He can be a bit too through-I've sometimes walked out with swollen gums, but I attribute this to his dedication to get out every single bit of plaque. Because he hand-scrapes each tooth instead of using that vibrating pick, appointments take up a lot of time-about 45 minutes. I've had a few cavities filled by him when I was younger. He's really quick about it, which is especially important as I was a squirmy little kid back then!

I recently visited NorthShore dental and my experience has been horrible…read more My appointment was set for 10 am and i reached at 945am as it was my first time in this facility. So i completed the formalities and waited...Waited..waited and waited till 1015 after which i asked when i was going to be seen. I was informed that my appointment is at 10:30am and should be coming up soon. That was the first time i got to know that my appointment time was changed and i wasnt even informed on that. However, anyways i had no other option but to wait and finally at around 10:50am i was called inside. So essentially i waited an hour before i was seen. Dr. Vernoski was my doctor and as soon as he looked at me, he asked me if we are doing Xray today as i am pregnant. I said No. He made a very weird face and mentioned that "i should have come before i became pregnant. Without X Ray he cannot do anything and its only the 30% of what he will know whats going on". That was the memorial day weekend and i felt that his X ray money was out of the window and he got very annoyed looking at me. Somehow i maintained my cool and said "thats the precise reason i am visiting dentist to make sure i dont have major issue which you may get while being pregnant. He started with the floss and kept saying that he doesnt have time to teach me how to floss, though I never asked for it. My gums were bleeding because of this pregnancy and i was in pain and thats why i was visiting the dentist. 3 mins in floss and another 5 mins in cleaning the teeth with the manual tool and thats it. I am done with the annual cleaning. I have visited many dentists in the past and never ever experienced some thing like this where not more than 8 mins were spent on cleaning. Another 5 mins of polishing and i was out by 11 am. So i spent more time waiting and less time on the chair with all kinds of blabbering from the doctor. Although he gave me a tip on how to take care of my teeth during this time but it was a horrible experience. Will never ever come back again.

Dr. Brian Zulawinski is a fantastic Dentist. He is amongst the best I have known. Dr. Zulawinski…read moreis a highly capable clinician. So are his other clinicians. Unfortunately, I give a low rating because the front office is probably the worst experience I have had at this office, and I would rate it the same in comparison to other practices. This is not a single instance but many over a few years. Imagine if they are about delighting patients and bringing that administrative front office experience to be on par with Clinical capability? That would be WOW! I will recommend Dr. Zulawinski, as one of the best Dentists, but qualify and prepare anyone for a negative experience with the front office.

One of the dentists there and a hygienist also misled me into believing my care was covered by insurance. The problem was that they failed to tell me the practice no longer accepted my insurance, which they had accepted previously. The response from the responsible party (the lead partner in the practice was absolutely nothing); however, the front office staff once again showed how obnoxious, sarcastic, and rude they are. Never again and I would never recommend the practice. Finally, the dentist and hygienist insisted I have dental surgery and referred me to a specialist. I found one with a better reputation and he said that there was "nothing to indicate surgery was indicated." I would recommend avoiding this practice.

I've been a patient of Lakeside Dental for several years. Dr. Century actually knows my previous…read moredentist through their dental fraternity, so I knew I was getting a continued excellent standard of care. What I got was even greater; an escalation. Lakeside's x-rays are digital, which means they expose us, the patients, to far less radiation than a traditional x-ray. While important for adults, this is also particularly important for children. Should you require a procedure that involves more than a cleaning, they have video glasses, and a large library of movies that you can use to pass the time and distract you. I only used them once, for a tooth whitening, but it was far more pleasant than twiddling my thumbs for an hour. If you don't finish the movie, they'll even let you take it home, so long as you return it in a timely fashion. Lakeside is a preventative practice. They have a device (can't remember the name) that can scan your teeth for microfractures, and put it up on the screen so you can see it yourself. This lets them get the jump on a problem, when it's treatable by fluoride, or at least a less-invasive, painful, and expensive procedure. Again, I haven't needed anything from it, but it was cool to watch. They also have a therapy dog, Nano, that can sit quietly in the lap of nervous children (or adults) during exams. It's not just flash; Dr. Century does top-notch work. I've got several friends who have seen her for complex surgeries, crowns, etc. They even have a milling machine that can creates the crowns within an hour on-site, so you don't have to come back for an additional visit. With digital records, it's easy for them to track progress of problems over the course of several years, so you can see when it's time to do something, or when you're close to getting that perfect gum exam. Sadly, I haven't yet. Someday, I hope. My last visit was on a Saturday, and I saw Dr. Wolf. She had a relaxing nature about her, and I would trust her to do anything my teeth required as well. Outside of specialties, I've had 4 dentists in 50+ years, but have been with Lakeside long enough to know that they are top-notch. Dr. Century is a pioneer in the use of lasers, and over my time with the practice, has been flown to give seminars on the use of lasers to other dentists. Dr. Century is a rock-star; very well-known in her field. Oh, I almost forgot. Every visit includes topical fluoride at the end. No other dentist ever offered that, at least not without what would have been an extra fee. Lakeside costs me a few dollars less than my last dentist for an exam and cleaning to boot. I suspect that the vast number of 5-star reviews that appear hidden on this page do so because people have only a review or two of short length, and no real history on Yelp. While I can appreciate that Yelp is erring toward the side of caution, especially given some recent bad press with paid-for reviews, I think that, in the case of this business, you can be a bit less dubious. I found I get as much detail as anyone could want on my options, and as much time as anyone could need from any of the staff. If they run late, which they rarely do, they give you a gift card for lunch as an apology. They are a medical practice that stresses customer service. I've referred people to Lakeside, and will continue to do so. I drive there from Glenview, which is kind of a haul, and would still visit them if they were twice as far.

If you're looking for a dentist who will put a smile back on your face, your search ends here…read more Dr. Mendez is unequivocally the best doctor I have EVER seen! You might ask, "What sets him apart from other dentists?" He has all the professional skills of the best in the field, and keeps himself educated on the latest in innovative dental practices by regularly attending conferences. More importantly, he has compassion for his patients. He will set you at ease whether you are facing a simple checkup and cleaning, or a complicated procedure. He will explain procedures to you without an air of condescension. He also makes himself accessible to his patients. I've never had a problem scheduling an appointment. Not all doctors will see patients during non-office hours for emergencies, but Dr. Mendez's concern is to alleviate pain. Most people dread going to the dentist. Perhaps that has been your experience in the past when scheduling a dental appointment. Try giving Dr. Mendez a call and I bet your perspective will change. If you don't live near the Northwest Suburbs, it still would be worth the drive. Even if I moved out of state, I'd still go see him.
