Edit after office response: I had told you my insurance became effective on August 1st, and that I couldn’t make the appointment that day (as in 7/19) because of my work schedule not being available yet. THAT is when you informed me you wouldn’t be able to see me “anyway” until September. Please do not make it seem like I was asking for anything unreasonable. In reference to helping me find a specialist, all that was given was a phone number and an *incorrect* address. And really, you wasted me $150 and my time. So no, that wasn’t helpful.Also, I told you I was in pain and waiting till September was quite a long time for someone who needed a root canal. You flat out told me you couldn’t do anything for me because I wasn’t an existing patient. Do you really think I wouldn’t ask for you to fit me in before September when I need a root canal? You handled this incorrectly. And even if I did want Dr Bannon as a DDS, I wouldn’t trust you with my appointments or financials. Do better.I called mid July for an emergency appointment was referred to the Endo Dr he refers to regularly because he was on vacation (Dr. Bannon- fine, everyone needs breaks). I went to my appointment, had X-ray, explained the pain I was in and was shown I had one tooth that was into the root, causing the daily pain and needed a root canal. Which btw wasn’t easy because I am disabled and have trauma due to dental experiences. Flash forward when the DDS comes back and I am getting calls and VMs from Dr Bannons office to come in. I finally catch one of these calls and let the person know that I haven’t called because of my insurance not becoming effective till the 1st and that my work schedule was out. Well, she stopped me and told me they weren’t going to be able to see me till September. Over a month away, I was shocked, said I’d find another place and hung up.Then I started thinking about it. I’ve been in the dental field and we had emergencies come in within 24 to 48 hours so I called back and asked her to see if this was an “emergency appointment” or an “new patient” appointment. And she said it didn’t matter, Her earliest was over a month away. I got excuses like...“We are catching up from Covid” or“We need to leave those appointments open in case for existing patients”Then she read me the email from the endo, eluding that because it didn’t sound like an emergency, she wasn’t able to fit me in.THIS is why people don’t go to the dentist. THIS is why people with disabilities have trauma and aren’t taken seriously when they have medical problems. I have to wait SIX WEEKS because some doctors note didn’t seems urgent enough? I’m in constant pain. Now I have to pay to get my records and X-rays from one Dr. I never even planned on seeing because no one bothered to tell me I’d have to live in pain for weeks before I would set FOOT in Dr Bannons office. I know it’s bad, I didn’t really need to pay someone $150 to tell me that and send me back to an unhelpful office.Amy, is her name I’m pretty sure. If not she is working the day shift today 7/19/21. She was not helpful in anyway. I don’t care if it’s her job or not. She needs to personally do better at communicating with people and the office needs to do better and stop looking at patients as money and when they call the office with emergencies, TELL THEM YOU DONT HAVE THE AVAILABILITY. It’s cruel not to. I thought I could trust Dr Bannon because he was my pediatric DDS and now I distrust dentists and their staff even more. Great work guys.

Many dentists out there, but not easy finding one as qualified and compassionate as Dr Bannon and his crew! I took for granted the excellent care that I received from him for many years, until I moved out of state! In the years living out of state and visiting several dentists (with bad experiences) It was a very easy decision for me to travel back to Downers Grove Illinois to have some extensive work done by Dr Bannon and his faithful crew around him! Can only tell you that in this rush around and make a buck world we live in, It’s becoming harder and harder to find quality people that actually care about you, and are not only thinking of dollar signs! Cannot imagine a day when Dr. Bannon is not practicing dentistry any longer!

Dr. Bannon does excellent work. He really cares about his patients, and has fixed some issues I have had that have been created by other dentists. His entire staff is kind and very professional. I wouldnt trust the health of my teeth to any other DDS.

Dr. Bannon and his staff are always welcoming with a smile and warm greeting. They take the time to explain what’s going on and what needs to be done.They go above and beyond with the latest technology and information.I’ve referred three patients to him for evaluation and all have been grateful for the care they have received.Thank you Dr. Bannon and everyoneDr Korwitts

The most knowledgable and caring dentist and staff I have ever had.

Dr Bannon takes the time to teach because he truly cares.

Always a very comprehensive and complete examination by Dr. Bannon. His staff and hygienists are very professional, caring and complete. Highly recommend Dr. Bannon and his office for all of your dental needs.

Without a doubt, Dr. Bannon and his team are the absolute BEST, most compassionate, kind, and professional dental team ever! My previous dentist had damaged 5 of my front permanent teeth. Not only were my teeth damaged, but the entire landscape of my mouth had changed. In addition to the structural changes, I was embarrassed to smile. In fact, the damage was so bad, I didn’t think it was possible to have my teeth restored without it being exceedingly obvious that my teeth had been “fixed”. That’s how bad it was. Dr. Bannon is an EXPERT beyond compare! My teeth look amazing, and I can smile again with confidence. I want to thank Dr. Bannon and his entire team: April, Meghan, Joy, Lori, Samantha, and Ruth for their exceedingly amazing care, expertise in handling all facets of my journey, and compassion in understanding how important one’s smile is! Thank you ALL so very much!!!

Dr. Bannon has been my dentist for 38 years and, although I now live an hour away, I still choose him for my dentist. He continues his studies to stay on top of his field and shares his knowledge with the entire staff. He is not only an exceptional dentist professionally, he is also kind and patient. All of the staff in his office reflect that kindness and patience as well as being individually good in their chosen fields. It was this office that suggested I be tested for sleep apnea, not my medical doctors, which turned out to be an accurate assessment. I highly recommend him.

It was my first time to the office and I was very impressed. The staff was outstanding, very thorough, professional and engaging. I’m looking forward to meeting Dr. Bannon and finding out his thoughts on a treatment plan for me.

Dr Bannon and his staff provide the highest quality dental care. While that is always important, during these pandemic times high quality care becomes even more vital.

Our family has been seeing Dr. Bannon for the past 25 plus years. He is a perfectionist, always willing to explain in detail any questions we may have. He is well versed with the latest research and technology in the field and brings that knowledge to the practice. I value his integrity in that he never recommends procedures that do not benefit the patient. The staff is super friendly and the dental hygienist excellent!! I have recommended this practice to family and friends and will continue to do so.

I am so grateful for all the staff here... I literally cried my first visit because Dr Bannon took the time to really take an in depth exam and answered questions and problems that I didn’t even know were related to my teeth and solved so many mysteries for me health wise. They are so sweet and so welcoming that I will never go anywhere else for the rest of my life because the amount of time they put into making me feel important. Thank you guys so much!

Dr Bannon is a very experienced and expert dentist who is always in the know as to what advancements are taking place in the dental arena. His staff is helpful and greatly qualified too. I have been going there for the last eight years and he and staff have helped me to keep my dental health at an excellent level. I highly recommend him. Best dentist Ive ever had in my many years of going to the dentist.

He has always been an outstanding dentist. I moved out of state and during my exam with my new dentist he couldn’t stop talking about the amazing work I had done. You know your dentist is top notch when another dentist compliments his work.

Ive been coming here for 14 years!!! Dr. Bannon is fantastic and nobody knows his craft better!! He always takes the time to explain everything very thoroughly and provides phenomenal dental care! No matter your issue!! He will resolve it!! My hygienist April is absolutely wonderful, personable and has been taking care of my teeth for many years!! She also takes time with patients to explain everything related to best self care and maintenance of healthy teeth and gums!!! You also wont get as thorough a cleaning anywhere else!!!Shes the best !! I would encourage everyone to come here for the best dental care around!!!

Going to the dentist now is more of a pleasant experience than it used to be for me I always had a lot of anxiety but all of the people there make you feel so comfortable and they do a fantastic job and the dentist is just as amazing I would recommend Dr. Bannon and his staff to everyone you will not be sorry

Very professional and caring staff. State of the art diagnostic, preventive and corrective dental work using technologically advanced materials and techniques. Dental work in progress is communicated clearly, done right the first time – every time - with no surprises. My wife and I are long time (decades) patients who appreciate Dr. Bannon and his staff in all they do.

The dentist and his assistant were very friendly and knowledgeable. The equipment seems very up-to-date. They took the time to explain everything to me. I gave 4 out of 5 stars since it seems to be quite expensive.

I’m one that is very afraid to visit the dentist because my teeth are extremely sensitive. I’m also a cancer patient who has been thru many rounds of chemotherapy which can reek havoc on your teeth and gums. I made an appointment to see Dr. Bannon because I have my gums deteriorating around my bottom teeth and my tongue is in so much pain from blisters I couldn’t eat and barely drink. Dr Bannon and his staff were so kind and extremely concerned that I was comfortable at all times. Everything was explained to me and we came up with a treatment plan that I felt I could do with out being a nervous Nellie. Dr Bannon spent a lot of time with me and my problem. His hygienist Joy also went above and beyond! This practice is the bomb! They will help you....with any of ur dental needs. They will do so keeping your needs and concerns in mind keeping you comfortable at all times! Thank you Dr. Bannon and staff... you rock!!!

Dr. Bannon was recommended to me by my primary physician (who is also his patient) in order to have several very old mercury fillings removed. I was a little apprehensive at first but learned that Dr. Bannon uses many procedures to ensure a safe removal. Also while working on my teeth Dr. Bannon talks to me and let’s me know exactly what he is doing which is very reassuring. I was also impressed by Dr. Bannons addressing my other dental issues which I didn’t know were affecting my general health. I believe that Dr. Bannon is dedicated to achieving his patient’s optimal dental health.

I have been a patient of Dr Bannon for about 45 years, since I was a child. My wife and our son are now patients of Dr Bannon as well. We have always received the greatest of care, including outstanding communication and chair-side manner from he and all of his staff. The technology used is always on the leading edge and the dedication to passion for his work is clearly evident. Whether for routine hygiene visits or complex work, I wouldnt trust my teeth, or my families teeth to anyone else.

Dr. Bannon provides the best dental care ever. His knowledge is superior and skill is of the highest quality. His treatment of an emergency procedure that I was in need of was handled immediately, efficiently, patiently, and with continuous concern for my comfort. I am very pleased to have such a fine dentist.

My family and I have been coming to Doctor Bannons office for 30 years. Needless to say, we are very satisfied with his services. The quality of his work is excellent and his knowledge is far above average. He and his staff are both caring and professional.

Dr. Bannon is AMAZING! He really listens and spends time working with your individual needs. He has helped me tremendously! I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!

I am consistently happy with every visit at this office. Dr. Bannon is very knowledgeable and kind and so is everyone else in the office. All of us love coming here. This is the only dentist office I am really happy to visit every time! My daughter has a retainer and they have been most attentive, encouraging and firm every time she comes for a checkup. Exactly what we need. Today I came in to check one tooth and was greeted by wonderful Ruth at the front desk and April who has been most attentive to my needs all the time. April examined the tooth. She was very thorough. She took pictures, tested the teeth sensitivity, the crown, she also kept looking and found a piece of popcorn. Then Dr. Bannon and Meghan examined more and confirmed what was going on and explained thoroughly what the situation was and what my best option was. April and Ruth researched my insurance. I am very happy and feel I am in great hands and among my kind of people. And this is just one example, there are so many positive others. The hygienist Joy is most wonderful and knowledgeable every time we come for cleaning. This summer we had lots of fun and learned a lot from her when my kids came to brush up on their brushing with electric brush😀. I highly recommend Dr. Bannon and this office.

From Marilyns husband, Chip Webster: Just had my annual cleaning and checkup. We have been going to Dr. Bannon for over 32 years now. We both think that Dr. Bannon is the best dentist in the area. He keeps up with the latest technology.

Without a doubt, Dr. Bannon and his team are probably the best dental team in the country. They have cutting edge technology and education coupled with genuine caring! What could be better?!

Dr. Bannon is like an extension of our family. His entire staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and makes us feel like we are at home.Dr. Bannon’s knowledge, skill and patience is absolutely amazing. I have never been to a dentist who is more kind and compassionate than him. I highly recommend his office to anyone especially if you have kids.

Dr. Bannon was extremely thorough and took the time to develop and explain the treatment plan. He is kind and has an excellent bedside manner. His staff was excellent and they bent over backwards to fit me in.

Dr. Bannon and his entire practice, staff and office environment are truly the high mark of their industry. In particular, April has been a delight to work with, her expertise and knowledge is impressive and professionalism is very much appreciated. I would recommend them to family and friends. One of the best dental offices around.

Best dental experience every time! Pain free too! Highly recommended!

Great dentist, been my familys dentist for 40+ years. Always ahead of the curve on the best care, always learning. Keep it up Dr Bannon.👍

Very nice and helpful receptionist. These dentists actually care.

My 4 kids & I have been going to Dr Bannon for 23 years. Dr Bannon is extremely knowledgeable, kind & friendly. He is thorough, explains things well & very trustworthy. His staff is great. Very upbeat, friendly & also very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!!!

Dr Bannon is fantastic. He is very thorough and explains the process his non evasive approach has proven very effective. While others want to pull childrens teeth and put braces on at an early age Dr Bannon focuses on proper development, not rushing the process that can cause future complications.

I have never had such a comfortable experience with a dentist before!! Dr Bannon and his amazing staff went above and beyond when I walked in without an appointment for an emergency situation with a wisdom tooth. Each and every staff member I worked with showed such care and pride in their work. I will definitely be back for any of my dental needs.

Very friendly & knowledgeable hygienists & Dr. Bannon has been my dentist of choice since childhood. Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!

I have been a patient of Dr. Bannon for years. Hes great. Very knowledgeable and explains everything in a manner that is easy to understand. He also doesnt do any work that is not necessary.

I called in reference to an appointment/ position was greeted like a princess over the phone. Walked into the office was looked at as if I had two heads. The greeting was very DRY. Didnt meet the Doctor I was in and out at the blink of an eye. I wouldnt refer my enemy to this practice.

Dr. Bannon is my dentist for the last 30 years. I find his knowledge, skills, staff and on-going education exceptional. He always has the time to discuss options at a level the patient understands. I feel it is my body and I want the best to assist me in caring for it. I have experienced that with Dr. Bannon and he is that dentist.

Our family has benefitted from Dr Bannons caring and progressive dentistry for over 25 years. Before that I hated going to the dentist but now see it as a visit to the tooth spa as Dr. Bannon keeps my teeth healthy with pain-free treatments when necessary and his hygienists (most recently Joy) do an exceptional job of making my teeth feel wonderfully clean. The whole team is genuinely friendly and gives great advice about continuing care.

Dr. Bannon and his staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly. Ive never had a completely painless shot of Novocain before, and their work was superb!

Moving to Georgia I’ve had dentists comment on the amazing work of Dr. Bannon. That goes to show that Dr. Bannon takes his profession seriously and is passionate about the work he does.

The visit was wonderful . Dr. Bannon is one of the best.

I literally called Dr. Bannon out of the blue on a Sunday about 22 years ago. Our 2 year old son had injured his tooth jumping on the bed. Needless to say, I was freaking out. I called the number for our dentist at the time. I didnt expect an answer, but there was not even a message when I called the number. It just kept ringing. Not at all helpful. I had remembered a conversation with a neighbor bragging about Dr. Bannon, so I called his office out of desperation. The phone forwarded to his personal number and he picked up. He was sick that day, but he took the time to asked me questions and reassured me that the tooth would be fine and invited me to come into his office the next day. I never expected to be treated in such a caring way, as if I was a patient of his. We did go in the next day and I was so impressed with him that I switched over to his practice. Over the next several years, my son had issues with his teeth that led to cavities. He went for fillings several times and he was not even aware that there was a needle or pain involved in the procedure. We moved to another suburb and I made the mistake of taking him to another dentist. It did not work out well, so we ended up back with Dr. Bannon. I have remained a faithful patient of Dr. Bannon through the years and would not consider having anyone else be my dentist. It is a competitive profession, but Dr. Bannon is a rare dentist with his skillful and painless injection techniques, his ability to work and communicate what he is doing at the same time, his holistic approach to dentistry, his exceptional professional character and integrity. I have never doubted his judgment on anything - he is completely trustworthy! I have also enjoyed his hygienists as well - all very top notch!

Ive been going here my whole life and the staff has always been great. Dr. Bannon is the best in the business!

Great dentist and great staff. Best I’ve ever found at minimizing pain during work.

Fast and friendly! Always feel like Im in great hands! Always on cutting edge with new equipment, techniques.

Dr Bannon is the most gentle, knowledgeable and a dentist with the highest standards. I still come to him from NC because I am unable to find that level of expertise where I live.

Dr. Bannon has been my dentist since 1985, and he is the BEST!! He is well-informed and up-to-date with the latest technologies. His equipment is also the latest in technology. Ive never had to wait long for appointments and completely trust him and his dental assistants. He has made some great crowns for me and advised me to have all of my mercury fillings removed, which I agreed with whole heartedly and my mouth looks so much better today. I now live in the northwest suburbs after living in Naperville for 20 years and drive to Downers Grove just to have him be my dentist!

Doctor Bannon and his staff are the only professionals I trust for my dental care. Ive been coming to his office for over 30 years (my entire life!) and have referred friends and family members along the way. He truly is one of the best there is.

Always a pleasure to see Dr. Bannon and his staff. The level if care is outstanding.

Weve been going to Dr. Bannon for over 30 years now! And even though weve retired and now live 70 miles away, not just 10, it is so worth it to still come to him for THE best dental care around! And health in general - he lives the life he advocates and isnt shy about giving everyone all the resources they need to live a happy and healthy life!

Dr Bannon has been my choice for my dentist for 25 years - NEVER have I been disappointed with the quality of service of the staff and office overall. If you could only see me smiling now ~ thank you all!!

Always thorough. Great staff. I know my teeth are in good hands.

Extremely helpful during the appointment! Everything clearly explained and tips given to improve oral hygiene techniques!

Ive been a long time patient of Dr. Bannon and staff. I turned on the computer and began reading comments made by other patients. Wow. Do I need to say more? Probably not. Id be repeating their comments. Dr. Bannon, the hygienists, the receptionists, .... the office staff tell me that I am their valued patient and its their pleasure to serve me. Well, this is what I have to tell them. Dr. Bannon and staff ... YOU ARE MY VALUED DENTAL CARE PROVIDERS. Its my pleasure and good fortune to be your patient. Thanks and see you soon.

I have been a patient of Doctor Bannon for 24 years! He is a gifted Doctor with genuine interpersonal skills that make the experience incomparable. Dr. Bannon is extremely delicate in his procedures and his work is painless and very tolerable. He will explain every single move he makes when he is working on your teeth. It is clear that he wants to educate his patients so that they also value dental hygiene. He always makes me feel appreciated by asking about my life. He knows my whole family and remembers stories that I tell him, even when I dont see him for six months! I highly recommend seeing Doctor Bannon for any dental procedures as I truly believe he is the best in his profession.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Bannon for someone who is looking for experienced, caring, funny and seeking perfection dentist. Dr. Bannon was the only one who helped me to have my braces without the need to pull out any teeth and I am grateful for that. I have been coming to this office for about 2 years and I would say, I never experienced such friendly environment. Dr. Bannon office offers cold laser therapy, which really helped me to avoid the pain, since having braces can be a little bit uncomfortable. I am really happy with my progress and I cant wait to have my perfect smile!

I have been going to this practice longer than I can remember. THenames may change but the attitude is always the same. A friendly, what can I do for yo u attitude is always there.

I saw Dr Babit and Tracy and they both were outstanding 😊

Best dentistry. I now live 150 miles away and still go to Dr Bannon.

A totally great experience! Dr Bannon and staff are all true professionals.

Dr. Bannon goes beyond being an excellent dentist. Noting my teeth grinding, he asked a few questions including morning fatigue, frequent awakening and snoring, and recommended I seek a sleep study through my family doctor. Turns out I do have sleep apnea which has significant consequences. He also rid me of my childhood mercury-based fillings which can leak neurotoxins as they break down. You learn a lot being his patient!

Weve gone to Dr. Bannon for at least 20 years and have excellent dental care and no dental problems.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Bannon for 30 years or more. In all that time we have been provided dental care of exceptional quality, from expert and compassionate evaluation and treatment to valuable education regarding our dental health. Dr. Bannons practice philosophy is reflected in the professionalism and skill of his dedicated staff, both clinical and reception. (Special kudos to April!) Patients of Dr. Bannon are afforded the latest in preventive dental care and state-of-the-art treatment. I very highly recommend Dr. Bannons practice to anyone seeking the best in dental care.

Ive been a patient of Dr. Bannon since 1983 and he is the only dentist I have ever been to. People are always surpirsed to hear that I actally enjoy going to the dentist and look forward to my 6 month cleanings. I guess its because I have known nothing but pleasant and pain free experiences.Dr. Bannon and his staff are all wonderful. They are knowledgeable, very helpful and friendly. I know Im lucky to have had my teeth in good hands from the start.

More than a DentistI have been a patient of Dr Bannon for over 38 yrs, and he has always provided a comfortable, pain free experience for me and my family. I firmly believe Dr Bannon is the primary reason that i am denture free after 70 yrs. But my comments on this review concentrate on a Shout out of thanks to dr bannon for his expertise in an area outside of dentistry. During a teeth cleaning visit a few months ago,when dr bannon followed up on meghan, my hygenist, another knowledgeable professional (where does he find these people?),for his usual final check,he asked if i ever had a sleep study. He said the back of my throat was very narrow, a 3 plus on a scale of 4 and i could possibly have sleep apnea. I had a sleep study test and it confirmed that i stopped breathing 46 times every hour. Consequently, I now use a CPap machine at night and now my breathing stops 3 times per hour. The effects of sleep apnea include: high blood pressure, stroke, heart failure, irregular heart beat, heart attack, diabetes,depression,worsening ADHP, and headache.So, would i recommend Dr Bannon as a choice for a dentist? Absolutely and along with his dental expertise, you will be cared for by an individual with a thirst for knowledge and earnest curiosity for any area with the slightest connection with oral medicine. a truly gifted man.

My husband, Greg, and I are both long-time patients of Dr. Bannon. On my recent visit for a checkup and cleaning, I was happy to hear that Dr. Bannon and his staff are screening all patients for airway obstruction. If Dr. Bannon expresses concern about your airway, please check it out with your doctor. I use a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine each night. This has saved my life and given me the best sleep of my life. Thanks, Dr. Bannon, for providing this life-saving service and for being a great dentist! Mary Ouska

Dr. Bannon has been my dentist for over 30 years and now sees my children, as well. My children are elementary and middle-school aged and as such, we are at the office A LOT. We live a good distance away from the office, but I would not trust my or my childrens dental health to anyone else. I had a horrible experience with a dentist at a very young age and appreciate the value of a good dentist. Dr. Bannon and his staff are the ultimate professionals. Dr. Bannon is extremely knowledgeable about everything dentistry and is up to speed on all of the latest technology and advancements. He and his staff are very personable and go out of their way to make all of us comfortable at every visit. My children have had some out-of-the-ordinary issues with their teeth and Dr. Bannon has gone above-and-beyond in solving the issue and in keeping us informed. I have always highly recommended Dr. Bannon and will continue to do so.

Great team, very patient and knowledgable on care. Been with them for 15+ years.

My Husband and I have been patients of Dr. Patrick Bannon for about 35 years.
