Dr. James Fondriest, DDS

As a child and teen I had extensive dental work and prosthetics; I was born without some key permanent teeth. Upon moving to Lake Forest I had an acute issue which Dr. Fondriest repaired, pointing out some deficiencies in my cleaning regimen and care. His communications are as thorough and accurate as the dental care I’ve received and the replacement prosthetics he has designed and installed over the past 35 plus years. His work is impeccable.

Awesome work! Awesome Staff! I highly recommend Dr Fondriest's practice.

Dr. Fondriest and his team are amazing! The dental care I have received over the years has been fantastic. I appreciate Dr. Fondriest’s conservative approach and not feeling that I’m being “sold” dentistry. The office has a warm and friendly atmosphere.

He finally fixed something that 3 other docs couldn’t do. I think he rocks!k

Jim epitomizes the word "professionalism" and he exudes excellence in everything he does. I highly recommend his services. You won't be disappointed. Defintely "walks the talk".

Dr Jim Fondriest is a long time colleague. I am an Accredited cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles and have learned so much from him and tremendously admire his cases. He is a very talented individual and he is only one of a handful number of dentists that I would allow touch my front teeth. If you are considering having a full mouth or smile makeover, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Fondriest. He understands what is required to design and deliver a natural but stunning smile!

Amazing dentist!!! My dentist was out of town for an extended period, so I went to see Dr. Fondriest when I had filling fall out. He patiently explained what I needed and even noticed that my previous dentist had NOT completely removed the decay in that tooth when it was last filled. The tooth required a new filling and a crown and I am very pleased with the results. The process was comfortable and low stress.The tooth feels great (no more sensitivity) and looks great. Dr. Fondriest is my new de

I travel from North Carolina to see Dr. Fondriest. He is one of the BEST dentists in the USA! I've heard he is the "dentist's dentist" and that is why I visit him! He, and his staff will not disappoint if you are truly serious about achieving a healthy and attractive smile........let's face it, life is way better with GREAT teeth!

I have been going to Dr. Fondriest for several years now, and his work is consistently excellent. He and his staff are patient, thorough, and always recommend the safest, most appropriate solution for every situation. In addition to his medical knowledge and expertise, his artistry and craftsmanship also are second to none and every procedure looks completely beautiful and natural, reflecting great attention to all the details of each patient's specific needs. Thank you for such great work!

I was referred to Dr. Fondriest by my periodontist. I was told that he is the most talented dentist in the Chicago area for both prosthodontics (makeovers) and for cosmetic things. I was scared when I arrived but felt at ease as soon as I met this kind man. He was able to fix problems that two other highly recommended dentist could not.
