Naperville Dental Specialists

I was looking for a new Dental practice for my family and I, I called my insurance company and they emailed other a list of practitioners in Naperville. I looked at the list and all I saw was a list of unfamiliar names, it didn't tell me anything about the practitioners, about how long they have been in business or what services they provide. So I turned to my friend... Google, I googled all the names to find a website, a site that would give me more information about the practices. The results were shocking to me, out of a list of 20... only one had a website and that was, Naperville Dental Specialists.

On the Naperville Dental Specialists website, I found all the information that I was looking for. What I liked most, was that they provided all the services that my family needs under one roof. No longer do I have to go to a different practice for a root canal or a different practice for my children or a different practice for an orthodontist, they provide it all. I was definitely sold and called to schedule an appointment.

When my daughters and I arrived for our appointments, I was pleasantly surprised. Imagining that I was going to find the traditional waiting area, with a receptionist behind the glass. Instead what I found was the feeling of having just walked into someones living room. The atmosphere is welcoming, warm and relaxing, Zen/Spa feel, nothing at all of what I was expecting. They even offer fresh brewed coffee and bottled water while you wait.

I then had the pleasure of meeting the team of professionals; Dr. LaVacca and Dr. Blair, treat Adult patients. Dr. LaVacca, also specializes in dental implants and teaches a class on it as well. Dr. Albert and Dr. McCullough are board certified pediatric dentists, Susie is the Dental Hygienist and Mary the Treatment Coordinator.

I never thought the day would come, that I would be raving about going to the dentist's office, but my children and I have had a great experience with all the treatments and have had no discomfort whatsoever. They are a team of caring and professional individuals in a state-of-the-art facility, who's goal, I believe, is to provide superior, painless patient care.
