West Loop Dental Associates

All dental work is now complete. I am still blown away by Dr. Cooper and his team. They are all so patient and caring. Best dental experience ever!

I will never go anywhere else, even if we move out of Chicago. I rave about this place and the service to everyone I know. I’m happy. My husband is happy. The entire staff is great as well as the teeth cleaning, etc. Thank you!

I just got back from a check up with Dr. Cooper, who I’ve been seeing for quite a few years now. I don’t usually write Unilocal reviews but the two negative reviews below prompted me to write this — i’m not sure where they came from as he is the best dentist i’ve ever seen. I have a complex dental history and Dr. Cooper has been great when an issue comes up with a past cavity or root canal. He always talks through options with you and never suggests anything unnecessary. Even though he offers whitening, invisaline, ect — he never pushes cosmetic solutions on you like some dentists. Also, his hygienist is amazing — she is a perfectionist and makes sure you leave with your teeth as clean as possible, but does the cleaning in the quickest and gentlest way possible. Dr. Cooper also has all of the latest technology which helps him identify issues earlier than other doctors and also helps you understand what he is talking about. In addition to all of the comments above, I’m pretty sure this is one of the cleanest medical offices I have ever been to. Admittedly, I absolutely hate going to the dentist — but if I have to go, I’m going to Dr. Cooper every time.

HORRIBLE!!!
I am not really one to leave negative reviews.
However, I just walked in the door only to be told that they cancelled my appointment without my authorization or even telling me! Wasted my PTO and paid for cab fare to the appointment that was made 2 weeks before! I even called and confirmed it 2 days before the appointment! Was pretty much told tough **** when the next appointment was a month later! Completely unprofessional and inconsiderate of others time! Will NEVER be back!

When I first went to see Dr. Cooper’s office it was just for a cleaning and that went fine– not the best cleaning of my life but Dr. Cooper came by after and kindly gifted me a teeth whitening set because I was getting married. I thought that was fantastic! After the cleaning, and after X-​Rays, I scheduled an appointment to have my cavity filled. That’s where things went south.
Dr. Cooper was not gentle at all and the experience was extremely uncomfortable. I decided that maybe I was being a baby, although my instinct told me that he hadn’t done a good job. After getting the filling, however, flossing was very painful in that area and for several months later I would get things stuck there and started to develop a sensitivity in that tooth.
Today I went to my new dentist for a checkup and she told me that the filling in that tooth was damaged and needed to be replaced. When she replaced it, the procedure was 100% less painful and she did a fantastic job. Flossing is a breeze.
To boot, I told my husband about the experience and he told me that the filling he had with Dr. Cooper recently also fell out and he had to get it replaced as well! So I guess my experience was not an isolated incident. That’s when I decided to write this review.
Verdict: don’t come here if you expect quality dental work and a gentle procedure. I go to Northwestern Dental Center now and couldn’t be happier, even if it means I have to leave the West Loop.

Absolutely the best dentist ever. Filling replaced and feeling fine. The staff is awesome!!!

If you want your fillings to fall out with two years of getting them put in you should most def visit this place…
if you want the crown that you had them put in (BTW something like that cost several thousand dollars…) fail and need to be replaced within less then two years you should most def have your dental work done there!
in other words… if you want to get ripped off… get your dental work done here:)

I’ve been going here since I moved to the West Loop — about 6 years now. This is hands down the best dentist in the West Loop and possibly even Chicago! Mara, one of the dental hygenists, is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. I really like Dr. Cooper but Mara is my absolute faaaaave. She’s sooo incredibly nice and gentle. She makes you feel like your comfort and well being are her number one priority.

Welllll It’s STRIKE TWO So they are out.
I first, about a month ago completed their online appointment request form. NO RESPONSE
I called today. I told the young woman that answered the phone that I needed an appointment. I believe I am developing a toothache. She asked if I needed an examination and oral cleaning I said yes I guess that too. I said I had dental insurance but I wasn’t sure who it was with. I forgot to look it up. Then I remembered who it was and told her. She put me on hold for 10 minutes and then came back to the phone and just kept saying, hello, hello, I was practically screaming into the phone. I do NOT believe she didn’t hear me. I believe because I was uncertain of my dental insurance she chose not to want to deal with me.
I think all in all the reviews of Dr. Cooper himself may be good, but his office staff is unresponsive and is a detriment to his practice. So I have to continue to look for another dentist and this with a developing tooth ache. SMH

Dr. Cooper is amazing and so is the staff. I haven’t been able to afford a dentist in 4 years and one of my wisdom teeth grew in crooked and was causing a significant amount of pain, so much so that the right side of my face swelled up and I couldn’t move jaw. I went into west loop dental on the recommendation of a friend and was so happy I did. Dr. Cooper extracted my tooth that day and it was actually painless. With a prescription for antibiotics and Vicodin I healed quickly and didn’t even use the Vicodin. This could be luck (as I know many wisdom teeth nightmare stories) but I’m choosing to attribute it to the skill of Dr. Cooper. I was given an amazing discount because I was a first time patient without insurance and treated with much care and respect (NO FLOSS SHAMING!!). Even though it is a 35 minute commute, in good traffic, I will continue going to West Loop Dental.

Dr. Cooper and his staff are amazing! I came in to get a cavity filled and I was expecting the worst! I hadn’t been to the dentist as an adult for anything other than a cleaning because my childhood dentist basically traumatized me.
When Dr. Cooper talked to me I was relaxed & comfortable he made sure the numbing agents worked. I didn’t feel ANY pain. I honestly still can’t believe how fast and painless everything was. I’m going in for bonding soon since the work I’ve seen is incredible & affordable. We also did a mock version of my future smile & it looked great. I received my before & after pictures early that next day.
I’m also so appreciative that I can schedule appointments right after work & I don’t have to wait long to be seen. I got great advice from Maria regarding my tooth sensitivity & its helped a lot. I’m so incredibly happy that I’ve found West Loop Dental & my fear of going to the dentist is completely gone thanks to Dr. Cooper & his team!!!

The dentist removed 27 year old bonding (do not wait that long!) a year ago and replaced it with new bonding. He was so affordable and I had a great experience throughout. So that was a year ago and I’ve gone on with my life, not thinking about my teeth at all. Then today, I had a photo session and saw my teeth in the picture. Then I remembered how bad they looked a year ago and I was again so grateful that I was able to get them redone and that West Loop did such a great job.
I can’t stop staring at them in the pictures. What a tremendous difference! Not a closed mouth picture in the bunch. Anyway, I thought I’d write this today.

Best dentist ever! Went if for my 1^st time based on other reviews and have to agree! Everyone there was extremely nice and knowledgeable. The technology was very impressive for even just the x-​rays. I have never received such a detailed and thorough cleaning and Dr Cooper made sure to spend enough time with me to get comfortable with everything including anything I should look out for in the future. Highly recommend!

Very professional, nice and knowledgable staff. Plus, they are fair and give you all of your options. I asked about replacing my bonding and Dr. Cooper gave me ALL of my options. At the last place I asked, they only gave me the most expensive option. I have been there three times so far and all have been very good experiences.

Maria is awesome. We’ve worked through a lot of my dental issues together. Such as but not limited to:
— avoiding cookies and milk before bed
— brushing behind my teeth like a big boy!
— not brushing so abrasively (gum recession sucks)
— using mouthwash to help keep those «watcher» cavities in check
— and many more…
I came here expecting to see a few four star reviews, but I’m not at all surprised by all the positive praise. Oh, Dr. Cooper is awesome too!

I have been coming to West Loop Dental for several years now and absolutely love it. Dr Cooper is not one of those dentists that constantly keep pressuring you to get every little thing fixed, and is very nice and pro. My hygienist Maricela is the bomb! Nice, quick, and really conscientious about not causing pain. I almost look forward to my bi-​annual appointments!

I hadn’t been to a dentist in YEARS. That being said, I was very nervous about seeing one now, knowing I needed a lot of work. After reading a few reviews, I settled on West Loop Dental, since it is close to both my work and school. I could not be happier with my choice.
From making the appointment, to signing in and getting in the office, everything went so smoothly. The receptionist was incredibly patient and nice. I still was nervous after filling out the paperwork, then saw Teresa, a hygienist, who was to take me to do my x-​rays and cleaning. I must say, Teresa is great! She did such an amazing job and helped me to feel relaxed. She showed me my x-​rays to show what years of no dentist had done to my teeth, but remained positive that it would be fixed. Never once did I feel shamed by my bad teeth! As for the cleaning, she was extremely thorough and it didn’t hurt at all!
After that, I met Dr. Cooper, who I must say is probably the nicest dentist I’ve ever met. He took a look at my teeth and told me the plan to fix all of the issues. He minimized the severity of it all and kept me relaxed during the entire time. I have another appointment in a few weeks, and I’m actually excited to be going!

Dr. Cooper and his entire team are FANTASTIC! Every person from the front desk, office manager, hygienists and Dr. Cooper himself go above and beyond to make the experience stress-​free.
I made the mistake of going to another dental group in Chicago when I first moved here three years ago that told me I had five cavities (when I hadn’t had a single one before) and then botched every single filling causing months of pain. They were a massive dental practice with several doctors, so the positive reviews on Unilocal!based on one doctor were very misleading when another doctor was the one actually doing the fillings.
After a lot of research and personal recommendations I ended up at Dr. Coopers office and couldn’t be happier with the decision. He ended up replacing a few of the previous fillings and a new one, and three hours later I am good as new! Who knew that getting a filling could be this painless!
I had a few insurance questions and Dr. Cooper’s team went above and beyond to make sure I understood the cost of everything, and even called my insurance for me when I had a specific question. They are the opposite of many other dental groups in Chicago that try and squeeze every dollar from you and rush through things — they are extremely forthcoming, reasonable and do incredible work.
Look no further for a dentist in Chicago — go see Dr. Cooper!

Dr. Cooper is the best dentist around. I actually enjoy going to the dentist if you can believe it.
The hygentists are all top notch as well — Maricel always does a great job.
All of the rest of the staff are very helpful and friendly.

After a traumatic experience with a dentist several years ago, I had avoided all dentists for a very long time. Long enough for cavities to form in several of my teeth, requiring me to book two appointments (in addition to my cleaning) with Dr. Cooper.
The cleaning and checkup went really well. They have a really nice, nonscary x-​ray machine, and top notch technology all around. They even had a little camera to take pictures of the inside of my mouth so I could see the results of my neglect. The hygienist was very professional and my teeth felt squeaky clean when she was done.
And the cavity fillings were SO easy. My old dentist took forever to do those, but Dr. Cooper finished several fillings in under an hour while inflicting no pain or discomfort. He was very nice and not creepy at all.
Getting an appointment was easy and quick… they even offer 7:30 a.m. time slots so you can stop by before work. The only drawback is that I’m now officially out of excuses to avoid the dentist.
