PATIENT REVIEWS

Check out what some of our happy patients are saying about us:

★★★★★

Dr. P. is a WONDERFUL dentist!!!! Please believe all the 5 star reviews, because I learned firsthand how he earns them. I have extensive work that needs done because of my fear of dentists for years due to past horrible bedside manner and lack of proper insurance, which resulted in painful, scarring experiences. For the first time in my life I am now excited to go to the dentist, and to improve my overall dental health. I phoned after 9pm with excruciating pain, and received a call back within an hour to confirm my AM appointment for the next day. I did still have the painful experience of having 2 teeth removed, but Dr. P did all he could to ensure I was properly numbed before he began, so the shots themselves were probably the worst of it. He was kind even when I was visibly upset and did what he could to make me feel less afraid. His assistant was just as kind and wonderful. (Thank you so much ) I was also embarrassed to have so many dental issues being a young person, but for once I did not feel at all judged. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m excited to have you as my new dentist. I should add that my medicaid was not accepted, and I did pay out of pocket, but it is still on the lower end of costs, and it just encouraged me to purchase eligible dental insurance today. I only wish I’d found him sooner. See you soon, doc!

★★★★★

I’ve had a LOT of dental work done. Needed an emergency root canal and I called every emergency place in the area and they were the only ones who answered in the middle of the night on a Saturday. Dr. Pressling texted me himself and got me in on a Sunday morning, in and out in 30 mins, which was almost concerning how fast he got it done but lo and behold my tooth is in healthy condition and he managed to salvage the existing crown! Did a better job in a fraction of the time than any dentist I’ve been to before. He’s a SAINT! AND l didn’t have any insurance but somehow the cost ended up being less than what I’ve previously paid out of pocket when I did have insurance. Highly HIGHLY recommend. The rest of his staff is very nice as well.

★★★★★

Had dental work done in Texas a few days prior to moving to Chicago and began experiencing tooth pain after moving. By Saturday I couldn’t stand the pain and began calling around. Augusta dental was the only office to answer and had me in a dentist chair within the hour. Dr. P was honest and chose the least invasive procedure that had me feeling better within hours. Best place in Chicago! He’s honest and really wants what is best for his patients.

★★★★★

I don’t know what happened for people to have felt they needed to leave a 1-star rating. What I do know is that there are a handful of them and an overwhelming amount of 5 stars…virtually no ratings in between. PLEASE trust the positive reviews, for both emergency and regular dental work. I had not been to the dentist in ELEVEN years, that’s how awful most of my dental and orthodontic experiences have been. Going to the dentist and worrying about my teeth has been my biggest fear and worry for the past 5 or so years. I’m saying this because I am eternally grateful to have found Dr. Pressling and cannot believe he is as good as he is. I don’t even worry about any upcoming appointments any more. Never did I think that would happen. I have had to call his emergency line TWICE, that’s how bad my teeth were. Both times the people answering the phone were incredibly kind and compassionate, and both times I was able to get seen the same/following morning (called at 1 AM, seen at 8:30 AM). First time a root canal and there was NO PAIN AT ALL. Second time was for a terrible infection, so bad the novacane would barely stay effective for more than a minute at a time. This man was patient as all get out, kept giving novacane shot after novacane shot, explained bluntly and kindly that it’s not going to stick that well and he will go fast. 10 seconds…10 seconds and that tooth was out. I was overwhelmed with emotion because I have never been in so much pain before in my life, and I’ve had kidney stones. Not only was I happy, HE was happy, he is incredibly genuine. The staff is great too, everyone has a great sense of humor, very old-school setting. He doesn’t get annoyed with you asking questions or helping to talk you through things to calm you down. And the service is fast and painless. You have to trust him, because he knows what he’s doing, he cares, and he’s not going to waste your time (or his). I don’t know how he does it to be honest, he goes from patient to patient to patient. Always in a great mood, always talking to you about how you’re doing, funny memories he has. Incredible bedside manner, painless, and fearless, PLEASE go to him and see for yourself. I will never go anywhere else, and he does it all so I don’t need to find a specialist or anything. Thank you, Dr. P!!!!

★★★★★

Dr. Pressling is the BEST!! I’ve went to Augusta Dental for an emergency wisdom tooth extraction which he did with the roots and tooth still intact!! I recently returned for a partial root Canal and my second visit was equally great. Dr. Pressling is the best combination of an Artist/Surgeon. He is very outgoing and fun to talk to which is what I enjoyed the most! He’s extremely skilled and knowledgeable and I plan to return to him for all of my Dental Needs!

★★★★★

I’ve read these reviews and can honestly say first hand several are not true! Let me give a little truthful light to a true statement! My daughter had a dental emergency, and needed medical attention right away. We are from southern illinois, 6.5 hours away from Dr. P! Within 30 minutes of contacting their office on Sunday, he called me back! Told me he would meet us and get her fixed right up! He checked up on us during our trip, and was there waiting on us when we got there! He was absolutely wonderful with my daughter! She was so nervous, in excruciating pain, and scared to death! This man – Dr P deserves 10 stars!!! He went above and beyond! We were in and out within 45 min. And her pain went from being off the charts crying for 6 hrs to zero pain! My absolute appreciation goes right to him! Thank you so much Dr P!! It’s people like you who make the world’s difference! You most certainly stand out in your line of work! With the most sincerest thanks, BB and KM All the way from southern illinois Hands down ~ Dr.P is the best!

★★★★★

If I could rate Augusta Dental 100 stars I would! I saw Dr. Pressling on an emergency basis about 1+ year ago and I have been a patient of his since then. He is an excellent dentist. He has completely transformed my smile. The permanent restoration pieces (like crowns and bridge) that he builds are works of art – color and size and how they blend with the rest of the teeth – it’s unbelievable. The staff is great too. I will be a patient for life, no doubt about it!

★★★★★

Dr. Pressling and his team are amazing!! Since moving to Chicago a few years ago, I’ve tried several dentists in the area from here to downtown, and Dr P. is an awesome dentist, very thorough, and did not try upselling me to redo every filling like other dentists have tried, but he has completed needed and obvious dental work. I only needed a cleaning this time, and my teeth feel so clean. I highly recommend!

★★★★★

I was in a LOT of pain, needed a tooth pulled, called at like 8pm on a Friday and the dentist called me back right away. Let me come in on a Sunday morning PLUS I didn’t have the entire amount needed to pull the tooth so this wonderful man let me pay what I could afford. I am SO grateful. Tooth pulling took less than 20 mins! I will continue going here for all my dentist needs!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

★★★★★

Dr. Pressling is an amazingly caring and patient dentist.  I have been to so many dentists and while I admit that I revert back to scared little girl in the chair, Dr. Pressling finds a way to make me feel comfortable.  He is a consummate professional and I wouldn’t have any other dentist work on my teeth!  It has taken me years to get “relaxed” with this dentist.  I live in Turkey and I’ll fly back to Chicago and have my check ups and work done by Dr. Pressling!  Thank you!

★★★★★

If I could give Augusta Dental and Dr P 10 stars, I would! I first went in for an emergency extraction and then proceeded to have bridges and crowns put in over the next 18 months. Dr P rebuilt my whole mouth and I can once again smile from ear to ear! Making appointments with Penny and Irma is easy peasy! Everyone in the office is very friendly and professional at the same time. During the procedures by Dr P, he always made sure I was completely numb and did not feel any pain. He is like a sculptor in the way he can use bonds also! I would recommend Dr P and Augusta Dental to all my family and friends!

★★★★★

I called at 1pm to see if i can be seen and they told me i can if i get there before 3pm i got there 30 min later and received some of the best customer service i ever experienced im not too familiar with “normal” dental costs because it was my first time paying out of pocket but it was worth every dime! I encourage everyone to come here for whatever you need. I will be making another appointment very soon!!!!

★★★★★

I was having a lot of tooth pain and some swelling on New Year’s Day and needed to have an emergency root canal.  Dr. Pressling was wonderful!  He worked quickly to perform the root canal with minimum discomfort.  I have a small mouth and he was able to maneuver just fine and keep me comfortable during the short procedure.  I was feeling better that night and back to myself in a few days.

★★★★★

CHRISSY STRAHAN-ONEAL Dr. Pressling is an amazing dentist. Let me tell you my story. I was in a very important meeting at work around 4:00 pm when out of nowhere came this pain on the lower right side of my jaw and exploded all the way up my face. It was my wisdom tooth and the pain was unbearable. After calling around to see if I could get emergency treatment, I found Augusta Dental, Dr. Pressling. He actually called me back and told me he was out of town but to come into his office the next morning and he would take care of me. Upon arrival to his office the next morning, I found the entire staff to be friendly, courteous, and professional. He and his assistant made sure I was comfortable and then prepared me for the extraction. It was over so fast that I didn’t believe him until he showed me the tooth. He was absolutely amazing. I left with a smile on my face not a frown! If you are looking for a great dentist, please, try Dr. Pressling, you will not be disappointed.

★★★★★

Absolutely love Dr. Pressling and the entire staff at, Augusta Dental. They don’t take the insurance I have, but the past three dental emergencies I’ve had, Augusta Dental took me in right away and took the pain away.  I’m extremely sensitive to dental pain, but Dr.  Presling is so good and gentle that it’s practically painless. He is also very fast, efficient, and trustworthy. I’ve been searching for a dentist that takes my insurance and they were all awful. I’ve been so impressed with Dr. Pessling that I’m switching my insurance, so I can make him my regular dentist. This place is amazing!

★★★★★

After calling 3 other dentists in my neighborhood & got no help, I called Dr.Pressling’s office Saturday morning in alot of pain. They told me to come right away, which I did. He diagnosed the problem & went to work right away to stop the pain. It was a huge relief. Thank you so much. There is nothing worse than tooth pain, so I appreciate how fast he & his staff worked to get it resolved. Did I say the SAME DAY?!? He & his staff are very easy going, welcoming & accommodating. Thanks doc & staff, I’ll see you soon!

★★★★★

What can I say? This man is amazing! After trying to get in touch with my primary dentist for almost a week regarding my painful wisdom tooth, the pain became unbearable. I promptly looked up emergency dentists and came across Dr.P. He saw me two hours after I called and the extraction took less than 5 minutes. May I add, it was completely pain free! Dr. P was very professional and personable. I am definitely switching dentists and referring him to all of my friends and family.

★★★★★

My experience was great! I Called at 4 AM and left a message with the answering service the doctor was quick to return my call by 7 AM on a Sunday and immediately took me in. The procedure he did was quick and painless and he gave me great education and comfort, he also went the extra mile to call me back the following day to answer some additional questions I had. Overall very satisfied and will be coming back to do more dental work.

★★★★★

I been having the worst tooth ache for months. I finally couldn’t bare the pain. I called early Sunday morning and got a call back after a few hours. Dr. Pressling was able to get my tooth extracted the same day Sunday at 11:30am. I’m so relieved and thankful. It was such a great experience no fear, quick and painless. I would recommend to all my friends and family. If you need a sign to come anywhere this is it!

★★★★★

Dr. Pressling has been my dentist for almost two decades and never once have I questioned his professionalism or competency. He and the dental hygienists have genuinely cared about my concerns and have always answered my questions. The office staff have been great and always go the extra mile, to accommodate my scheduling needs. And, Irma is always a joy to chat with too! I moved out of the neighborhood several years ago and tried other dentists who were more convenient, but none could pass the bar set by Augusta Dental Center. So, I now travel back into the city for every appointment and its absolutely worth it. I highly recommend this dentist and his staff.

★★★★★

Dr Pressling had taken me in to do a wisdom tooth extraction without insurance or an appointment. I was a completely new customer and im the kinda girl who gets severely anxious at dentist, doctors, even little check ups. He made me feel very comfortable and reassured me that had done it before and I’d be okay. Once I arrived, 2 other customers were leaving and kept thanking him for saving their life and they were extremely satisfied so I got a lot less anxious. For my procedure he made sure I couldn’t feel anything and he removed my wisdom tooth in about 5 minutes without cracking it or hurting me! It was by far my best experience yet with a dentist. Hes human and as long youre communicating your feelings with him, he’ll take great care of you. Thank you Dr.!!!

★★★★★

Been going there for more than 20 years and am always grateful for Dr. Presling and his staff’s continued top notch work. I’ve gone there for root canal’s, cavities, cleanings, and I always come out happy with everything that Dr. Pressling has done for me. I highly recommend the dentist office for your kids, for your parents and for yourself.

★★★★★

Wonderful experience. I had an emergency root canal performed the same day I found out about his practice [2019]. QUICK. SIMPLE. PAINLESS. He had me in and out in maybe less than an hour? Including x-rays and assessment. The staff is really sweet and reassuring of everything. This year, I had to return for a similar procedure and I’ve had the same experience. He is very considerate of his patient’s needs (I am pregnant with twins this year). I’m typically afraid of the dentist, but not Dr. P!! Financially? Even works with you so you’re not going broke paying out of pocket. Highly recommend Dr. P.

★★★★★

Dr Pressling is amazing! I had an immediate emergency and he took care of my needs immediately. I was having unbearably pain on a weekend and he saw me on Sunday the day I called and ended up having to extract a tooth. He educated me on why the tooth could not be saved, I had absolutely no pain and gave me a wonderful referral for an implant. Ill be returning for my follow up soon.

★★★★★

Where do I begin. Dr. Pressling is absolutely amazing. As is Sue my hand holder for the novacaine injections. Lol. I am a single mom of 2 girls and I also take care of my elderly mother, so money is tight. That being said, I needed extensive dental work done as I went too long without getting them worked on due to financial issues. Dr. P was SO understanding and worked with me financially and made it so much easier. I was so embarrassed to smile for years. Dr. P gave that smile back to me. He gave me my confidence back and I can’t thank him enough for that. In a world where everything is so sad, I haven’t been happier then now. He is so attentive and the staff makes sure that everyone is safe during this time of Covid. They are very sanitary. All the front staff is amazing as well. They are very cheerful and make your experience very welcome. So to sum it up, THANK YOU to all of you for making me happy, and to Dr. P for making me whole again! Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Augusta Dental for all dental work!!

★★★★★

I had my crown pop out on a Saturday morning and was terrified of having to wait the entire weekend. I found Augusta Dental on the internet and felt they had good reviews. Just home and I must say it was a wonderful experience. Luz the hygienist gave me several insights on how to floss (which pulled off my crown) and could not have been nicer. Dr Pressling not only re-cemented my crown quickly but improved the tooth spacing which had made flossing difficult…great interaction. And Penny at the front desk, very friendly and helpful. I felt they had very good covid procedures as well. I highly recommend using this practice…what a godsend in an emergency as well.

★★★★★

Dr. Pressling was my life saver today! I had an abscessed tooth that I had to get out ASAP, and of course, I noticed and figured this out on Saturday night. I called Sunday morning, left some details with Mary, and after calling me back within just a few minutes, I was able to get me in for an emergency extraction within a couple hours; I was in and out within literally 20 minutes, and it was one of the easiest, most painless dentist visits I’ve had. I have a lot of anxiety around dentist visits, and Dr. Pressling is kind and easy to talk to. I even spit some blood on him/his office and he didn’t make me feel bad about it (Sorry again, doc!). I plan on making this my go-to dentist office. Thank you thank you to Dr. Pressling and his team for making something that was really quite scary for me an easy appointment.

★★★★★

I had a great experience with this clinic. I’m traveling, and was in severe pain. They got me in same day, looked at xrays I had forwarded them from another dentist, confirmed the need for a root canal, and saved my tooth and crown. Dr. P. actually made me laugh while I was in the chair.  Front desk and assistants were kind and no-nonsense. Cost exactly what my dentist in Minneapolis would have charged. If I lived here, I would get my dental care, here.

★★★★★

Had went to my own dentist on Saturday morning after a night in the ER trying to get antibiotics with a severe and painful dental abcess which they wouldn’t drain or do anything aside from give me antibiotics and schedule me for an appointment within the next 6 days. I couldn’t function and luckily I had Saturday and Sunday off from work or that would’ve just been hell but all I could do was stay in bed.. I was just in bed up all Saturday night until early Sunday morning on google trying to find solutions or even preparing to try to drain the abcess on my own.. I found Dr. Pressling and I called around 3am-4am Saturday morning. I heard back from him by 8am to get a 12pm appt which was bumped to 11am due to a cancellation but due to traffic and a very painful drive the ride up north took longer than I expected and I even arrived 26 minutes late. After I quickly filled out paper work. Dr. Pressling took a look at my teeth, X-rayed them and applied novacaine via injections around my tooth which was more painful to me than the actual tooth extraction and the tooth was out in under 1 minute I believe.. and I felt enough relief to the point where I laughed and smiled .. which was very contrary to how I had been when I initially came in. I was very satisfied and it’s only been about 6 hours since my tooth was pulled and I currently am reporting no pain at all.. compared to leaving the infected tooth in and waiting for antibiotics. Thank you Dr. Pressling.

★★★★★

Found Dr. P through “emergency dentist” search Saturday about an accident that left my two front teeth chipped. He called me back right away and was able to get me in ASAP. He repaired my smile with little discomfort and I felt confident in his expertise. The staff was so great that I booked an appointment for a cleaning the next week. Everyone is so nice and my experience was so great that I regret putting off the dentist like I normally do. I travel from Old Town and it’s so worth it. Definitely keeping all my follow up appointments.

★★★★★

I can’t say enough amazing things about the staff at this dental office! Especially Dr. Steven Pressling! He is amazing at what he does. I fear from the dentist so I avoid it but after coming here I think my fears are over. The front staff to the dentist assistants are sweetest ladies ever and so comforting. They are so honest as well which is a PLUS. I WILL FOREVER BE COMING  TO THIS OFFICE! (Keep in mind I live hour away)And no one told me to do this review it 100% coming from me. Thank you AUGUSTA DENTAL!!!

I was in so much pain. It was a Sunday and I thought I would have no luck finding a dentist who would actually come in and help me. This place is the absolute best! He was there waiting at the office when we got there 2 hours later. Well worth the drive. I recommend him to everyone. He is the best dentist that I have ever went to. I will drive 2 hours again anytime. I am so thankful for him. He really cares about people. So blessed to have met such a wonderful man. Thank you so much for healing me!

Thank you, Dr. P!!!!

★★★★★

This is the second time that I got my wisdom tooth pulled with Dr. P. He’s quick, efficient and he’s the bomb.com. I’d say that there was minimal pain during the oral surgery but its mostly pressure. He makes sure that you feel the least pain and that you get super fast recovery! I definitely recommend him if you want your wisdom teeth pulled out without pain. Also, we took snapchat videos after both of my extraction. Coolest dentist ever!
