“I literally talk about this office at parties and work events. I went in for a new patient consultation for a specific issue and Dr. Jeff sat down with me for the entire 45 minute appointment. I got more face time with this new dentist than I had in the last 4 years at my former dentist. … They also always take you back on time if not early! I will never stop talking about Always There, 1000000/10.”

“Dr. Scott is an amazing dentist who is just as kind and caring as he is good at his job! He has such fun energy and makes sure your teeth are well taken care of under his care. … Best dentist in Chicago by far and large. The front desk staff is AMAZING, lovely and on top of it! … I highly recommend Dr. Scott and his practice!”

“I had such a great experience with this office from walking in the door at the start to the very end. Ashley made me feel welcomed and comfortable for my cleaning! … I usually have high anxiety coming to the dentist, but I felt relaxed and comfortable the entire time. … This office is one of a kind. Very professional, clean, and their equipment feels up to date and high-tech. For the first time, I am actually excited to return to the dentist for a cleaning!”

“I’m a new patient and my first visit was great. The team I met and worked with, to include Dr. Jeff, Rosanna, Marissa, and Audrey were all awesome! They were friendly, organized, knowledgeable, and took time to explain lots of things to me beyond what other dental practices have done for me in the past. Very pleased with the first visit.”

Google review

“Best dentist experience I’ve ever had! I moved to Chicago a few years ago and had been avoiding going to the dentist because I was so worried about finding a good place. I’m really glad I went to ATDC. I had an oral exam and cleaning and appreciated that they were incredibly professional and thorough in addition to friendly and pleasant. My teeth feel great but more importantly I left feeling like I was in good hands and had been well taken care of all-around. Really couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend. This is definitely my new regular dental practice.”

A.W.
New to Chicago

“I’ve been going to Always There Dental Care for nearly 18 years, and every single time I go, they exceed my expectations. Just incredibly professional, state of the art in every way. Super friendly — every single person that works there is insanely kind, you just feel like you’re part of a family. And that’s always the case. It’s remarkable. I highly, highly recommend them.”

G.B.
Patient for nearly 18 years

“It’s been well over a decade since I started coming here, and I’ve looked forward to visiting Scott & co on each and every visit. Even after moving to the suburbs, I still make the trip into the city twice a year — I won’t switch. Skilled, comforting, friendly, fun, engaging, interested, passionate… Bottom line: from the big things to the little things (the shirts! the music! the decor!), everything they do makes me smile.”
