Chicago Smile Center - Park Ridge Office

I took my wife to Dr Yahav and was more than upset with my experience. My wife needed several crowns and had much decay. She did not look good after the time she spent with him. There was a tooth fragment in her eye (ever hear of safety glasses), and she looked like she was handled rough. I am a male ICU nurse and know how to assess patients. After reading his reviews again I realized that most of them are bogus. I took her to 2 dentists to examine the work he did on this visit (a large temporary crown) and both confirmed that it looked rushed and not representative of a man with his experience. One dentist said it looked like something his students did. I was disgusted with this news and never went back. When the second dentist removed the temporary crown he found construction material that should never have been left in place. It was like ""pulling a tooth"" to get half my money back (I payed 2500 for two full crowns which I did not let him finish). The area of her mouth that he worked on has bothered her ever since. She needed two root canals on the area he worked for 90 minutes. It is my belief that if he would have taken his time, these root canals could have been avoided. She had an infection on the most recent that required antibiotics. All of the other work she received at a subsequent dentist has gone well. Please stay away from Dr Yahav if you need anything serious. Go to a dentist that only sees one patient at a time and only works from one office (he has three to pay for). CAUTION more

Really strong results and excellent people. more

Dr. Yahev is a great dentist, the location is very confient, the office staff is very kind, and overall I was very satisfied. more

I first went to Dr. Yahav because his dental office is near my home, so I wasn't sure exactly what to expect because I didn't have a referral. His office is really nice and his staff are very professional, competent, and friendly. Dr. Yahav is one of the best medical professionals I have ever been to. He is knowledgeable, efficient, courteous, and friendly. Most importantly, he has done extensive work on my teeth (several crowns and inlays) and it has always gone very well, with minimal pain or none at all. I have referred family and friends to Dr. Yahav. He is a terrific dentist. more

Dr. Jonathan Yahav was recommended to me by a friend. I decided to call him and make an appointment for an exam and estimate to fix my front teeth. I informed him that before I make any decision to have work done I will need to get a few more estimates and opinions from other dentists. To my surprise, the third estimate that I had done told me that they found that I have a periodontal disease on my gums and the best thing to do will be to pull out all my front teeth and do a permanent bridge. I was in shock when they told me that and couldn't believe it and could not sleep all night thinking about it. Then after I had a total of four estimates and different opinions from different dentists I decided to call Dr. Yahav again and he explained to me in greater detail and verified the extent of the disease. He carefully reviewed my teeth again for a second time and he decided upon the best treatment plan for me. Now, my front teeth look better than I could have expected. I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Yahav and I am grateful to him for his kindness and patience. I felt very comfortable in the dentist's office and everyone was so pleasant to deal with. I will recommend Dr. Yahav and his staff to anyone! more

I have been with Dr. Yahav for about five years now and I am very pleased with his work. His staff is professional and he is very exacting in his work. He uses the latest equipment and techniques. His costs are reasonable and his work lasts. I highly reccomend Dr. Yahav to have as your family dentist. more

I found Dr. Yahov on a Sunday, when my husband cracked a tooth the same night was to fly to Europe. We called so many dentists and Dr. Yahov was the only one who phoned us back and took care of my husband. Since then we have used him as our primary dentist. He is professional and works fast (which I like). HIs staff is friendly and attentive. more

Thanks for being flexible on the miscommunication with the insurance! Very friendly. Professional and an easy process. No waiting which is always great. more

I thought the service was very thorough and compassionate. I appreciated the preventative recommendations and attention to my sensitivity to pain. more

I saw Dr. Yahav for a regular checkup and teeth cleaning. I had an excellent experience. Dr. Yahav was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me very clearly. I would recommend him to my friends and family. more

This is my first time visiting Dr. Yahav and I am pleased with the treatment received today. I had an excellent cleaning and a painless extraction done fast. Not only he treated me with professionalism, explaining me the procedure step by step, but also offered me accessible payment plans. I am definitely going back!! more

I have been going to Dr. Yahav for the past 17years. He has always been professional, efficient, and sincere. He is trustworthy and always takes care of his patience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great dentist! more

My experience was good. I don't like dental visits, in my fear for dentists that make me very comfortable. The result was excellent. more

I have been a patient of Dr. Yahav's for many years and have received nothing but the best care. Whether it has been for a cleaning or cosmetic repair, his knowledge, care, professionalism and most of all, patient/doctor communication and concern have been of the highest quality. I have recommended himi to many friends and they have always reported back to me the same feelings of satistaction and admiration. more

Friendly staff - comfortable surroundings. more

I have been going to Dr. Yahav for 4 years and I usually see him once a year. The check-ups that I get are always great. I have never had a problem with him or his office. They are always pleasant! more

Really? I don't know what some of the other posters are talking about. (Hmmm could some of the competition be stuffing the yelp box) I have been going to Dr. Yahav for several years an couldn't be happier! He did the lumineer veneers on my front teeth and I still (after two years) get compliments. Other dentists had told me that lumineers were not possible do to an issue with my teeth, but there have been no issues. As far as ripping people off....especially for a Water Tower dentist , he is very reasonable. He is always very honest and has actually encouraged me to put off procedures that I thought I needed. As far as the procelin inlays, yes they are more expensive than old fashioned fillings, but they feel better and look even better. The Dr. took the time to educate me about the benefits and why he doesn't do filings. Give the guy a try! more

I have been a patient of Dr. Yahav for 20 years and would never consider going to another dentist. He is simply the best! The office staff are all friendly and professional. I have visited all 3 locations on various occasions- all are easily accessible. The Water Tower location allows for shopping- a pleasant distraction. As much as I dread going to the dentist, I always leave this office happy, feeling that I have been well cared for. more

I went a month ago for the first time at Dr. Yahav's practice to have a consultation for the removal of my wisdom teeth. I was happy to receive a free consultation! He explained to me why it was important for me to remove my wisdom teeth. His fee was going to be very fair (considering that I don't have insurance) so I scheduled a following appointment for my procedure. The extraction was quick and easy and I didn't have any problems after. I suggest anyone to visit his practice! I was very impressed by his caring and very professional staff. Well done Dr. Yahav! Thank you. more

I have been seeing Dr. Yahav for 15-20 years. He is the best! He has offered me a discount for my recent cleaning. He has placed porcelain lamineers and done a root canal very successfully. I have complete trust in him and his staff. I have not had to wait for very long in the waiting room either. He and the staff are friendly, patient, courteous and professional at all times. I highly recommed him. more
