"Took my 4 week old son to get looked at for lip and tongue ties, and the dentist was so knowledgeable about the problems she was seeing in him. All of the staff was so accommodating to us and our needs. They had a separate room to have him in that was perfect for feeding him afterwards. Very clean and nice place. Highly recommend for any tongue or lip releases."

Absolutely amazing! From the moment you walk through their door you are greeted by the fantastic ladies at the front desk. So warm and welcoming! I have anxiety about going to the dentist and Dr. Alexia makes me feel so comfortable with her kind and caring personality. Along with Amy who assisted this week with Dr. Alexia is awesome! They go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and you can tell they truly care about you!
If I could choose less than one star I would. Scheduled new patient appointment for myself as I just moved to the area. I made it very clear verbally as well as on the online forms which asked the reason for my visit that I was coming in for a small chipped tooth repair. The dental assistant was rude and not listening to me and indicating I would need to come back at a separate time for the tooth repair that today was for cleaning and x-rays. I explained that I had scheduled for something else today. Not what I signed up for. Not what I said over the phone and also in the online form. Again, I was there for a tooth repair nothing else as that is all the time I have today per my schedule. I understand if x-rays would need to be taken and that's fine however I was not told I would have to come back separately to have my tooth fixed prior to driving 30 minutes one way to give them a shot. It's like nobody over there was listening to me. My initial appointment was scheduled in December and I had to cancel it due to a family death as well as the flu. The dental assistant snidely mentioned that I "failed my appointment in December". What are rude and unprofessional thing to say to a brand new patient. I'm used to going to an excellent dentist in the Naperville area who never treated me that way over the course of 15 years. Unless you want to be treated like crap, stay very far away. I got up and just walked out... You guys need to learn how to treat people. If you'd like to take a lesson or two from my Naperville dentist please ask me. I would be happy to provide you his information. Lame!! SMH
My two and a half week old daughter had a lip tie and posterior tongue tie released by Dr. Berning. She was amazing and so thorough with explanation on everything and instructions for us at home. Very happy with the results and care from her and her team. Definitely recommend. 😊
The staff are friendly and insightful! The dentist I see is pleasant and honest! I would recommend Exceptional Dentistry to anyone seeking cosmetic dentistry! I recently switched my son's dentist as he was not receiving the care that he needed. Switching to "Exceptional Dentistry" has proven to be the best choice for his smile!
Excellent dental care with a positive and professional team!
Excellent staff and service. Would highly recommend for any of your dental needs
Omg Exceptional Dentistry is just that “EXCEPTIONAL “.The entire appointment was professional and caring… I went to their bathroom and it smelled inviting. The fragrance was calming and home-like. Not a $250,000 town home type smell! This smell was definitely upper echelon like a $750,000 gated community smell! The hygienist was professional and communicated each procedure that was done. My dentist entered the room and from the beginning she was engaging, patient, smart and honest. My teeth was prepped by another dentist several months ago. This dentist removed my from tooth and shave down a tooth to left and right of the missing toothe for a bridge. My insurance paid the entire procedure except for $500. Her receptionist told me my bridge had arrived and to come right away. Well at that time I did not have the $500 but I was certain she would set up a payment plan or just took me at my word that I was going to pay the balance next payday. Well to make long story short she refused to put the bridge in. And told me to my face that the bridge did not come in! She held my bridge for ransom and said when I get the $500 I can have the bridge. At that point, I told her to return all the money Delta Dental gave her for my procedure because I will never do business with her again nor will my sister who referred me. Also, word of mouth goes a long way. My appearance means everything to me so I was devastated to have to look into my wife’s eyes each time she had to look at me with no tooth in the front and two shaved teeth! Well that negative turned into a positive yesterday because Exceptional Dentistry is now my new dental home…
We had an amazing experience with Dr. Kristen Berning!! Our 2 month old daughter had a lip tie, tongue tie and cheek (buccal) tie. She was struggling with nursing and eating from a bottle too. She was not gaining weight like she should have been. Our baby girl was gone from us for the laser procedure for less than 5 minutes! She wasn’t even really fussy afterwards! We HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kristen for correcting oral ties!!

Not a concern, but a Kudos. Talia is AMAZING! I typically dread getting my teeth cleaned. She is a constant professional while making the experience light-hearted and fun. Even thought I only see her twice a year, she remembers me a person not just a patient. I can’t say enough good things about Talia.
Melissa always does a great job. Very professional and personable.
Dear Dr Murray, Thank you for the wonderful care and services yesterday. You always make me feel so comfortable. Your assistant, Amy, is so great. She always tells me the next step of the proceduere. After 50 plus years, I am no longer apprehensive about going to the dentist. That’s an accomplishment. Thank You.
I am so happy with my first experience at Exceptional Dentistry. The office was beautiful and the team you have there was VERY nice and extremely professional, they treated everything like it mattered. I was impressed with the technology used in your office. I appreciated how most aspects of my consultation were explained to me. The little details mean a lot to me (water offered upon my arrival, a follow-up (hand written) card, etc…). SO happy with everything!!!
It goes without saying that many people, including myself do not really enjoy going to the dentist. I have not been very responsible with the health of my teeth over the last ten years but your team did not make me feel ashamed of that inaction but instead focused on going forward and my health now.
Charity gave me the most painless injection that I have ever received.
Keep up the great work. LOVE the staff & services. So personable, efficient, & high-quality. I recommend your office VERY often.
Dear Dr. Ted Murray,
I want to thank you for my recent experiences at your truly "state of the art"office.
I have had dental work done in several cities (Dallas/Fort Worth, Atlanta, Tampa, Denver, Houston…) over the years and have never experienced the caring, gentleness, quality, diligence and professionalism as I have with you, Dr. Berning and your staff. I feel very fortunate to have found you and the services you offer.
Warmest Regards,
Dr. Ted Murray,
Thank you so much for the excellent care you and your staff have given me. The Sedation Dentistry is the perfect option for me and I am so happy you offer it. Thank you for a pain free root canal!
Doc,
Thanks for all your help, especially in understanding me. You and your staff are excellent in all that you do. Other people could learn a lot about life from you and your staff.
