...And They Love Our Patience
The most important people at Grove Dental are always the ones we serve- our patients. Each of our patients is unique, and we want to get to know you, your family and your dental goals. You benefit most when your healthcare provider is your long-term partner. Along with quality dental care, a friendly staff and a gentle touch, we pledge our patience!
At Grove we strive to provide, quality, convenient and personalized care for your entire family. But don't take our word for it -- take a look at what our patients have had to say about us recently.
Dear Dr. (K) Moss and staff,
My mom and I would like to thank you all for helping make sure mom has a "new" set of teeth. The staff heard the problem and made sure Dr. Moss knew of our problem. You helped make sure we learned of a technique of which we were unaware.
You made mom feel comfortable, secure and safe in this new situation. The quality of the work and professional yet warm, caring attitude is truly comforting.
Dear Dr. Shubat,
Just a note of thanks to you for helping save my bottom teeth. I'm very excited that they have improved and hoping for the best outcome. You and your staff are wonderful!
Staff very accommodating - open to all my patient requests. Office is very patient friendly. The dental assistant has the patience of a "saint" to put up with my gagging. Dr. Islam is very kind and gentle - love him. Thanks, Suzette
"This is the 3rd dentist we have seen in 3 months. No one has ever been able to look in my daughter's mouth without her screaming. You were amazing. A full exam with x-rays left me speechless! Thank you - now we don't need general anesthesia!"
"I have no complaints. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and at ease. I have to make sure I take better care of my teeth. I'm glad this is so close to my residence also." Thomas
When it comes to dentistry, only patients can truly convey the quality and comfort of their experience. Nothing speaks more eloquently to what we do than those we do it for.
We value patient feedback. If you've got a story to share about your Grove experience, let us know!
With summer vacation in full swing, it's not too soon to begin thinking about your child's back-to-school appointments, and that means scheduling those physical and dental exams before the actual start of the school year. The state of Illinois now requires that all students in kindergarten, 2nd, and 6th grade have a dental exam completed by a licensed dentist.
Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic illnesses among children, and poor oral health has been related to decreased school performance. In fact, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, an estimated 51 million school hours per year are lost because of dental-related illness.
Dentists Just For Kids at Grove
At Grove Dental, we have five experienced pediatric dental specialists on staff- Drs. Mina Chung, Bob Stone, Nicholas Woodward, Mark Cabana and Diana Lee- dedicated exclusively to treating kids. Much like a pediatrician, a pediatric dentist has received specialized training and experience that gives them the knowledge to provide kids with the specific care and attention they need. Your kids will feel right at home - with the specially trained staff and each office that is decorated for the little ones- a comfortable setting designed especially for them.
Dental exams are very important for healthy teeth and gums. It's an easy way to prevent dental problems and give your children a perfect start to the school year. While you're here, we can discuss other important issues, like proper brushing, flossing techniques and dental sealants- a thin, clear coating that is bonded to the bumps and grooves of children's molars and pre-molars to block the food and germs that cause decay. And for those kids that are active in sports, we can custom-fit mouthguards to keep their teeth and mouth protected during physical activities.
We encourage regular visits to monitor your child's dental development and to educate you and your child about preventative care. Focusing on a proactive approach to dental care during your little one's growth and development years will help encourage good, lifelong dental habits and a healthy smile. It also helps the child build a comfortable relationship with the dentist to avoid the dental fear that many adults have.
Summertime is the perfect time to get your child into one of our four offices- Downers Grove, Bolingbrook, Wheaton or Lombard- for a comprehensive exam. Give Grove Dental a call today so you can start the school year off right. Not only is it a state requirement, it's one of the best ways to keep your child healthy and happy.

Find out why dental veneers might be the solution you've been looking for.
At Grove Dental, we offer a full array of cosmetic dental treatments. Whatever type of dental makeover is needed, patients can feel confident that our experienced Grove dentists will help them achieve their most beautiful smile.
One of the most popular and effective developments in cosmetic dentistry has been porcelain veneers- thin, translucent shells that conceal stubborn stains, gaps, chips, discoloration and other blemishes. These natural-looking restorations have the ability to mimic natural tooth enamel, making them virtually indistinguishable from your existing teeth. With veneers, you can improve the shape, size, length and color of your teeth all in one simple procedure.
Removing minimal tooth structure, this safe procedure involves adhering strong, thin shells to the front side of your teeth. What's even more exciting is it can be completed in just a few appointments at one of our four offices- Wheaton, Downers Grove, Lombard or Bolingbrook. Each veneer is custom crafted to seamlessly match the desired shape, size, color, and texture of your teeth, resulting in a beautiful smile.
Veneers are highly stain-resistant, durable, and with proper care, will last many years. You won't have to worry about your veneers staining over time. Veneers from Grove Dental will make your smile beautiful for many years to come!
If you're ready to get rid of annoying tooth discolorations or imperfections and achieve a virtually flawless smile, veneers may be the best solution for you. Talk to a Grove Dental doctor and find out the best cosmetic options for you. Whether you have chipped or stained teeth or gaps between teeth, cosmetic dentistry can help you improve your smile- no matter what the problem. Don't hide your teeth any longer, with veneers from Grove, you will show off a beautiful, healthy smile in just a few visits.
Grove created "4 for You!" 4 weeks - email reminder; 4 days - email confirmation; 4 hours - text reminder.
As technology continues to evolve, so is Grove Dental. That's why we are making it even easier for our tech-savvy patients to keep in touch with our practice.
At Grove, we believe communication is the key to a healthy smile. With many of our patients using cell phones and email for a majority of their communication, we are now offering a communication system built to better accommodate our patients' busy schedules. In the age of digital communication, email confirmations and text message appointment reminders have opened up doors for effective and efficient communication between Grove Dental and our patients.
Our new communication system gives you the ability to choose how you prefer to receive appointment reminders -- phone, email and/or text messages. Appointment next week? We'll send you an email reminding you of your date and time, and you can confirm your appointment with the click of a mouse. In addition, we can text an appointment reminder directly to your mobile phone four hours prior to the appointment. Whether you are out of town, at work or running your kids to soccer practice, we'll make sure you never miss an appointment. You can even request an appointment from our website. You decide how you'd like us to communicate with you, and we'll make sure you are always up-to-date with the information you need.
For those patients wishing to take advantage of our new email and text messaging system, please ensure that we have your current email address and mobile phone number when you visit for your next appointment.
This is just one more way we make going to the dentist convenient!
