I am giving them a 3. For a few reasons. I will say this dentist is a good dentist. Michelle, who works at the front desk, well she is AMAZING. Super friendly, always has a smile on her face, and you can hear her smile in her voice. She is the definition of customer service, they definitely have a wonderful employee in her. Never let her go. The office is very nice, modern and technology is up there. The dentist, Dr. Amante, is an excellent dentist, but I have somewhat of a bad review for him. It may seem weird, how can I say he is excellent, but have a bad review. Well, because he really is a great doctor. Always on time, willing to fit you in on short notice. But, my problem is, I hadnt; been to a dentist in years. Didnt have dental insurance for many years, nor health. Now, I have a pretty decent dental plan. two of them actually, but at the time when I was a patient about 2 years ago. 2015. I initially met Dr. Amante to have my wisdom teeth removed. He did a fantastic job. Even putting in an implant on another tooth he had to remove. They even hooked me up with care credit to make the procedures more affordable even with my insurance. The implant was only covered 50 percent. Well he did a wonderful job, but there was still more work to be done. I had 3 teeth with bad cavities and they were in definite need of work. Well, I put it off, its not their fault. I also needed a deep cleaning, and I missed the appointment. My fault again. My whole complaint here boils down to this. The deep cleaning was 3 times the amount that I just paid, and thats not just because I have 2 insurances, one of them covers it at 100 percent. So they are already 3 time the amount as my current dentist. And then, Dr.. Amante told me I needed two root canals to fix the cavities that I had. MY MAJOR COMPLAINT, I did not need those root canals. My current dentist was able to fill the teeth successfully, and put off any root canal any time soon. It wasnt just a cheap fix, I could afford the root canals. But, she ultimately felt that my teeth would be saved for now without root canals. So they are over priced, and instead of working to make my teeth stronger, he automatically jumped to a root canal. THIS WAS TWO YEARS AGO. I finally just had this issue taken care of now. in 2017. So please tell me why, over the past two years, with no dentist, why I was able to have these teeth fixed. But two years ago he wanted root canals. Hmm. So beware at times and get a second opinion, especially when its very expensive.

If going to the dentist can ever be considered pleasant, that is exactly how my experience with Lisle Dental Center was. The office if very clean and neat. The staff is incredibly friendly.They take the time to explain everything to you: what they are going to start off doing, what their findings are, what their findings mean, and how they will go about fixing everything. The Dental Hygienist that worked with me had a VERY steady hand, especially when it came to numbing me. For those of you who hate needles, have no fear! She was amazingly smooth when it came to hiding it from me. Somehow I never actually saw the needle. Throughout the procedure, they periodically asked me how I was feeling. The good thing is that the most pain I felt was a slight pinch from the numbing needle (impressive, considering I got a deep cleaning and four cavities filled)! For the most part, I was able to forget what was going on in my mouth. It helps that they let you watch your favorite Netflix show or listen to your favorite music station. My appointment was in the middle of the day, so I came straight from class and I had to get back to school afterwards. I let them know that I had to be out but 3:45 at the latest. The Dr. said "You have to be out by 3:45? Well have you out by 3:30!" And sure enough, by 3:30, I was scheduling my next appointment :) I was actually sad to hear her say she was done because I was still in the middle of my Netflix show! Truly a wonderful office! For the first time in my life, Im not dreading my next dentist appointment :)

Worst dentist Ive ever been to. Theyre Bullies and just want your money. Told me several times to get invisaline when Ive already had braces for 3 years. Also told me I immediately needed to have all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled out. I went to another dentist and they told me I only have my top 2 wisdom teeth and never got bottom ones. They convinced me to have 2 root canals done. It took them SEVEN HOURS to do ONE of them and 5 hours for the other because Dr. Bushman was late so she had her assistant do it and she messed up. They never offered me anything in exchange for the pain they caused me and the time they took from my day because of their screw up. I had to be numbed 4 times. It was hell. I left the office crying every time I went there. They made me feel as though my teeth were rotting out. Ive been to 2 different dentist since and both told me I should have gotten second opinions on the root canals and that she did a very bad job on them. I was told I have cross bite after the 2nd root canal. Then the dentist decided to randomly shave at my teeth with her tool until my bite would match up. Now its even worse... Literally the worst place Ive ever been. The only person I liked there was the receptionist. If youre reading this, you deserve to work somewhere better. Im happy to say Ive now found a much better dentist to go to and I am not afraid of the dentist anymore. Lisle Dental Center you suck. Rachelle

I have been going to Lisle Dental since I moved to the area and have never had a bad experience or second guessed a visit. They are very punctual when it comes to appointments, which is a one of the hardest things to find these days. The entire staff is very friendly, upbeat, and do a good job creating a positive office atmosphere. The staff is professional, do an excellent job explaining each procedure, and always follow up after the work is complete. If there is any question or concern post procedure they will find a place in their schedule for you to discuss and modify any issue you may have. They are very thorough and make sure you are 100% satisfied with the end result. You will appreciate the amount of pride they take in their work and do not up/oversell you on unnecessary items/procedures. They do a excellent job to create a relationship/trust with each patient, which is important to many. How many people can honestly say they are comfortable having someones hand in their mouth? Truthfully, I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. You know you are in good hands with the Lisle Dental team.

Although the service was amazing, i am very unhappy that there is no monthly payment plans. It seems they only can accommodate the people who came come up with over 1000. (Rich or well off) on the spot in order to get teeth started to be out of pain. feel like people like me have to go to places where quality gets sacrificed to get cheaper amount and monthly payments. Would love to habe a great dentist office like this. I knew too good to be true. Pain meds not working, still was up all night. This would have been the best place for my family and I. The receptionist dentist and all the staff are amazing! I felt very important. The receptionist Michelle even talk with dentist getting some of the amount down to start but still was way too much. Of course wont be able to get it done. I cannot have front teeth pulled and nothing put there. Appreciate the effort...
