What's not to love here? Dental appointments are always unpleasant(at least for me!), yet VIP Dental manages to assuage even squirrely patients like myself.
Spotless, organized, modern & up-to-date equipment, informative, flexible and above all else: professional.
No gimmicks, your insurance coverage is reviewed prior to treatment so there are no financial surprises and they offer orthodontic care to boot.
Jessica(HR/Office Manager) is beyond resourceful and always greets us warmly, as does Giselle at Reception. Dr. Lyuda is equally helpful, professional and easy to like!

V.I,P. Dental has been , by far , THE best experience I've had with a dentist... No snarkiness here , just caring professionals that want to take care of your dental (& mental ) health & well being ... From the soothing nature scenes that help take the edge off on the big screens TV's , to their efficient team that communicates so well with each other & their clients...What's not to love ? Upfront billing & they even try to save you money , which I was taken aback by ... Give them a try , you won't regret it.

Very welcoming environment and dental team. The doctor and hygienist were very informative and thorough, making sure i understood everything necessary for my care plan. The administrative staff was prompt with billing and ensuring insurance cleared and even offered me an exact estimate on site for my care. Really great experience and looking forward to continuing my care here in the future.

After reading great reviews, I went to VIP dental for a routine dental appointment. First, their scheduling team and front desk receptionists were very rude on the phone. When I walked in, they were all smiles. It was a long appointment and the x-rays took forever- nearly 40 min of X-rays and the X-ray kept dying. The only good thing there, that kept me going back a second time was the dental hygienist, who was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Their prices were very high and I spent less than 5 min with Dr L. I will not be going back a third time.

Going to the dentist is my least favorite annual commitment. However the VIP experience is best in class. They are very communicative during the visit, pause and let you ask questions and don't push you to commit to anything. Maybe I can learn to love going to the dentist now?! If you are looking for a comfortable environment with top notch equipment and staff, VIP Dental is for you!

We moved to Irving Park and I was ready for a dentist closer to our home. It was also the middle of COVID, and I was a bit leery, but needed to have someone check out some pain I was having. Everyone is so nice, very professional and pay attention to details, including cleanliness. I feel so comfortable being there. I hope I never have to move and find another dental group.

VIP Dental Lounge is the very best. You feel at home when you come in everything is spotless and sanitized. They took care of my tooth that chipped just in time before my wedding they made sure to fit me in couple times to get it done. Now I enjoy going to the dentist thanks to the amazing people at VIP Dental Lounge.

I want to take a moment to comment on the exceptional customer service I’ve experienced at VIP Dental Lounge. The entire staff are responsive, professional, and talented.
I move with work every 1.5-2 years and have had my share of dentist. Dr. Lyuda is a rare one. She cares tremendously, takes the time to ensure you are completely informed,… comfortable, and most importantly-does phenomenal work!
I almost never take time to write a review because you never know how consistent a business will be. But I’ve been with them for 2 years and the superior customer service continues to

This place is clean, professional, and the staff is extremely helpful. I decided to try out the neighborhood dentist and it has been an absolutely great decision! Finally found a dentist's office I like and let's just say I've always dreaded the dentists office.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good dentist. Due to COVID they are even more detail oriented. They even sanitize your face mask while you are being attended to by the dentist. Again great neighborhood location and they are always accommodating with schedules.

Doctor Lyuda and her Dental Assistants are beyond amazing including Luckaz. She is so gentle, she was born to do this. Even thought I felt very uncomfortable with the sales person Vivek, the Dentist, (sorry I… cant remember the names) the Polish Dental Assistant and the Puerto Rican Dental Assistant were BEYOND AMAZING! Great customer services very knowledgeable and courteous. Very modern an clean environment.

Wow. In retrospect, I was just hoping for a dentist who wouldn’t yell at me for crying - why is THAT so hard to find, by the way? - but the entire staff at VIP was so gentle and understanding, let me hold their hands and listen to music during my (long overdue) extraction, and Dr Lyuda was so kind, explained everything clearly, made sure I was *really really* numb before drilling, and I was in and out in less than 3 hours. And now this thing I’ve been putting off for 10 years is over! Thank you so much to everyone at VIP.

If you are looking for a dentist that you can trust, whose service is affordable, and whose team is the nicest team you will ever find, look no further. Dr. Lyuda is your doctor. She does an amazing work, and will always give you the best option that will work for you. How do I know that? My whole family did different dental work at VIP Dental… Lounge in Chicago, and couldn't be happier. I was shocked (happy shocked :)) when I found out that my 7 years old son let Dr. Lyuda fill his cavity without resisting. My son who is afraid of doctors and dentists in general, was so comfortable in the
