1st Family Dental of Elgin

I wasn’t that impressed by this place. I have been to the dentist a lot as a kid because I have implants. I felt like they did not clean my teeth very good. Didn’t even give me mouth rinse after the cleanse! They did not seem personable either I felt like I was just another patient to them and I felt like my appointment was rushed. I also was told I would need all 4 wisdom teeth removed due to cavities. I asked about fillings they said that isn’t recommended because it’s difficult to clean them properly but I also don’t understand why they couldn’t just fill them for the time being until I hear from the referred doctor. They accept medicaid that was the only benefit.

They were not nice, we were thinking of leaving. Then "The doctor" did not even looked 2 sec at my kid and said everything looks great from a distance, i thought- at least the insurance covers it all, like they said...then 4 months later(!!) i receive a weird bill. Its a waste of time and surprisingly-money...

Ensuring that you do your part as a new patient and prior to your scheduled appointment date and time (complete all paperwork in its entirety sent via email before your visit) I can promise you. You'll have no regrets that you've scheduled your dental visit with 1st Family Dental to be the office to help you take care of your overall oral health. The service provided is of great quality and compassion.

Dr Ha was awesome. I had a tooth that had to be pulled. Once I was numbed up, it was basically pain free. She was also very friendly and helpful with questions I had on upcoming procedures. They are all great at this office!!

I had my first visit here today and was really impressed. I was able to get all of my paperwork done online and only had to sign a couple forms when I arrived. They did not keep me waiting in the foyer or in the dentist chair. Dr. Rizvi and Rosa are the best! They did x-rays and filled 3 cavities in no time. The consultation was fabulous as Dr. Rizvi explained everything thoroughly. Exceptional service rendered, even by the billing and front office staff. --------------------------------------- Update: My second and third visit... Rita did a deep cleaning on my gums. It's a major procedure and has to be done in 2 visits because only half of my mouth can be worked on at a time. I had this same procedure done about 12 years ago at another dentist and it was super painful. Rita did such a better job. She did a great job in making sure I was completely numb, she even stopped and gave me another shot half-way through because it was starting to hurt. Last time it took almost 2 weeks for my gums to heal, but this time, I healed up in just a couple days. On top of that, my teeth and gums are in better shape than ever before. Rita is awesome.
