Crest Hill Family Dental

My family and I have been seeing Dr Raia for decades. Dr Raia is a very intelligent and caring dentist. He does great work and I highly recommend his dentistry care to all.

Dr. Raia and his staff are top notch professionals in their field. I have been going to Dr. Raia for approximately 30 years. He believes in a participative form of dentistry where patient involvement in treatment is paramount. Recently, I had a surgical procedure performed for a dental implant on the lower left side of my mouth.
I was apprehensive before Dr. Raia explained the procedure very thoroughly to me, and assured me of its success. I should have had this procedure done 5 years go, but I kept putting it off (Chicken). The procedure was painless and after the numbing medication wore off, I felt no soreness or pain.
I expected to have pain associated with this procedure as it was, in my opinion, extensive. I filled the required pain medication prescription and took one pill later that evening for when the numbing subsided. I found out later that I really didn't need that pill.
I never experienced any pain after the surgery. It was like Dr. Raia had never performed the procedure. I was amazed! Prior to the operation, Dr. Raia had taken a 3D panorex of the proposed surgical location and had a surgical guide made to fit into my mouth which guided him in the procedure.
The guide allowed for exact millimeter of depth while drilling in my lower mandible. I should have done this years ago. I have completed 2 parts of a 4 or 5 part procedure, and I'm looking forward to my new implanted rear molar.
Thank you, Dr. Raia and staff for your personal attention and care while treating me over the years.

I went in with an emergency dental problem. They took me almost right away after I called. They worked with my insurance. They explained everything to me. They were very friendly and clear with everything happening. I am so grateful for their kindness and helping me out when I was in such pain. Everyone in the office was amazing. From the front desk, the assistants, the dentist. I am definitely going back for my regular cleanings and exams!

Absolutely, amazing staff they went over and beyond. Couldn't thank them enough. Definitely found my new dentist. Extremely professional and comforting! I was in extreme tooth pain and they were quick to take care of me. And made sure I was as comfortable as I could be. Thank you again!!!

The best dental experience I’ve had!!!! Dr. Raia, Martha, and the rest of the staff did everything they could and more to make sure I was the most comfortable during my first root canal. I highly recommend and will definitely be making them my permanent dentist!!!!!

Wonderful staff! It was my 4 year old daughters first time ever going to a dentist and I was nervous on how she would react but the staff made the atmosphere so friendly and inviting that she now asks to go to the dentist every day! Can’t beat affordable great care!

Dr. Raia is the first dentist that was able to help me, after seeing three or four dentist told me that there was no hope for me. Dr. Raia really did a miracle... something I had not expected! Dr. Raia is kind and thoughtful and his office staff makes me feel like I'm with family! Altogether I want to encourage those whom feel like they have no hope to get to Dr. Raia. I was referred to him by a friend, that's why I'm writing this, to refer you to him. Because I'm so grateful to my friend, and I want to do the same thing for you!
Even if you don't have a difficult problem or are just not satisfied with your dentist, do yourself a favor and start seeing Dr. Raia!

Dr. Raia and his staff are outstanding. Over the course of this year I’ve had many various procedures done by Dr. some simple to very complex. Every encounter with Dr. and his staff during this time has been exceptional. They work as a team and always are very professional. The environment is kept extremely clean and sterile therefore promoting safety at all times. Dr. And his staff are all very kind, compassionate and caring. The dental work is done with precision, accuracy and most importantly perfection. I highly recommend this Dr. to anyone looking to have dental work completed. I plan on being a patient at Crest Hill Family Dental for all of my future dental care needs and treatments. Thank you Dr. Raia and staff members for giving me back my smile and confidence.

Absolutely wonderful service and wonderful people! I had an emergency dental situation. I was in so much pain! Martha was able to get me in on the same day, although she couldn’t make me any promises they made a way to accommodate. I have never seen so much care in a dental office before. The only thing is Since I lost my job due to covid-19 they do not accept Medicaid coverage that I currently have, and I am sure they have their reasons. To bad I may have to go somewhere that accepts my coverage. Oh! Dr. Raia! You are amazing! I love how you explained everything to me thoroughly and broke down the care plan. You have a great team awesome job!

We are very thankful for Dr. Raia and his staff. When my teenager got his front tooth knocked out on a Saturday afternoon our regular dentist wasn't able to see him. I called Dr. Raia's office and they were able to see us right away, which gave us the best chance to save his tooth. Dr. Raia reimplanted the tooth and carefully walked us through the recovery and next steps. All in the office were incredibly helpful and showed great concern for my son's long-term well-being.

Myself, both immediate family and extended family have been seeing Dr. Raia and his care team for over 20 years! I have had very pleasant visits with positive outcomes. I continue to recommend Crest Hill Family Dental.

Went in with a dental emergency, and Dr. Raia took great care of me. The staff showed me so much empathy at my appointment. Thanks to Martha, Horatio and Dr. Raia for helping me through the process! I recommend anyone looking for a great dentist with a friendly staff to go to Crest Hill Family Dental.

I have been at many dental offices in my life, but none as outstanding as Dr. Raia's office. From the moment I arrived, the front staff was ready to great me. During my appointment, Dr. Raia explain everything he was about to do. I honestly enjoyed my appointment! This is the one office I can trust my family with. It was EXCELLENT!

I have always had a fear of going to the dentist. I was scared of pain and embarrassed. My first visit consisted of xrays, and a consult with Dr. Raia. I have NEVER met any professionals in any field, that were so polite and understanding. The entire staff was great. I recently had my first extraction done and I will definitely be going back for other work. They explained every thing they did and they were quick. I'm very happy and I strongly recommend this dentistry.

For the first time in my 67 years, I have a wonderful smile. Dr. Minal Patel and her assistant Crystal crafted beautiful front crowns. I couldn't be more happy. The office and all the staff, shout out to Tori, have made my husband and I feel comfortable while seeing to our dental needs. I would recommend them to anyone.

Well, I started out with Dr raia and staff in the 1980s , my family and I have been treated so kind and there is alot of knowledge there. I've had many situations over the years and must say my comfort came first and I could always know the work was being done to a high standard of care. Dr raia is surrounded kind staff who do their jobs so well and that makes all the difference . Pamela knows my teeth better then me that's for sure and her cleanings r always....FUN ! Not scary. So I think u can guess I would recommend this office to anyone looking for dentistry.....

Today was my first visit to see Dr Raia,it was a great experience.Pamela was awesome,she made you feel comfortable and explained everything in detail.I recommend if you are looking for a dentist ,this is the Place! Thank you for the great service! Your whole staff was awesome!

Couldn't be more pleased with Dr. Raia and his staff. They are very professional and they listen to everything you have to say without making you feel rushed. Also, agree with other review(s) - had a root canal and post put in - no pain during procedures and minimal residual pain afterwords. Just awesome!

The best dentist experience of my life! Great people who are friendly and actually care about your mouth personally. They explain everything about your dental care and are very knowledgeable about dentistry. Highly recommend them

I haven’t been to the dentist since I was a teenager due to fear. Well let’s just say Dr. Thomas Raia and his entire staff made me realize that There is no need to fear the dentist. I went to two different dental practices and they both said extraraction. Dr. Thomas Raia and his assistant Leticia both let me know that saving my tooth was an option. Dr. Raia performed a root canal in under an hour WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN. Dr. Raia has spent years perfecting his craft and it shows. I appreciate everyone there from the first phone call with Leslie to squeeze me in last minute, down to even the explanation of the financial plan. The entire staff is knowledgeable and was able to educate me every step of the say. Great staff Dr. Thomas Raia. You guys are the Dream team!
