I think I’ve been going to East Village Dental for about 20 years now, possibly longer. It is without a doubt, the best of modern dentistry that I’ve had. It is certainly not inexpensive, but this price is worth good dental health which affects the rest of a person’s body and physical health. My most recent visit involved getting a root canal and then a full ceramic crown on a molar. I knew the crown was necessary, but the sudden pain a few days before was an unpleasant surprise. Remarkably, they were able to fit me in the day that I had called, and I’ve never been in my life so anxious to get shots from a dentist!! The whole procedure of the root canal and the ceramic crown took only about 4 hours. The staff are wonderful and are mostly the same people for decades, which shows how it’s a good place to work. Efficient, quick and top-notch dental care. I highly recommend East Village Dental.

The staff at East Village Dental were friendly, helpful, and made the experience pleasant overall. However, there was a long wait between finishing my teeth cleaning and having the dentist come in for the final checkup. A smoother, more efficient handoff would have made it a much better experience.
Came very early on a Saturday morning with severe tooth pain due to a cavity. They quickly took my info and went straight to work. Dr Brant and Christian were super helpful and open to all the questions I had. Felt zero judgement from them. They explained the process and in less than 2 hours I was done with my first root canal. No pain during or after. 100% recommend. Oh, and they also have financing options through a third party lender that even with low credit will help you a lot.
My appointment started on time, they easily fixed my problem, at all times communicated clearly and honestly about expected costs, and the final bill was lower than expected. Rare to have such a good experience at a dentist.
Truly a pleasant dental facility with an outstanding team. From Dr. T, Juana, Ludi and the ladies at the front desk like Esmeralda and the others, this is truly among Chicago's best for all your dental needs. I wish I would have discovered this place years ago.
