The new dentist here, Dr. Balaney, is just as good as the previous dentist, Dr. Cololla. He has good bedside manner--friendly and calm. I'm not a dentist, but as far as I can tell the quality of the work seems good.
Having three, adjacent upper front teeth worked on simultaneously is not pleasant. Crowns placed previously and a couple replaced over the last year was the cause. One falling off in late 2021 added the third and one had a temporary placed because the original did not survive being bitten down on after coming loose. Barely completed checking in before called into room. Began with multiple x-rays then work began. Temp removed before shaping of all. One required extra work because it was too short. Packing of gums for impression most trying part. Impressions of teeth and bite followed before another, one piece, temporary placed. Used entire allotted 2 hours. Was discouraged when appt for crowns placement had to be rescheduled. Original date had taken Jul 4 holiday into consideration but more time in lab was necessary. New appt is now almost 1 month from first appt.
I had a great dentist that retired a few years back. I dreaded having to look for a new one. I was SO GLAD I found Wheaton Prairie Dental. Dr. Colella is an incredible dentist. The hygienists are just as great. Every visit is a pleasant experience. Their professionalism and care is topnotch. I highly recommend Wheaton Prairie Dental.
Staff is great, and Dr. Colella is top-notch. The new location is a marked improvement, as well. Procedures are well explained, and I was never in any discomfort.
There's little I can think of more nerve-racking than picking a new dentist office. I booked in advance for my new patient cleaning because of waiting for my new dental insurance to kick in in the new year and because they are really busy. When issues were found (sigh cavities) I was pleasantly surprised they were able to get me in the following week and were able to tell me estimates. While I was there for more cleaning, they had a dental emergency and were able to fit that person seamless while hardly delaying my cleaning. The team works great together and you can tell they enjoy being there. Today, I went back for my cavity and the whole procedure maybe took 20 minutes. I've never been somewhere so efficient but also caring and precise. I've got another upcoming appointment, and feel put at ease. I've already signed my husband and son up for their first cleanings there as well.
