I never thought a smile could be so important. But after meeting the woman of my dreams, I have more confidence in myself than ever before. Thanks for everything! Ken S., Lombard, IL
At 72 years old I didn’t think I would need my smile “fixed” until my grand-daughter looked up and asked why my teeth were so yellow. Oh, do children ever speak the truth! I had everything done and I now feel and look 15 year younger. I can’t tell you how many of my friends were envious! Florence H. Oak Brook, IL
Cosmetic Dentistry
Back to topFor years I walked around with my hand over my mouth and smiling with pursed lips. Now that I have my front teeth lightened and the old filling and crowns replaced I can smile with confidence. The staff and Dr. Gibbs explained everything so well and NOTHING HURT! Thank You many times over. Jane P. Glen Ellyn IL
My co-workers were amazed at how quickly I went from having a hideous mouth to the perfect smile almost instantly! It seemed like magic and it didn’t hurt a bit Edward W. Lombard IL
I always felt everyone noticed my teeth, as I was always noticing everyone’s smile. I felt odd and like I was from the bad side of town! Since the work I had done I feel good about myself. I now smile without worry thank you for the “Million Dollar Smile Makeover” you gave me. My life is now much better and I am so much more confident! Robert B. Wheaton IL
Implants & Dentures
Back to topI couldn’t smile without my teeth falling out and was embarrassed with the way they looked. I was terrified of the surgery as well. Fortunately, Dr. Gibbs’ sedation techniques got me through everything with ease. Now with my implants and cosmetic teeth I’m smiling and getting my social confidence back. My dating life has improved too! Linda L. Chicago IL
I had worn my dentures for many years and the teeth had worn off from chewing. They had become loose and would fall down when I tried to eat and speak due to age of the dentures and recent weight loss. Everyone at the office was very nice. At my first visit with Dr. Gibbs he asked me about what I wanted to be changed about the fit and looks for the new dentures, (I did not want the gaps). We were able to get started with the first step toward my new dentures that very same appointment!
After a few visits I got my new teeth! I wore them for a few days and got some sore areas that needed some attention. The dentures now fit great and look good too! I recommend anyone who needs some teeth Go see Dr. Gibbs! John P. Lombard
Imagine chewing with your gums for 19 years. I tried a denture for my bottoms and food would always get caught beneath them. Dr. Gibbs placed 6 implants and a few months later “bolted new teeth” down there. I was able to chew steak again for the 1st time in 19 years! Mary T. Lombard
It was devastating to think that I would have plastic and goo all over my mouth for the rest of my life. I felt so old and embarrassed. It was like the door to the nursing home was opening and I was going for a “short visit!” Dr. Gibbs first put in a couple of implants so my denture would stop flying out. Six months later I opted to have “the works” and more implants placed so I could have teeth that stayed in for good. It is so wonderful to be able to talk without worrying about losing my teeth. Mostly—I’m able to taste food and smile wide again! Thank you many times over. Angie S. Naperville IL
My first thought—no way am I going to have someone place a screw into my jawbone! Dr. Gibbs placed 3 implants in and there was almost no discomfort. Just a couple of Advil was all that was needed that day. It’s nice not getting all that food caught under more old bridge. Julie N. Hinsdale
My mother was 92 when she had her mouth restored with dental implants by Dr. Gibbs. I had been a patient of Dr. Gibbs for years when I asked him about my mother. She had complained for years about not being able to eat the foods she once loved to eat, about the sores in her gums, and mostly about the embarrassment of having her teeth fall out almost at will.
She lived to be just shy of 96. I remember her saying many times what a wonderful decision she made having those implants placed! Imagine being able to chew, talk without fear, and smile as big as you can! It was truly a “quality of life” versus “mere money” decision. So many times she said how much she wished she could have the implants placed much earlier. (She was happy that in the end she could take them with her!!) Thank you Dr. Gibbs for my Mother’s peace of mind in her last years of life! Karen F. Winfield IL
Comfort, Embarrassment, and Dental Fear
Back to topMany thanks for changing my life! Never again will I have to agonize for weeks over an impending dental appointment. L Glazer, Oak Park, IL
You have lived up to your ad and changed my attitude about caring for the teeth I have left…For the first time in life I have enjoyed a trip to the dentist and will never again have the agony and apprehension that have kept my nerves ragged for weeks.
We would all like to make the world a better place. I am going to change the lives of as many people I can by simply telling those I know and meet that if they fit the profile of the Dr. Gibbs’ solution, here is his phone number. [Feedback continues for four pages!] Bill Bell, Elmhurst IL
I thought I would take this opportunity to thank you for all the care, patience, and time taken with my dental care. As you know I was a white-knuckle apprehensive patient! Now I wish I had proceeded earlier. At last I can smile again!!! Thanks you again. Angela V. Tinley Park IL
Why would I travel almost 2 hours to see Dr. Gibbs? I had a lifetime of horrible dental experiences! The staff was also so good at explaining treatment and helping me with the cost. Dr. Gibbs prescribed some medication before my appointment, and used an IV medication to completely put me to sleep. I hardly remember anything and now I have wonderful teeth that don’t hurt! Mark P. Lake Bluff IL
I was at ease the entire time. It is so reassuring having a dentist take the time to treat you like a person and really care! - Sylvia Barnes
I thought my teeth would be the worst you have ever seen. Thank you for making me feel so at ease. With my busy travel schedule at work Dr. Gibbs was able to fix all my teeth in just a few visits. My last dentist gave me plan 3 pages long! I was terrified of the idea of countless visits and pain. Having it all done in long visits with sedation saved my schedule, my smile, and changed my concept of what a dentist could do. Little pain—lost of gain. Thanks so much!! Marla A. Schaumburg IL
Thank you for making my dental visit such a positive experience. It was a difficult decision switching dentists, but your staff definitely went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. It must be very rewarding to work with such caring and compassionate staff on a daily basis. Ann B. Geneva IL
Again thank you for ALL you do for each and every one of your patients! I have a dental office that feels like “home.” Lisa Sandler, Glen Ellyn IL
Finding a doctor who genuinely cares for his patient’s comfort and concerns is quite rare. For patients like me, who agonize over a dental visit weeks prior to their visit, I feel your approach is brilliant. You gave all my options—both in terms of treatment and what could be done for my comfort. Your office hours and finance options are very accommodating and appreciated. John T. Burr Ridge IL
I’m very happy I came and visited Dr. Gibbs. I don’t really enjoy going to the dentist and I needed lots of work done. He made me very comfortable and happy to be there. [The staff] was great too because they helped me make sense of what I needed and worked out a plan to get it all finished. The best part is that now I can smile again and not be shy about it! Jason Cox, Glen Ellyn IL
Technology
Back to topThe Schick digital x-ray was amazing. Ultra-low radiation and I could see everything myself! Larry Bodine Glen Ellyn IL
I didn’t feel clean or safe in my last dental office. Dr. Gibbs made me very aware and good about dental care! Not only did he have things like lasers and a computerized numbing machine—but more important they took time for me as a person! Jeanie T Wheaton IL
Thanks so much for having the laser to do my fillings. The thought of getting a shot in my mouth is awful! Best of all, it was so quick and easy. I love not having to leave with that “fat face numb” feeling. Boy, do I wish this was around when I was a kid. Thank you. Margie S. Warrenville
