I have been dealing with a toothache for about 2 years. I contacted Lake Forest Dental and was given an immediate appointment. The staff was super friendly and made me feel comfortable and eased my nervousness. Dr. Telhorst and his staff have a great way of making you feel important and getting to the root of the problem. A simple root canal procedure has me coming back to satisfy all my dental needs. Thank you all for everything and keep up the amazing work!

I always have a positive experience when visiting Lake Forest Dental! In addition to having had routine cleanings and x-rays, I have had a root canal as well as replacement crowns done by Dr. Telhorst and the staff. Each procedure went smoothly! With each visit, the doctor and attending staff explained each step of the process so that I knew what to expect. This is definitely the best dental office that I have ever visited. The entire staff is welcoming and definitely attentive to patient needs and comfort.
