“I was extremely nervous about getting my wisdom teeth removed, but my consultation with Dr. Al-Yazeed Yousef immediately put me at ease. He answered all of my questions patiently, explained everything clearly, and made sure I truly understood each step. I left the consultation feeling confident instead of anxious. During the procedure, Dr. Yousef has magic hands — I felt ZERO pain. One of my teeth was stubborn, but I wouldn’t have known because he made the entire process feel effortless. The front desk team was friendly and helpful with billing questions, and Jonathan, my dental hygienist, made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I’m incredibly grateful to the entire Lakeshore East Dental Arts team and highly recommend them.”

Jonathan was also wonderful and consistently attentive. Because of this team, I now look forward to my appointments — something I never thought I’d say. I’m especially excited to begin my Invisalign journey and couldn’t recommend this practice more.”

“Lakeshore East Dental Arts is truly cutting-edge, using the latest technology and techniques I’ve seen anywhere. Even more impressive is the level of care and professionalism from everyone on the team. Dr. Danielle Plesh is superb. The crown she installed blends perfectly with my natural teeth, and her precision with anesthesia made the entire procedure painless and stress-free. Beyond her technical expertise, she has a compassionate and friendly demeanor that instantly puts patients at ease. It’s rare to find a dentist who excels both clinically and personally — I highly recommend this practice.”

I had extensive work done, and the team was exceptional at explaining both the dental plan and how my insurance could be used effectively. What stood out most was how much they genuinely care.

“After my longtime dentist retired, I was nervous about finding a new practice — but Lakeshore East Dental Arts immediately earned my trust. From my first phone call through my appointment, the entire team was professional, kind, and efficient.

In a single visit, they completed two crowns and a full cleaning without ever feeling rushed. The dentist herself truly stood out — knowledgeable, efficient, and warm, with a calm and reassuring presence. I felt respected and confident in the care I received. I’m incredibly grateful to have found a dental office I trust and highly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional dental care.”

“I had a crown replaced on #15. The previous one, done elsewhere five years previously, fell off. The team at Lakeshore East Dental Arts did a very professional job of preparing #15 for a new crown and fabricating and installing the new crown in a 90 minute visit. I walked out the door with a much better crown than the previous one. I'm very pleased with the results. The fit is perfect and the crown is solid. I was impressed by the degree of teamwork, the quality of their technique and the technology they employed.”

— Kevin Craig

As a healthcare professional, I often struggle to find appointments that fit my schedule, but they went above and beyond to accommodate me, which I greatly appreciate. I couldn’t recommend them more highly for anyone looking for excellent dental care.”

— Guillermo Reyes

“My experience has been phenomenal. From the front desk to the hygienists and doctor, everyone made me feel comfortable and provided outstanding care.

I have significant dental anxiety and had only gone to emergency dentists for years. This is the first practice where I’ve felt comfortable returning and continuing care. I’ve completed cleanings, fillings, crowns, and extractions with minimal discomfort and incredible support. For the first time in over a decade, I feel comfortable smiling again—and we’re not even finished yet.”

— David Gasper

“Lakeshore East Dental Arts is one of the best dental experiences in Chicago and beyond! In my many visits, I was met with the most kind and competent group of health professionals I could hope for. I was particularly impressed with their transparent overview of policy coverage and use of modern, high-quality procedures. Overall, each experience left a smile on my face (literally and figuratively). So, with that, I cannot recommend them enough!”

— Malcolm Bamba

“I had such a great experience at Lakeshore East Dental! Every person I interacted with was very friendly and great at their job. My questions were answered, concerns addressed, and I received recommendations on products too. The cherry on top was the free hydrating under eye patches I got to wear during my cleaning. The hygienist even applied chapstick (that I then got to keep) on my lips! 10/10 experience!!”

— Katelyn Nolan

“Love this place. Brand new with state of the art technology, relaxing ambiance and nice staff. Close to work and they have extended hours. Quality of care is excellent with new technologies in-house. I was able to get a same day overlay measured and made in the office rather than a destructive crown which also takes weeks with a temp crown. Best experiences I've had at a dentist.”

— Lauren Lacey

“This place was amazing. The hygienist and the dentist were amazing. I was extremely nervous. I came in prepared for the worst but I received the best services from my first step through the door. From the front desk, to the chair, to the x-ray machine I was treated with kindness and respect. I found my new dental home. No matter what part of the city I live in I will be back and will tell everyone how amazing this place is. Thank you all again for helping a big kid get his dental health in order.”

— Craig Collier

“The whole experience was amazing, from scheduling the appointment to checking in and going through the procedure. This was the best time I’ve had at the dentist, well, EVER! Everyone was friendly and professional and the environment was really clean. I felt confident that I was getting good treatment. So much so that I’m excited for my follow up!”

— Alejandro Segura

“I recently had a first time patient appointment and was blown away with the care and level of knowledge provided. Workers went above and beyond to explain everything and offer advice for my specific needs. Toyreen was a joy! For a first time patient intake, it was super easy and quick - love being able to fill out the forms ahead of time on phone as well. Extremely easy to make appointments with plenty of time offerings. Had such a great experience that my boyfriend went the next day!”

— Madison Dockter

“For a second opinion, I recently visited Lakeshore East Dental Arts and they were so amazing, I have decided to switch to them for all my dental needs! From the moment I reached out to schedule an appointment, I noticed a difference in the level of care than previously experienced elsewhere. Everyone is very friendly, is very caring, and puts your needs and concerns first. They take their time explaining things, answering questions, and I felt heard. They are the perfect partner in determining the best approach for my dental program moving forward. I highly recommend Lakeshore East Dental Arts. You will not be disappointed!”

“The best dental experience I’ve ever had! Couldn’t recommend Lakeshore East Dental Arts enough. They are always so friendly, helpful and do great work. It’s easy to schedule an appointment and they are always very helpful. They also have a laser that helps with jaw and face pain that was amazing. Can’t say enough great things!”
