Joseph C Styger, DDS

It is really hard for me to write such a negative review of someone that I have trusted for 7 years, but the time has come. After I started having major doubts about Dr. Styger’s insistence that I was grinding my teeth at night and needed to buy a $ 600 mouth guard to wear every night, and after being slapped with an expensive proposed bill for three cavities, I thought it might be time for a second opinion.
What I found after consulting 2 other dentists: I had no sign of teeth grinding, and it would be imprudent to work on what, according to the x-​rays, did not amount to 3 cavities. The teeth grinding thing was especially interesting to me, since I never told Dr. Styger that I had any pain in my jaw or reported any other symptoms. In the past, I have also had gum surgery at his recommendation, and have been told that I need to wear invisilines. I am not trying to argue that he was trying to hard sell me on everything – he could very well be right about some items. But after the teeth grinding thing, my trust is gone.
That being said, Dr. Styger’s staff have been very kind and clear with me about what my insurance does and does not cover (unlike what other people have said). His assistants are also very kind and they’re good at what they do. Dr. Styger is also very polite, and has excellent bedside manner. I just wish that he did not assume that I worked in tech (which in fact, he asked me while making small talk), and did not assume that I was willing and able to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on things that I do not need.

THE BEST dentist and office in the city. I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Styger and the folks who work with him. Dr. Styger is gentle and kind. He cares about each of his patients and it truly shows. The office has one of the most beautiful views in the city and going there makes something that could be a potentially unpleasant– very comfortable. If you’re looking for a dentist– look no further. Dr. Styger is a true gem.

I love visiting Dr Styger and his staff. I have been a patient for 8 years. Lori checks what my insurance covers in advance (I’ve changed jobs several times), then I am able to decide what I can afford. I like sharing travel stories with Dr. Styger (between my X-​rays and cleaning). I sent two friends and received a movie pass– that was an unexpected treat.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Styger since 2001, and we’re both big fans of his practice. Dr. Styger himself is really friendly and easy to talk with. His staff are always top notch and seem very comfortable working with insurance companies. I’ve probably been there 25 times over the years, and I’d say 23 of those I was seen on time and 2 times I maybe had to wait 5 minutes. In other words — both Dr. Styger and his hygienists are always super considerate about my time, and I love that. Equipment is very up to date, office atmosphere is clean and orderly, and parking around the corner at the parking garage is super easy. We’ve happily recommended Dr. Styger to friends.

I have been seeing Dr. Styger for well over a decade now. I would not go to any other dentist! He is always cheerful, welcoming, and professional (including his staff, which are simply lovely). I have had numerous dental procedures performed by him thoughout the years and have never experienced any post-​procedure difficulties. His work is meticulous and the outcomes have always been above my expectations. I have referred several family members and friends to him, all of whom have raved about how wonderful he was. In fact, my little brother received a set of veneers by Dr. Styger. The results were fabulous!

Our Family have been going to Dr. Styger for more than five years now, he and his staff are very professional. They never made us wait for our appointment, we always felt that we are in good hands. If there are any treatments needed it was explained clearly, oh! and when you need anesthesia… he is very gentle! He explains what he is doing every step of the way. I recommend Dr. Styger to my friends and family.!!

Dr. Styger is a roll-​your-​sleeves-​up practitioner and his office staff is gracious, professional and welcoming. I have had MUCH dental work done by mostly good dentists but I ‘m happy to have landed at Dr. Styger’s and plan to stay. I really feel like I am blessed to have found their office.

This guy is a great dentist. what more can i say.

Been going to Dr. Styger for almost a decade now and still is the best dentist I’ve ever been to in my life. Feels more like family vs. a boring, commercial dentists office. From cleaning to x-​rays to new fillings to replacing old fillings, I’ve had them done here. Also, he likes new technology and has the latest equipment to take care of whatever you need done.
Go get your «chompers» checked by him!

Dr. Styger and his staff are incredibly friendly and easy to work with. Also, Dr. Styger is very knowledgeable about dental work, and shares lots of information with patients. Plus, takes Delta Dental insurance.

PAINLESS dentistry, incredible skill and professionalism, an exceptionally clean, wel lit office, in a medical/​dental building with convenient parking… Add an outstanding and customer-​focused staff and you’ve just started to describe the practice of Joseph S. Styger, DDS. He could teach painless dentistry techniques at any dental school in the world. He told me that the root canal he did, to save one of my back teeth was, «the most difficult he’d ever done,» and I didn’t feel a thing!!!
His website,
lists the many other comprehensive services offered. His office manager can set you up with interest-​free financing through Care Credit. By any measure that I can determine, Dr Styger stands head and shoulders above any of the dozens of dentists who have worked in my mouth over the past 60 years… I would highly recommend his services to anyone and everyone in need of dental services… Jay O.

OUTSTANDING! Dr. Styger is the BEST dentist I have ever seen! And thank god I saw him because apparently my other dentist lacked to inform me of that my silver fillings were cracking my teeth. While I now need a crown, I am glad to know that I am in the capable hands of Dr. Styger and his staff. They are super knowledgeable and really friendly.
I had a cleaning which was painless. I had a chipped tooth that the other dentist never fixed properly and it looks AMAZING! I feel like I can finally smile again. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

So, starting your day with getting 4 fillings is just not fun — but, Dr. Styger and his team made it a totally easy, comfortable experience.
I definitely recommend people going to Dr. Styger for anything from a teeth cleaning to serious dental surgery.

Dr. Joe, as I affectionately call him, is an incredible, professional dentist and a wonderful human being. He has literally «saved» me more times than I care to remember. Several Sundays, a Friday night,…a tooth has gone bad and the pain was unbearable… no hesitation, Dr. Joe was there. His skill and knowledge is the best. His bedside manner can’t be beat. His has been my dentist for over 15 years, and I don’t know what I would have done without him. I trust him implicitly… everyone should be so lucky as to have such a talented and wonderful professional to care for them!

Wow. What a great and gentle dentist. I love his attention to detail and he really listened to my concerns with my teeth. Loved his office staff too!

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Styger and the hygienists he works with. They are all so sweet and helpful, and the doctor tells you every step of the procedure he is performing as he does it. It’s very soothing and inspires confidence. His equipment is all very state-​of-​the-​art. I am totally broke and they helped me come up with a payment plan for my root canal… for me to have spent 1200 bucks and still rave like this is saying quite a lot! Dr. Styger is the best.
Also he looks like Santa Claus.

my previous dentist was an asshole. he would show me pictures of diseased gums– this is what happens when you don’t floss– he would bark. but here’s the thing — I WAS FLOSSING PRICK. after one especially traumatizing appointment my friend at work, scooter, tells me… you don’t have to live like that, go to another denist. no wiser words had ever been said to me. in comes Dr. Styger and at that first appointment you know what he said?
–you have beautiful teeth
–i can tell you are a flosser
i almost wept with gratitude.
he and his staff are awesome and they’re good at what they do too. also, if you get an appointment around christams its decked out in decorations like you wouldn’t believe. like fake deer roaming the hallways– its a festive wonderland of winter. i love it!

Whoa – shocked to see a couple really negative reviews here. I’ve been seeing Dr. Styger for about two and a half years, and have been absolutely satisfied. He’s incredibly friendly and does good work. He will suggest optional services he thinks I might be interested in, but he’s certainly not pushy about them. I did opt to get Invisalign from him, and that has been great.
His staff is wonderful – courteous and friendly. They’re good at managing their schedule too; I have never had to wait more than five minutes, if that.

Get over your fear of dentists with Dr. Styger. He’ll take care of your teeth with little mess and no drama.
