Dr. Thind is amazing! I had to get my front tooth replaced (my son broke my real tooth) and they did an amazing job..I cannot tell the difference between my fake and my real!! I love the clean office, Diana at the front desk is so kind, they really take the time to get to know their patients. Could not recommend this place more!!

Just recently joined Definite Dental Solutions after moving to the area and have been very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the staff. Dr Thind explains everything to me in a way i understand and helps answer all questions very thoroughly. Adam has helped during my past 2 appointments and he has also been extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I always go in super nervous as I’m horrible with needles but they put me at ease and I always walk out with a brighter/whiter smile after each visit! Appointments also are very prompt and I never find myself waiting beyond my appointment start time which is a great bonus!

EVERYONE at this office is great. Dr. Thind, Cindy, Adam, Emma, and Diana are the dream team. This is a very warm, friendly, and caring environment. They genuinely want you to understand and be comfortable with everything from billing, to information regarding your dental health, to potential treatment options. This dentist office is by far the most trustworthy one I’ve been to and I’m very grateful to have been referred here.

FAQs

Quick Emergency FAQs

What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?

Keep it moist and call immediately — the sooner you're seen, the better the chance of saving it. Hold it by the crown, not the root, and place it in milk if possible.

Is severe tooth pain an emergency?

Yes — pain plus swelling, fever, or trouble eating/swallowing requires prompt care. Don't try to tough it out.

Do you offer same‑day emergency visits?

Yes — we do everything we can to see you today. Call us at (847) 398‑0878, and we'll prioritize your case.
