Dr. Balaban and his team are the absolute best. Dr. Balaban extracted a wisdom tooth for me and it was completely pain-free. I have gone to Smile Arts Dentistry for many years and the experience is always great. I highly recommend Smile Arts Dentistry.

Doctor Balaban and his care of our dental health was the best things that happened to us in Indiana. And it was ta biggest loss when we left the state. Foe many years living in US we got the best ? the most professional care. Crowns that I got from Dr. Balaban are the lightest and most comfortable. I have a lot of crowns and I can feel the difference. Thanks to all of yoy

The absence of quality, professionalism, and guidance that Dr. Alex Balaban possesses are greatly beyond an understatement. My agonizing journey with Dr. Balaban began when he reassured me that he could straighten a minor cosmetic fix with braces. Unfortunately, this was the greatest regret of my life. The first day that the braces were installed, several of the brackets fell off. In fact, nearly every week the brackets broke and fell off. A supposedly 10-month treatment lasted for over 4 years, and out of that time, Dr. Balaban had to install the braces twice after recognizing the inadequate quality in his own performance. Under his supervision, I went through unimaginable pain and suffering - a trauma that still lasts to this day. After he took off the second set of braces, another problem transpired - the retainer. An item that is supposed to last someone forever lasted me only weeks. Regularly, my retainers broke and I was tortured with new impressions and was left without any retainer at all for weeks at a time. Once this doctor saw that he was incapable of such work and that there was nothing else for him to experiment on me with, he forgot about me and kicked me out of his practice. However, while all of this agony was happening, the charges kept piling up and were never disclosed. The worst is yet to come. Out of the four years that I was under his treatment for a promised 10-month fix, it is not even the time or the amount of money that I had put in with him that upsets me the most. It is what his services resulted in. As a result of Dr. Balabans work, I suffer from a cracking jaw every single time that I eat or open my mouth - something that was never a problem before he became my dentist. In my opinion, he is a liar, a thief, and a fraud. Yet, after all of this pain that I had experienced, he had the audacity to tell me that I needed 3 cavities filled immediately. I was in shock because I know that I brush and floss my teeth twice a day. Luckily, I went to a different dentist for a second opinion to see if those cavities were there. However, what came next was not just a feeling of true deception and betrayal, but a feeling of hopelessness because there were no cavities found in the spots where Dr. Alex Balaban so urgently wanted to fix. A dentist is someone that you can trust and go to with your problems. Unfortunately, Dr. Balaban is not that kind of individual. To all who read this review, please be remarkably careful of this person, and if it were me, I would just choose someone else. Thank you for reading and do not make the same mistake as I did.

Our whole family has been seeing Dr. Balaban for 14 years. We have received fabulous dental care. Dr. Balaban is patient with anxious kids. He also explains any dental issues in great detail and works well in tandem with our orthodontist. Office staff is kind, responsive and personable. We’ve always had a positive experience and are treated like family when we are there!

Absolutely love Dr. Balaban, Linda, and the entire team. They are efficient, courteous, friendly, and all dental work done correctly. Everything is explained well and discussed throughout the process. They truly put the patient first in all regards. My entire family has had a wonderful experience for over 10 years! (My 5 year old daughter LOVES the kids waiting room/play area. We usually go extra early so she has more time to play!)

Review №14

Dr. Balaban has been my dentist for almost 20 years. Alex is an incredible person and a skilled professional. When I started coming to him, my teeth were a wreck and I was terrified of dentists. Alex laid out a plan of reconstruction that gave me back a happy smile. Gentle skilled hands, painless dentistry, and he didnt break the bank. I have had implants, lumineers, crowns and root canals. In fact, we just drove up 1100 miles from Florida to come to Alex for a major repair. I would not trust anyone else to be my Dentist.

Dr.Balaban and his staff are absolutely amazing! They did fillings on our 6 and 5 year old in 5 minutes and there was no need for sedation. The boys didn’t feel a thing and it was such a refreshing and wonderful experience. He is great with kids! Previous dental offices we consulted prior to finding Smile Arts Dental were planning full on anesthesia for something that was done so easily and quickly and didn’t need any numbing at all. Our 2 year old also had his first cleaning and loved it. We are so lucky to have found this excellent dentist and have moved our entire family over to Smile Arts Dental. Don’t hesitate. Make an appointment today.You will be so happy you did.

I have also been a long time patient of Dr. Balabon. I have never been disappointed. This last time I was so comfortable, I took a nap in the chair while waiting for my cap to be made - right in the office. I was in and out with new crown in about an hour and a half - including the half hour nap!!

A friend told me to go here because she has anxiety about going to the dentist as well. I had some very bad experiences in the past. When I called, the secretary was so sweet when I told her that I hadn’t been to the dentist in a long time. Dr Balaban has a very calming nature and made me feel more comfortable. They also don’t pressure you into doing things and understand that finances come into play as well. So glad I came and I will be coming every 6 months like I’m supposed to now!

Enjoy going to dr. Balaban and his generous staff! I’ve been going to him throughout the years and he always goes the extra mile without charging extra. I usually get right in and when my son was born tongue-tied he was able to use a laser to separate it in a quick pain free visit!

I highly recommend Dr Balaban, I did teeth clean and wisdom teeth extraction here, the stuff here is nice and patience, I took 3 wisdom teeth at one time and it costs me $225 for each, after insurance, I only paid $ 55 for each!! Amazing! I have a friend in New York and she spent thousand on for 1 teeth extraction! I would recommend more friends to come here.

I chipped a tooth today and was thrilled Smile Arts was able to fit me into their schedule immediately, and I didnt have to even sleep one night with this rough, jagged tooth. Thank you, Smile Arts and Dr. Bloom, for handling my emergency without making me feel like I was messing up your schedule. My tooth is 100% back to normal! It was painless and the staff couldnt have been more caring.

Review №46

I used to hate dentist’s appointments, I hated that feeling right before the appointment, that’s how it was since my childhood, until I visited “Smile Arts Dental”. Dr. Balaban has changed my opinion about dental care. Certainly, no one could make a dentist’s appointment a very pleasant experience, however, when I go to “Smile Arts Dental” I don’t have that bad feeling anymore. I have been a patient of Dr. Balaban for many years. He is a perfectionist in his field and he ensures that the procedure is done exactly right. He does great work and doesn’t look for ways to charge more. The patient’s interest is always the highest priority for him. Also, I am very pleased with their work schedule, they are open on Monday until 7pm, and ready to serve you on Saturday. “Smile Arts Dental” provides great service and care from the front desk to the doctor and the staff. A big thank you to all of them.

I absolutely hated and dreaded going to the dentist growing up. I started going to Dr. Balaban in 2007 and after my first cleaning I was able to relax about going to the dentist and cleanings. A few years later I started getting my first cavities ever and Dr. Balaban made sure to get these taken care of right away! He made sure that I was comfortable, and felt nothing during the fillings. One time when I mentioned that I hated my smile Dr. Balaban went above and beyond trying to help me find the right smile for me. When we started talking prices of this new smile he understood that it would not be happening anytime soon.Fast forward to 2018 I end up chipping both of my front teeth really badly that it was not pretty at all. They were chipped jagged and completely in half. I called and Linda the receptionist answered and was able to get me in immediately to get them fixed. We ended up filling the teeth to look like teeth again. Because I have extremely brittle teeth and I end up cracking them again at least a couple times. Dr. Balaban and Linda worked with me and my insurance to try and get them fixed as crowns to be a more permanent fix before anything extreme happened and I had no front teeth any longer.After a year and a half of fighting and being denied with several different insurance companies to pay for my crowns due to them thinking it was all needed for cosmetic reasons. Dr. Balaban, Linda and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to help fight the insurance companies for me so I would not have to pay as much. They would resubmit claim after claim with additional information every time on why I needed this done. Insurance ended up not paying any of it and I went ahead and had my front 4 teeth done as crowns. Once again I was at 100% ease with this place doing my teeth. I trusted all of them to do a good job. When I went back today to get my permanent crowns put in on I was over the top satisfied with them. The whole appointment went really fast because Dr. Balaban didn’t even have to do anything the crowns fit and looked that good! I absolutely love the look of them. For the first time ever I can’t stop smiling! They feel like glass they are so smooth. Every single person has told me there is no way these are my new teeth because they look amazing and 100% real. I can’t stop smiling now and can’t wait to show them off!Thank you Dr. Balaban, Linda and the Smily Arts team! You all are the best and do a great job going above and beyond for all your patients to have the best smile and oral health possible. Smile Arts Dental is the best dentist I have ever gone to and has definitely made a big impact in my own life in more ways than not! I highly recommend him and this place hands down!! They are all super friendly, go above and beyond, up to date on latest dental procedures, and extremely professional! 100% satisfied and recommend for sure hands down!!!!! I would not trust my teeth with anyone else! They know more about me and my family/work/life that they are part of my family after all these years! Thanks for changing one smile at a time!!!!!!

My family of 6 have been with Dr Alex Balabans practice since 2010. Dr Balaban and his friendly team have catered to all of our dental health needs with utmost care and highest quality. We cannot thank them enough for excellent service!Dr Balaban is a true professional, which is acknowledged by many of his patients, including us, and by his peers around the state who voted for him as the Best Dentist of the Year many times.Have no hesitation whatsoever to seek Dr Balabans services and professional advice. You will get the best dental care in the Midwest!

I dislike going to the dentist. And, it has cost me dearly for delaying it. Dr. Balaban has educated me on good dental care, as it especially applies to a diabetic. His staff is more than friendly, and they know you and your family well. But, I still hate going to the dentist. He just makes it more tolerable.

Dr. Balaban talented & poised professional who knows exactly what to do to address any issue & can make appropriate treatment immediately & expediently to do what needs to be done. Referred by 5 star endodontist, I felt as if Id entered palace of hospitality, efficacy & gentle kindness in manner of diplomacy found only in rare places on this map of many who passed test & this is the man who can do the work, whatever it be, with flawless delivery. Hes worth driving across state lines & flying in for remedy! no matter where U are, BELIEVE there is a solution which fits perfectly for your oral hygiene & joy of smiling & dining with teeth he helps create. Dr. Balaban & staff follow Hippocratic oath which is reason to schedule your appointment with him. I wished he was my dentist from day one. I feel very fortunate to be his patient! Thank you for authentic people & practice.
