Clark Dental Care

They cater to patients who are able to pay the fee, public aid, and upper social class insurance. These are not Jews, but highly qualified medical professionals. Before (Me, a public aid recipient, and a veteran of Iran 1980 – 1984 Air Force before any of today’s heroes were born) I was able to qualify for necessary dental treatment; I had to have full cleaning. I asked the dentist at Clark Dental about a dental college down in the Medical Center U of I district. They charge 100 or 150 dollars, but Clark Dental charges 600 dollars. I was told that I could receive the treatment, after completion of the dental school cleaning. However, once you finish the cleaning, there is no followup, or correction of any work performed by these students. My dental health is more important than 600 dollars, or a less expensive cleaning so I opted for this clinic to clean my teeth. Two fillings between teeth fell out, as a result of my incorrect flossing technique. I called the clinic and they scheduled me for new fillings, and further instructions on proper flossing methods.
How can such educated and supposedly intelligent persons from our upper social class make such a ridiculous assumption about the service of a dental clinic, based on the lower social class which is entitled to public aid insurance. I would suspect that such wealthy persons have unlimited financial resources, therefore they do not worry about such matters?

STAY AWAY! This is the worst dental practice in the world!
First went to fix a small chip in my upper front tooth, Dr. Therese fixed the filling and it looked fine for two months when the composite fell… I went back to get it fixed because they said their work had a 6 month warranty… Super rude Dr. Sonia (who made fun of the «tiny little thing» I wanted to repair…) made the chip bigger (way bigger!) and put a composite that 1^st didn’t match the color of my tooth and 2^nd was super uncomfortable and pointy and after 5 months, it fell… And she says «she has extensive experience with cosmetic dentistry» Really??? You are kidding me!
Don’t come near to this place!

NO. Do NOT go to this dentist. I had a terrible toothache and jaw pain. Got a next day appointment. The office is bare bones and not exactly upscale. They cater to Public Aid patients. I figured who cares if the dentist is competent. I am still in shock. They took a series of rays but when the dentist came in she didnt even look at me. She grabbed the xrays and said you have a broken tooth. The back molar. I said thats odd… that tooth doesnt hurt. Let me look she says. So she swipes her finger across the back of my teeth and says… oh, the gum must have grown over the tooth Its NOT THERE. I said do you mean my wisdom tooth?! She says yes. You need oral surgery. I said I had ALL my wisdom teeth PULLED in my twenties. Thats why there is no tooth there! She threw a business card with a referral to a surgeon and walked out… I was in shock. I had to go to the ER to get antibiotics where they informed me I had an abscess. Do NOT go to this whack job.

This was the worst dental experience I have ever had. Do not go here. First, I have new insurance that you don’t get a number for. I guess the dentist office is supposed to call and confirm my insurance. It’s just the way it is. The clerk didn’t know that and actually yelled at me «to come more prepared». I told her to shut up and try to be more polite and learn her business. Anyway, I should have left then and there. But stupidly I stayed. I finally get my appointment and the dentist doesn’t say a word to me. She just speaks another language to the assistant. Maybe she didn’t know English who knows. So the dentist decides I need a «deep cleaning» and they need special approval. So I have to leave and they will call me. They never call and I keep calling them. I just want my teeth cleaned because I have heavy coffee stains. Finally, I call the insurance myself and they don’t approve the deep cleaning. I call back the dentist and tell them the insurance does not approve the deep cleaning and I just want a regular cleaning to remove the tarter and coffee stains. This dentist office said they don’t make enough money off regular cleanings and refused me. Told me to go find another dentist. Really bad people here. Don’t go.

Excellent Service. Professional, Clean and Amazing with Kids.
I was on vacation in Chicago, when my daughter was complaining of a toothache. I saw Clark Dental Care sign and decided to walk-​in with her. They took care of my baby right away, leaving her with a happy smile on her face! When I found out that they accepted my insurance, I decided to check my impacted teeth. They eased my fear through their advanced x-​ray system notifying me that I do not need to take them out. This was months after my own oral surgeon said I should get it removed and may lose the feeling on my face when I do so.

The worse the worse dental experience ever. I still have shivers thinking about it. I went in with a chipped tooth that i thought maybe i could get filled. Moussa (Dr?) said my only option was to pull it. and she insisted on pulling it right away. she also said i had like 6 other cavities that i should have filled right away. SO I thought, OK, I’m not gonna have my tooth pulled because I just met her and she wasn’t very friendly so it didn’t feel right. but she kept insisting on the other cavities and pulling it. finally i felt pressured to fill my cavities. so i filled the right side of my cavities. no laughing gas. just numbing on the right side and 2 shots of what I hoped to be anesthetic. she didn’t explain anything to me, she didn’t ask me anything after i said i only wanted fill. she kept talking to the assistant instead of to me — the patient! she drilled into my teeth… i had to grab her wrists TWO times because she was literally either gaging me or pinching my gums. when she was done filling my teeth, she half assed shaved the filling down. i went to rinse came back and had her remove more filling in between my teeth. filling was IN BETWEEN my teeth! how does that happen. so i left! i couldn’t sit there while she poked around and tried to remove filling in areas where it should not be.,. right now i have filing stuck on the outer part of my filled tooth and on the top fillings it feels like cement. i feel like there’s cement in my teeth. and the filings are not even so i have a side overbite type thing going on.
I could go back and get it fixed but why would i put myself through that torture again.

I had the same awful experience as the others back in 2008. Sonia Moussa just chatted with her assistant about inappropriate personal things making me very uncomfortable. I was told I would need fillings and since I had time she did the fillings that day. She proceeded WITHOUT anasthetic!
On the way out I noticed there was way too much material left from the filling that when I closed my mouth only the teeth with new fillings touched. At the front desk, I was told this «should go down in a few days.» I knew this could not be true since I’d had fillings before but never noticed this. So I was told to go back to the dentist.
I walked back into the area I received the fillings and I explained to Sonia that my problem she had me sit and without apology and much disdain she filed the filling to the correct height.
From that day I had pain and sensitivity in those fillings that I never had before I arrived at Clark Dental Care. After a month of this, I went to another dentist who said the poor filling needed to be removed and replaced. Luckily now, with the help from a real dentist, Clark Dental’s painful mistake has been corrected.
Oh yeah, when I went to the real dentist for correction, I was told Sonia would not release my X-​rays that I paid for. This apparently is not required by law, but most dentists will share this information (unless they hold a grudge like this one).
I would highly recommend NOT going to this dentist!

I had a great experience when I went the other day to remove my wisdom teeth. I came in as a fist time, walk-​in patient and wanted to get my wisdom teeth out after just getting insurance. At first I was nervous, but the assistants and the dentist where great to me and assured that I would be ok. The dentist walked me through the procedure and made me feel very comfortable. It didnt take too long to finish all the work, and before I knew it, I was out the door to recovery! By the way, I am new in town, and I just found my dentist here! :)

please do not go here. for your own sake. it’s so awful i actually left humiliated. the first time i went i waited for 55 minutes, and was seen after letting know the receptionist. They told me i needed fillings. I went back the next week, waited 45 minutes, and went in. The doctor did not wait for the anesthetic to kick in and started drilling, which was extremely painful. I told her it hurt, she gave me another shot and kept going. It’s been over a week, and my jaw has been hurting, i addition to having headaches caused by the jaw pain. i called them and told them I could not come in to do the rest of my fillings because I was still really in pain from the previous appointment and the response was «ok, just come in when you are ready».
no questions about the pain, nothing.
just do not go here.
