Dental recommendations for west of Chicago

February 5, 2013 7:04 AM

I'm looking for a personal recommendation (i.e. not a yelp listing) for a great adult dentist in the near west burbs of Chicago or even the southwest burbs. So anywhere from Oak Park to Oakbrook and south to Tinley Park. Important: weekend hours, experience, knowledgeable staff, a dentist who won't scold or up-sell. Not important: flat screen television, high tech equipment.

I don't know if he has weekend hours, but I loved Dr. Kevin Raihle -- great dentist, low-key, no scolding, nice. I haven't lived in Chicago for five years and I actually miss him.

We go to Dr. Provenzale (Jr.) in Downers Grove. He's in practice with his father. They do have Saturday hours, but naturally those appointments tend to book quickly. Low key office, no scolding or upselling.

SW burbs here. Worth Palos Dentisry is awesome.

Dr. Salerno in Oak Park. Is totally laid back, never tries to sell anything extra.

Dr. Jeffrey Blankshain is located just north of Oak Park on North Avenue. My family has been going to him for years. He's very easy to talk to, relaxed and makes the whole thing pleasant.

Dr. Mrugala is your man. He has offices in Hickory Hills and Westmont.
