Dr. J at Lakeland Hills Dental has been my dentist in Fairview Heights for over 15 years—a customer recommended him, and now I recommend him to everyone. The office and staff are impeccably clean, friendly, and caring. They never overbook and take time with each client, whether it's teeth pullings, root canals, or cleanings. Highly recommend for restorative dentistry in Illinois!

My wisdom tooth was killing me, so I called Lakeland Hills Dental in the morning and got an appointment with Dr. Joe that same afternoon in Fairview Heights.

Dr. Joe and his staff at Lakeland Hills Dental in Fairview Heights are the best of the best. He makes me feel like family, and his hygienist Corinna is super detailed and nice to talk to—she really makes you comfortable. The whole team deserves gold stars for their cosmetic dentistry and general care in Illinois. Keep it up!

The cleanings at this Fairview Heights dentist are excellent, and the staff does a thorough job. But during my last visit, the hygienist awkwardly mentioned she didn't know my nationality when explaining a dark spot on my gum, which was unnecessary and uncomfortable. I'm American, just like her. I've noticed other microaggressions before but dismissed them, wanting to give the benefit of the doubt. However, they keep proving they don't interact well with black patients.
Owner Response

Broken molar and leaving next week for a trip, I was accepted for treatment and my tooth was restored for travel and a later crown placement.

After my 4th visit to Dr. Joe and his dental staff, I can confidently give a full 5-star rating! Although almost no one enjoys going to the dentist, the team at Lakeland Hills always smoothes over my dental fears. First, they're friendly; they also explain my options for oral health without using technical jargon. Good work, Lakeland. 😁

Look forward to seeing you on a consult Friday and going over your options. We already have sent in the pre estimates to insurance!
