In practice for over 30 years and armed with training from the prestigious Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, Dr. Telthorst strongly believes in taking the time to understand his patients desires and individual situations. “A dental exam starts with a conversation, not with teeth,” he says. “It’s important that I have some understanding of the person that is before me. Only then can I recommend practical and appropriate dental treatment.” Dr. Telthorst is meticulous and thorough in his work, which includes porcelain crowns, veneers, bonded white fillings, oral surgery, and the treatment of periodontal disease. “Patients hear these dental terms,” he observes, “but frequently don’t understand what it means for them today and the implications for their future.” Dr. Telthorst believes that part of his job is to educate patients about their dental treatment so they can make informed choices.

CROWN ME :-)

I have been dealing with a toothache for about 2 years. I contacted Lake Forest Dental and was given an immediate appointment. The staff was super friendly and made me feel comfortable and eased my nervousness. Dr. Telhorst and his staff have a great way of making you feel important and getting to the root of the problem. A simple root canal procedure has me coming back to satisfy all my dental needs. Thank you all for everything and keep up the amazing work!

Outstanding Experience!!

I always have a positive experience when visiting Lake Forest Dental! In addition to having had routine cleanings and x-rays, I have had a root canal as well as replacement crowns done by Dr. Telhorst and the staff. Each procedure went smoothly! With each visit, the doctor and attending staff explained each step of the process so that I knew what to expect.

This is definitely the best dental office that I have ever visited. The entire staff is welcoming and definitely attentive to patient needs and comfort.
