James Fondriest, DDS, FACD, FICD

I am a dentist who chose to see Dr. James Fondriest after coming across his portfolio. He has many completed restorations of beautiful natural looking teeth you would never guess are crowns or veneers. I have been waiting to find the right person to work on my front teeth and am glad I did. His skill and dedication to the art of dentistry is truly inspiring. I am so glad I was able to see it, and to be on the receiving end of it. To achieve this natural looking result is difficult as it requires a skilled cohesive team - from dentist, to front desk, to assistant, to dental lab technician. Heather and Yolanda were great at the front desk and worked with my changing schedule. Araceli is a highly skilled, efficient assistant and is very well versed in the procedure performed as well. She was so kind and helped with some extra oral hygiene preparation which ensured smooth sailing throughout the process. She is warm and friendly and will treat you like family! I was impressed with the care she gave me. The temporary crowns I had were beautiful and natural looking, but the final restorations are nothing short of amazing. There are few dentists with such synergy as Dr. Fondriest and his lab. Thank you Araceli and Dr. James Fondriest for your exceptional care.

I have been incredibly impressed with the expertise and level of care Ive experienced as a patient of Dr. Fondriest. I came to him for a second opinion after another cosmetic dentist in downtown Chicago hastily suggested an incredibly expensive overhaul of my front teeth with porcelain veneers. Within 30 seconds of my consult with Dr. Fondriest, he immediately diagnosed that the only issue with my front teeth was light staining that could easily be addressed through polishing, and that no further cosmetic interventions were needed. Not only did I appreciate his candor and transparency, but Im eternally grateful for his counsel, as it saved me thousands of dollars and an enormous outlay of time and energy had I fallen for the claims of the other dentist. I could not recommend Dr. Fondriest and his care team more.

A comfortable, welcoming practice with a warm, professional, accomodating staff. Not only is it convenient (right uptown, parking is easy), it's also very pleasant. Dr. Fondreist has a gentle, patient-centered chairside manner. Completely trust Dr. Fondreist (and staff) he's, knowledgable, professional & experienced. A+
