If you want to love going to the Dentist, you have to
try Cater Dental. I love everything about this place.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, high tech equipment, including lots of airfilters (thankyouCovid). Dr. Matthew is very competent and personable. He's always willing to answer questions and explains what he is doing and why.

I’ve been going to see Dr. Cater for many years and it’s always a pleasure. He takes time with his patients and explains everything. You don’t feel rushed with Dr. Cater. You feel like you’re visiting a friend.

I was very impressed after hearing they had been in the same location since the 1990s. The place is very clean I thought they had only been there maybe a year or two. Very organized. Prices are neutral.

We’ve been using Cater Dental for years. I broke a tooth earlier this week and they got me right in and fixed it today. What a relief. I like Dr Cater because he tries hard to do just enough to solve the problem and to keep me out of complex solutions like crowns and bridges. I used to live in Lombard 10 years ago. I still go to Lombard to visit Cater Dental because we trust them.

I have been a patient for 25+ years and then my kids became patients, much like Dr. Cater’s son, Dr. Rhett, became a dentist! 🦷Always easy to schedule an appointment - even for emergencies - everyone is friendly and caring and you are never encouraged to have unnecessary procedures. 👍❤️😁

I went in with a horrible toothache and Dr. Cater was very good about explaining what may or may not be going on. I’m usually very nervous going to the dentist. Today I was not at all! The staff is super friendly too!

I dreaded finding a new dentist after moving here a few years ago. I have a challenging mouth not to mention anxiety and bad memories of lots of drilling and pain when I was younger. After being highly recommended, I finally broke down and went to see Dr. Cater. Unlike previous dentists, he respected my choice not to discuss implants, or to be given Novocaine and agreed some people don't need it. Rosio (?) gave me a painless, thorough cleaning, making me feel comfortable and continually telling me what she was doing and how long it would take. If you are a dental chicken, or have bad memories

Dr. Cater is one of the best in the area. He takes time with his patients and generally wants to find the root (no pun intended) of the problem. He's not about charging you as much as possible. He has a passion for what he does and makes you feel at ease when you visit him. He also saw me for about 1 hour when I was getting a 2nd opinion about a problem and ended up saving me over $5000 dollars when he told me another dentist wanted to do unnecessary work in which there wasn't even an actual problem! Not to mention he didn't even charge me for his time though he spent an hour

I would like to speak a little about Dr. Cater. I came to Dr. Cater from a dental office in Broadview. From the inception of my call up to today... ths office has been nothing but professional. They treat me like roalty. I went in to see Dr. Cater and I had some serious dental concerns. When I say serious I mean they were serious. At present, I am about 4 months out from our initial meeting and I am looking great. I am so impressed with his level of expertise in getting my smile back. Just this past Saturday he performed a filling on a tooth that was one of the worst I believed I had, and

Great Dentist, Dr. Cater is exceptionally helpful in answering questions. He has a great bedside manner and is very gentle. I highly recommend Dr. Cater for anyone looking for a Dentist who is going to treat you as a person and not just as a patient.
