I can't recommend this practice enough! We moved to the area 7 years ago and once settled I started looking for a dentist. Now...I have PTSD with dentists. I had some really bad luck with crappy ones that messed up my teeth and I'll be that person who starts to cry and hyperventilate when others wouldn't even bat an eye. A friend recommended this practice and I hesitantly made my way there although not covered by my insurance. I'm really glad I did. In the intake form I mentioned my struggles and once on the chair we talked about my past experience, what they could do to put

We’ve been going to Uptown Dentistry since my kids were toddlers. The entire staff always makes us feel welcome and comfortable. My daughter is very nervous about dental visits and they are super patient and accommodating with her. We’ve always been able to reach the doctors in any emergency and they have been ready to answer any concerns. We’re sad to be moving away this summer because it will be hard to find another office that could match the quality of care we’ve enjoyed here for years.

My family has been seen at Uptown for years- the staff is always kind, professional, puts everyone at ease and provides excellent care. For my children who don’t love the dentist, Dr.Jeff is patient and has them laughing by the time we leave. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I highly recommend Dr. Ruttencutter at Uptown Dentistry in Park Ridge. He helped me get my smile back! After having a tooth pulled several years ago, I would always shy away from smiling or laughing. He did such a wonderful job with my dental implant recently that even I can’t tell which of my tooth is the implant. The best part is I can once again talk, smile and laugh confidently without any hesitation. So grateful for Uptown Dentistry and Dr. Ruttencutter’s expertise!

My wife and I recently moved to the area and were recommended by our new neighbors to give Uptown Dentistry a try. We have both been very pleased with the appointment punctuality and efficiency, proper office Covid precautions and overall patient care.
Dr. Jeff and staff are professional, personable and get our full recommendation.

I highly recommend Uptown Dentistry! I can’t say enough good things, but I can say my daughter used to go to a pediatric dentist and screamed and cried at her appts even when they were just cleanings. Dr. Jeff at Uptown has now pulled 12 teeth of hers and she still likes going there. In my book, that says it all! He has a very calming and relaxed nature about him that puts you at ease and always tells you what’s going to happen ahead of time. They are always super punctual and front desk very friendly too. My husband sees Dr. Marta and really likes her too and he’s very very particular about

Can not say enough great things about Uptown Dentistry! Dr. Jeff is the best dentist I've ever been to. He has a great attention to detail, is communicative about the process so you know what to expect, is patient and concerned about your comfort level during procedures and clearly takes pride in his work. The office is state of the art with cool new technology to make the process easier, and is clean and comfortable without being cold and sterile. The staff are always friendly, efficient and have been a pleasure to work with. They are also awesome about building a realistic schedule to not leave

Uptown dentistry is absolutely the best. The staff is friendly and are a pleasant to work with. Patient and staff safety is a priority since they have welcomed us back from the pandemic. My 5 year old had his first cavity and Dr Jeff made him feel safe and calm and he did not shed one tear!

Uptown Dentistry is the best dental office by far! I personally love going to the dentist, but after my old dentist retired it was hard for me to find one that met my standards. I am so glad to have come to Uptown Dentistry where they far exceed my expectations. So clean, so thorough, so kind..... I will never be able to say enough great things about them! I’ve had experience with Dr. Jeff and Dr. Marta and they’re both fantastic along with the rest of the staff. You have to make this your forever dental office... that’s all I’m saying.

Wonderful experience at Uptown Dentistry! My family has been going to Uptown Dentistry since we moved to Park Ridge in 2012. The kids were 3 & 6 at that time. They loved the doctors, staff and office from the get go (prize box doesn't hurt) and 8+ years later, they still look forward to their 2x/year visits! We have seen Dr. Jeff & Dr. Priscilla primarily, but have seen other docs as well. They are all great! The whole office is welcoming. When I had a persistent tooth issue, they saw me many times, looking for the root cause of the issue! And, the office itself is beautiful

Dr. Jeff Ruttencutter and his team are highly skilled in any oral healthcare need and procedure. They always go above and beyond to make sure that I receive incredible treatment in a welcoming and relaxed environment. They are always committed to helping me feel at ease when I visit for my procedures. From the moment you enter the office, the dental staff is cheerfully caring for you and the cleanliness of the facility makes me feels safe. The doctors take their time to explain and listen to my questions before and after my appointments.

Hi!
I'm a previous patient of the clinic, but we moved out to San Diego a couple years ago.
I had a crown placed today and although my current dentist is fine and I have no complaints about him, the whole time I was there, I was thinking how all of my experiences at Uptown were exceedingly exceptional. Even though I needed some unpleasant dental work, I never had a horrible experience.
Just wanted to pass along that, even after a couple of years, your service is appreciated and

"My children and I had our routine checkups today. This was our first appointment since Covid-19 started and my 6 year old was especially nervous about going. Dr. Jeff and the entire staff were extremely professional and friendly as always and both of my kids felt at ease as soon as we got there. Always a great experience at Uptown Dentistry."

For the first 23 years of my life, I went to the same, not-so-appealing dental office. When I made the switch to Uptown Dentistry, I was shocked at how nice the facility and people could be! To say I've had my fair share of dental complications is an understatement. So, for better or worse, I've had a lot of experience with Uptown Dentistry, specifically Dr. Jeff. He has always treated me with kindness and respect, and he explains things clearly and thoroughly, providing his suggestions and possible outcomes. In one particular case, I was pregnant, about to leave town, and needed a root

Dr. Chang and Dr. Ruttencutter are real nice doctors! They are very professional, knowledgeable and have great bedside manners. I am always impressed with their ability to explain my family's dental conditions to us so patiently and kindly in simple terms. Stepping into their office is like going to the spa-with the lovely decor. The staff is kind and helpful and I highly recommend the office.

Had to switch dentists due to an insurance change and happily found Uptown Dentistry. The staff is great and the office/equipment is state of the art. I have been there both for a cleaning and to have my tooth pulled. I had some pain after the extraction and called the office to see if I can get in. No hesitation, I was in within the hour. The attention to detail and the caring staff has made this transition a wonderful experience. My 8-year old loves it there! Thank you to the entire staff!! Highly recommend!!!

I just left Uptown Dentistry after having a cavity filled and I could not have been more pleased. Erin, the receptionist is so delightful and easy to talk to. I like that she has all the estimated costs up front and ready for you to look over before any work is done. No surprises!
Dr. Jeff is so sweet and sensitive, but also FAST! Nobody likes sitting in the dentist's chair in the first place and he is very precise and speedy with his work. That was much appreciated! He was also very cautious with pain management. He starts with minimal numbing (with your consent) and then will increase

I have not found a dentist that I felt comfortable with in a long time. My wife told me about this dentist in Park Ridge and how great he was. I stopped in to make an appointment and they had a cancellation so they took me right in because I needed X-rays and my teeth to be cleaned. First of all this place is so cool it's so contemporary and they make you feel so comfortable , every single person that I talked with there was friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Jeff said he'd have me out of there within an hour and he was right on time. This is by far the best experience I

For 34 years I went to the same dentist, but finally decided to switch to someone closer to where I live. Uptown Dentistry was fairy new at the time I switched, but it looked nice and had good reviews on Yelp. I took a chance and made the switch and it's been the best thing! Dr. Jeff is awesome and so is the staff! Visiting the dentist is a pleasant experience! They have the new technology (at least new to me) that makes cleanings super simple, painless and fast! They even have a tv that is over your head while they are working on you which is a nice distraction!
