is very welcoming, personable and clearly knowledgeable. I've only been going for a short time, but I've already had three appointments to improve work done by a previous dentist. I'm so glad I chose Ovation and plan to be a long-time customer. read more

Look everybody you will not find a better dentist than Ovation Dental. They have the most updated technology you could imagine. It's an experience you won't find anywhere else. My mother used to drag me to the dentist with my heels dug into the concrete. Now I cannot wait to get there. C'mon give Dr Frankenstein the boot and call Ovation dental. Just the best... read more

A little pricey but Dr. Villari was AWESOME! She was so down to earth, honest, and smart. Her front office assistant was extremely sweet. I had a great experience. read more

I was scheduled for my wonderful routine cleaning visit. Dr. Villari was amazingly supportive and positive, as usual and she gave a coherent professional explanation of my treatment plan. The music used in the office is calming and it is apparent it was carefully selected in extremely good taste. I is truly a shame that anyone would rate this dental practice anything less than 5 stars without experiencing what a uniquely gifted, competent Dentist Dr. Villari really is..., (J.M. and Jeff W.) if you need Botox go to your dermatologist. read more

I was left on hold for 7 minutes while waiting to see what the price of a root canal and removal of wisdom teeth would be. They also try and sell their own insurance and don't want to accept yours. My cousin who lives nearby and was willing to take me here, recommended this place for its great reviews. Sorry that I will have to disagree...but first impressions are everything and this practice wasn't interested in treating new patients well. No thanks. I'll stay in the city. read more

I had the best experience at Ovation Dental today, I am always nervous going to the dentist but Dr. Vallari and the assistants made my appointment actually enjoyable. The entire staff is warm, comforting, welcoming, they made me feel completely at ease. I went in for a cleaning and ended up needing a filling replaced from years ago. Twenty painless minutes later, the process was finished. Ovation Dental will exceed your expectations and then some making you feel like you are the number one priority. Dr. Vallari and the hygienist Michelle praised my teeth and literally did not have a negative thing to say which was so reassuring. Such a relief knowing I have found my forever dentist and I would (and will) recommend OD to anyone looking for a new dentist. They work with people of all ages and were so great with me I can't imagine how great they are with kids :) read more

Dr. Villari is hands down the best dentist we have ever been to. I have been very impressed with Dr. Villari, Lisa, her assistants, and the entire staff at Ovation Dental. They are friendly, professional, compassionate and did an AMAZING job filling the cavity of my 4 year old son. Their positive energy and sense of humor made my son feel at ease and he actually has a good time every time he comes. They have state of the art technology, the office is decorated beautifully and the music is relaxing. Thank you for the wonderful experiences here and my husband will see you soon! read more

Ovation Dental - Dahani getting his cavity filled. - General Dentistry Near Me - River Forest, Illinois

This review is grossly over due. After parting ways with my former dentist due to his unconventional practices, I was left with the task of finding another dentist. I saw that Ovation Dental had may positive reviews on Yelp, so I decided to have my son try them out for a cleaning. I followed suit scheduling a cleaning of my own, followed by a slew of many treatments. The staff has always been very pleasant. Dr. Villari is a sweetheart and very knowledgeable on the latest dental technology. The exam rooms are very comfy. with many equipped with flat screen TV's and chandeliers. I highly recommend Dr. Villari and her wonderful team at Ovation Dental. read more

I have always had wonderful care at Ovation Dental. I'm easy going, but my son and my sister are both traumatized by dentists. Well, I should say they WERE traumatized. That was remedied by the careful and kind staff at Ovation Dental. Everyone there is so nice and gentle and honest, that we will never go anywhere else again. Not only do they make you feel at ease, but they do a great job, too. I can't recommend them enough. read more

I just have to put this put this out there, If you are looking for a dentist and live in the OP/RF/FP area, Dr. Villari at Ovation Dental is amazing! I had to take my 4 year old in for an emergency last week and they got her in in under an hour as a NEW Patient. That never happens! We went back today for her crown and again, an amazing experience. She and her staff were so patient with her and explained everything to her so she was scared. It was great! I can now safely say that we have found our new family dentist. read more

If you're in the River Forest, Forest Park, Oak Park or surrounding areas this is dentist to go to. I almost don't want to write the review before this hidden gem is discovered and I can't get my great appointments but they deserve it! I actually found this dentist on Yelp and was pleased to know that it is a two minute walk from my home and they took my insurance. Dr. Villari, Matt, Lisa and the entire crew are very personable. Each time I go for an appointment I'm always greeted by name. You can tell they really have a genuine interest in you and you're not just another number. I'm extremely satisfied with Ovation Dental and I wouldn't choose anywhere else. read more

My husband and I just started coming here and we are both very happy with their service. I've had a variety of procedures done ranging from a deep cleaning to having a wisdom tooth removed. Every visit has gone smoothly and they have honestly helped me overcome the terrible fear I had of the dentist. I love their text appointment reminders because I always loose those little cards. The whole staff is friendly and professional, I really am glad I found them. I can't wait to convince my dad to come see them. read more

Dr. Villari is an amazingly caring and personable dentist. She is wonderful with children and goes out of her way to make sure you're satisfied. Her attention to customer service is excellent. Highly recommended. read more

Found them on Yelp and had such a great experience I brought back the whole family. They also did an amazing job with my 5 & 3 year old.

first let me say, I HATE DENTISTS. after being in great pain, i called Ovation and they got me in right away. Dr.Villari was nothing short of awesome. im a real baby when it comes to this kind of thing. She and Lisa made me feel very comfortable and at ease from the second i walked in the door. I had to have 4 extractions, yes 4. i was scared out of my mind. it was hands down the best dental experience Ive had in my life. I strongly recommend this practice for all of your needs. I now have a new dentist. Great job to the team at Ovation. read more

I was a patient of Dr Villari at her previous office. I love the new office and the staff. Most importantly, I love how they respect your appt time, You will always be seen within minutes of your appt time. The staff is very professional and I trust Dr Villari and have never had any issues. I recommend her to people who are afraid of the dentist and people who may just be looking for a new dds. read more

Great staff and a great dentist. Very pleased I followed through on the referral. Very professional office - thanks Dr. Villari for a great check-up. read more

Just got my teeth cleaned. The dentist and assistant were very nice and personable in addition to the rest of the staff. I was taken in right away, no paperwork to fill out. Parking was available immediately outside the building. Not much more you could ask for when headed to the dreaded dentist. read more

Awesome! The most lively, vibrant, friendly dentist office I've ever been too! Great service and consistent! I feel like I'm apart of the Ovation family since I've been coming here for almost 2 years! Ovation is a big part of my amazing smile! read more

My kids enjoyed their visit to the dentist office a few months ago. Their availability to see you in an emergency was exceptional. Took my nine-year old yesterday and they were able to take care of her immediately. She was nervous but the staff did a great job to ensure her everything would turn out fine. Five stars! We will be returning back. read more

Our family had a great experience at Ovation Dental! My husband and I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and they were very kind and helpful about it. They were also amazing with our toddler's first dentist visit! He loved the experience and he is still talking about it. The office and staff is very nice with new technology and nice details everywhere! Would totally recommend them! read more

Very glad I found this place. My previous dentist was all about recommending expensive and unnecessary treatments (ie, getting braces for the 2nd time in my life, even though my teeth are perfectly straight). My insurance changed and I needed to find a new in-network dentist. I found my way to Ovation. They are friendly, efficient, no high pressure sales tactics. Every visit I'm in and out with no hassles or delays. Thank you ladies! read more

Ovation Dental is the best dental office I have ever been to. The office is clean and they have the latest technology. Dr. Villari is very welcoming and attentive. She explained everything thoroughly and answered all of my questions. The whole staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, they offer great service! I plan to be a long-term client. read more

Awesome office. My hubby and daughter go here too and we all love her and the staff. Very cool offices and very kid friendly.

My children and I have been patients of Dr. Villari since she started working with the dentist I had been seeing on North Avenue. All of my children always chose Dr.Villari every time I made dental appointments for them. She started treating me for early gum disease, and I was immediately impressed with her knowledge, excellent technique, the way she spends time on patient education, and her gentleness. I have never experienced any pain with Dr. Villari and I highly recommend her to anyone who has any fear of dentists. I also felt comforted and well cared for when the day after she prepared my tooth for a new crown., I received a phone call from Dr. Villari asking me if I was experiencing any discomfort, Due to her expertise and skill, I never had any discomfort during the procedure or after. read more

I never enjoy going to the dentist but Dr. Villari and the staff are amazing. I was always very timid about going to the dentist before finding Ovation Dental. The staff makes you very comfortable and I actually enjoy my time there. 5 Stars across the board!!! Great work read more
